85k miles and using 3 quarts of oil within 2000 miles. Vehicle stalls while driving. There have been similar issues with 2011 and 2012 where service bulletins and extended coverage have been added.

The vehicle had a recall for the windshield wiper for the rear window. Nevertheless, the engine started stalling and when I had diagnostic test done the mechanic explained their were metal shavings going into my oil from a defective engine.

Engine stalls while driving. Specifically, the car would occasionally starts up in "stall mode", that its rpm would be lower than normal (~500rpm vs ~1000 normally); in such stall mode, the engine and entire car would shake significantly on idle/stopped-with-brake, and would 100% stall by letting go of brake pedal without stepping on gas pedal; if gas pedal is stepped on but not enough, engine would stall, otherwise, if gas pedal is stepped on hard enough, the car can change from 1st gear into 2nd in a very rough manner, you can feel it physically sitting in the car, then the car would perform normally as long as car stay above 2nd gear with enough rpm. Car stalled in the middle of busy intersection / crossroad left turning.

Vehicle has been meticulously maintained. Engine started to stall while driving, then would not start. Warning lights did not appear until after the vehicle would not start. Said engine underpowered. Had it towed to mechanic, who found there was no oil in the engine, even though no lights came on and we checked the oil 3 days earlier. Had the car towed to the dealer. The dealer said the engine needed to be replaced, but repairs should be covered under a special coverage warranty issued by gm. Gm denied coverage with no explanation sent to me. I called customer service to file an appeal, and was given a file number and told someone would contact me within 2 business days. Despite almost daily follow up calls by me for a month no one has called me back. Each time I am told it the case is being handled by a senior advisor and that the operator was not able to contact them and they would call me back. I asked for the case to be escalated to a supervisor, and after 4 times was told it had been, but when I called back to see why no one had called me back was told that the senior advisor was still assigned to the case. This is a very serious safety issue, with the engine stalling while still in motion, with no warning, and is caused by a known manufacturer's defect and should be part of a recall, not "special coverage".

Equinox very suddenly started running roughly and making a "knocking" noise from the engine and acted as if engine wanted to stall while idling. Low engine oil light came on, we stopped for oil and added oil. Started Equinox up, low engine oil light was no longer on. Drove the Equinox for approximately ten (10) minutes when it made a horrendous shuddering noise, engine warning light came on stating "stop engine now". We pulled off to side of highway. End result: the engine was blown and needed to be replaced at cost of $8,000. 00, five months after the 5 year warranty expired. Equinox only had 64,000 miles on it and oil had been changed regularly including in late August 2017. Subsequently came to learn that gm has many engine and engine oil related issues with Equinoxes dating back to 2011 at least. Our Equinox had not been subject to any recalls.

Engine stalled out while driving and almost caused accident. Timing chain slipped and ruined my entire engine, no warnings, no signals or none of any kind. Reading alot of complaints about this same problem and there should of been a recall on this 2. 4l engine from gm a long time ago! maintenance has been maintained and up to date since car was first driven off lot.

Intermittent vibration felt when engine idling. Then engine would stall when coming to a stop. Happened maybe 6-8 times. Got an oil change (wasn't overdue), and problem stopped.

Engine stalled out while idling in gear, accelerating from a stop or when deaccelerating to a complete stop. Needed one foot on brake one foot on gas to keep running. Lost all power assist controls in traffic when vehicle stalled.

At times it seems like the transmission doesn't shift properly when starting to accelerate. It's as if it's not sure what gear to go into. Currently I have an engine light on and it stalls frequently. If I slow down or start to accelerate it will stall. I'm afraid I'm going to get rear ended by someone! it also blows out white smoke from the exhaust. I seem to be adding oil more often than I should.

Engine stalls at low rpm. Over the last few months at random times from reverse / backing up the engine would stall. The engine has stalled at red lights when staking off at low rpms, causing people behind me to stop suddenly while I have to put the car in park and start the engine.

Engine stalls while slowing or after coming to a stop. Restarts once placed into neutral.

Vehicle engine stalled while the vehicle was in motion at 35 mph resulting in impaired steering ability, and loss of vehicle control in a road curve. A crash was narrowly avoided. No warning light or operator notification was present prior to the incident. Odb scan codes indicated a p0010 code ¿camshaft position actuator solenoid valve¿. Vehicle stalled while vehicle was in motion on at least 5 other occasions returning vehicle to dealer for service. Service history indicates the intake camshaft solenoid was replaced under warranty in 2011 due to identical failure mode and fault code, the exhaust camshaft solenoid failed with code p0011 and was replaced under warranty in 2015, and the intake camshaft solenoid failed again in 2016 at 34,681 total vehicle miles. Vehicle has been operated in nominal city driving conditions with consistent maintenance of the oil and oil filter per the oem oil life monitor. The third failure of the camshaft solenoid was charged at customer expense. Repeat failure of the camshaft solenoid actuator indicated an unmitigated product design issue resulting in engine stalls without warning while the vehicle is in motion and impaired steering control.

I have had problems with my 2011 Chevrolet Equinox since the day I got it but yesterday was the worst. The engine all of a sudden stalled on the highway and I had to pull off the road. I just had it in the shop last week and had the fuel pump and timing chain replaced. I was able to get my car home only able to drive 40 mph. This morning I was going to try to get it to work to be closer to someone who could check the code out on it but as I was going down the road it completely stalled out and I barely got off the road before the engine cut out all together. I have read numerous forums of customer with the same vehicle having the same problem. This is a safety issue and gm needs to address it. The shop is saying that if it's the fuel throttle body which is what I suspect they will not cover it under warranty. From what I understand there was a bulletin put out on this issue and it was covered for awhile on the powertrain warranty but they pulled the bulletin and no longer cover it. I need help. Gm knows they have issues with this vehicle but they will not do anything about it.

This vehicle uses about 1 quart of oil per 1000 miles. With no warning from manufacturer or dealer and the recommended oil change at every 4 to 5 thousand miles, the oil level is gone by the time the oil change is due. This repeated action causes the cam position sensor to sludge up and become faulty. This in turn causes the motor to stall. There have been many complaints of the engine stalling on the highway. Mine has stalled many times in city traffic. Due to my driving skills I have avoided any accidents. It is only a matter of time before there are deaths attributed to this issue. Although the manufacturer has been aware of this problem since 2007, it has not even gone as far as installing a low oil level sensor to help prevent this from happening.

Took my car in for service because the car was shaking, and rattling while driving, loss of engine power. Eventually the engine stalled and stalled several times upon restarting the engine. The service team said they needed to replace an O2 sensor. Since then the car is still stalling and riding rough but does not happen as often. Service department keeps telling me they are not able to ?reproduce the problem?. So far the car has stalled on me 4 times in less than a week after being the in shop twice for the same problem. A car with less than 45,000 miles should not be doing this !! this poses a danger to the public and my family if it stalls and I am unable to get the car off the road in time to avoid an accident.

While waiting on red light with foot on the brake the car started stalling, loosing rpm and engine stopped. I started it again and released the brake and pushed the gas slowly to get thru the intersection and the car began loosing rpm again and almost stalled again put me and my baby in very dangerous situation in the middle of the intersection. There is obviously some serious problems with the chevy Equinox engine and gm has to take this matter seriously before somebody gets killed on the road or cause chain accident because engine stalls.

When accelerating to pull onto highway, engine stalls with no response from accelerator pedal and sometimes engine completely shuts off and you have to restart the vehicle. This is an intermittent problem that happens often. My vehicle has been to the dealer several times for this issue but the dealership has yet to find the problem. I have also contacted Chevrolet customer support about this problem and told them of my concerns of having an accident because of this issue. I have researched this problem on the internet and found owners of 2010-12 Chevrolet Equinoxs all over the united states are having the same problem.
