1 Car Stall problem

Failure Date: 03/01/2021

My vehicle stalled recently when I was driving slowly coming to a stop. . Prior to the stall when I turned my car on it made a tick sound but drove ok until it stalled. I was able to get it started and drove home. When I checked the oil there it was empty. I was well under them time before I needed my next oil change. I had it diagnosed and was told that it was a piston and ring issue that was the same thing described in the class action lawsuit involving 2010-2013 Equinox. Because mine is a 2015 I received some cost assistance but paid $1200 out of pocket for the fix. Seems like gm knows about this issue but has not let consumers know about this safety concern. I was upset because I drive with my children who are 3 and 1. Gm needs to tell their consumers about this problem.

8 Car Stall problem

Failure Date: 06/17/2019

Camshaft position actuator solenoid this happens as soon as we turn the car on, put it in drive and begin to accelerate. It also does it when we are idling at a stop light or stop sign the engine with start to jump as if it's not reacting to the accelerator. While we are traveling down the road you can feel the car jump as if it's trying to stall itself. We have to put the car back in park to start it so if this happens while we are traveling at a high rate of speed then that could cause a major accident or something more trajic. Our car stalls when it's at idle or when we are beginning to accelerate. This poses a huge safety concern for our family as we are going to have an infant in a month. We have been doing research on this particular problem and it seems there are hundreds of others with the same issue as us. This needs to be recalled and resolved.
