2022 Chevrolet Equinox: hesitation when accelerating

Filed Oct 30, 2026 · Fuel system · MD

Hello, I am writing regarding the fuel pump power control module failure in my 2022 Chevrolet Equinox LT. On Thursday, XXX, my husband and I were left stranded at the intersection of [XXX]. While we were sitting at the intersection, my Equinox began to hesitate and then stopped completely. Although we could restart the vehicle, it would immediately shut off again. We had our emergency flashers on, but vehicles behind us continued honking whenever the light turned green. Being stranded in the middle of a busy highway was both humiliating and frightening. VIN: [XXX] After waiting approximately 1½ hours, a tow truck arrived and towed our vehicle to [XXX]. I was subsequently required to pay for both a new fuel pump control module and a new fuel pump. The total cost was $1,237.34. I understand that General Motors issued Safety Recall N222372310 / the federal safety agency Recall 23V013000 involving certain 2021–2022 Chevrolet Equinox vehicles due to a fuel pump module that may not consistently supply sufficient fuel, potentially causing the engine to stall. I contacted two Chevrolet dealerships—one in [XXX] and one in [XXX]—and was told by both that this recall does not apply to my vehicle. I want to understand how the affected vehicles are determined and why my Equinox is not included, particularly given that my vehicle experienced a fuel-related failure that resulted in the vehicle stalling while I was idling. My vehicle had only 44,000 miles when this failure occurred. I do not believe a fuel pump module should fail at this mileage, particularly when the failure created a significant safety hazard and left my husband and me stranded in an active roadway. I am requesting that the federal safety agency review my vehicle's VIN, the circumstances surrounding this failure, and the repair records and reimburse me for the $1,237.34 I was required to pay. I look forward to your response and a satisfactory resolution. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

9/15/2023, noticed a hesitation in the acceleration of the vehicle, when attempting to proceed after a full stop. Purchased the vehicle from CARMAX in Las Vegas, 8/25/2023. Recall Sheets were provided, however - I have been "unable to "REGISTER" the vehicle (in my name) to the federal safety agency website. When, "remedy" to the RECALLS are available, ???? How will "I" be "notified" to take the car to a Dealership ???
