Check Engine Light On problem of the 2019 Chevrolet Equinox 1
The turbo cooler tube pops off when you accelerate. This causes the check engine light to come on and the vehicle to go into engine reduce power mode. Vehicle max speed will then be set to 45 - 55 miles an hour. I was able to push the tube back into place, it ran fine for another 100 miles than popped off again. I called my dealership and talked with the service person and he new exactly what I was talking about. He said there is a clamp service kit to fix. I asked him if there was a recall on this he said no it doesn't happen very often but they are aware of the issue.

Check Engine Light On problem of the 2019 Chevrolet Equinox 5
After leaving the dealership to have them put on the plate, the check engine light came on. I drove it to a secure location so I could get someone to follow me back to the dealership for service. The car did not have full power. When I went to pull out of the secure location , I took my foot off the brake and the car stopped. I decided to have the car towed, the car had only 45 miles on it. I picked up the car from service, they reported that they removed and inspected the intake duct seal and retaining clip. Installed duct to throttle body and check duct locks into place, intake duct is secure. As I was driving home, the same thing happened again. The car was towed again, the car has 60 miles on it. I am waiting for a response from the dealer. Both times the rate of speed was around 45 - 50 mph.
Check Engine Light On problem of the 2019 Chevrolet Equinox 6
The turbo cooler tube pops off when you accelerate. This causes the check engine light to come on and the vehicle to go into engine reduce power mode. Vehicle max speed will then be set to 55 miles an hour. Engine and engine compartment gets hot due to no proper cooling. I went to chevy dealer and they stated this is starting to become a known issue with no fix. Chevy snapped the tube back into place, but it popped off again. Dangerous when on highway and speed immediately reduces to 55 mph and also very bad on overheating the engine.

Check Engine Light On problem of the 2012 Chevrolet Equinox 7
Frequent stalling when starting from a stop including at red lights and stop signs. Also trips check engine light. Have taken it in for service several times. Checked throttle body, cam sensor, other sensor, solenoids, changed oil twice, checked for recalls or service bulletins, all work done by mechanics at goodyear, they tried and tried and finally gave up after saying it was a real safety issue and they had no idea how to fix it. The dealer's position is that there is no problem, but obviously there is. The check engine light codes have been reviewed and every possible cause seems to have been explored. There are quite a number of similar complaints about stalling for the Equinox if doing a web search. Has recurred over several weeks, goodyear service typically fixes it for less than 50 miles.

Check Engine Light On problem of the 2011 Chevrolet Equinox 8
On March 24 my check engine light came and the vehicle died several times and I took it to the mechanic. He called the next day and said the oil was completely gone and the engine was ruined. I have changed the oil every 3-4000 miles religiously and now this? I was told it would cost $6000 to replace the motor.

Check Engine Light On problem of the 2011 Chevrolet Equinox 9
My vehicle randomly dies while driving. At 94500 ck engine light came on. Had one solenoid replaced and changed the oil. A week later the engine stalled a few times in a parking lot. No check engine light was on. Replaced a 2nd solenoid. 3/5/19, a week little over a week it stalled 5 times in a parking lot. Pd again to have mechanic scan it nothing showed up. 3/7/19 changed the spark plugs. 3/9/19 drove to milwaukee. Got there check engine light came on,stabil trek light & engine power reduced notification. An hour later seemed fine. On the way home all the same lights came on in rolling traffic had to pull off bc it died a couple of times. Let it sit a bit then started home again. After about 5 miles going 60mph on the interstate in a snow/rain storm the vehicle died, while driving it. I barely got it to the shoulder of the interstate. A state trooper had to sit behind for safety. Bc of the storm the tow truck was 90 minutes out. This was a life threatening situation. I could have been hit & killed. Hauled to a mechanic 50 miles away. Code reader (attached) showed 5 errors but couldn't find anything wrong that caused the problem. Took it to a certified gm dealership. The mechanic couldn't replicate the issue so doesn't know what it wrong. Had the timing chain replaced but mechanic didn't think that was the issue. I am afraid to drive it because it could randomly die again in heavier traffic on the interstate and to me is life threatening. There are so so many people commenting online with the same problem that this vehicle should be recalled before people do die if it hasn't happened already. I have only owned this vehicle 5 months and have had it to the mechanic at least 5 times. I don't want to unload this death trap on someone else but I am afraid to drive it for fear of losing my life or someone else's.
Check Engine Light On problem of the 2011 Chevrolet Equinox 10
I got a check engine light and I went to get it tested and it says that it is a exhaust position timing issue. No mechanic can fix it because it was a design issue by the manufacturer. I noticed that the car has been jerking around when I drive, it won't back up and it backfires and I'm terrified of driving it.
Check Engine Light On problem of the 2014 Chevrolet Equinox 11
Purchased my pre-driven SUV 88 days ago. After pumping gas, I attempted to start my car & it wouldn�t start. I turned off the radio, tried again because it was cold out it started but simultaneously the �check engine light� canmr on. While idling at a traffic light less than a min later, it cut-off again! another car was right behind me. I turned on my flashers & started up again. When attempting to pulling out of the parking lot at my next stop, it cut-off again! I restarted my car, kept my flashers on and prayed while driving down the street trying to arrive home to beat the expected �icestorm� I called the service dept but they were closed but would call back. The next morning I had my car towed back to the dealer - 13 miles away. The service dept. Has had had my car for more than 2 days & couldn�t identify the problem. They eventually said the error code was p0010. The part needed was: cam shaft position acuator. The extended warranty that the dealer suggested & I paid for, refused to cover parts, labor or rental reimbursement even after arguing with the service mgr. Judging by the comments/complaints this is a serious problem with the Equinox, I�m not the only one. I am a widow, on disability & need a reliable vehicle but this defect has placed me in a very serious situation. I could have been rear-ended or much worse seriously injured. This is dangerous! this needs to be recalled and remedied once-and-for-all. I had no prior knowledge or I wouldn�t have purchased this car! ( I was asked to verify the type of gas - regular unleaded not diesel & I have my receipt of purchase. ).

While driving on 1-30-19, my Equinox started rattling and the check engine light came on. I check the oil and it was almost empty. There was oil dripping from the main rear oil seal so I had the vehicle towed to an auto mechanic. After he inspected the vehicle he explained that I blew out the rear main seal due to a plugged pvc valve and there was a service bulletin for this problem, (14882). I contacted a local dealer an he said my VIN was not listed under this bulletin. However they were unable to answer what criteria was needed to be covered under this service bulletin.

Takata recall. While driving in cold weather on a highway, my car's check engine light came on. After getting off the freeway, it start to lurch when stopped at a light.

Check Engine Light On problem of the 2010 Chevrolet Equinox 15
'takata recall' so for the last month or so I've been driving and or just at a stoplight or a stop sign and my car would go in a power mode and I can't get out of 10 miles per hour its saying something about tract system and my check engine light comes on I would have to pull over and turn the car off for a couple minutes for it to get out of that mode but sometimes it don't even do it. It can do it 10 times the time that I'm driving it's very unsafe and as I'm reading all of these complaints everyone or a lot of people is having this issue it's very scary and I'm still paying on this car I only had it for just about two years right now I would please like to find out what's going on with my car before I have to pay a lot of money to get it fixed when we don't know what's wrong with it.

Check Engine Light On problem of the 2012 Chevrolet Equinox 16
Had to have both converters replaced and they replaced the upstream O2 sensor as well. November 13, 2018 the car would barely pull a hill, and would act like it was going to cut off. We replaced the downstream O2 sensor which took care of the check engine light, and then we did an oil change on November 17, 2018. We have kept up with all the maintenance as recommended with dexos oil. The car is still acting very sluggish and lurches or revs to a higher rpm while driving at times. After the oil change to December 15th, I had put an additional gallon and a half of oil in the car besides what was put in during the oil change. On December 15th, went to check the oil and noticed a slimy yellowish white substance in the oil cap of the car. Advised me to clean the cap out real good and dry it out. Do an oil change to make sure the oil looked fine and was not cloudy. We also checked the antifreeze to make sure there was no oil present. We did another oil change and did everything our dealership told us to do, found the oil looked fine, but smelled of gas. That is when we started looking online and found the other complaints. Right now don�t have the thousands of extra funds to send it to the shop or replace the engine, but from other complaints that looks like what is going to have to happen. Saturday spoke with a tech at a Chevrolet dealership and he said it is a known issue with my car, and that gm sent out a bulletin in 2017 but that my car would not be covered as it is over the 140,000 miles limit since my car is currently 165,000 miles on it. We are currently checking the oil every 2-3 days and putting oil in as needed, as this week along we have added almost 2 quarts of oils and have went less than 200 miles. I refuse to drive it on the highway as I'm afraid that something is going to happen and I'm going to be in an accident, so I take all back roads.

I have a 2012 chevy Equinox with under 76,000 miles on it tell me it need a new timing chain. The cramshaft position has issues. I turned the car on one day to go to work and the check engine light can on I�m being told that�s the issue. I�m not understanding how a car 6 years old needs engine work to this extent!?.
Check Engine Light On problem of the 2015 Chevrolet Equinox 18
Engine stalled several times while driving and just shut off while driving and the check engine light came on. Took the vehicle to have codes checked it showed camshaft position sensor, so had that replaced and the vehicle continued to shut off while driving after that was replaced and the check engine light appeared on again. Took the vehicle to Chevrolet dealership to be told that the camshaft position actuator needed to be replaced which cost me about $350. 00. This seems to be a common problem with the chevy Equinox's and they need to be recalled for it because it is very dangerous to be driving and your vehicle just stops while driving down the highway.

My vehivle has been shutting off randomly. I came to a stop at an intersection today and I hit the gas because my light turned green and my vehicle just shut off, right in the middle of the intersection. I had cars behind me. The light is turning red, so I have the opposite lanes traffic getting ready to go, and there I was stuck in the middle. Luckilyi was able to get it started again and get out of the oncoming traffics way. My vehicle has been randomly doing this for about 2 weeks now and my check engine light finally came on yesterday. I had it checked and codes p0010 and p0011 came up. After doing some research, I came across other people who are having the exact same issue. A lot of people! how has this not been recalled? esoecially when it puts the driver and any passengers in harms way. I have my kids afraid to ride in the car because they are afraid the car will shut down and we will get into an accident. And they have every right to be because what they are afraid of could have happened to me today.

Car stalls and jerks really hard under light acceleration, the check engine light comes on and stays on when it happens, had it checked and it shows bad camshaft sensor, but it has been replaced and still have the same issue, this is all after they fixed my engine from using too much oil. It starts fine and idles fine but stalls and jerks under acceleration, but it doesn't always do this, it mainly happens when you drive a few miles stop at the store then go back out and start it up. Which it still starts just fine, then when you go to take off it does the stall/jerk when you try to accelerate. I'm not the only one with this vehicle and issue and something needs to be done.

When driving to work today, I was in the middle of parking my car. The car cut off before I could completely park. It started right back up then cut back off. I took my chances and drove it to the nearest dealership. Every time I came to a complete stop the car would cut off I. E red lights, stop signs, heavy traffic. Which became extremely dangerous. I dropped my car off at the dealership and I noticed that there were several vechicals that were the same model / make as mines waiting to be serviced. Also serveral of my relatives who has the same car as mine has told me that they are experiencing the same issue. The dealerships all across town are out of loaner cars and can�t get to mine until next week. 3 people I know took their vehicle to be serviced and each were told they needed a tune up. After receiving the tune up the problem still remained. All of our check engine lights are on.
Check Engine Light On problem of the 2014 Chevrolet Equinox 23
Purchased vehicle in August of 2018 and about a month later car began to feel different while driving. Problem began when I would come to a complete stop and car would jump when accelerating. Then while going in reverse car would shut off without warning. I had no check engine light on at this point. No check engine light until about March 2018. The with accelerating went from a �juml�, to car stalling and having to be restarted. Began as an every now and then problem to having to be put in the shop because it would stall almost every time I would stop. When it stalled in a major highway with my children in the car was my final point of frustration. It is now April 2019 and is currently being diagnosed. Have had a few different opinions on what the problem could be, but no fix yet. All are costly! after reading reviews this seems to be a problem with 2014 Chevrolet Equinox and should have been recalled!.

The check engine light turned on at around 135,000 miles. Following that, the vehicle began losing power, the rpms started to randomly spike up, and it began consuming a lot of oil. When idling or coming to a top the vehicle will turn off or begin shaking really bad and then turn off. I have contacted the chevy dealer and there is nothing they will do about it.
