The contact owns a 2014 Chevrolet Equinox. The contact stated while driving from a complete stop, the vehicle loss motive power with the check engine warning light illuminated.

Vehicle has 55000 miles and check engine light is on. In scanning the car I was told that p0010 the intake positions actuator circuit and p0013 exhaust camshaft position actuator circuit needed to be serviced to the tune of between 1200. 00 and 1500. 00 dollars which is normal for these cars I. Think this is bs I have oil changed every 2000 miles or 3 months with castrol dexos 5w30 and lucas oil stabilizer. Sounds like this should be covered by yhe manufacturer.
My car runs rough and shuts off when slowing down or stopping at stop signs and red lights. My car has 112,000 miles and warranty ran out at 100,000. Check engine light code is p0010. This seems to be a very big problem for the Equinox and there are no recalls. The older models have recalls for the same issue. I feel this is a very dangerous issue that cheverlet should take responsibility for.
While driving on the interstate during a rainstorm and using the wipers at high speed the wiper transmission linkage disengaged and operation immediately ceased. Visibility was completely zero and very nerve racking when you are driving at a higher rate of speed. While on the highway the vehicle went into limp home mode and the check engine light came on. The call shaft actuators had failed and were subsequently replaced. The 2. 4l ecotec engine consumes an abnormal amount of oil. More than 1 quart per thousand miles. Milage is approximately 75,000 miles. Also has intermittent hesitation when accelerating with a distinct "jerk". Accelerator position sensor failed at 35k miles.
Purchased my pre-driven SUV 88 days ago. After pumping gas, I attempted to start my car & it wouldn't start. I turned off the radio, tried again because it was cold out it started but simultaneously the �check engine light� canmr on. While idling at a traffic light less than a min later, it cut-off again! another car was right behind me. I turned on my flashers & started up again. When attempting to pulling out of the parking lot at my next stop, it cut-off again! I restarted my car, kept my flashers on and prayed while driving down the street trying to arrive home to beat the expected �icestorm� I called the service dept but they were closed but would call back. The next morning I had my car towed back to the dealer - 13 miles away. The service dept. Has had had my car for more than 2 days & couldn't identify the problem. They eventually said the error code was p0010. The part needed was: cam shaft position acuator. The extended warranty that the dealer suggested & I paid for, refused to cover parts, labor or rental reimbursement even after arguing with the service mgr. Judging by the comments/complaints this is a serious problem with the Equinox, I'm not the only one. I am a widow, on disability & need a reliable vehicle but this defect has placed me in a very serious situation. I could have been rear-ended or much worse seriously injured. This is dangerous! this needs to be recalled and remedied once-and-for-all. I had no prior knowledge or I wouldn't have purchased this car! ( I was asked to verify the type of gas - regular unleaded not diesel & I have my receipt of purchase. ).
While driving on 1-30-19, my Equinox started rattling and the check engine light came on. I check the oil and it was almost empty. There was oil dripping from the main rear oil seal so I had the vehicle towed to an auto mechanic. After he inspected the vehicle he explained that I blew out the rear main seal due to a plugged pvc valve and there was a service bulletin for this problem, (14882). I contacted a local dealer an he said my VIN was not listed under this bulletin. However they were unable to answer what criteria was needed to be covered under this service bulletin.
Purchased vehicle in August of 2018 and about a month later car began to feel different while driving. Problem began when I would come to a complete stop and car would jump when accelerating. Then while going in reverse car would shut off without warning. I had no check engine light on at this point. No check engine light until about March 2018. The with accelerating went from a �juml�, to car stalling and having to be restarted. Began as an every now and then problem to having to be put in the shop because it would stall almost every time I would stop. When it stalled in a major highway with my children in the car was my final point of frustration. It is now April 2019 and is currently being diagnosed. Have had a few different opinions on what the problem could be, but no fix yet. All are costly! after reading reviews this seems to be a problem with 2014 Chevrolet Equinox and should have been recalled!.
My car has begun stalling at red lights and generally whenever I need to stop, I don't get any warning lights check engine light has never gone on and it starts back up but this is extremely frustrating and I'm afraid to drive my car for fear that I'm going to be stranded. I have done all my oil changes on time and take good care of my vehicle very sad that a 4 year old vehicle has this going on.
A week after an oil change and tire rotation on 6/12/2018 Chevrolet Equinox, the check engine light came on and my vehicle shuts off automatically at traffic lights and when I'm parking. I took it to autozone for a free diagnostic reading but nothing comes up except a suggestion to change the solenoid. The tech suggested I add stp gas treatment. After the first bottom and driving 200 plus miles out of state, the light went off briefly. I've added 2 more bottles of gas treatment and drove back home but my vehicles is still shutting off and the engine light is back on. I was in baltimore on 7/12, and my vehicle shut off at 3 traffic lights. I was fortunate that the people behind me didn't resend me. I was in NJ this weekend and it shut off at multiple traffic lights and stop signs. I'm taking it to autozone tomorrow to get a printout of the diagnostics then taking it to the dealership. However, my fear is they will charge me for work that won't fix the issue. Why hasn't m don't a recall for the 2014 model? this is very dangerous and none of us should get rear ended and hurt for them to formally do a recall.
The catalytic converter in the car had to be replaced; the check engine light came on while driving and when taken to the shop, they discovered the catalytic converter was worn out (eroded?) and needed to be replaced.
Check engine light came on after flushing fluids by dealer, car now stalls at when ideling.
Tl-the contact owns a 2014 Chevrolet Equinox. The contact stated that while driving 55 mph, the check engine light illuminated without warning. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 106,000. Ad.
My husband and I bought brand new 2014 Chevrolet Equinox. Thinking that this would be an investment as a reliable and safe family car, it has been nothing but a headache. It currently has less than 60k miles and it has engine failure problems and isn't drive-able. . . The engine unexpectedly lost power while my husband was driving down the 91 freeway from irvine to riverside around 70 mph. The engine literally slowed to about 10-15 mph. My husband is a decorated marine corps war veteran who has survive three tours in afghanistan, who would have thought that a humdrum commute to work almost cost him his life. And now the check engine light is on and I am too afraid to drive it. This life threatening situation is only the most significant sometimes the car get stuck in back up cam mode or the radio shut off randomly and refuses to come back on. If I am going up a hill or a mountain the car won't go over 40 mph, and I can't trade it in cause I owe more than what the car is worth.
