Vehicle had 3 warning go off while driving. Vehicle engine is shaking. It decelerate and I couldn-€™t go over 35. No power going up hill. Traction controls shut off, check engine, and SEC service came on. Now messages of braking system and emission from on star. Had a similar incident over thanksgiving and I was told I needed an oil change because there was low oil. My car was at 58% for oil change. Now I-€™m at 83% and it shouldn-€™t need oil. There have been multiple issues with lag time from pushing the gas to engaging. This vehicle has had more issue than any other Chevy I have owned. Transmission seals off the lot. This is not building confidence in safety at all.
We received a message on our in car display that said reduced engine power and the check engine light came on. We stopped, we raised the hood to investigate and there was oil all over the engine and engine compartment, as well as under the vehicle. The oil dipstick was out of its place by about 2-€-2 1-2-€ That is where the oil came from. When I refilled the crankcase to replace the engine oil that was lost, it took about 3-3 1/2 quarts to refill (oil capacity is 4.5 quarts). When taken to the dealer for service, they said there was gasoline in the oil and that the engine oil needed to be changed. Once the oil was changed and the vehicle was test driven, the dealership said there was no gas in the oil, but gave no explanation as to what caused the oil dipstick to become raised from its normal position allowing the oil to escape. Oil and gas could cause a fire on board the vehicle. Oil could also get on the tires as well as the highway, causing a loss of traction and control of the vehicle, as well as other vehicles and drivers that ran into the oil/gas that fell from the vehicle to the road surface.
The vehicle studders, stops, stalls, and or dies upon starting the car. It is due to lack of fuel to fuel rail. The trouble it produces is P129F nothing else. Even trying to prime the vehicles fuel pump following manufacturers steps for doing so does not work. The only way I have been able to get it to have fuel to the rails (reliably) is to push it and jump in and try to start it.
I started having issues with my car stalling, there was no acceleration and the car was shaking. When the car was stopped, there was also shaking. After the car would get going, the shaking would stop, but whenever I stopped the problem would persist. I have my car at the dealer right now for 4 days. They are telling me the motor seems to be consuming too much oil and that the motor is shot, they are accusing me of not keeping up with oil changes, which is not true, and that I am responsible for the cost of repairs. I did not have the oil changes done at the dealer, but at another local shop, but don't have all of the receipts, just one from the oil change done on 3/15/2021. Is there any way to check the on-star system or computer, to see that the maintenance was completed? the car sends alerts for all sorts of things, low tire pressure, low oil, low fuel, etc. I never received low oil messages. The dealer is refusing to request any computer records for the car. The car was leased is early 2020 and shouldn't be having these kinds of issues.

When we bought the 2020 Equinox on January 20, 2020 the check engine light came on and they kept it 2 days diagnosing it and it said a fuel system problem and they told us that they contacted GM engineers who were looking into it and to go ahead and drive it with the light on till they got back with us. It has continued to stay on I had the code read again and it is a P2365 fuel pump a low flow/performance code. I do not like driving it with the light on, the dealership telling me to, not hearing anything back from them, the remote start will not work with the light on which is a main reason we bought it.
