2014 Chevrolet Equinox Cruise Control Problems

I have had several codes pop up on my Equinox, such as P0016, P0017, P0089 and P228D. All of these codes are between the Crankshaft position, variable timing position and high pressure fuel issues. I almost wrecked my SUV because of these 3 factors and I have seen thousands of videos on YouTube with other people having the same issues. This is beyond dangerous to be out on the road driving and these codes pop up causing "Reduce Speed" warnings and "Stabilitrak". This will be the 2nd time I've had to replace the Crankshaft position sensor and Variable Timing Solenoid, along with a brand new timing kit that I had put on right after I bought the car over a year ago, that is now in need of repair. There has to be some way that Chevrolet can fix these issues for those of us who buy their vehicles. They are supposed to be safe, dependable, durable and last longer than what they do before they start having all of these issues. I have had so many problems with the last 2 Equinox's that I have owned and each one of them have all had the same error messages pop up within a year or less of driving them, some have lasted over a year. I as a vehicle owner should not be held responsible for these kinds of issues going on in a vehicle that I still owe for. Chevrolet needs to understand and take care of their customers to prevent accidents from happening, vehicles from breaking down after short periods of time and replace/repair these malfunctions at their cost so that people like me don't keep going out here spending hundreds of dollars for the same fix after a year or 2 replacing, and it sometimes still not even fix the problem. There are so many others out here with the same exact issues that I am having, P0016, P0017, P0089 and 228D codes all dealing with fuel, vehicle speed, Stabilitrak, etc. Something has to be done about this and there has to be a way where they can be fixed for longer than 50,000 miles

My vehicle has all symptoms of the timing chain slipping or being loose. Just as millions of others who owns a chevy equinox with a 2.4 motor. Drives like crap, stalls out unexpectedly, which is very dangerous, exhaust fumes enter cabin of vehicle, toxicity to lungs. Extreme fuel intake consumption, erotic idle issues, extreme oil consumption all these issues have progressively gotten worse. This is very much a safety hazard in more than ONE way! GM needs to be held responsible and FIX THEIR problem selling such faulty and pitiful parts to their customers. After this I will NEVER own a chevy again. HIGHLY disappointed! Fixing a timing chain issue is NOT cheap, nor should it be the responsibility of any chevy equinox owner seeing as how there are so many other people who share the SAME issue, like duh. obviously, this is a manufacturer defect. HOW HAS THIS NOT BEEN RECALLED YET??????? This issue is a safety risk hazard to the customers of this vehicle. Obviously, the timing chains in these 2.4 motors of all years of equinox's are defective and GMC are the ones who need to be held responsible and fix THEIR mistakes, this is ridiculous, how has a recall not happened, there are millions of people with the SAME COMPLAINT???

THE 2014 CHEVY EQUINOX WILL STALL WHEN ACCELERATING. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS FIRST STARTED, THIS COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSEAN ACCIDENT. I HAVE TAKEN MY VEHICLE IN NUMEROUS TIMES AND SPENT OVER 2K ON REPAIRS. CURRENTLY MY VEHICLE DOES NOT HAVE A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON, NO CODES. IT APPEARS THAT EVERYTHING IS OPERATING NORMALLY. IT IS NOT, I WILL NOT LET MY WIFE DRIVE THIS CAR BECAUSE I AM WORRIED THAT SHE COULD BE INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. I RECENTLY FOUND THAT GM HAD IDENTIFIED THAT THIS VEHICLE CONSUMES A LARGE AMOUNT OF OIL AND IT CAUSING ISSUES SIMILAR TO WHAT I AM REPORTING. ONLY ISSUE IS THEY ARE REQUIRING A OIL CONSUMPTION TEST REQUIRING MULTIPLE VISITS TO THE DEALERSHIP OVER AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME. IN THE MEAN TIME I AM GOING TO CONTINUE TO STALL PULLING INTO TRAFFIC, PUTTING MY LIFE AND OTHERS LIFE AT RISK. THERE NEEDS TO BE A MANDATORY RECALL AND CORRECT THIS ISSUE. THE ATTACHED PICTURE SHOWS THE LAST TWO OIL CHANGES AND THE AMOUNT OF OIL RETRIEVED. MY MOST RECENT I HAD LESS THAN 2.5 QUARTS LEFT. THERE IS NO LEAK ON MY VEHICLE, AND I CHANGE MY OIL ABOUT EVERY 5K MILES PER MANUFACTURER SUGGESTIONS.

THERE IS A ABOUT 3 MILES WHERE I USE CRUISE CONTROL WHEN GOING TO STORE . WHEN ENGAGING CRUSIE CONTROL AT AROUND 30 MPH MOTOR WOULD REV. UP , TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT ENGAGE . WENT TO DEALER , THEY SAID WITH OUT CODES THEY COULD NOT DO ANYTHING . NO ENGINE LIGHT BUT DON'T KNOW IF CODES MAY BE THERE , DEALER DID NOT CHECK .

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED INDEPENDENTLY WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE TURNED OFF IN ORDER FOR THE VEHICLE TO DECELERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 73,974.

VEHICLE ENGINE ACCELERATED TO 130 MPH ON SPEEDOMETER WITH ENGINE REVING TO THAT SPEED SOUND . VEHICLE DID NOT ACCELERATE. THIS HAPPENED 4 TIMES ON THE HIGHWAY . I PULLED OFF ROAD ON EACH OCCASION TURNED OF ENGINE AND RESTARTED AS I WAS HUNDREDS OF MILES FROM HOME. HAD CAR TOWED TO CHEVY DEALERSHIP AT DESTINATION. AS THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE ISSUE THEY WILL NOT REPAIR EVEN THOUGH I HAVE A EXTENDED WARRANTY. MY VEHICLE NOW REMAINS IN 5 HRS AWAY. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT NOT KNOWING WHAT IS WRONG. THIS PUTS MYSELF AND OTHER DRIVERS AT RISK ON THE HIGHWAY.

STOPPED WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE WAITING TO PULL OUT ON THE HWY. I HAD BEEN THERE ALREADY ABOUT 1 MINUTE, WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR ACCELERATED WHICH CAUSED ME TO HIT THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME (18 WHEELER). IT WAS AS IF YOUR CAR IS IN PARK AND YOU REV YOUR ENGINE. IT WOULDN'T STOP WITH THE BRAKES. IT SEEMED I HAD NO CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE AND IT TOOK OFF ON ITS OWN. I HAVE SINCE READ OTHERS HAVING SIMILAR EXPERIENCES OF "TAKING OFF" OR GOING FROM 2 RPM TO 4 WITHOUT THEIR FOOT BEING ON THE GAS. I ALSO REQUESTED THE DEALERSHIP TO CHECK FOR ANY REASON THIS MAY HAVE HAPPENED BESIDES FIXING THE DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE.

"TAKATA RECALL" MY 2014 CHEVY EQX ONLY HAS APPROXIMATELY 30,000 MILES ON IT. WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 50MPH THE VEHICLE ACCELERATES ON ITS OWN. THE VEHICLE GOES FROM 2RPM TO 4 RPM WITH MY FOOT OF THE GAS. THIS HAS OCCURRED NUMEROUS TIMES ON DIFFERENT DATES, DIFFERENT SPEEDS.

DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AND RECEIVED THE REDUCED ENGINE POWER MESSAGE WHICH CAUSED THE LOSS OF ACCELERATION POWER. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY 2014 CHEVROLET EQUINOX, PURCHASED APPROXIMATELY 2 1/2 MONTHS AGO BRAND NEW (NOW WITH APPROXIMATELY 2500 MILES). AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN A VERY BUSY ROAD AT 50-55 MPH, SEVERAL WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON - ABS, STABILITRAK WARNING, SERVICE ENGINE - AND THE CAR BEGAN TO LOSE POWER. LUCKILY, I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR OFF THE ROAD. EVENTUALLY, THE LIGHTS WENT OFF AND THE CAR BEGAN TO DRIVE "NORMAL". HOWEVER, HAD THIS OCCURRED ON THE INTERSTATE OR IF I HADN'T BEEN ABLE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD, I FEEL THE SITUATION COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE. *TR
