Car stalled while driving down highway and had to pull off to the side. It started last week dying when I was backing up. It also would jerk when at a stop light when I pressed the gas pedal. But today driving down the road I notice my air conditioner quit and then realized my car was no longer going when pressing the gas pedal. After impeding traffic I finally was able to coax car off to the side of the road.

Ses, air bag stabilitrak and ABS lights illuminated. Auto reduced power down to idle. When turned off and re-started, power returned to normal. This has happened four times since purchased new. The high pressure fuel pump has been replaced three times and the fuel sensor has been replaced once, requiring the gas tank to be removed in order to replace sensor. Also, airbag system inoperable twice since new, with sensors being replaced twice. Vehicle currently has 27,000 miles, still has bumper to bumper and powertrain warranty and is being processed through an attorney firm applying the lemon law. GM has made two low offers. Negotiations are still pending. Owner has lost all interest and trust in vehicle.

The 2012 Chevy Equinox stall constantly below 30 mph. It stalls at least 2 to 3 times trying to back out of garage to move it 10 feet. The idle starts off smooth but within 10 seconds the Equinox starts idling rough and jerking, then it stalls. When stopped at stop light the Equinox jerks back and forth, when I give it gas to go, the Equinox jerks forward and usually dies on me. It burns a large amount of gas and oil, I have to refill the oil up at least once a week.I have changed the oil myself and found the oil is saturated with metal filings. The check engine light comes on and off repeatedly. I have already replaced the battery twice because of a dead cell. I have replaced the front right tire due to a blow-out at 24,000 miles and dealership refused to replace it, saying I hit something and it could not have blown out. The entire navigation system in out and the lights flicker in the cup holders. The tire pressure sensors when out for at least 5 days and it started working again with no repair of the system. This is not a safe vehicle to drive considering, I don't know when it is going to stall driving down the highway. A recall is mandatory for full replacement!!!!

When the car is excelling from a stopped position, around the time the car is reaching 10 mph, braking for a complete stop than having to accelerate before coming to a complete stop; such as when a stopping for a red light and the light turns green, or slowing down from exiting the interstate the vehicle will shift hard, making a 'clunk' type sound. Also, while driving under normal conditions the steering wheel will make sudden small jerking motion. Both problems have occurred multiple times, in various driving conditions. The cruise has been on and off when the steering issue has occurred; the traction control has been on and off when the steering issue has occurred. I drive in 'eco' mode regularly. And I am not including sudden stops in this complaint.

The fuel line on the 2012 Equinox (is a flex fuel, don't know if that makes any difference) is plastic and not protected from road hazards. The line runs close to the frame on the driver's side from the rear to front of the car. About where the driver side passenger door is, the fuel line has blue plastic connectors fastening the plastic fuel line. This section of fuel line and the blue connector tabs sit lower than the vehicle frame. (there is also another section in from the rear tire that sits a little higher, but still unprotected). Road hazards such as ice chunks, hard snow, dirt/gravel roads with ruts or high center, dirt clots, rocks, dead animals or anything that is about 7- 8 inches or higher ( or gets knocked up there) will break these plastic connectors or fuel line and gas will pour out of the vehicle. My fuel line broke by hitting a small mound of snow that had frozen overnight, by backing out of my driveway. After quickly noticing the fuel leak I rushed to a local auto shop (less than 4 miles) and lost about a full tank of gas before getting there. None of the local dealers had this part, was without a vehicle for 3 days.
