| Sep 2025 | FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | Car would not turn over only grinning noise. Stranded in parking lot. Had to have car towed to dealer. They replaced the fuel pump. The car would not start again 2 days later. I was stranded again. I kept trying and it finally started. It stopped intraffic just died on the way home. Before help came I got it started and made it home. I had it towed to the dealer again. This time they said it is the fuel pump modular.

| Sep 2025 | FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | On July 23, 2025 My Equinox quit running as I was pulling out into an intersection. After several attempts to restart with no success I called my roadside assistance provider and had the Equinox towed to a repair facility. After diagnostics on July 24, 2025 it was determined that the Fuel Pump Control Module had failed. The Module was replaced and reprogrammed. After the repair was completed it was brought to my attention that there was a recall issued on "some" 2022 Equinox 's but not all 2022 Equinox 's. My VIN was not included in the recall but suffered the same failure as the recalled units. No warning lights or symptoms prior to the failure. This continues to be a safety issue because without warning the vehicles just stop running. The Equinox had 45,939 miles on the odometer at the time of the failure. This in a know safety issue and GM should have included all 2022 Equinox 's or at least a broader range of VINs in the initial recall. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |

| Sep 2025 | FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | We were in our pharmacy drive thru pick up lane when our car suddenly died, and would not restart. No engine light came on prior. We waited three hours for our tow truck in 99 degree weather to take it to the nearest dealership. Had the fuel pump power control module and also the fuel tank fuel pump module replaced. Now back at dealership, as the fuel gauge is being repaired. Our car evidently didn't show up as needing the fuel pump module recalled. $2000 later, I wonder why not? | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |

| Aug 2025 | FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | On August 16, 2025, my 2022 Chevy Equinox experience an engine stall while I was driving with no warning, no prior check engine light. This was very scary for my own safety but more importantly my child’s safety who was in the back seat. Had I not been able to move my car to the side of the road or had we been on one of Atlanta’s major interstates this could have been a fatal accident for the both of us. I immediately took my car to the dealership where I purchased this car brand new off the truck and have had it serviced ever since. Not only did I take it, I took it there with a recall notice (N222372310) for 21-22 Chevy Equinox experience engine stalls due to a faulty fuel pump module. The dealership informed me that this recall “did not apply” to my VIN. And I had to place it under my warranty and pay my $200 deductible for them to diagnose that in fact my fuel pump module was bad and needed to be replaced, nothing else. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Aug 2025 | ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | I was driving on the highway at a fast speed 75+ miles per hour. I was in the left lane. My car turned off and there was no acceleration. It was not getting fuel. I was able to make it to the right lane and merge off the highway before it stopped moving by momentum alone. Cars had to slow down and go around me almost causing an accident. It is not okay to let people drive around in an unsafe manner when, now I found that this is a common problem. Having an accident on I-95 is no joke. It could have cost me my life. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |

| Jul 2025 | POWER TRAIN,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | While driving my 2022 Chevrolet Equinox, the car suddenly stalled on a city road. This occurred in a busy area with multiple stops and traffic signals. I was accelerating after a stop when the engine cut off abruptly, without any prior warning lights or error messages. I was able to coast to a safe stop, but the incident was frightening and dangerous. The vehicle was towed to a dealership and inspected. They diagnosed the issue as a failure of the Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM). The part was not covered under my powertrain warranty despite being essential to the operation of the vehicle. The dealer confirmed this failure and replaced the part. The total repair cost was $592. When I attempted to check my eligibility for the NHTSA Campaign Number 23V013000 (regarding a fuel pump defect that may cause stalling for same 2022 Chevrolet Equinox), my VIN was reported as not currently eligible, even though the issue I experienced matches the recall description. The vehicle has since been repaired and has been operating fine, while I didn’t experience any stalling, I’ve noticed the gear shifts more closely now — they feel very quick or more noticeable than before, but no warning lights have appeared. I am filing this complaint to formally document the safety issue I experienced and to request a review of my VIN in light of the recall. A sudden stall on a city road puts drivers and passengers at significant risk, and I believe this is a serious safety concern that should be investigated. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |

| Apr 2025 | FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | At a stop sign while waiting for passing traffic, the car shuddered and the engined died. Attempts to restart the car failed. The car had roughly 1/4 tank of gas. Towed to a mechanic who put 2 gallons of gas in it and started the engine. Two days leading up to this, with the instrument panel on the screen that shows estimated distance remaining and fuel economy, I observed the fuel economy number changing wildly as I drove, going up to 99 mpg every time I let off the gas and coasted to a stop. Seems to be an electronic component for fuel has failed. When the car had died, the engine light came on. It was off after adding more fuel and restarting the car. NHTSA website says there are 0 outstanding recall repairs for this VIN. So if the faulty fuel pump was replaced under NHTSA Campaign 23V013000, it has failed again. NHTSA website does not show any date/location of said prior recall repairs, so I have doubts whether it was ever actually repaired. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |

| Apr 2025 | POWER TRAIN | Winter of 2023/early 2024- during very cold period, I was on the freeway where it is 70 mph, and received a warning of a power train underboost- car said low power mode. It was caused by water accumulating and freezing. According to the Cheverolet bulletin, it was a known issue and I had the car serviced with the wrap put on it required. This was a scary event because I was on the highway and could not go the speed limit and had to exit. Fast forward to this past winter: early 2025- very cold period. Again had a low power mode when I was accelerating to get on the freeway from the ramp, suddenly could not get to speed and was passed on the on-ramp- exceedingly scary and unsafe, had to drive with hazards on and exit next exit. It was an overboost error that caused it. Again, water froze in the valve. new fix is to put a "bra" on the lower part of the grill when it is below freezing and take it off when it is not freezing out. Ridiculous fix with 20 clips and it is a true safety issue. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Mar 2025 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER | I had purchased a brand new 2022 chevy equinox from a local dealer in July 2022. Since then, my car had to be towed twice for the infamous shift to park issue. Both times, I was left without a car for over a week. When the shift to park issue happens, the car cannot be turned off. Both times this issue happened, the dealership had to unplug the battery because they could not get the car to shut off. Both times, the dealerships refused to fix the problem despite the car being under warranty. This most recently happened on [XXX]. The car was towed to the Courtesy Chevy Dealership in San Diego. There were two service representatives looking at the car when I dropped it off. They both could not figure how to get the car to turn off, so they proceeded to remove the battery. After a long wait of many days (despite the dealership promising to have an answer in 2 days), they told me they could not find anything wrong with the car. I was told since they could not replicate the issue, they could not do anything about it. This is a big problem for a few reasons: 1.) This shift to park issue is very well known for GM models. There were even multiple service bulletins instructing GM dealerships on how to fix the issue. I brought this up with the service team and the representative noted that this fix was probably what the car needed, but could not be done because the problem was not replicated in the dealership. 2.) The shift to park issue cannot be manually replicated. The service team is aware of this, but kept using this excuse. The two service representatives saw the issue themselves when the car was towed to their location. 3.) The service team said they could not run any diagnostics on the check engine light because the battery was disconnected, which was done by the staff at the service center. 4.) The car is <3 years old with <20k miles. This should be covered under the warranty. 5.) I have been stranded twice and it will happen again as Chevy won't fix it.
