NHTSA Complaint #11300499 — 2010 CHEVROLET EQUINOX

VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH WHEN CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, MESSAGE THEN APPEARED THAT ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED AND SPEED IMMEDIATELY DROPPED TO AROUND 15 MPH AND THEN TO A ROUGH IDLE AT APPROX 5-10MPH. WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED BY VEHICLE TRAVELING BEHIND ME. I WAS ABLE TO LIMP REMAINING 2 MILES HOME AND CONTACTED DEALER. APPOINTMENT WAS MADE AND DEALER REPORTED CODE P2135 AND REPLACED THROTTLE BODY..DEALER SAID THROTTLE DIDN'T KNOW UP FROM DOWN. DEALER STATED THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE EQUINOX. I HAVE READ MANY COMPLAINTS ONLINE ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE WITH OTHER OWNERS REPORTING BEING PUT IN A DANGEROUS POSITION WITH THE SUDDEN DROP IN SPEED LIKE WE WERE. I CONTACTED CHEVY GM AND THEY SAID THERE WERE NO RECALLS. IF RAPID ACCELERATION HAS BEEN TREATED BY OTHER COMPANIES AS RECALL WORTHY, I DONT UNDERSTAND WHY CHEVY DOES NOT CONSIDER THIS RECALL WORTHY. I HAVE ATTACHED THE REPAIR REPORT WITH THIS COMPLAINT.
