2015 Chevrolet Equinox Fuel System Problems

The contact owns a 2015 Chevrolet Equinox. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the check engine warning light illuminated. While the vehicle was stopped at a traffic light, the vehicle jerked and idled roughly and nearly stalled. The vehicle was taken to Auto Zone to be diagnosed. The contact was provided with DTC P0172. The vehicle was not repaired. Several days later, the vehicle was taken for an oil change, and transmission fluid was flushed and refilled. The contact stated that on a separate occasion, a week after the oil change, the check engine warning light illuminated. The contact took the vehicle back to Auto Zone to be diagnosed. The contact was provided with the same DTC: P0172. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated that the failure persisted. The vehicle was then taken to the dealer. The contact could not leave the vehicle at the dealer. The contact spoke with one of the mechanics at the dealer, who suggested that the high-pressure fuel pump may be the cause of the failure. Several days later, the contact took the vehicle to the dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that the high-pressure fuel pump had failed and needed to be replaced. The contact was informed that fuel had leaked into the engine through the PCP valve and caused the fuel to run rich. The vehicle was not repaired. The vehicle remained at the dealer unrepaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 197,000.

The vehicle stopped running. We brought it to the mechanic. The mechanic confirmed that it is a high-pressure fuel pump malfunction and a known issue with these vehicles. All the oil has leaked out because of this issue, which could cause a fire. There is a huge charge to replace this and the spark plugs which were affected by the leak. There is a recall for certain 2015 equinox is because of this very issue, however ours is not covered for some reason. We would like to make a formal complaint so that our vehicle can be covered under this issue like the other 2015 equinox with a high-pressure fuel pump malfunction.

Fuel shut off does not work properly, extra fuel will spill out before the station's gas nozzle shuts off. Happens at every gas station, every time. Spilling fuel is a significant safety issue and environmental concern. Very surprised there hasn't been a recall yet.

VEHICLE STALLS AND SHUTS OFF WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP.

MY 2015 CHEVY EQUINOX BEGAN STALLING AND IDLING LOW TO THE POINT THAT SLOWING DOWN OR STOPPING WOULD CAUSE A STALLING ISSUE; GOING IN REVERSE WOULD CAUSE A STALLING ISSUE; PUTTING IT IN PARK WOULD CAUSE A STALLING ISSUE. SOMETIMES THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD COME ON, BUT MOST TIMES IT DID NOT. THE VEHICLE MAINTAINS A REGULAR OIL CHANGE AND MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE YET THIS PROBLEM, WHICH WAS INTERMITTENT AT FIRST, BEGAN HAPPENING EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN. COULD NOT BE DRIVEN DUE TO SAFETY CONCERNS. VERY SCARY IN TRAFFIC!

WHEN DRIVING I COULD FEEL IT JUMP AS IT WAS NOT GETTING GAS.. NOW IT STALLS WHEN I PUT ON THE GAS... CREATING A SAFETY HAZARD AS I DO TRAVEL HIGHWAY TO GET TO WORK..

NO WARNING, ENGINE REAR SEAL FAILURE.
