Chevrolet Equinox Power Train Safety Report | Feb 05, 2013
Reported on Feb 05, 2013
| WHILE DRIVING AT 50 MPH, THE CHECK STABILIZATION SYSTEM LIGHT CAME ON. NEXT, THE ENGINE CUT POWER WITHOUT WARNING. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND I WAS TOLD THE CAR NEEDS A NEW THROTTLE BODY. HOWEVER, THE PART IS BACK ORDERED AND NOBODY CAN TELL ME WHEN IT WILL BE AVAILABLE. APPARENTLY THERE IS A NATIONAL SHORTAGE. I WAS JUST FORTUNATE THAT ANOTHER CAR WAS NOT BEHIND ME WHEN THE ENGINE CUT POWER. I HAVE CALLED GM ABOUT THIS ISSUE. MY CONCERN IS THAT THIS WILL HAPPEN AGAIN EVEN IF I REPLACE THE THROTTLE BODY. *TR | |
