Vehicle has 55000 miles and check engine light is on. In scanning the car I was told that p0010 the intake positions actuator circuit and p0013 exhaust camshaft position actuator circuit needed to be serviced to the tune of between 1200.00 and 1500.00 dollars which is normal for these cars I. Think this is bs I have oil changed every 2000 miles or 3 months with castrol dexos 5w30 and lucas oil stabilizer. Sounds like this should be covered by yhe manufacturer.

Front crankshaft seal has a leak that sprays onto serpentine belt causing belt failure and major oil leak. The seal has been replaced and the problem is occurring again. I have gone through 5 belts in less than a year and too much oil to track. Also unknown airbag and stabilitrac warning lights are on and cause cannot be identified.

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.)

First two days of having vehicle with 36k miles and I'm at a red light and the the car just shuts off. All the light were on and the gas needle never moved. I had to cut car off and then turn it back on. At this point it would continue to shut of if I had to come to a complete stop. I googled my issue and was able to get home safely by putting car in neutral every time I had to stop. A chip was replaced. Now I'm almost at 75k miles and the stabilitrak and check engine light comes on simultaneously and sometimes with a loss of power. This has happened to me 5 times in one week. Took to chevy dealer and they have no clue. Waited four hours for them to tell me that they cannot duplicate the problem and all lights are off and to drive until something happens. This occurs if I'm turning or backing out of a parking space. Sometimes even after waiting 15 seconds to restart car, it has trouble turning over. I let sit for another 15 seconds and it's fine with no problems but the check engine remains on but will be off in the morning. Losing power on a congested 6 lane highway would not be good business for chevrolet.

Spudders multiple times when trying to go then dies as soon as I give it gas. Dies multiple times a day but turns right back on. Died trying to cross a highway. Very dangerous.

Car shut off 3 times while idling at a stop light. It appears this is a known issue based on a quick internet search so it seems absurd there wouldn't be an open recall to fix it
