2022 Chevrolet Equinox — Known Issues & Recalls

Your vehicle has stalled and lost power while driving at low speeds (25 MPH) without any warning lights appearing first. This problem has happened multiple times since September 2022, and even after the fuel pump module was replaced, the stalling continues to occur. Your dealer diagnosed it as a fuel module failure, but the replacement didn't fully resolve the issue. The repair will likely involve diagnosing and replacing the fuel pump module or related fuel system components.

Your vehicle lost power while driving at 55 MPH, stalled, and wouldn't restart. The check engine light came on, and diagnostic codes pointed to a failure in the Fuel Pump Control Module and a sensor circuit problem. This happened around 30,000 miles and left your car unable to restart after the initial stall. The repair will likely involve replacing the fuel pump control module and diagnosing the sensor circuit issue.

Your car suddenly stalled while reversing out of your driveway and wouldn't restart. The dealer found that your fuel pump module had failed and replaced it to fix the issue. Even though your vehicle experienced this same failure, your VIN wasn't included in the related recall campaign.

Your car's fuel pump module failed while stopped at a traffic light with the STOP/START fuel saver mode active, causing the engine to stall and refuse to restart despite multiple attempts. No warning light appeared before the failure. The dealer diagnosed and replaced the fuel pump module to fix the issue.

Your vehicle unexpectedly stalled twice while driving on highways at highway speeds (45 mph and 50 mph) with no warning lights, and would not restart either time. The dealer eventually found a faulty fuel pump driver module and replaced it for $386.62. While the vehicle appears to run fine now, you've learned this issue is part of a recall for other Equinoxes, but your VIN isn't included in it—and the replacement modules themselves are also being recalled.

Your car suddenly lost power while driving on the highway with no warning, forcing you to pull over and get it towed. The dealership replaced the fuel pump module, but the check engine light returned within 2 weeks with the same fault code. After a second replacement, the same problem happened again 3 weeks later. Your car has now been in the shop three times in six weeks for this recurring issue, creating a serious safety hazard if it loses power again while you're driving at highway speeds.

Your vehicle's fuel pump failed, causing the engine to shut down while you were driving. This is a serious issue that could leave you stranded on the road. The fuel pump will likely need to be replaced to restore normal operation.

Your engine is running in limp mode and displaying check engine codes P2227 and P0299, which GM has identified as a known issue in 2021-2023 Chevrolet Equinox 1.5L turbocharged engines. Moisture from the PCV system accumulates in the charge air cooler and can freeze in cold weather, reducing engine power and causing stalling. You may notice reduced performance, rough idle, and check engine lights especially in cold or humid conditions. The fix typically involves inspecting and cleaning the charge air cooler and PCV system, and may require a software update or component replacement.

Your car's air induction system was taken to the dealership for warranty repairs in January 2025, but the problem wasn't actually fixed. When you returned in February, the dealership said they couldn't find anything wrong, yet the same issue has continued to occur. A year later, you went back and the dealership let the car thaw and cleared the check engine light code, but it came back on again with the engine reducing speed on its own.

While driving at 65 MPH, your 2022 Chevrolet Equinox suddenly lost power and the check engine light came on. A diagnostic test at Auto Zone identified that the fuel pump control module had failed. The dealer said there was no recall available at the time, though a similar issue was addressed in a later recall campaign.

Your engine cranks but won't start, and once it does start, it's hard to turn off. You'll see a warning light and a "Do Not Drive" message on the dashboard. The dealer diagnosed a faulty fuel pump that needs replacement, though parts may not be immediately available.

Your 2022 Equinox experienced two major breakdowns without warning. The first time in July, the engine suddenly lost power while driving at 35-40 mph with no warning lights, and a dealership determined the fuel pump control module had shorted out (costing $144 in towing). The second time in August, the engine started running rough, stalled, and was hard to restart; the dealership later indicated cylinder problems and said the engine needs replacement. Repairs may involve replacing the fuel pump control module and potentially engine rebuild or replacement.

Your transmission suddenly lost power while you were driving 75 mph on the interstate because a transmission line clamp broke, causing transmission fluid to leak out rapidly. Your vehicle's speed and power dropped unexpectedly, which could have caused a serious collision if other drivers hadn't reacted quickly. The transmission was destroyed and you were stranded. Fixing this will require replacing the faulty transmission line clamp and likely rebuilding or replacing the transmission itself due to fluid loss.

Your 2022 Equinox stopped running while you were driving, and a diagnostic code pointed to a fuel pump driver control issue. The fuel pump driver control module was replaced in February 2023 before you bought the car in November 2023, but the dealership's recent service only replaced the fuel driver box module and didn't address the original fuel pump control part, even though it was flagged as a recall. The repair will likely require replacing the fuel pump driver control module to restore proper fuel system function.

Your infotainment system won't power on, which means you can't see any of your camera displays (front, rear, or side) when backing up or parking. You're also not receiving any audio warnings for lane departure, parking obstacles, seat belt reminders, or other safety alerts that normally come through the system. This loss of visibility and warning sounds could create a safety risk when maneuvering your vehicle. The fix will likely involve diagnosing and repairing or replacing the infotainment unit and its electrical connections.

Your windshield wipers are freezing up and stopping while in use, even during rain. This happened multiple times when you tried to use them in wet conditions. The issue likely involves the wiper motor or linkage freezing, and may require inspection of the wiper motor, replacement of wiper blades, or checking for ice/debris buildup in the wiper mechanism.

While driving at 70 MPH, your check engine light came on with a "Reduce Engine Power" warning, and your car wouldn't accelerate normally. The dealer diagnosed a failed active shutter system that blocks air from reaching the turbocharger. This prevents your engine from getting proper airflow, which is why you lost power.

Your engine suddenly stalled when you pulled into your driveway with no warning beforehand. When you tried to restart it, the engine sputtered and wouldn't respond to the gas pedal, and you noticed the fuel pump wasn't making its normal sound. Your battery is in good condition, so the issue appears to be with the fuel pump rather than electrical. The fuel pump will likely need to be replaced or repaired by a mechanic.

Your OnStar system isn't working properly, which means you can't access emergency services, use the mobile app to lock your car remotely, or enable the WiFi features your family relies on. This is particularly concerning because you depend on OnStar for safety and communication needs. The repair costs around $1,000 and appears to be a widespread issue affecting many GM owners within the first year of ownership.

Your infotainment system has stopped working completely — the radio screen is blank and won't turn on or respond to input. You're also experiencing no sound output, the USB charger isn't working, and your OnStar service is down. This suggests a broader electrical or software issue affecting multiple connected systems in your vehicle. The fix will likely involve diagnosing the main infotainment unit, checking power connections, or performing a system reset or software update.
