Engine Belts And Pulleys problems of the 2016 Chevrolet Equinox

The timing belt on my engine went out resulting in my vehicle dying whenever my car idled low. If I didn?t constantly give it some gas, the car would shut off. This would happen at red lights and stop sign where I couldn?t give the car gas, so I?d end up stopping in the middle of an intersection with incoming traffic. I had to get my car repaired and two different mechanics (one at a chevy dealership) said that timing belts are an issue with chevy Equinox. This was the very first repair I needed done on my car and at only 77,000 miles. The mechanic at the dealership said I?d most likely only get another 50,000 miles out of the engine. That would be short of 130,000 miles. I think if timing belts are such and issue with this model of vehicle then there should be a recall on them.

Tl the contact owns a 2016 Chevrolet Equinox. While driving various speeds, the instrument panel went black. The vehicle was taken to moss bros. Auto group (12625 auto mall drive, moreno valley, California 92555, (951) 485-3500) to be diagnosed, but the failure could not be duplicated. Afterwards, the power steering seized and the vehicle stalled without warning. The contact stated that the vehicle would not restart when prompted. The vehicle was towed to tom bell Chevrolet (800 alabama street, redlands, California 92374, (909) 283-0690) where it was determined that the vehicle exhibited "low voltage". The battery was replaced in 2016. The contact stated that the diagnostic trouble codes were erased; therefore, the dealer could not duplicate the "low voltage" failure reading. Additionally, an alarm sounded, the seat belt warning indicator illuminated, and the instrument panel gauge readings were inconclusive. The manufacturer was made aware of the failures and provided case number: 8-4836904116. The failure mileage was 10,155.
