Engine cylinders & seals are faulty and easily crack causing the car to stop /stall while in drive! I nearly hit a semi-truck because the car stoped mid drive and the car jerked so hard that the wheel jerked to the side and then locked!! as the car continued to glide in a circle because it didnt stop all the way I could not turn the wheel to avoid the semi, what saved my life was the clear road that allowed the semi to go around me!! my car literally sat in the middle of the street across the yellow line! this issue persists and corrupts the entire fuel system, catalytic conveyer, resonator, and timing chain simultaneously! this causes each owner to replace the entire engine because it simply can not be fixed. Fixing or repairing one of the components does not fix the issue or stop the engine from failing, all must be replaced! even after replacing it all the same thing happens to the new engine! this is a engine malfunction. The entire car/engine/blueprint should be destroyed and recalled!!! even the mechanics and dealers are asking why these vehicles still exist and saying that the engine for this car is junk and it’s so common for this to happen to the point that there are no used engines for under $2500!!! majority of the mechanics are even refusing to repair/replace the engine in this car because it’s a waste of time & money because the next engine new or used will do the same exact thing!! no one is going to pay $10,000+ for a new engine or even $2500+ for a used engine plus $2000+ for labor only for the same exact problem to happen after spending $5000 - $12000+.

I started having issues with my car stalling, there was no acceleration and the car was shaking. When the car was stopped, there was also shaking. After the car would get going, the shaking would stop, but whenever I stopped the problem would persist. I have my car at the dealer right now for 4 days. They are telling me the motor seems to be consuming too much oil and that the motor is shot, they are accusing me of not keeping up with oil changes, which is not true, and that I am responsible for the cost of repairs. I did not have the oil changes done at the dealer, but at another local shop, but don't have all of the receipts, just one from the oil change done on 3/15/2021. Is there any way to check the on-star system or computer, to see that the maintenance was completed? the car sends alerts for all sorts of things, low tire pressure, low oil, low fuel, etc. I never received low oil messages. The dealer is refusing to request any computer records for the car. The car was leased is early 2020 and shouldn't be having these kinds of issues.

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.

My 2015 chevy Equinox completely failed on 2/17/21. The engine light came on for first time that afternoon and 8 minutes later the car completelt stalled in the middle of 3 lanes of traffic. Car had to be pushed to safety then towed to mechanic who diagnosed timing chain failure which also destroyed engine cylinders. Vehicle has 106k miles and all manufacturer recommended maintainance was done on schedule at chevy dealership of purchase.

I just dropped my kids off at school and was headed home when my car started stalling, and oil pressure low warning came on. A few minutes down the road, the engine power light came on and the car turned off while driving. I started it again long enough to roll into a parking lot beside me. I've had my car towed 3times, first to a chevy dealership who quoted me a $1,400 fix for a seal repair, after they had done a diagnostic inspection. I was also told they could assist in a trade in because of the repairs needed. I would first need to pay for it to be fixed. I got two other opinions at respectable garages who said it was my rear main seal and both quoted $2,400. I had to get a loan to pay for repairs. Following the fix, the mechanic test drove it and said the brand new seal blew again. They did research and saw there is a manufacturer malfunction with the engine and to complete the tasks to reconfigure my engine so it could work properly and the same problem not happen, it would be an additional $800 but there's no guarantee it wouldn't happen again. With my first stop being the chevy dealership, I am upset I've had to pay over $3,000 on my car and now it's not even guaranteed to be fixed. Chevy mechanics should have caught this issue when I originally took my car there. It's been a month now I've been without a car. As a single mother, I've spent a lot of money having to rent cars and using uber/lyft when this problem should have been addressed a month ago when I originally sought the dealership� help.

The vehicle will stall whenever stopped at a red light or stop sign and in drive. Have to put it in neutral to keep rpm at normal level, otherwise it will go down to 500 rpm or shut off. Vehicle rattles and shakes when driving. Cleaned the throttle body, replaced O2 sensor, had the engine rebuilt 6 months ago because of a recall. This is highly unsafe, unreliable and absolutely not ok for a car with 87,000 miles. There needs to be a recall because it is obvious from reading through different forums on the internet that a lot of other people have the same exact issue at different mileages.

My 2016 chevy Equinox randomly stalls while driving, at any random time. No lights or warnings go off to let me know that this is going to happen, it just stops. Everything turns off, the steering wheel locks and all power shuts off. You have to stop and throw it in park and restart it. It usually does restart right away but this is extremely dangerous. Most of the time it happens when you try to move from a complete stop or slow down, but it has happened a few times while in drive. Vehicle stalls when in motion and when stopped. Vehicle stalled on residential roads. I believe the problem could be the piston rings or crank sensor.

While driving my 2012 chevy Equinox on illinois, I-90 at 70 mph vehicle started to lose power. Engine could not accelerate, started shaking, than stalled. Putting myself & family at risk & in danger. Engine needed to be replaced or rebuilt, had it rebuilt. Gm is aware of their faulty engines but continues to sell these cars and put families at risk. They lost a lawsuit but continue to deny claims & resell the faulty vehicles. Waited almost a year to be denied. These vehicles with the faulty engines need to be pulled immediately & consumers need to be reimbursed for the cost of fixing gm's mistakes.

The car started glitching and all of the warning lights were going on and off while I was driving. The wipers and turn signals were flashing as well. Following all of this the motor shut down and I had to put the car in neutral and restart it while exiting the highway. The car has since been parked and if I go to start it again it begins with the wipers acting own their own and if it does start the motor runs very rough and stalls with no warning. Also while all this is happening the throttle pedal has no response to the motor.

I have had all recalls done on this car. Have had basically everything but the engine replaced. It runs like it is a semi. Stalls at stop lights. Has died twice while driving it - and would not start again even in neutral. I am afraid to drive it because it could stall out when going through an intersection. I keep the oil changed regularly. I don't know what else to do. I can not afford to replace the engine - I still owe on my car loan on this car. In all the 40 plus years I have driven cars, I have never had this much trouble with a vehicle. I can understand having to do something every once in awhile - like transmission, etc. I have spent over $3000 on different "fixes" that havn't fixed it. I am usually a Chevrolet person, but I am not going to buy a Chevrolet again.

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.
