Description of the problem | I have keyless start on my 2018 equinox. Pulled out of parking lot at 5pm onto major atlanta street and car shut off. Restarted it and it shut off as soon as i pressed the gas pedal. Repeated this four times until i realized that pressing the gas pedal was causing it to power down. Restarted it again, left it in drive, and coasted into a parking lot and parked it. Had it towed to dealership. Tow truck driver said he's been towing a lot of newer equinoxes because they lose power. Extremely dangerous and frightening. There's no recall, but another website said there are enough complaints that it needs to be addressed. |
