    Incident Sep 9, 2026

  • EngineFiled Oct 5, 2026

    I had no issues with my car before taking it in for the fuel pump module safety recall. The next morning after they installed it at Malcolm Cunningham Chevrolet, the engine died in the middle of the road. it started slowing down and the more I pressed the gas the slower it went until it stopped while the engine shook then it died. I could restart it, but then it would shake again and die within 15 seconds. I tried a third time and it began to drive again. I took it back the next day and they said it was a low battery. I changed the battery and it died again the following day. This has since happened 5x! It is back at Malcolm Cunningham Chevrolet and they are trying to tell me it has nothing to do with the fuel pump yet they do not know what the problem is!

  • Fuel system, gasolineFiled Oct 2, 2026

    The contact owns a 2022 Chevrolet Equinox. While the contact’s pregnant wife was driving down a hill at approximately 62 MPH, the vehicle suddenly lost power and failed to properly accelerate while depressing the accelerator pedal. The vehicle experienced the failure a second time and was then parked on the side of the road. After shifting to park(P) the vehicle shut off and failed to restart. The vehicle was later towed to a nearby storage facility. AAA later examined the vehicle and determined that the fuel pump module had failed and needed to be replaced. The manufacturer and local dealer were notified of the failure. The contact was informed that the VIN was not included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V013000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). The failure mileage was 109,000.

    Incident Oct 1, 2026

  • Fuel/propulsion systemFiled Sep 29, 2026

    vehicle has 19000 miles on it. While driving, the engine died in traffic. I was sent a code from on-star of P129F. I had the suv towed by AAA to the nearest Chevy dealer and had to get a hotel. After researching, I discovered that this is a common problem with a multitude of GM vehicles whereas the control module for the fuel pump has a known failure issue. The module is an FPDCM module. The issue is so frequent that GM has a service bulletin 24-NA-139 and yet there is no recall. My suv has been serviced by Chevy dealerships over 4 times since purchasing new and this module should have been replaced before I was put in a potentially dangerous position. A recall needs to be issued immediately.

    Incident Sep 28, 2026

  • Service brakes, engine, fuel/propulsion systemFiled Sep 28, 2026

    The vacuum pump of the vehicle has failed four different times now, needing replaced each time, causing the “service brake assist” light to come on and the brakes to be really incredibly hard to press. Each time, it has been at highway speeds, and has made it extremely unsafe due to making it so hard to stop the vehicle. The first time it happened was in July of 2024 at 72,000 miles, again in October of 2024 at 80,000 miles, again in May of 2026 at 112,000 miles, and most recently in September of 2026 at 118,000 miles.

    Incident Sep 27, 2026

  • Power trainFiled Sep 26, 2026

    Once reaching around 50,000-60,000 miles, I began to experience a tremble/shudder sensation when driving between 35-45mph and the vehicle would appear to be on either 2nd or 3rd gear (usually under stress going up a hill). Mentioned to 2 different dealers but denied it being the transmission, both claiming because they never heard of Transmission issues with the Equinox. They ruled it as a PCV issue or balancing issue. After replacing the PCV and valve cover gasket as well as checking the balancing, the issues continued with no resolution. Even had the transmission fluid exchanged but no resolution. Now the shudder has intensified at times where it can feel very aggressive, feeling as if the transmission will give out or the Equinox will stall out entirely. I've searched online and numerous blogs have reported a known "Transmission Shudder" where some dealers, while under manufacturer warranty and extended warranty, were replacing the entire transmission or the Torque Converter Clutch which ended up resolving the issue. Now out of warranty, my Equinox as well as others reported online, the shudder continues.

    Incident Nov 3, 2025

  • Fuel/propulsion systemFiled Sep 22, 2026

    -The fuel pump control module fails. The dealer replaced the part and I don't have it for inspection. -Car dies while driving and will not restart. Stranded alongside the road with traffic and requires the vehicle to be towed. Quick response required to get pulled off the road before it is immoveable. The first time that it failed I was in a no reception zone and had to walk to get reception to call for help. -Yes, when at the dealership the vehicle failed and confirmed that it was the fuel pump control module. This problem has happened on 3 different accounts. A dealership in Washington state replaced the control module twice and a different dealership in the state of Iowa. The first failure was 2/26/2023 and towed to a dealership on 2/27/2023. The second failure was on 1/10/2024. The most recent failure was on 8/6/2026 and towed on 8/7/2026 to the dealership. -The vehicle has not been inspected by manufacturer, police or insurance. -A warning light service engine came on moments before the car died. It appears that there is a recall N252516900 that my VIN doesn't fall into that I believe covers the same issues I have been seeing.

  • Fuel/propulsion systemFiled Sep 22, 2026

    Car sputtered and stalled when starting for work, but then started, I kept it running while I dropped my daughter off at school and went to work. Car sputtered and would not start, leaving me stuck at work. After attempting to start a few times, my check engine light came on. Then received an email saying my car had a critical safety issue from OnStar. Had to wait over an hour for a tow to the Chevy Dealer. Waited another 6 days for it to be looked at. It was a faulty fuel pump modulator, which was recalled for some VINs but not mine. If it stalled while I was driving, it would've caused a wreck.

    • Fuel/propulsion systemFiled Aug 31, 2026

      While driving, the car began stalling, and the info window said to shift to "neutral" and restart the vehicle. Attempted this, and the car just stopped in the middle of the street, unable to move it to the side. The info window started saying "no fuel" and I was unable to restart the car to move it off the street. Had to call my local mechanic since there is no Chevy dealership in my area. The car was towed to the shop, and diagnosed with the "Fuel pump power control module" failure. The part was replaced, and the mechanic was still unable to get the car to register fuel in the gas tank. They took it to the closest dealership, and the dealership also was unable to clear the codes and sync it. At this point, the mechanic put the old part back on, and the car still wouldn't start. The mechanic ordered yet another fuel pump power control module, and this time the car would sync and register the gas in the car. As of today, the car is running.

    • Fuel/propulsion systemFiled Jul 26, 2026

      While driving my 2022 Chevrolet Equinox LT, at approximately 20 mph, the vehicle experienced a sudden and complete engine failure. The engine completely shut off while the vehicle was actively in motion, causing a severe and immediate safety hazard as I lost power assistance in traffic. The vehicle refused to restart and left me completely stranded in a dangerous traffic situation. It had to be towed immediately to a repair facility. The diagnostic performed at Firestone Complete Auto Care confirmed a total failure of the Fuel Pump Module Assembly, which completely cut off the fuel supply to the engine while driving. I had to pay out of pocket for an emergency replacement of the fuel pump module to make the vehicle operational again. This vehicle is experiencing the exact component failure and identical symptoms described in GM Safety Recall N222372310 (NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V013000) for Inadequate Fuel Pump Flow. However, General Motors is currently refusing to cover or reimburse this repair, claiming that my specific VIN is not included in their narrow recall database. Since this identical engineering defect causes sudden vehicle immobilization while in motion and creates a severe risk of highway collisions, I am filing this safety complaint to request that the NHTSA investigate and compel General Motors to expand the scope of Recall N222372310 to include all affected 2022 Equinox vehicles sharing this defective fuel pump design. I have the official diagnostic invoice and proof of payment available for verification.

      Traveling far from home, car suddenly made a rattling noise and engine shut down. Pulled over for a tow. After 2 weeks in a shop, it was determined the fuel pump was defective causing the camshaft to break. Our VIN is not under the recall but the damage was massive. GM refused to admit to pump failure / camshaft defect. Took parts to be inspected also to the dealership and they confirmed. There were no warnings. We were on a major highway traveling at 70 mph when this happened, yes this was a dangerous situation to be in. GM refused to listen to my case that I filed as I stated we have the "right to repair" and took it to the nearest shop. They closed my case with no opportunity to move forward in the customer service world. We had to pay 4900.00 for repair, 214.00 to tow, 1700.00 for a rental car and all they offered were 1000 GM point that converted to 10.00.

At this time there is not a new recall on this matter. The part that replaced the original fuel pump module did not solve the problem. The replacement part appears faulty as well. Had my car ben in traffic or on the highway it is possible I would have lost all power to the car which could have resulted in crash.

    • Fuel/propulsion systemFiled Apr 14, 2026

      While driving on the freeway at approximately 75 MPH my 2022 Chevrolet Equinox lost power, the engine stalled, and I was forced to pull over into a construction zone. The engine would not restart and the check engine indicator was on. OnStar messaged me via email that a fault P129F was detected. I had the vehicle towed to my home where I performed some additional diagnostics and determined that while similar to Product Safety Recall N222372310 Inadequate Fuel Pump Flow, the issue was not with the fuel pump but with the fuel pump controller module mounted under the vehicle. I replace the module with an official GM replacement module part number 13554821 which resolved the issue with the fuel system in my vehicle. I still have the faulty fuel pump controller module in my possession (see attached picture).

    • Fuel/propulsion systemFiled Apr 9, 2026

      The vehicle's fuel pump failed. Like many 2022 Chevy Equinoxes, ours has a fuel pump that failed while on a road trip 10 hours from home. However, ours was also not part of the recall batch for failing fuel pumps. There were no warning lights or lamps or other signs, and at 27,000 miles, we would never expect for our fuel pump to fail. It seems quite clear that this is part of the overall failure of 2022 Chevy Equinox fuel pumps, and this batch should be included in the recall.

    • Engine, fuel/propulsion systemFiled Jan 12, 2026

      Engine stalled possibly due to a faulty fuel pump. I was able to drive the vehicle without issue until I pulled up to my house, when the engine stalled. No warning signs prior to the incident. Proceeded to put the vehicle in park and start the engine again. The engine had trouble starting again, sputtering even when the gas pedal was pressed (no response to the gas pedal). No sound comes from the fuel pump when trying to start. Battery in good condition. Lucky vehicle did not stall while driving down the road at 60 mph. Vehicle will have to be towed to a mechanic.

    • Fuel/propulsion systemFiled Jan 5, 2026

      Vehicle unexpectedly stalled 10/5/2024 while driving at 45 mph on a highway. It would not restart. We were able to get to the side of the road and call for a tow truck. It was towed to the dealer where we purchased. It sat in the parking lot for a few days and they were able to restart it. The dealer could not find anything wrong. On 12/19/2025 the vehicle again unexpectedly stalled doing 50 mph on a three lane highway. It would not start. With a lot of beeping and cutting off upset drivers we were able to get the car off the road. We again had it towed to the dealer where we bought it new. They found there was a faulty fuel pump driver module. They replaced the module and we picked up and paid $386.62. It seems to be running fine now, but found this issue is a recall for many equinoxes with the same car years but my vin is not listed in the recall. I also see the replacement modules are being recalled. This is a dangerous situation for myself, my family, passengers and others on the road. This vehicle dies with no warning. No lights go on. It just plain stops running. No one should have to pay for this repair no matter the vin. Note this equinox has less than 60,000 miles on it.
