NHTSA Complaint #10837899 — 2011 CHEVROLET EQUINOX

WAS SITTING AT A STOP LIGHT, VEHICLE ENGINE STARTED SURGING AND A WARNING LIGHT CAME ON SAYING REDUCED ENGINE POWER, HAD TO REALLY PUSH ON THE BREAK SO IT WOULD NOT LUNGE INTO THE INTER SECTION, LIGHT TURNED GREEN AND I STARTED TO GO, BUT I COULD ONLY GET UP TO 25 MPH, THEN ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASH CAME ALONG WITH A SERVICE STABILITRAK MESSAGE, MANAGED TO GET TO A PARKING LOT AND SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE FOR A FEW MINUTES, STARTED IT BACK UP AND IT RAN BETTER BUT CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINED ON. TOOK IT TO THE CHEVY DEALER, HE NEW BEFORE EVEN LOOKING AT IT WHAT IT WAS. ENDED UP BEING THE THROTTLE BODY, IF YOU LOOK ONLINE THERE ARE MANY EQUINOX VEHICLES WITH THIS PROBLEM. BUT GM WILL NOT COVER THIS UNDER THEIR POWER TRAIN WARRANTY EVEN THOUGH THIS IS WHAT SUPPLIES AIR TO THE ENGINE.
