Consumer Description
I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND MY 2011 CHEVY EQUINOX JUST STALLED ON ME. IT RESTARTED AND RAN FINE. A FEW WEEKS LATER IT DID THE SAME THING. IN JANUARY 2013 IT STALLED ON ME 6 TIMES WITHIN A SHORT PERIOD. I WAS ABLE TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER. THEY REPLACED MY CAMSHAFT ACTUATORS. WITHIN 3 WEEKS OF HAVING THOSE REPLACED, THE CAR STARTED STALLING ON ME AGAIN. AGAIN I TOOK THE EQUINOX TO THE DEALER. THIS TIME THEY REPLACED THE SOLENOID VALVES. THE CAR HAS NOT STALLED ON ME SINCE THAT TIME, BUT IT DOES RUN ROUGH AND THE ENGINE MISSES WHEN I DRIVE DOWN THE ROAD. I BELIEVE IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME UNTIL IT BEGINS TO STALL AGAIN. THE CRUISE HAS ACTUALLY TURNED OFF BECAUSE OF THE ENGINE MISSING. I FEEL THE CAR IS UNSAFE BECAUSE YOU DO NOT KNOW WHEN IT IS GOING TO STALL. I AM AFRAID THAT I WILL BE REAR-ENDED WHEN IT STALLS OR IT WILL STALL WHEN I PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC. I AM AFRAID TO TAKE THE CAR VERY FAR FROM HOME FOR FEAR OF GETTING STRANDED. I FEEL THIS IS A REAL SAFETY ISSUE. *TR
