    Fuel/Propulsion System · Unknown Or Other

    While at stop light, vehicle began to jerk. Dealership couldn't repeat issue since it only occurred when engine was cold. Issue persisted and became worse. Vehicle stalled as if it was out of gas. Started again after a few minutes. Next day started without issue but began to jerk when applying breaks more than usual. Parked and turned off to run into store. Vehicle wouldn't start again. Towed to mechanic.

    My 2015 chevy equinox began stalling and idling low to the point that slowing down or stopping would cause a stalling issue; going in reverse would cause a stalling issue; putting it in park would cause a stalling issue.
