Engine Clicking And Tapping Noises problems of the 2019 Chevrolet Equinox

On June 28 we were traveling from northern California to southern calif. When going up a steep incline, I heard a popping sound coming from the engine. Immediately, lost power, check engine light came on, with a message "reduced power". At the time, car was virtually brand new, with only 1335 miles we were in a fairly remote area, so I pulled off the interstate, and called for a tow to nearest Chevrolet dealer (37 miles away). Dealer was already closed, it was 9 pm. Left car overnight at dealer, and contacted them next day. Dealer service dept. Stated it was a "throttle body pipe that popped off, and it would take a few days foe fix, and replacement part. We were 400 miles away from home, dealer did arrange for rental car to go back home with. Repair took nearly 2 weeks. When notified that car was ready, I drove back down to valencia, calif. From sacramento area to bring car home. I went 2 blocks, and check engine light immediately appeared, returned to dealer, and the installed some sort of clamp, as a fix, and was told all is now ok. I proceeded home, going up the same incline 35 miles later, and same problem occurs, lost power, check engine light,with reduced power message. Was towed back to same dealer again. Service manager explained this was a common problem in Equinox model, that gm has no good answer for. Again, diagnosis was "intake pipe popping off throttle body". Again, it took 2 weeks to replace intake pipe and throttle body. After repairs, I'm still noticing that acceleration is somewhat choppy , and not smooth. I still am not happy, and intend to have my local dealer, address this problem, that I'm starting to see, is a widespread gm Chevrolet problem.

I have a 2019 Equinox that I bought with only 29 miles when purchased 5/22/19. Within the second week of driving the vehicle on the freeway I heard a popping noise and I then the a message came a cross the screen saying lising power from the engine! I was so scared on the freeway ! I have a new car, what could be the problem! the car reduced speed! I took it to george matick Chevrolet . My car was in the shop for 2 days and they discovered it was the air tube had came off! my car was returned back to me after service. 2 weeks later while driving to indianapolis the tube popped 9ff again! I called on star they navigated me to the nearest dealership. The dealer connected the tube back and told me it was okay to drive , and showed me how to reconnect the tube if it came off again! this was so scary to be on the highway with a new car and things like this is happening! I no longer wants this vehicle! I get back to michigan takes it to the dealership now they have to order the part it will take a couple of days to get the part in. Ok the car is fixed again! 3 weeks later the same problem after a new tube was placed on the car 6/ 26 /19, the car is back at the dealership same problem plus now they have to change the throttle! I feel like I bought a nightmare!😡😭.

Hose clip that goes to turbocharger has popped off twice now. I currently have 3400 miles on it. I bought brand new in April 2019. The first time it happened was when I was on street traffic and I accelerated and heard a loud clunk noise. At first, I thought I got rear-ended. They had my car at the dealer for three weeks due to the part being back ordered. Got back and within the first 100 miles of driving, the same problem happened again, but this time I was on the freeway, which could have ended badly. I was also told at the dealer that this is a common problem. The problem is though, that a serious accident can occur over a $25 dollar clip that is obviously an engineering flaw.

I was returning home from a trip in the mountains and heard a popping sound from underneath the vehicle and the vehicle suddenly acceleration. Luckily I was near an exit off of the tollway within 3 miles of a chevy dealership. This could've been a really dangerous situation where is the rocky mountains. If this had happened during a steep graded incline, it could've been life-threatening. The vehicle was certainly would not have made it up the mountain and could have caused a rear end collision resulting in a deadly crash knocking the car over a guard rail. God forbid it would've been during the winter months with snow unless traction. The car only had 4500 miles on it. The dealer said they are aware of the problem and the repair part was on indefinite backoreder with gm. He cannot give me a date when the car would be repaired.
