SERVICE BRAKES

here is the email I sent to GM. My name is [XXX] and I am having a issue with my 2024 Chevy Equinox VIN: [XXX] . There have been about 5 times that the brakes fail. Pushing the brake does nothing car just keeps rolling. Once I can get the car to stop and shut it down and restart the brakes once again work. It was in for service for a few days but there where no error codes and they could not replicate the problem. They did do a update on the car. While my car was in the shop I had the same problem with a Malibu rental. Called the dealership and talked to service and told them of the problem seems to be me somehow. Was asked if I use both feet to gas/brake the car as I was told there is a problem with that. No I don't do that but it seems I can catch both peddles with one foot and this is when the problem occurs. I have to make sure how I brake. Have found out today when it happened once again that if I put the car in neutral and press the gas the brakes start to work but not until then. There also was another issue today as when I did get the car to stop and put it in park I could not put the car back in gear until I shut the car off and restarted. Can someone let me know on how to proceed other then cautiously. I would take the car back in but they can fix a problem they don't see. Any insight would be appreciated.

ENGINE

On [XXX], about 400 miles into our trip heading South on [XXX], the Engine Reduced Power Warning came on. We were in the fast lane traveling at 70 MPH,the car immediately slowed to about 30 mph.There was no prior warning or check engine light. Vehicles behind us had to swerved and change lanes to avoid hitting us. The computer went into limp mode, when pressing the accelerator there was no power, we somehow made it to the right shoulder without getting hit and limped along to a safe spot and called a tow truck. Car was towed to an independent repair shop recommended by AAA, they ran the codes and came up with a code for High pressure Fuel pump. This vehicle is a 2024 Chevy Equinox with 15,018 miles on it, we bought brand new in April 2024 with 5 miles, always maintained at the dealer.Because we were 400 miles from home and the closest dealer in Bakersfield said they could not work on it for 3 or 4 days, we had to have the independent shop replace the fuel pump. We had to rent a car to continue our trip and picked up the car 2 days later. Replacing the fuel pump fixed the problem but the check engine light came back on about 30 miles later. The mechanic ran the codes and said it needed the computer re-flashed but it would be safe to drive home. After we got home we took it to the dealer, they re-flashed the computer and check engine light went off.After about 30 miles later the check engine light came back on, took it back to the dealer and this time the codes showed a bad catalyst converter, dealer replaced under warranty, only 15728 miles on vehicle at this point. So far 200 miles and light is still off.I I filed a complaint with General Motors customer service to let them know of this problem. I also requested to get reimbursement for the rental car and fuel pump.They refused to reimburse us because we didn't have a dealer do it, regardless of the situation. The public needs to know of this dangerous situation with the model. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552

STEERING

Report of Dangerous Rental Vehicle and Serious Safety Incident – Rental Agreement #289216922 I am submitting this report to formally document a serious safety issue involving a rental vehicle I received from Avis in May 2024. Several safety components malfunctioned and put the safety of my and my passenger in a life threatening situation. At the time of pickup, the vehicle had a visible dent near the front right tire, which was acknowledged by the rental agent and dismissed as cosmetic. I also noted a faulty rear hatch, which opened unpredictably and struck occupants in the head on multiple occasions as it behaved erratically. Over the course of the rental, the vehicle displayed additional signs of mechanical failure — including instability at highway speeds, loud squealing, and parts of the bumper physically falling off during the trip. On May 30th, while driving at highway speed, the vehicle suffered a sudden tire blowout. Critically, the onboard system misidentified the location of the blown tire, indicating the front right tire had failed when it was actually the rear right. This misinformation delayed proper response and nearly resulted in a rollover. We were stranded on the roadside for over an hour, narrowly avoiding several collisions. A critical system failure. A responding tow truck driver observed signs that the vehicle may have previously been involved in a collision — which aligns with the visible damage present when the vehicle was picked up. Avis has, despite multiple attempts, refused to confirm whether the vehicle was removed from service after the incident or whether any safety inspection was conducted -- we remain severely concerned for the safety of anyone else using this vehicle. This vehicle should not have been rented in its condition. The failure of safety systems, mechanical instability, prior collision damage, and the loss of exterior components created a serious and unacceptable risk to the driver, passenger, and others on the road.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL

To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to formally report a serious and recurring safety issue with my 2024 Chevrolet Equinox, and to request immediate investigation and resolution. The vehicle has, on multiple occasions, unexpectedly gone into “reduced power” mode (also referred to as “limp mode”), drastically limiting acceleration while driving at full speed in traffic. This most recently occurred while my teenage daughter was behind the wheel, causing the car to completely shut off in the middle of the street. The first time this happened, I was traveling at approximately 55 mph on Highway 74 when the vehicle suddenly decelerated to about 35 mph without warning, despite my attempts to accelerate. The check engine light appeared only after the power loss. We narrowly avoided a serious crash. We had to engage hazard lights, swerve through traffic, and coast the vehicle home. The dealership was unable to replicate the issue during follow-up visits, and the issue stopped temporarily—but has now returned. This is more than an inconvenience; it is a critical safety risk to myself, my family, and others on the road. Details: Vehicle: 2024 Chevrolet Equinox Issue: Sudden power loss while driving; engine enters limp mode without warning Occurrences: Multiple (including full vehicle shutdown) over the course of ownership Dealership Response: "No issues found" – despite multiple visits Diagnostic Error: Dashboard reads “Engine Power is Reduced” Concern: Loss of power at high speed, dangerous stalling in traffic

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL

The biggest issue is last year while driving on 74 in busy traffic, the car automatically went into a "low power" mode and limited the power without warning. So now in traffic driving 55 mph, the car drastically slowed to about 35 without warning. It would not go faster no matter what I did. Then the check engine light came on afterwards. Thankfully I made it home safely after turning on my hazards and swerving through heavy traffic. I took it to the dealership and they didn't find any issues... of course. It did it again I took it back. They didn't find anything and then it stopped. Now fast forward today... my daughter drove to the store and the car cut off in the middle of the street. The way she explained it to me it was similar to what happened before. Except it cut all the way off this time. Same error on dash something like, "switched to low power." So I'm panicking. My husband and I go down and I try to start, it wouldn't start a few times. But eventually it did then cut off. Then it cut on when I kept slightly on the gas like I know to do with an older car. So... long story long... I got us home but with limited power and hazard lights. I'm glad we made it home safely and my daughter was shook up but she's safe. I'm terrified to let anyone else in the car let alone drive it. It could've been deadly.

SERVICE BRAKES

Driving at abut 10 mph, my brakes did not respond to pedal pressure... I had to stomp very hard on the brake pedal to have any slow down effect.... various warning messages flashed across the dashboard (see attached files)... After stopping, I turned off the car and turned it back on, the problem continued to exist..... then, after about 1 hour, I tried again and all systems were working fine. I took the car to Chevrolet Service, and apparently there were no OBDII codes stored in the vehicle.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

Started into traffic and vehicle quickly slowed way down and then started to move again. At next light power lost again. Do not remember if warning light came on but it was not there prior to the incident. Towed to dealer. Fuel pump replaced. One month later accelerating to exit in heavy traffic it lost power. Engine light came on saying something to the effect engine power lost. It Started back up quickly and I got safely where I was going. It was running ok so I finished another 400 miles of trip. Dealer service tech on phone said probably stabilizer did what it’s suppose to do and probably avoided something serious. Not too much driving since then but I can tell I don’t have the pick up I should have when accelerating. Afraid each time I give pressure to the pedal that it might stall again as it doesn’t pick up speed as I’ve been used to. Taking to dealer for 30,000 mile service and to check this out. Was told if no dash light warning they could check it out but probably will check out fine.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Component Malfunction and Availability for Inspection: The vehicle’s infotainment system is critically malfunctioning and poses a serious safety threat. The issue has persisted despite four service attempts, and GM refuses to repair it. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. Safety Risk: This malfunction creates an extremely hazardous driving condition. While traveling at highway speeds in unfamiliar, high-traffic areas, the system has suddenly frozen, pixelated, emitted loud static from the speakers, and disabled all controls. In one incident during Chicago rush hour (65 mph zone), I lost navigation, audio controls, and screen functionality simultaneously. The sudden, jarring noise and visual failure distracted me and left me unaware of my location. With no safe exits, I had to dangerously operate my phone while steering through speeding traffic just to regain directions—putting my life and others at risk. This wasn’t a choice, it was a desperate action forced by a system failure. This situation was terrifying, disorienting, and could have easily resulted in a crash. Reproduction/Confirmation of the Problem: The issue has not been successfully reproduced by the dealer, despite recurring complaints and multiple service visits. It occurs regardless of whether a device is connected via Bluetooth or USB, and with different users' phones. Inspection by Others: The manufacturer has failed to correct the issue after repeated attempts. The vehicle has not been inspected by the police or insurance representatives. Warning Signs and Timeline: No warning lamps or messages appear before the failure. It strikes without notice. The system shows severe symptoms: frozen screen, distorted sound, mismatched song info, unresponsive buttons, and audio continuing after the car is shut off. Restarting the vehicle does not fix it. The randomness and severity of these failures make the vehicle unsafe to operate, especially in high-speed or unfamiliar driving conditions.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

I pulled in to traffic on busy road, car quit. I almost got hit. The Fuel Pump Control Module was replaced on warrantee but I understand this has been an ongoing problem. Car had 800 miles. My wife is now afraid to drive it.
