2019 Chevrolet Equinox

The vehicle intermittently loses motive power. After stopping, the engine revs when I press the accelerator, but the vehicle does not move. It only moves again after I turn the vehicle off and restart it. No warning lights appear when this happens. This defect could leave me stranded in traffic or unable to clear an intersection, creating a serious safety risk. Auto Plus identified a transmission problem and told me that a transmission bolt is missing. I previously reported the stalling and loss-of-power issue to General Motors, but I was told that nothing was wrong. My VIN is not included in the applicable transmission recall\. Please document and investigate this complaint to determine whether the loss of motive power, transmission problem, and missing bolt may represent a known or safety-related defect. Please also review whether other vehicles may be experiencing similar problems and whether additional safety action is necessary.

I had just come back from [XXX]. I just gotten off the highway was turning to go home went to break and I could not depress the break on my dashboard. It said brake assistant failure or brake assistance. Something I was 2 miles from home. I had two babies in the car. I had to drive it 2 mph because it was after dark and there was no way to get anybody out there to get me home or to tow it anywhere. It was the most terrifying experience in my life had this happened on the highway we would’ve been dead. Prior to this there have been no issues with my breaking. My brakes are in good shape. There is some kind of failure in this car. My engine check engine light came on the brake assistant light came on warning the little icon on your dashboard and I could not break now my car is parked in my driveway. I have no secondary car and I am so upset about this. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

My 2019 Chevrolet Equinox has experienced repeated engine and transmission problems despite multiple repair attempts. I spent approximately $10,000 on a new transmission, but the vehicle still runs but will not move. These recurring failures raise serious safety concerns. The exact cause is UNKNOWN, and repair records may be available for inspection.

SAFETY VEHICLE COMPLAINT / DEFECT REPORT Vehicle: 2019 Chevrolet Equinox Complaint Type: Brake Failure / Loss of Braking Ability / Vehicle Malfunction Incident Date: XXX Location: [XXX] Request: Safety defect investigation Description of Incident On XXX, while my 2019 Chevrolet Equinox was being operated in the [XXX] area after exiting the highway, the vehicle experienced a serious and potentially life-threatening malfunction. As the vehicle approached a situation requiring the driver to stop, the brake pedal was pressed, but the vehicle did not stop as expected. The brake pedal went completely to the floor, and there was little to no braking response from the vehicle. At the same time, the vehicle experienced additional significant mechanical/electrical problems. The vehicle would not properly shift into gear, and the vehicle began flickering/shaking and malfunctioning. The combination of loss of braking ability and the inability to properly shift the vehicle created an extremely dangerous situation. A failure of the braking system while the vehicle is being operated on or near a highway presents a serious risk of a crash, injury, or death. The vehicle was subsequently inspected by a mechanic. I was informed that the issue was possibly related to the fuel pump, although the cause of the brake failure and the other vehicle malfunctions has not been definitively established. I am requesting that this incident be formally documented and investigated as a potential safety defect involving the 2019 Chevrolet Equinox. My primary concern is that the vehicle experienced a complete or near-complete loss of braking ability, with the brake pedal going to the floor and the vehicle failing to stop normally. The simultaneous inability to shift gears and additional vehicle malfunction makes this particularly concerning. I believe this issue warrants investigation to determine whether there is a recurring defect . INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

While driving my 2019 Chevrolet Equinox, the brake pedal suddenly became extremely hard to press while the vehicle was being driven. The problem occurred unexpectedly while the driver was slowing down. Significantly more force than normal was required to press the brake pedal, which made it difficult to slow and stop the vehicle safely. The suspected component/system is the brake assist system, potentially the brake booster or vacuum system, but the exact cause is UNKNOWN at this time. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. This created a significant safety risk because the braking system suddenly required substantially increased pedal force while the vehicle was in motion. We were able to get the vehicle stopped and did not continue driving it because of the safety concern. The problem has NOT yet been confirmed or diagnosed by a dealer or independent repair facility. The vehicle has not yet been inspected by the manufacturer, police, or an insurance representative. The check-engine warning light came on AFTER the hard brake pedal problem occurred. There were no known warning symptoms immediately before the brake problem occurred. The brake issue appeared suddenly and unexpectedly while driving. At this time, the exact component that failed is UNKNOWN. Our best assessment is that there may be a problem with the brake booster, vacuum supply, or another component responsible for brake assist.
