2024 Chevrolet Equinox Complaint Log

In my 2024 chevy equinox after about 4months of ownership, our car is no longer blowing cold air and or blowing out enough air flow. It has only gotten worst.

My wife got into her car and the car flashed a “service ESC” and “service brake system” before disappearing. As she was driving to the end of our driveway, she tried to stop and the car rolled twenty or so feet before it finally came to a stop.

The biggest issue is last year while driving on 74 in busy traffic, the car automatically went into a "low power" mode and limited the power without warning. So now in traffic driving 55 mph, the car drastically slowed to about 35 without warning. It would not go faster no matter what I did. Then the check engine light came on afterwards. Thankfully I made it home safely after turning on my hazards and swerving through heavy traffic. I took it to the dealership and they didn't find any issues... of course. It did it again I took it back. They didn't find anything and then it stopped. Now fast forward today... my daughter drove to the store and the car cut off in the middle of the street. The way she explained it to me it was similar to what happened before. Except it cut all the way off this time. Same error on dash something like, "switched to low power." So I'm panicking. My husband and I go down and I try to start, it wouldn't start a few times. But eventually it did then cut off. Then it cut on when I kept slightly on the gas like I know to do with an older car. So... long story long... I got us home but with limited power and hazard lights. I'm glad we made it home safely and my daughter was shook up but she's safe. I'm terrified to let anyone else in the car let alone drive it. It could've been deadly.

The contact owns a 2024 Chevrolet Equinox. The contact stated that while his wife was driving 40 MPH and attempting to make a left turn, the brake pedal was depressed, but the vehicle failed to respond, causing his wife to make the left turn at 40 MPH uphill. The contact stated that the vehicle decelerated as his wife was driving uphill. The contact stated that his wife then pulled into a driveway and parked the vehicle. The contact stated that upon restarting the vehicle, several unknown warning lights illuminated temporarily however, the check engine warning light remained illuminated. Additionally, the alarm sounded. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that the failure had occurred due to loss of communication with the electric brake system control module and the electronic brake control module. The dealer determined that the software was outdated and needed to be reprogrammed. The vehicle was repaired; however, the contact stated that he was concerned that the vehicle was unsafe to drive due to the premature failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 100.
