About 4-6 months ago, my car started to jolt every now and again, while driving it, but it never shut off. Last week, when I was backing out of a parking spot, the car died when I shifted it into drive to leave. It took a while to turn back on, but did start up again. On my way home, it shut off again while in motion. Once I got home, the check engine light popped on and I did not drive it again until the next day. I went to wash it, as I do weekly, and fill up the gas tank. The check engine light turned off. The next morning, I was driving to work and the car cut off again while in motion. Once I was able to get it restarted, I drove it to the closest mechanic immediately. They attempted to look at the car and diagnose it for the greater part of the day. The machine was reading a cam shaft issue; however, when they inspected it, there was no issue with it. The mechanic stated that he has seen this issue with the Chevy Equinox several times and that changing the intake/outtake valves gives a temporary resolve; however, the problem typically comes down to the engine/motor having to be replaced, which is approximately a $6000 repair bill, or take a complete loss on the car., because metal shards and other things get trapped in the engine/motor that can't be removed. They did replace the valves, which cost me $400+, told me to keep doing what I do, in terms of keeping maintenance up, and hope that something is done before the engine/motor needs replacing. I am responsible for my transportation and that of my two children (ages 1 & 11). I cannot have my car stop, in the middle of me driving it, and have that result in a fatal loss of me and/or my children. A simple internet search shows that multiple years of this make/model car have the same issue and it is alarming that no recall is in place. The consumer is being left to cover the cost of safety in faulty vehicles.

I parked my car on Monday night and heard a rattling noise and the engine sounded like it was knocking. I turned it on and off and it started again. The next day I get in to take my two young children to school and the car wouldn't start. I called the dealer and had the car towed and the dealer tells me that I need a new engine. The vehicle has 58,352 miles so it as far I know it should be covered under the power train warranty as I have less that 100,000 miles and its only 3 yrs old since I bought it brand new. Well GM will not cover the motor because I didn't take it to the dealer to have oil changes done. Since they have no record of the oil changes despite that fact that I did them every 3000 miles as recommended they will not give me a new motor yet I still have to pay $510 a month for a car that I can no longer drive. Gray Chevrolet is the dealer the car is at and they are the worst. GM doesn't honor their warranties and should be put out of business. I will never ever buy a GM vehicle ever again. Why was there no lights on the dashboard prior" how do I need a motor over night when I had no problems previously? why is that GM will not honor their warranty or at least send someone to the dealer to investigate? why won't GM at least call gray Chevrolet to find out what happened as opposed to reading something to me from a computer screen? why would they not try to assist their customers" im stranded with 2 kids and no one care. Don't ever by any vehicle from GM!!!!!!!!

On two (2) separate occasions my vehicle has stopped dead in the roadway while driving. I lost all power steering, lights, radio etc. I was able to restart the vehicle both times. This could be deadly if I am on a busy road or freeway. I am terrified for my safety, but also for my two year old grandson, family, friends and anyone else who could be involved in an accident if this happens again. My vehicle was leased January 19, 2015. I am way under on my miles (2600) and has been well maintained by me with zero damage anywhere. My vehicle was in the dealership from June 29, 2015 the first time the engine stopped while driving. They kept the vehicle fro 3 days. At that time I was advised by the service department that mine was the third vehicle in the last week with the same complaint. I took it back to the dealership on July 6th after the second time it stopped dead in the roadway. I was called on August 12, 2015 that the vehicle was ready for pick up and that they were unable to duplicate the problem. The dealership has been unable to find the problem. The service dept. States they have driven the vehicle for a mere 58 miles over the last several weeks. The service manager suggests I buy out my lease and just sell it to someone else. Of course this is not an option for me.
