Something wrong with the fueling system, and have a really bad oil leak, and the car burns oil so fast it’s ridiculous. We’re always having to add oil to the car, atleast a qt at a time.
2014 Chevrolet Equinox fuel system complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 36 of 36, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Car consumes oil at an alarming rate. Fuel system is constantly inoperable and needs fixing. Car is not made up to standards of safety
The vehicle will stall whenever stopped at a red light or stop sign and in drive. Have to put it in neutral to keep RPM at normal level, otherwise it will go down to 500 RPM or shut off. Vehicle rattles and shakes when driving. Cleaned the throttle body, replaced o2 sensor, had the engine rebuilt 6 months ago because of a recall. This is highly unsafe, unreliable and absolutely not ok for a car with 87,000 miles. There needs to be a recall because it is obvious from reading through different forums on the internet that a lot of other people have the same exact issue at different mileages.
While driving 52 MPH, suddenly the car started accelerating on it's own, quickly. It did stop when I hit brakes.
No oil in vehicle. No oil light warning. Did not start. Towed to chevy dealer they replaced timing chain and oil loss issue never solved. Was recommended to speak to senior advisors. But all they ever say is that this vehicle had no recalls. When checking different websites I find this is a big issue with equinox's from 2014-2017. Would like to know how they draw the line on what gets recalled and what doesn't. This vehicle falls within the parameters and years that gm had this problem. Can't get any answers from them. I'm very disappointed. Grew up and always had a gm auto. This will be our last.
I was involved in a car accident on november 16, 2020 and neither of my airbags deployed.

The manufacturer was notified of the failure and the contact was informed that there were no recalls on the vehicle. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 25,000.
As I was driving my engine just quit working and my emergency light were nit functioning. I took it to the mechanic and was advised it could be my fuel pump. They mention this specific type of cars are know for these issue. Fuel pump fails causing the vehicle to just stop in the middle of the road.

Car stalls moving from reverse to drive. Car stalls when slowing down at a stop light, or when slowing down to make a turn.
Lose power/shut down in traffic.danger to drive on expressway
The 2014 chevy equinox will stall when accelerating. This happens when the vehicle is first started, this could potentially causean accident. I have taken my vehicle in numerous times and spent over 2k on repairs. Currently my vehicle does not have a check engine light on, no codes. It appears that everything is operating normally. It is not, I will not let my wife drive this car because I am worried that she could be involved in an accident. I recently found that gm had identified that this vehicle consumes a large amount of oil and it causing issues similar to what I am reporting. Only issue is they are requiring a oil consumption test requiring multiple visits to the dealership over an extended period of time. In the mean time I am going to continue to stall pulling into traffic, putting my life and others life at risk. There needs to be a mandatory recall and correct this issue. The attached picture shows the last two oil changes and the amount of oil retrieved. My most recent I had less than 2.5 quarts left. There is no leak on my vehicle, and I change my oil about every 5k miles per manufacturer suggestions.
Chevy equinox 2014 engine died when idling or at a stop. Happened frequently while in slow traffic. Happened when making left turn across two lanes of oncoming traffic. Error code p0010 and p0011. Problem was caused by camshaft actuator solenoid valve.
Takata recall. Engine light is on says its the flex fuel sensor recalls on 2013 models so I believe its an on going problem and believe it still needs to be recalled it also has a rough idle when first started dk if thats caused by the flex fuel but the remote start wont work with engine light on
I have my oil changed regularly and this last time I wasn't into the oil change more then 1000 miles and it started making a noise and stalling out took it in and there was no oil in it so they changed it for me but it continues to stall then my engine light came on had it tested and it doesn't show any issues. The stalling happens when I'm at a stop or just slowing down and also backing up.
A week after an oil change and tire rotation on 6/12/2018 chevrolet equinox, the check engine light came on and my vehicle shuts off automatically at traffic lights and when I'm parking. I took it to autozone for a free diagnostic reading but nothing comes up except a suggestion to change the solenoid. The tech suggested I add stp gas treatment. After the first bottom and driving 200 plus miles out of state, the light went off briefly. I've added 2 more bottles of gas treatment and drove back home but my vehicles is still shutting off and the engine light is back on. I was in baltimore on 7/12, and my vehicle shut off at 3 traffic lights. I was fortunate that the people behind me didn't resend me. I was in nj this weekend and it shut off at multiple traffic lights and stop signs. I'm taking it to autozone tomorrow to get a printout of the diagnostics then taking it to the dealership. However, my fear is they will charge me for work that won't fix the issue. Why hasn't m don't a recall for the 2014 model? This is very dangerous and none of us should get rear ended and hurt for them to formally do a recall.
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
Intermittent vibration felt when engine idling. Then engine would stall when coming to a stop. Happened maybe 6-8 times. Got an oil change (wasn't overdue), and problem stopped.
On jan 13 my check engine light came on I didn't have any problems with the car before this and I went to school when starting the car at 5pm with no problems. I was driving home and it smelled really bad so I stopped the car and oil was leaking out everywhere. I had auto zone pull the codes and when I tried to start it it wouldn't start. The codes p0014, p2280, p0089, p0366, p0017, p0011 all came on. I brought it to the dealer and they had to fix the crankshaft rear oil seal, plugged pcv that cause excess pressure, rxr intake, camshaft position actuator solenoid valve, exhaust manifold was replaced but said the fuel pump didn't go bad from all these issues and told me I need to replace it. I never had a proble with anything tell this day and want to know why that wasn't replaced since it was connected to the engine. Now my car wouldn't start when I turn it over cause of this issue.
Check engine light came on after flushing fluids by dealer, car now stalls at when ideling
When going in reverse, or coming off a red light or stop sign, the vehicle will suddenly stall out. While it starts up right away, this is a safety issue, especially if you have to get out of the way. My vehicle has done this about 4-6 times over the past year. Chevy says there is nothing wrong, and there are no warning lights on the vehicle. All the electrical components work, however the vehicle just turns off.
The fuel system doesn't accurately reflect the amount of gas in this vehicle. It says is has a full tank when it is almost empty. This is dangerous because owners do not know when the car is running low on gas. Running out gas on highways or in the mountains can be a deadly result.
May 2016, had issue with my 2014 equinox involving the accelerometer pedal & sensor due to faulty wiring. My vehicle was just less than 2 years old with 62k miles at the time. We were driving down the highway, when the malfunction occurred and sent the vehicle into reduced engine power mode. When this happened the vehicle started to quickly lose speed down as it happened just prior to going up a hill. Had to try and get vehicle off to shoulder of highway, acceleration pedal was completely inoperable during this time. Call was placed to gm regarding this issue and my concerns that it could have lead to a crash, injury or worse. Gm had no interest in covering this problem under any warranty and did not seem concerned at all with the issue or my concerns that the problem could have lead to a crash, injury or worse. In the end I was left with a $475 repair charge to replace an $80 part by the gm dealership.
On 275 in tampa going 75 MPH suddenly the dash reads loss of power as you feel the car drastically slow to a crawl , me shouting to my stunned husband "pull over pull over" thank god we were in the left lane as that's where the breakdown lane was. We pulled over the car coasted and died. We barely missed getting rear ended by a semi. After two days the repair was done and stated as "ECM shorted" found ECM shorted internally off pin 73 1 shorted out under hood fuse block..this is a 2014 chevy equinox with17k miles.
Driving on the interstate and received the reduced engine power message which caused the loss of acceleration power.
When turning the steering wheel left or right at low speed or stopped, groaning or rubbing noise is emitted from front tires. Car is 1 month old, has approx. 5000 miles on it now and problem still continues after 2 attempts for dealer to repair it. During fill ups, the gas pump would click/stop and fuel would splash back out of tank and down side of car. This happened whether you set the automatic fill up switch on the fuel pump, or if manually filling the car myself. 2 complaints later, the whole gas tank had to be replaced. 2 days in a row, on 2 separate occasions, the smell of burning plastic and/or electrical wires has been noticed inside vehicle, and is more defined when outside of vehicle and smelling engine area.
