NHTSA Complaint #11255302 — 2019 CHEVROLET EQUINOX

WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE HOME ONE EVENING. HIT THE ACCELERATION PEDAL LIKE NORMAL, AND I HEARD A LOUD 'POP' OR 'THUNK' UNDER THE HOOD. THOUGHT IT WAS REALLY BAD WHEEL HOP OR SOMETHING. RIGHT AFTER THAT THE CEL CAME ON, AND THE VEHICLE WENT INTO 'LOW POWER' MODE. WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT BACK HOME SLOWLY. HAD IT TOWED TO DEALER, SAID A HOSE TO THE TURBO CAME OFF. TOOK A FEW DAYS TO FIX. PICKED IT UP FROM THE DEALER, GOT OUT OF THE PARKING LOT. MADE IT MAYBE A FEW HUNDRED FEET, AND THE SAME EXACT THING HAPPENED. DROVE IT RIGHT BACK TO DEALER. THEY WERE ABLE TO QUICKLY ORDER PART AND FIX IT AGAIN WITHIN A DAY, THIS TIME REPLACING THE CLIP AND THE HOSE. DRIVEN THE CAR PRETTY HARD TO MAKE SURE IT WILL HOLD. IT HAS SO FAR AND HOPEFULLY WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A SERIOUS ISSUE WITH THIS PARTICULAR MODEL, AS THERE ARE A TON OF REPORTS HERE ABOUT THE EXACT SAME SCENARIO.
