Consumer Description
INTAKE CAMSHAFT ACTUATOR SOLENOID VALVE. I HAD THE OIL CONSUMPTION SERVICES COMPLETED LAST OCTOBER 2017 AND THIS YEAR IN OCTOBER 2018 I HAD TO HAVE THE CAMSHAFT ACTUATOR SOLENOID VALVE REPLACED TO WHICH EVERYONE I KNOW WITH AN EQUINOX THAT IS OLDER THAN 2016 IS HAVING TO HAVE THIS PART REPLACED ON THEIR VEHICLE. I FEEL THAT WITH SUCH A DRASTIC AMOUNT OF VEHICLES HAVING THIS FIXED IF IT WASNT APART OF THE OIL CONSUMPTION PARTS TO HAVE REPLACED IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN BECAUSE IT REALLY APPEARS TO BE A LARGELY REPLACED ITEM COSTING PEOPLE OVER $200 TO HAVE FIXED. THIS PART CAUSES YOUR VEHICLE WHEN AT LOWER SPEEDS TO STALL OUT OVER AND OVER UNTIL IT JUST WONT GO. IT STARTED WITH A ROUGH IDLE. THEN WHEN ACCELERATING AT LOW SPEEDS THE VEHICLE WOULD STALL OUT. FINALLY IT WOULD STALL WHILE I WAS DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS.
