Consumer Description
The engine failed leaving me sit on the side of the road needing a tow. Upon having the vehicle looked over, the mechanic indicated that this is the 3rd Equinox/GM/Chevrolet model within days that has failed. A local Chevrolet dealer was not available to look at my vehicle this week due to all the motor/engine issues coming in. My vehicle was inoperable leaving me on the side of the road. Myself and the tow truck driver could have been hit. The vehicle cut out and did not have any engine power leaving me to drift. Luckily I was not on a highway or busier street where I could have blocked traffic or caused an accident. Yes, the problem has been confirmed by the service center. It is unknown if they have any other representative inspect it. There was no other vehicles involved so no police were called. I was able to get out of the way of traffic. This is very dangerous to have engines failing without warning. No service engine or low oil or any other indicator of problem light came on when it happened nor leading up to it.
