NHTSA Complaint #10573237 — 2009 CHEVROLET EQUINOX

CAR HESITATED, SLOWED DOWN, THEN LOST POWER. THE WARNING LIGHTS WERE STABILITRACK OFF, TRACTION CONTROL OFF, REDUCED ENGINE POWER. CAR IS NOW WITH THE DEALERSHIP & WAS TOLD THAT THE THROTTLE BODY WILL HAVE TO BE ORDERED AS THIS IS A RARE OCCURRENCE BUT WHEN I LOOKED ON INTERNET, IT SEEMS THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT HAS BEEN REPORTED MANY TIMES. INCIDENT WAS SCARY DUE TO TRAVELING ON HIGHWAY AT 60 MPH AND FOR NO REASON CAR JUST BEGINS TO LOSE POWER. SO NOW I AM WAITING ON THROTTLE BODY TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS NOT A CHEAP FIX FOR THE VEHICLE. SAW ON INTERNET THAT THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS SPECIFIC PROBLEM BUT WHEN I TALKED WITH DEALERSHIP THEY STATE THAT THIS GM RECALL IS ONLY FOR V8 ENGINES NOT FOR THE V6 EQUINOX. GM KNOWS THERE IS A PROBLEM, THEY NEED TO STEP UP TO THE PLATE & COVER THE EQUINOX ALSO. *TR
