Lemberg Law is investigating reported complaints for the Chevy Equinox. There have been numerous complaints regarding a loss of engine power and issues with the turbo unit becoming disconnected from the throttle body. This causes a reduction in engine power. Chevrolet has released a Technical Service Bulletin for this issues stating that trouble codes, P0172, P0299, P0101, P0506, P1101 may display when this issue occurs.
Vehicle owners have reported a loss of engine power while driving. Typically, this is followed by a loud noise coming from under the hood and the warning code, “Engine Power is Reduced.” When the car is in this mode, also know as “limp mode,” the vehicle can be only driven no more than 15 miles per hour.
A vehicle owner from Florida stated:
“This 2019 Equinox is 1.6l diesel engine. I bought it brand new. I have been to the service 5 times with a problem message “engine power is reduced”. When this happens, the vehicle cannot run over 15mph. Every time this happens, I am on a freeway and all of a sudden the vehicle slows down and I cannot get it to run over 15mph. Very dangerous and big safety issue because in most case this happened, I semi-truck is behind me running at freeway speed limit, honking at me to get out of the way and I am nervously trying to find an emergency lane to stop. When I am on the fast lane, it is difficult to find an emergency quickly.”

Another owner left a similar complaint on the NHTSA complaint database: “The contact owns a 2019 Chevrolet equinox. While driving 55 mph, the contact heard a loud abnormal noise. The contact mentioned that the vehicle jerked violently, and the power reduced and check engine indicators illuminated. The vehicle was pulled over and the contact noticed that the turbo hose was disconnected from the engine. The vehicle was taken to Grieco Chevrolet of Fort Lauderdale (1300 N Federal Hwy, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33304) where the contact was informed that the faster needed to be replaced in the engine.”

My Equanox 2019, has been having issues lately. Electric, lost of power while driving, starts issues. I’ve bought a battery charger which I now keep in my car at all times just in case and it barely has 37300 miles on it.
I have a 2017 Chevy Equinox and it has been in the shop 5 times for the same thing and I am over it all. I had it not even 2 weeks when they got it back for the 1st time due to losing all power and it would eventually die. This has happened to me 5 times and they still can’t seem to fix it or even tell me what is wrong with it because they say they don’t know.
My 2012 chevy equinox engine blew out feb. 2nd and no one will help I have a service warranty that. Covers engines but no engine to be found d and I’m still paying monthly payments and have no vehicle, help!!!!
2012 Equinox engine using to much oil. Blown engine. Dealer says they can’t help me because I didn’t get my oil changes with them.
I had just got this problem fixed for the 2nd time, and not even 30 minutes later on my way to work while merging into traffic it blows again. I have to go weeks without my car at a time.
Yes my 2014 Chevy equinox which I bought brand new finally went due to oil consumption problems I called gm to see what could be done they said they could not help me at this time and I can’t afford to replace the engine
