| Nov 2023 | FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | While driving on a four lane highway during rush hour my gas peddle stopped working. I drifted to the side of the road, with cars blowing their horns at me. My car was like frozen! AAA came after 45 mins to tow me to the dealership. We were told, Yup its the fuel pump, we currently have 3 other vehicles with the same problem. It's probably going to take at least a week to fix. No, they do not provide loaner car. Update: Dealership informed us that there's no time limit insight to fix our vehicle. The fuel pump is on back order and there are thousands of cars countrywide awaiting for the part. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |

Called dealership and said to have it towed in. 2 days later dealer called and said it was ready and it was a fuel module issue. When picking the car up the service guy said they reprogrammed it. Asked if I had to sign anything and he replied no, so no paperwork was given. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Sep 2023 | FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | Was approaching intersection for a left hand turn and just before getting to red light engine stalled. Tried at least 6 times to restart but would not. Was 2nd in line at a major intersection so after no luck restarting I called for road side assistance. The police came to direct traffic and then decided best to push me to the gas station next to intersection. While waiting for tow truck I tried starting vehicle about a half hour later and it started. After sitting there waiting for tow it stalled again and would not start. About an hour later tow truck came and at that time it restarted for him to load on to tow truck. The car is waiting for service but its the weekend and will need to wait for Dealership to call when ready. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |

The car position was half in the parking space and half way in traffic. Then the car locked up with lights appeared on the dashboard, engine light comes on, ESC and car with wiggly lines. The car would not move forward, reversed, nor could I cut off the engine. Was afraid to take foot off brakes since the car would not cut off engine.

| Aug 2023 | POWER TRAIN,ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | While diving down a busy highway, the vehicle's check engine light came on with no notice and my daughter lost acceleration and then the vehicle "died" while driving on this busy highway. The steering locked up. She had a hard time getting it to the side of the road. It was a very dangerous situation. If this would have happened a couple days later while driving on the interstate, it could have been deadly and caused a major accident. The vehicle would not start back up and had to be towed. It's already had a fuel pump issue when we first bought it and had that replaced. Now, it's back in the shop and who knows for how long. I bought my daugheter a new vehicle so that we wouldn't have to worry about her being on the side of the road and now I do NOT trust this vehicle as I am seeing this is an ongoing issue with this vehicle. Again, we are lucky that this did not cause and accident and injury or death to others....... | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |

No roads, except ferry (Alaska Marine Highway) but they won’t take – no running cars. I shipped to AML via AK Marine Line (barge) and pre-paid charches – finally fixed. 2 ½-3 months later and shpped back via AML barge. Now Chevy says they will not pay shipping up and back. I’m just out all I have paid for. Chevy says won’t pay as no recall issued – but failed to tell me how to get car back and forth to dealership without paying for it myself. We were without car for 3 months! We are retired, only have 1 car and it would not run. Need someone to help me! Call me to get rest of information. I’m not sure if this is something you can assist with. We would greatly appreciate your guidance either way." VIN# listed in letter was not found. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |

| Mar 2023 | LANE DEPARTURE,BACK OVER PREVENTION | I purchased this vehicle in November 2022, with the understanding that it was not equipped with lane change alert with side blind zone alert and rear cross traffic alert, but the car would be retrofitted as soon as parts were available and that should be in a short time frame. To date I have not heard from GM or Koons of White Marsh on this retrofit, so I started asking questions. I also visited the sales lot at our dealership Koons of White Marsh and found that these safety features are installed on all 2023 Equinox models - so clearly the parts are available. Koons of White Marsh is saying now that they do not know when or if these safety features will be installed. I wrote a letter to GM's CEO and received two calls from the Executive Support team. First call - we would have part by Q1 2023; 2nd call said they do not know when or if we will receive the part. This missing part is putting my safety at risk as well as others driving around me as I do not have full alerts to the traffic around me. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Mar 2023 | FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | Fuel Pump Power Control Module failed. My daughter was driving down Carpenter Road in Ypsilanti Michigan when the vehicle stalled and would not start. This is a VERY busy four lane road. The police showed up and helped push her out of the way. Yes, the problem has been confirmed by the dealer. The dealer replaced the part but how do I know that the part is not faulty as well as it appears that there is a potential recall for this vehicle that hasn't been confirmed yet since parts are limited. No warning before the issue happened. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
