Consumer Description

THE ENGINE DIED WHEN STOPPED AT A LIGHT. THIS HAPPENED AFTER DRIVING A FEW MINUTES. WITHIN A WEEK, IT STARTED HAPPENING MORE AND MORE OFTEN, THE ENGINE WOULD JUST DIE WHEN STOPPED AT A LIGHT OR JUST STARTING AFTER BEING STOPPED. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AFTER A FEW DAYS. ALSO, A COUPLE TIMES LAST WINTER ON COLD DAYS THE ENGINE RAN REALLY ROUGH FOR THE FIRST FEW SECONDS AFTER STARTING. I TOOK IT TO A DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE CAM SHAFT ACTUATOR SOLENOID VALVE. I GOOGLED AND FOUND THE 2011 EQUINOX WAS RECALLED (11195A) FOR WHAT SOUNDS LIKE THE SAME PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 30,000 MILES AND HAD REGULAR OIL CHANGES.
