2021 Chevrolet Equinox Engine Problems

Your check engine light came on and your engine lost power because the intercooler froze and cracked. Chevrolet had a service update available to prevent this problem, but you weren't notified about it—you only learned about the update after the failure occurred. The repair will likely involve replacing the cracked intercooler and applying the preventive service update.

Your check engine light came on and your car automatically reduced speed. The dealership diagnosed an ice buildup problem in the engine and said this is a design flaw that's common in this model and should be recalled. They estimated the repair would cost around $1,000, which you believe the manufacturer should cover due to the design defect.

Your check engine light came on while driving at highway speed, and your vehicle suddenly lost power and wouldn't go faster than 55 MPH afterward. You were able to restart it, but the dealer found that the turbo wastegate solenoid, charge air cooler, and turbo control valve wrap all needed replacement due to a factory defect. The repair will involve replacing these turbocharger and cooling system components with new parts.

Oil consumption issue requiring engine tear down.

I was driving in rush hour traffic on a freeway in Houston when the engine lost power and stalled out (50 mph) without warning. I had to remain on the freeway while cars whizzed past me. Car finally started back up after 30 minutes of trying. Vehicle only has 8800 miles on it and acted like it had run out of gas as it sputtered before dying. Engine light came on and remained on after it finally started back up. All fluids in range and was at 1/2 tank of gas. In process of diagnostics.

Car would stall suddenly mid intersection or street. There is an active recall for a fuel pump module with no known date of resolution. Fuel Pump Module would not provide adequate gas to the engine. This happened twice to me as I was driving on April 4th 2023. After speaking to Chevy & Dealership, there is not yet a fix to this problem. This car is UNSAFE and needs to be removed from the roads. I traded this car in, because I felt unsafe since Chevy could not help me.

I reported earlier in regards to the turbo going out in cold weather. The turbo was fixed finally (happened before Thanksgiving) on 1/13/22 by the dealer. RMPs are running high (65 MPH - RMPs are 2300) and it isnt shifting properly. wont shift to the next gear.
