2009 Chevrolet Equinox Engine Problems

Your engine stalled and shut off completely while you were driving on the road, and the car caught fire. This is an extremely dangerous situation, especially with passengers in the vehicle. The issue may involve fuel system or engine components that need professional inspection and repair to prevent this from happening again.

Your engine's timing chain failed and needs to be replaced. The timing chain synchronizes your engine's internal components, so when it breaks, your engine won't run properly. Replacing the timing chain is a major repair that requires significant engine work.

CAR HESITATED, SLOWED DOWN, THEN LOST POWER. THE WARNING LIGHTS WERE STABILITRACK OFF, TRACTION CONTROL OFF, REDUCED ENGINE POWER. CAR IS NOW WITH THE DEALERSHIP & WAS TOLD THAT THE THROTTLE BODY WILL HAVE TO BE ORDERED AS THIS IS A RARE OCCURRENCE BUT WHEN I LOOKED ON INTERNET, IT SEEMS THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT HAS BEEN REPORTED MANY TIMES. INCIDENT WAS SCARY DUE TO TRAVELING ON HIGHWAY AT 60 MPH AND FOR NO REASON CAR JUST BEGINS TO LOSE POWER. SO NOW I AM WAITING ON THROTTLE BODY TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS NOT A CHEAP FIX FOR THE VEHICLE. SAW ON INTERNET THAT THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS SPECIFIC PROBLEM BUT WHEN I TALKED WITH DEALERSHIP THEY STATE THAT THIS GM RECALL IS ONLY FOR V8 ENGINES NOT FOR THE V6 EQUINOX. GM KNOWS THERE IS A PROBLEM, THEY NEED TO STEP UP TO THE PLATE & COVER THE EQUINOX ALSO. *TR
