The auto stop start system in my Chevrolet Equinox shuts the engine off at every stop when the ambient temperature is about 60 degrees F or below.when i lift my foot off the brake it cranks up. With a thump. My concern is the half second delay before I can move. The person behind me sees my brake light go out and starts forward. This is the way the system was designerd to operate. The Chevrolet Division of General Motors chose not to install an auto stop start disable pushbutton in my 2021 Chevrolet Equinox Premier. I have no way to disable auto stop start if traffic conditions are such that I consider the engine shutting off at stops is dangerous to me. I have contacted Chevrolet about providing me with a auto stop start disable switch (pushbutton ). They didn't reply.
When the ambient temperature cooled down to the 70's, The auto stop start system will stop the engine of my 2021 Chevrolet Equinox at every stop light, even driving around in a parking lot. Often it will thump when restarting. If my foot is not firm on the brake, the vehicle wll lurch forward. Several times I have almost been rearended because the engine did not restart quickly. I hate the system. My vehicle does NOT have a auto stop start defeat switch ( pushbutton ). I'm sure GM would consider my vehicle technically correct. But I am scared of the system and think it will cause me an accident. The savings in gasoline is not worth the risk.
I purchased the vehicle in Feb. 2021. About 3 months after I purchased it, I had a message on my screen that the SD card had been removed and it popped up multiple times. I did what the manual said to do which is to hit the check to remove the message but it still popped up. When I took the car in, I told them about the message and I don-€™t know what Service did but I no longer came up. About 6 months later it started again multiple times and in addition my radio stopped working and my phone wasn-€™t connected to my car. Again Service did something to fixed it. I recently started to see the message again and my radio didn-€™t work again. The station was identified and I could change the station. It said my phone wasn-€™t connected however, I could bring up my contacts and my recent calls. When I turned my car off and restarted it after I had run my errand I didn-€™t have any issues except for the message. I took my car in for an oil change and asked the Service to also put the SD card back in again. They told me then that it was either a problem with the programming or the radio needs to be replaced and there-€™s no recall call on it. Why in the world would I have to pay them to correct the programming or pay for a new radio for a car that isn-€™t even a 1 1/2 years old yet?
We just purchased/leased the aforementioned 2021 Chevrolet Equinox in December of 2020. About a few weeks ago, the car starting swaying towards the left. Very dangerous. Especially if you are on the freeway. **also there is a tech screen issue. The dash shows a car that will flash green to warn you when a car is ahead, but it is flashing green when nothing is ahead or no where near us. Concern that this could be electrical or a fuse. Thank you. And be blessed. Pastor [xxx] C/O of [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
