NHTSA Complaint #10484872 — 2010 CHEVROLET EQUINOX

EQUINOX STARTS POWERING DOWN OCCASIONALLY DURING ACCELERATION THROUGH HARD RIGHT TURNS AND, ONCE, DURING A SOFT BUMP AGAINST A CURB. DASHBOARD LIGHTS TURN OFF, ENGINE DIES, ETC. CAN BE RESTARTED FROM STOP. WE HAD BEEN ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM, BUT HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO DO SO AT THE DEALERSHIP, SO IT REMAINS UNFIXED. WE ARE CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF DRIVING A VEHICLE THAT MAY POWER DOWN DURING A HARD RIGHT TURN AND HEAVY ACCELERATION. WE NOW INTENTIONALLY ACCELERATE SLOWLY AND CAUTIOUSLY THROUGH RIGHT TURNS. WE WORRY THAT WE WILL GET IN A SITUATION WHERE, FOR INSTANCE, WE'LL NEED TO TURN OUT OF THE WAY OF A SEMI TRAILER AND OUR CAR WILL POWER DOWN, PUTTING US IN GREAT DANGER. *TR
