Description of the problem | On 2. 25. 19 while stopped at a red light my car stalled twice when i gave it gas to go, than while trying to back into a parking space it stalled twice. On my way back to work the engine light came on, after a day or two it went out. Today 3. 5. 19 on my way to work i was driving and the lights dimmed and the radio turned off for about a min. Or so and when it came back on it was like i had just started the car. After getting gas i started my car and before i put it in gear it stalled out, restarted it and it kept stalling about 6-8 times than finally i turned it on and it didn't hesitate or the dash light dim so i put in gear and it drove ok but i was worried that it might stall when i was making a turn or in the middle of an intersection. This is a very dangerous condition if you are driving and your car just stops in the middle of the road. There was a recall on the 2011 equinox for this same problem and if so many people are having the same problems on other years 2010-2016 noted then there should be a recall on all these years and get this problem fixed. I notice that unless there a number of deaths involved these dealers/manufactors don't do anything about fixing these problems. We spend lots of money on these cars and we should't have to worry if we're going to have an accident in them with our families. The times this has happened it has been in gear or while i am putting it in gear. The 2011 recall 11195a. |
