Consumer Description

2019 CHEVY EQUINOX TURBO HOSE BLEW OFF. THE RETAINING CLIP FAILED TO PROPERLY HOLD HOSE IN PLACE. THE HOSE BLEW COMPLETELY OFF MAKING A LOUD NOISE. THE VEHICLE THEN IMMEDIATELY WENT INTO LOW POWER MODE. ALL ACCELERATION WAS GONE. LOSS OF POWER CREATED THE RPM'S TO INCREASE WHILE GOING UP HILL THE ENGINE STRUGGLING TO CLIMB.. THE VEHICLE LOST SPEED ALL THE WAY UP THE HILL. THE TURBO WAS USELESS AT THIS POINT. VERY UNSAFE TO SUDDENLY LOSE THAT MUCH POWER TO YOOUR VEHICLE. GM HAS TO FIND A SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM. MY LOCAL DEALER IS NOT VERY HELPFUL.
