2022 Chevrolet Equinox problems

“Hello, I am writing regarding the fuel pump power control module failure in my 2022 Chevrolet Equinox LT. On Thursday, XXX, my husband and I were left stranded at the intersection of [XXX]. While we were sitting at the intersection, my Equinox began to hesitate and then stopped completely. Although we could restart the vehicle, it would immediately shut off again. We had our emergency flashers on, but vehicles behind us continued honking whenever the light turned green. Being stranded in the middle of a busy highway was both humiliating and frightening. VIN: [XXX] After waiting approximately 1½ hours, a tow truck arrived and towed our vehicle to [XXX]. I was subsequently required to pay for both a new fuel pump control module and a new fuel pump. The total cost was $1,237.34. I understand that General Motors issued Safety Recall N222372310 / NHTSA Recall 23V013000 involving certain 2021–2022 Chevrolet Equinox vehicles due to a fuel pump module that may not consistently supply sufficient fuel, potentially causing the engine to stall. I contacted two Chevrolet dealerships—one in [XXX] and one in [XXX]—and was told by both that this recall does not apply to my…”

“The contact owns a 2022 Chevrolet Equinox. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to start immediately. The vehicle was taken to the local NAPA Service Center to be diagnosed. The vehicle was diagnosed with a fuel pump control module failure. The contact was informed that the fuel pump control module needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the VIN was not included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V013000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). The contact stated that the vehicle had experienced the failure listed in the recall. The failure mileage was 40,967”

“Fuel pump control module.Crank no start. Service engine soon light. U18A2 code sent to Onstar. Inspected and confirmed by dealer. Vehicle is currently sitting at dealer that I purchased it from and out of service until repaired.”

“Known issue of arabic language reset on engine start with this make/model infotainment system. (TSB 23-NA-118 / 23-NA-042). Causes language and user errors upon startup and causes the rear backup camera to not engage properly every time, creating a safety issue when reversing. With the user’s language not saving, it creates a safety issue because the warnings are in a language that the user cannot understand on startup.”

“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.”

“The infotainment center failed completely and does not power on. Because of this failure, I cannot see the front, rear, or side cameras, and there are no audible warning sounds for parking, lane safety, or seat belt alerts. Essentially, none of the safety features connected to the infotainment system are functioning. This failure puts my safety and the safety of others at risk because I cannot see camera views when backing up or parking, and I receive no audio alerts or warnings for seat belts, obstacles, or safety features.”
