NHTSA Complaint #11615216 — 2022 CHEVROLET EQUINOX

On July 20, 2024 I was leaving a stop sign to pull onto the highway. When I tried to accelerate, my car would not move. The engine attempted to get power, but it would not go. After a few minutes, the car would move but I could not get up to speed as quick as usual. A few days later, I was driving about 30 mph through town, and felt what I thought was my transmission slip, causing me to lose power/speed. On July 24th, I contacted my local GM dealer, and got the car in to get it fix. They told me it was a turbo valve, and changed it. There was no engine lights or clear evidence of what was wrong with my car, but they said that the issue had been fixed by the turbo valve change. I had my car back August 5th. On August 9th, I was going uphill on a highway, and my car lost power again, causing me to lose speed and power. I called the car dealership that worked on my car and told them that it was not fixed. My car did produce a check engine light this time, and I relayed that to the mechanics, and they said that they would look into it. I took it into the dealership that day, and they have been working on it since. The dealership has been in contact with GM, but no progress has been made. It has been in the shop since August 9th, it is currently September 18 and they are not fixing the problem. They say that because there is no engine lights/messages on the dash, that they are unsure of what is going on and how to fix it.
