Chevrolet Equinox stalling problems

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)

The vehicle intermittently loses motive power. After stopping, the engine revs when I press the accelerator, but the vehicle does not move. It only moves again after I turn the vehicle off and restart it. No warning lights appear when this happens. This defect could leave me stranded in traffic or unable to clear an intersection, creating a serious safety risk. Auto Plus identified a transmission problem and told me that a transmission bolt is missing. I previously reported the stalling and loss-of-power issue to General Motors, but I was told that nothing was wrong. My VIN is not included in the applicable transmission recall\. Please document and investigate this complaint to determine whether the loss of motive power, transmission problem, and missing bolt may represent a known or safety-related defect. Please also review whether other vehicles may be experiencing similar problems and whether additional safety action is necessary.

The piston rings or something in the engine is wrong as to where there is massive oil consumption. When this is happening and my car gets empty quickly it is stalling while I am driving and it's hard to get acceleration which is dangerous when I'm on the road in one of the biggest cities in my state.

Vehicle Safety Complaint — 2023 Chevrolet Equinox LT I am reporting a potentially dangerous safety defect involving my 2023 Chevrolet Equinox LT equipped with the 1.5-liter turbocharged engine. While operating my vehicle on a public roadway, it suddenly lost power and stopped functioning without advance warning, creating a dangerous situation for myself and other motorists. The vehicle had to be towed to an authorized Chevrolet dealership. I received no prior recall notification, and my VIN did not indicate an applicable recall. The dealership informed me that the fuel pump recall applied only to 2.5-liter engines. I am concerned because General Motors has published fuel pump control module recall campaign N262558690 and technical service bulletin 24-NA-139, both of which list the 2023 Chevrolet Equinox. The service bulletin specifically describes engine stalling and loss of power. I request that the federal safety agency investigate whether my vehicle experienced a related defect and whether the affected vehicle population should be reviewed. I can provide the dealership’s diagnostic findings, repair records, towing documentation and any additional information requested. Also too. Since OnStar equipment in radio and car did a remote update this summer this failed other components and softwares believe it killed my battery i had to replace, everything electronic since then have going downhill. I experienced this recall last produced, Chevrolet lied to me, my car has been fixed for now but my vin should be entered in database. Chevrolet is telling people its 2.5 motors when clearly it states my make and model it happened and they dont make 2.5 motors for equinox class. This dealer is scammish or Chevrolet is hiding potential recalls. Im just waiting for another electronic to fail and another false answer. We will see? My situations are real and pose saftey concerns. There is a report police filed cause they towed it.

The fuel injector module had to be replaced. My car stall while driving and I was stuck at work for over 2 hours waiting to be towed home. I work 40 min from where I live, so there was no getting back home without a tow. The car would not start because it was showing that I had no gas, when in fact I had a half a tank. Had to pay $264.50 for my car to be towed home from work. I would like to be reimbursed for something that happened from the factory. I am attaching the receipt.
