Consumer Description

HI, MY 2012 EQUINOX STALLED ON ME WHILE I WAS IN REVERSE. I WAS BACKING OUT A DRIVE WAY AND IT STARTED TO JERK. AFTER JERKING IT DID EVENTUALLY GO IN GEAR. ONCE I PUT IT IN DRIVE I DROVE NO LESS THEN A MILE AND THE CAR CUT OFF. I TURN IT BACK ON AND PUT IT BACK IN DRIVE AND IT STALLED OUT AGAIN. THAT WAS THE FIRST INCIDENT IT HAPPEN A SECOND TIME ON 5/2/15. WHILE DRIVING MY CAR WAS JERKING WHEN AT A STOP LIGHT AND THEN IT STALLED OUT ON ME AGAIN. AM NOT SURE WHY THIS IS HAPPENING CONSIDERING I DO HAVE REGULAR MAINTENANCE DONE ON MY CAR. IF THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE PLEASE LET ME. THANKS *TR
