2022 CHEVROLET EQUINOX Unknown Or Other Problems

The 1st time my 2022 Equinox broke down was July 1st 2025 approximately 3+ miles from my house turned left at intersection (stop sign) approximately 50 yards. All sudden engine lost power (engine was still running) till it stopped running. (At that time I was thinking it ran out of gas. I know I had plenty of gas). No advance warning. No idiot lights came on, not even the check engine either. I was driving approximately 35-40 mph. No power steering. I got the car off the road about one foot. so, I called a tow truck & I waited approximately 45 minutes. Was towed the nearest GM dealership & that costed $144.00. On July 9 2025 I got my car back. The service manager (person) told me the fuel pump control module shorted out. The 2nd time my 2022 Equinox LT broke down was on August 23 2025 Pulled out of garage than engine started idling rough then it stopped running. I tried to start it again was very hard to start. I drove it approximately 50 feet & the engine stopped running again. I got it to start & back it off the street & in to garage. Waited till 8/25/2025 baby it to Buick/GMC dealership. Too many problems with car. AC stopped working. Told cylinders bad. Needs New engine. Still in the shop as of November 17 2025. I have GMC Customer Service involved in this since July 1 2025. GMC hasn't reimburse me the $144.00 for towing charge.

2022 CHEV EQUINOX STOPPED IN ROAD WHILE DRIVING. MECHANIC RAN CODE 8 MIN AFTER VEHICLE STOPPED. CODE CAME UP P129F FUEL PUMP DRIVER CONTROL. IT WAS TOWED TO BUTLER CHEV. MACON GA. THEY DID DIGNOSTIC AND SAID THIS PART WAS REPLACED FEB 10 2023. WE PURCHASED CAR FROM THIS DEALER NOV. 2023. LEE SERVICE ISLAND REP HAD CAR SEP 22 - 26 MON - THUR AND THEY RAN ANOTHER DIGNOSTIC AND THEY REPLACED FUEL DRIVER BOX MODULE. THE OTHER PART WAS NOT REPLACED. THIS SEEMS TO BE A BIG SAFETY PROBLEM. CAR STOPS WITHOUT NOTICE IN MIDDLE OF ROAD. I WOULD LIKE TO NOTIFY CHEV. THAT MORE INVESTIGATION NEEDS TO BE MADE ON THIS PROBLEM. WE WERE ONLY MINUTES FROM GETTING ON I 75 N IN ATLANTA TRAFFIC AND THE CAR STOPS DEAD STILL IN MIDDLE OF ROAD. WE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. i requested chev. to replace the part that the code read p129F by the mechanic on site 8 min. after the car stopped. he showed it was a recall and that was replaced 2/10/23 at another dealership but they chose not to do so. the part could be defective. we have owned car since 11/2023.

I recently paid 2100 for my engine to be repaired because it was burning too much gas now. It never had a check engine light on now it won’t go off. My car smells like gas and stalls a lot.

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 d

While driving, warning "Service Restraint System" popped up on the speedometer display, followed by "Auto stop" something, then "Reduced Engine Power", and symbols lit up including the Service Engine and traction control symbols. I pulled over, saw what I thought was steam emanating from the passenger side of the hood. I popped the hood intending to investigate and saw flames. 3 firemen and 2 mechanics told me based on my description, the engine was on fire before I even pulled off the road.

Ever so often my check engine will pop on and everything will go haywire. The park assist will cut on and off periodically as well as the automatic high beams and also the infotainment system will connect to my phone and randomly make phone calls at any time. I'm usually alerted of this malfunction when I start the vehicle. Also, the auto stop/start will be active but will continue running when brake is applied. And the final issue is one of the majors, my automatic remote start only works periodically. I'll use this feature from my window which is about 55 ft from my car and the lights will come on but when I get to my car it's not running and everything is off. There is definitely an electrical issue in the vehicle. I have only had the vehicle 3 months and the issue persist more and more frequently. I have informed the dealership and they seem to can't find any issues which is beyond me but they just keep getting worse. I need some sort of help on this matter.

After going very slow, mostly stopped, in stop-and-go traffic for 2 hours, my Chevy Equinox suddenly started to shake and would not respond. The car/engine was on and in Drive but the gas petal would not propel the car forward. My steering wheel locked and I could not turn it in any way. The Engine Light came on and a message came on the dash that said "Push Brake to Start Engine" but pushing the brake did not change anything, and the engine had never turned off. I tried to turn the car off by mashing the brake and pushing the engine stop button but my car would not turn off. I rolled backward into the car behind me as could not go forward and traffic had to be routed around me. About 20 minutes later, I tried to turn my car off and it did cut off completely. About 30 minutes later a police officer was able to turn my car on, put it in neutral, and roll it to the side of the road. The check engine light was still on. My car was towed 200 miles back home and I was able to drive it off the tow truck and into our driveway but the engine light was still on. The next day, the car turned on and the engine light was not on. I did not feel safe to drive it so we had it towed to the Carmax where we purchased it. Carmax towed it to a local chevy dealership and they said it was the fuel nodule. It is currently awaiting those repairs.

I purchased the vehicle new . When I took it in for a factory recall there was damages to the vehicle and dealer blamed me for it. I purchased it brand new. The dealer has gone out of business and GM and the new dealer will not take care of the factory recall since the damages were done by original dealer that sold it. My air conditioner went out as well and they did fix that. But still not able to fix the hidden damages on the vehicle I purchased new. They want to charge me to fix the damages before they fix the factory recall. I would have never know of the damages if there was no factory recall. Please help. I have been getting the run around since February and the lemon law or anyone will help me.

When I would start my car in the morning, it would stall/sputter and make clanking noises. The check engine light came on, and I took it to the dealership for repair. They replaced a fuel injector and then the next day I had the same issue and took it back to the dealership. They replaced another fuel injector and when I got it home and tried to start it a few days later, the same issue persisted. I took it back to the dealership and asked they keep it a few days to test their repairs and they’ve had the car almost 4 months now. They don’t know what the issue is. They’ve brought in engineers from GM and still can’t identify the issue.

Parked car and got out was bumped by car as it shifted to reverse by it self knocked me down and dragged me about 80 feet I let go as I seen it heading for tree it hit the tree stopping and damaging front door which was open. Repaired at local dealer which said they checked it and said they could not find any reason the same thing happened one year ago.talked to another person who said he had same thing happen.no I am afraid to drive it car has only 10000 miles am very afraid for family’s safety was not injured but I very well could have been.

Was in park and the engine off. The car rode backwards with my wife in the car with 1 foot still on the car, and 1 foot on my driveway, the car drove backwards, dragged my wife about 15 feet the door crushed her ribs break five of them, and she has many soft tissue injuries and the left front wheel ran over both of her shins on her legs.

JUST LEFT A TRAFFIC LIGHT WHEN THE SUNROOF EXPLODED. THOUGHT IT WAS A BLOWOUT THE SECOND IT HAPPENED BUT SOON REALIZED IT WAS THE GLASS ABOVE ME.

Got a Smart Start Ignition Interlock installed and my vehicle caught on fire while parked.

After driving an arriving at home, I open the hood to let the heat out. Heat coming from cat. converter. or eng. not sure. It is so hot , I cannot put hand anywhere. My point is, I believe all those rubber hoses are going to wear out fast. Dash temp. gage is below half way. All that heat , battery wear etc.
