Ever so often my check engine will pop on and everything will go haywire. The park assist will cut on and off periodically as well as the automatic high beams and also the infotainment system will connect to my phone and randomly make phone calls at any time. I'm usually alerted of this malfunction when I start the vehicle. Also, the auto stop/start will be active but will continue running when brake is applied. And the final issue is one of the majors, my automatic remote start only works periodically. I'll use this feature from my window which is about 55 ft from my car and the lights will come on but when I get to my car it's not running and everything is off. There is definitely an electrical issue in the vehicle. I have only had the vehicle 3 months and the issue persist more and more frequently. I have informed the dealership and they seem to can't find any issues which is beyond me but they just keep getting worse. I need some sort of help on this matter.

After going very slow, mostly stopped, in stop-and-go traffic for 2 hours, my Chevy Equinox suddenly started to shake and would not respond. The car/engine was on and in Drive but the gas petal would not propel the car forward. My steering wheel locked and I could not turn it in any way. The Engine Light came on and a message came on the dash that said "Push Brake to Start Engine" but pushing the brake did not change anything, and the engine had never turned off. I tried to turn the car off by mashing the brake and pushing the engine stop button but my car would not turn off. I rolled backward into the car behind me as could not go forward and traffic had to be routed around me. About 20 minutes later, I tried to turn my car off and it did cut off completely. About 30 minutes later a police officer was able to turn my car on, put it in neutral, and roll it to the side of the road. The check engine light was still on. My car was towed 200 miles back home and I was able to drive it off the tow truck and into our driveway but the engine light was still on. The next day, the car turned on and the engine light was not on. I did not feel safe to drive it so we had it towed to the Carmax where we purchased it. Carmax towed it to a local chevy dealership and they said it was the fuel nodule. It is currently awaiting those repairs.

I purchased the vehicle new. When I took it in for a factory recall there was damages to the vehicle and dealer blamed me for it. I purchased it brand new. The dealer has gone out of business and GM and the new dealer will not take care of the factory recall since the damages were done by original dealer that sold it. My air conditioner went out as well and they did fix that. But still not able to fix the hidden damages on the vehicle I purchased new. They want to charge me to fix the damages before they fix the factory recall. I would have never know of the damages if there was no factory recall. Please help. I have been getting the run around since February and the lemon law or anyone will help me.

When I would start my car in the morning, it would stall/sputter and make clanking noises. The check engine light came on, and I took it to the dealership for repair. They replaced a fuel injector and then the next day I had the same issue and took it back to the dealership. They replaced another fuel injector and when I got it home and tried to start it a few days later, the same issue persisted. I took it back to the dealership and asked they keep it a few days to test their repairs and they-??ve had the car almost 4 months now. They don-??t know what the issue is. They-??ve brought in engineers from GM and still can-??t identify the issue.

Just left a traffic light when the sunroof exploded. Thought it was a blowout the second it happened but soon realized it was the glass above me.

After driving an arriving at home, I open the hood to let the heat out. Heat coming from cat. converter. or eng. not sure. It is so hot, I cannot put hand anywhere. My point is, I believe all those rubber hoses are going to wear out fast. Dash temp. gage is below half way. All that heat, battery wear etc.
