NHTSA Complaint #10467128 — 2010 CHEVROLET EQUINOX

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE CAR WAS JERKING BACK AND FORTH LIKE I WAS HITTING THE GAS AND BRAKE OVER AND OVER. I STOPPED AT A STOPLIGHT AND THE ENGINE MADE ANOTHER JERK AND THEN DIED. THERE WERE NO ENGINE LIGHTS OR FAULTS. I STARTED THE VEHICLE AGAIN AND IMMEDIATELY DIED AGAIN. I STARTED IT AGAIN AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE FOR ABOUT ANOTHER MILE BEFORE I WAS STOPPED AT A STOPLIGHT AND DIED AGAIN. IT DID THIS TWO MORE TIMES BEFORE I REACHED HOME. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A GM SERVICE CENTER. THEY ACKNOWLEDGED THIS WASN'T THE FIRST ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL OF VEHICLE WHICH IS AN ACTUATOR PROBLEM. THEY RECOMMENDED I CHANGE THE OIL MORE FREQUENTLY WHICH I DID BUT LESS THAN A YEAR LATER THE VEHICLE AGAIN EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE. ANOTHER SERVICE CENTER ACKNOWLEDGED IT WAS A COMMON ISSUE BUT THAT THEY CAN ONLY REPLACE THE ACTUATOR IF IT HAS FAILED. *TR
