The variable valve timing solenoid is causing the vehicle to stall out unexpectedly.
While at idle, the car stalled. Was able to restart the engine but as soon as I took my foot off the break and pressed the gas, the car would stall again. Had it towed to the dealership and they diagnosed it as a misfunctioning intake camshaft solenoid. Part was replaced. This same issue has been reported numerous times. This needs to be recalled before serious injury occurs. My kids were in the car with me when this happened.
Purchased my Equinox a year ago June 2019. The car was doing fine up until about the 2nd month mark I had it. The car began to have a very rough and jerky stop. I brought it to the dealer and they found nothing wrong. I got a oil change at least every month due to my job and having to drive frequently. In March I noticed my car was idling rough but drove ok. While leaving work I was stopped at a red light my car stalled and the engine completely turned off in the middle of traffic. I turned it off and restarted it. Couple days later it did it twice as I was backing out into traffic. I took it to the dealership and my car was completely empty of oil even though I had just gotten an oil change. I now have to do oil consumption test every 2k miles. My car still shifts rough at acceleration and during downshifting. I had to have my camshaft solenoid sensor replaced as well. My car has 55k miles.
