I was driving my equinox out of a parking lot and it stalled, I restarted it, drove it up the road and was going about 30 MPH and it stalled again, I turned around back to the parking lot and it happened 2 more times. I have also be getting very poor gas mileage (15-18mph). The car was towed to the dealer and they said they reset the electrical control module because it had errors on it. This has thus far resolved the car from stalling but has not improved the gas mileage.
2011 Chevrolet Equinox fuel system complaints
Page 4 of 4: complaints 71 to 75 of 75, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Purchased 2011 equinox with 4-cyl engine specifically for the listed 32/23 mpg. I drive 30 miles per day back and forth to work, figured I would get around 24-25 mpg for in city highway driving. Instead, I have gotten no better than 21 mpg and usually less. I then drove from kansas city to oklahoma city for work, used cruise control most of time. However, it was windy so I figured it wouldn't quite be at 32. However, I was very surprised to only get 22-23 mpg for highway mileage. Very disappointing. The first time I contacted dealer (around 1,800 miles on odometer) service rep explained that the poor gas mileage was due to the change from winter blend gasoline to warm weather gas. As the poor mpg continued, around 3,000 miles I took car to dealer to have oil changed and at that time mentioned poor mpg. The service rep (different rep than previously) told me that the equinox had a 5,000 mile break-in period when it computes how the car is driven and adjusts for the driver's habits (how would that work if multiple people were driving the vehicle?). Any ways, I complained but was told it would get better. Now at 5,500 miles and still getting no better than 19-21 mpg. It should be noted that I generally run in "eco" mode. I have always been a chevy driver and will continue to be, but I will certainly research the cars better next time because I have noticed a lot of complaints about this same problem on several social type websites.
2011 chevrolet equinox. Consumer writes in regards to defective vehicle operation and safety *tgw the consumer stated the vehicle was returned to the dealer three times, due to it running rough, loss of power, an overwhelming smell of gasoline, a sticky accelerator pedal and the check engine light illuminating. The dealer replaced the high pressure fuel pump, fuel rail pressure sensor and an attempted repair of the PCM and the reprogramming of the tac. The dealer has been unable to resolve the defects.
My wife took our 2007 tahoe in to trade it for something that got better gas mileage. She went to liberty chevrolet in villa rica ga. She was looking at the chevy equinox. After talking with the sales person melissa bell who assured my wife the equinox would get better than 30 mpg. And if it didn?t get the mileage it could be fixed. Well after multiple trips to three dealerships it is very obvious that [xxx] was lying through her teeth just trying to sell the car. After 5000 miles we still only get around 22mpg highway. I called the chevrolet complaint line just to be told that mpg was under best driving conditions in other word they were going to do nothing to fix the problem even though the sales person lied to my wife right in front of my sister. I will tell you this I have bought my last chevrolet. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
