My engine light came on while driving my Equinox 2013, car started stalling and running rough,the car starts up, however cut off at the traffic stop, I had my car diagnosed. Odometer 166,388; which needed timing chain set, timing solenoid and cam shaft,and variable valve. Cam sensor, in addition in between oil changes by the dealership, I also, have to add oil my car uses excessive amount, I thought I had a great SUV, I even recommended and spoke highly of my Equinox, please look into this issue and resolve these problems.
Vehicle is using excessive amounts of oil between oil changes. The vehicle has always been very well maintained and only has 85,000 miles on it. The vehicle now dies or stalls and is inoperable. I have noted hundreds of complaints about this issue and a prior recall for earlier model years. A service bulletin was published but vehicle owners were never informed of the well known issue. I now have a vehicle that is worthless after buying it new in 2013.
On 2. 25. 19 while stopped at a red light my car stalled twice when I gave it gas to go, than while trying to back into a parking space it stalled twice. On my way back to work the engine light came on, after a day or two it went out. Today 3. 5. 19 on my way to work I was driving and the lights dimmed and the radio turned off for about a min. Or so and when it came back on it was like I had just started the car. After getting gas I started my car and before I put it in gear it stalled out, restarted it and it kept stalling about 6-8 times than finally I turned it on and it didn't hesitate or the dash light dim so I put in gear and it drove ok but I was worried that it might stall when I was making a turn or in the middle of an intersection. This is a very dangerous condition if you are driving and your car just stops in the middle of the road. There was a recall on the 2011 Equinox for this same problem and if so many people are having the same problems on other years 2010-2016 noted then there should be a recall on all these years and get this problem fixed. I notice that unless there a number of deaths involved these dealers/manufactors don't do anything about fixing these problems. We spend lots of money on these cars and we should't have to worry if we're going to have an accident in them with our families. The times this has happened it has been in gear or while I am putting it in gear. The 2011 recall 11195a.
On oct. 23, 2018, engine light came on in the morning. Called onstar in afternoon for code;onstar did not provide code but said it should be serviced ASAP and made appointment at nearby dealership for next morning. That evening when braking to leave a parking area, the engine completely died/stalled out. Had car towed to dealer. Dealer replaced solenoid sensor.
Vehicle timing chain broke 3 months out of warranty. I had 57,000 miles on the car. Chevrolet refused to acknowledge a problem or pay for any repair costs. The vehicle (including the power steering) completely stalled out while I was turning off a busy state highway on a holiday weekend. I was stranded in the lane of traffic until I was safely able to get a couple of good samaritans to assist with physically pushing it off the road.
This is a complaint thats common in Equinox 2. 4l the oil comsumption and its stalling when idling.
The vehicle uses an excessive amount of oil which has ruined the pistons and cylinders. It is only a matter of time before the engine dies while driving. It has had problems with stalling out while idle or starting to go due to this issue as well as rough idling. It is the same issue the 2011 and 2012 models had and they received a replacement/recall.
Tl the contact owns a 2013 Chevrolet Equinox. While driving approximately 60 mph, the traction control and low power warning indicators illuminated and the vehicle stalled. The vehicle was towed to lou lariche Chevrolet (40875 Plymouth rd, Plymouth, mi 48170) where it was diagnosed that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 77,400.
The car didn't start after parking for food pickup, we noticed that after getting a boost, the 'engine light' was lit, it stayed on. This happened twice again, but we used our insurance road side assistance, again the 'engine light' remained lit. This has happened multiple times, whereas we purchased a battery charger. During drive/ waiting at multiple red lights, and backing out of parking spaces, the car stalls- to the point we put it 'n', after experiencing stalls when placed in 'p'. The oil can be low, but no indicator on the panel, but the panel reads check electrical system, so we took it to a shop and informed it was the battery, seeking another opinion, we were told it wasn't the battery, but another part of the electrical system. Upon trying to have the car inspected, we were turned down due to the 'engine light'. We went to a reputable car part dealer, and informed it was the timing chain, timing sensor, along with (2) two other codes. The battery is hid under a housing/ cover, which made it hard to get a boost, when the recommended charging procedure didn't work. This is very frustrating, and research leads us to understand, that a costly repair is ahead. Plus, our research of the experienced problems, shows that they occurred in earlier models. The (2013)vehicle was purchased from a national car rental agency, Nov 2015, is it possible that this vehicle was defective at purchase time, with unresolved issues as earlier models? additionally, the car has veered/ jerked to either side, from stop to go, and while driving, without us turning the wheel. Thank the lord the latter, occurred at low speeds, and dry pavement. The 'when did this happen' date is the latest date, not the only date.
6 months after purchase car began stalling. Vehicle always was low on oil, even with proper maintenance. Loss of acceleration speed and stalling became usual. Finally after filling the tank it stalled and would not start so we had it towed. Timing chain was the reason given so $3600 later I figured it was fixed. Not the case. Oil was still having to be added and 1. 5 years later while driving, the motor has blown. We still owe 9k on a car that is inoperable and also usaa requires us to keep our insurance. I.
