A few days ago after work i stopped for gas and took a different route home. I live in a city with traffic so i idle a lot. While stopped, my 'service stabilitrak' and 'engine power reduced' came on. There was no where i could go but up the expressway. Once i sped up, the car proceeded to turn off. Luckily i was able to pull over onto the shoulder on top of the expressway. After that, the car wouldn't turn on…

I started having issues after a couple months of buying my vehicle. My rpm would sputter and i would always check my oil and it would be a quart low. This went on for months and i continued to drain money into my vehicle with buying oil. I replaced seals thinking it was a oil leak and it wasn't it. My engine finally was just shot so now i'm out of a car and owe money on it still and don't have the money to repair my…

I was driving to work this morning when i went over train tracks. As soon as i did my "stbilitrak" light came on. All wheel drive turned off as well as abs. My car would no longer accelerate. I tried to break and nearly lost control of the vehicle. I'm upset with my vehicle. I have had so many problems with it. I have always owned a chevy, but i think they quality in work is decreasing. I will be thinking about what…

Shortly after i financed the vehicle it started having issues while idling, if i idle too long it will start to shake and will shut down. I have poured money into fixing the vehicle and spent the last two 3 years trying to fix the original issue of it shutting down. I will lose throttle in the gas pedal and it will just turn off out of nowhere while i'm driving away from my home. It seems to not like when i idle or…

While driving, lights came on displaying "all wheel drive off", "traction control off", and service stabilitrak. Car dropped suddenly (on curve, on busy road) to 10mph. Shaking bad and brakes barely working. Car shakes worse when applying brakes. Dealer will not fix. Says lights are off when they see it so they can't diagnose problem. This same problem has happened several times. Always in cold weather. No ice or…

I own a 2011 chevrolet equinox ls awd with roughly 86,000 miles. While driving back an appointment this morning, the vehicle began to sputter and the "engine reduced power"/"service stabilitrak system" lights turned on. I was on the interstate with morning traffic that was going 70mph (the speed limit) and higher. The vehicle's rpm reduced suddenly and drastically, and i was only able to sustain 40mph. I was alone.…

Ever since i have bought this vehicle it is a lemon. I have all the receipts as well as research that gm needs to recall this vehicle due to safety issues and everyone has the same problem as myself. From the oil consumption and still having problems and even smells like burning causing odor which is very strong, stalling issues where my car has even stopped in the middle of the highway after a new engine was put…

I have had this vehicle since 2016 and have had issues with it since the 7th day of owning it. On day 7, i had the catalytic converter replaced (after they tried to tell me i didn't tighten the gas cap). Then after only owning the vehicle for 4 months, i had to have a whole new engine built (so they say it was) this was after my vehicle turned completely off in the middle of an intersection while driving with my 2…

Had my car fixed for the oil consumption issue and a week later i lost power and the car shut off while driving almost causing an accident with my children in the car. Dealership denied any thing wrong with the car.... After having it towed back to them, they found the throttle body connectors were no good and need a new wiring kit to fix. There needs to be a recall on this because this could cause a serious…

While driving my 2011 equinox the car seems to intermittently misfire, causing the whole car to shake. Some days the car seems to run fine, some days it runs badly. Sometimes the engine light comes on, sometimes the check stabilitrac light comes on. Sometimes the car runs fine and no light comes on. The problem seems to be getting worse and happens more frequently. In the last week the car has started to run for 3-5…
