Car sputtered and stalled when starting for work, but then started, I kept it running while I dropped my daughter off at school and went to work. Car sputtered and would not start, leaving me stuck at work. After attempting to start a few times, my check engine light came on. Then received an email saying my car had a critical safety issue from OnStar. Had to wait over an hour for a tow to the Chevy Dealer. Waited another 6 days for it to be looked at. It was a faulty fuel pump modulator, which was recalled for some VINs but not mine. If it stalled while I was driving, it would've caused a wreck.

We approved the repairs and then approached GM for reimbursement after discovering that this same part was recalled by GM Ref # N252516900 which covered the make, model and year of our vehicle. We contacted GM customer relations and after speaking with them multiple times they approved a partial adjustment on the bill for approximately $150. I explained that according to their campaign notice and ongoing issues with this component we wanted a full refund and would not accept a partial payment of 1/3 our cost. GM refuses to stand behind their product even though our vehicle only has 27,500 miles. I spoke with the service manager at the dealership, and he suggested I contact GM customer service and they should resolve the problem since this was an ongoing issue.

Car started fine, pulled it out of the garage, shut it off, went out to start it up two hours later, it started after cranking a bit but stalled, started for a quick second again but stalled again right away, just kept cranking as I tried it, the check engine light on, I put a code reader on and code told me it was the code for fuel pump module, my vehicle is a 2022 equinox and only has a little over 9300 miles on it. Definitely not something that should’ve happened with that low of miles but yet somehow my VIN was not included in a 2023 recall, I was told it wasn’t anyways!

While driving on the freeway at approximately 75 MPH my 2022 Chevrolet Equinox lost power, the engine stalled, and I was forced to pull over into a construction zone. The engine would not restart and the check engine indicator was on. OnStar messaged me via email that a fault P129F was detected. I had the vehicle towed to my home where I performed some additional diagnostics and determined that while similar to Product Safety Recall N222372310 Inadequate Fuel Pump Flow, the issue was not with the fuel pump but with the fuel pump controller module mounted under the vehicle. I replace the module with an official GM replacement module part number 13554821 which resolved the issue with the fuel system in my vehicle. I still have the faulty fuel pump controller module in my possession (see attached picture).
