2021 Chevrolet Equinox Fuel System Problems

Your 2021 Equinox stalled while driving at 35-40 MPH, causing power steering and brakes to stop working and triggering a check engine light. The vehicle restarted after a delay but the stalling happened repeatedly. An independent mechanic initially diagnosed a fuel pump failure and replaced it, but the problem continued; a second mechanic identified a fuel pump module failure instead. Your VIN was not covered under the related recall, and the dealer did not repair it. Fixing this will likely require replacing the fuel pump module.

Your engine suddenly seized while driving at normal speeds. After the initial seizure, the engine restarted and you were able to drive about 500 feet before parking. Your check engine light came on, and when you tried to restart the vehicle later, it wouldn't start at all. Based on your research, you believe this is related to a known fuel system failure. The issue may require inspection of the fuel system components and engine diagnostics to determine the root cause of the seizure.

Your car is jerking, stalling, and choking while driving. A diagnostic scan found two fuel system issues: a faulty fuel tank pressure sensor and a large leak in the evaporative emission (EVAP) system that controls fuel vapor. These problems are likely causing the rough running and stalling you're experiencing. Fixing this will involve replacing the fuel tank pressure sensor and locating and sealing the leak in the EVAP system.

Your fuel pump, which is located inside your fuel tank, has a known recall issue affecting other 2021 Equinoxes. However, not all affected vehicles are covered by the recall, and you believe yours should be included. You're concerned this could create a safety risk for you and other drivers on the road.

Your 2021 Chevrolet Equinox shuddered and stalled twice while idling or coming to a stop, with no warning lights appearing. The vehicle restarted normally both times. This issue hasn't been diagnosed or repaired yet, and may be related to a fuel system recall, though your vehicle's VIN wasn't included in that recall.

Your car lost power while driving at various speeds without any warning lights appearing, and it hesitated when you tried to restart it. A mechanic diagnosed the problem as inadequate fuel pump flow, meaning your fuel pump isn't delivering enough gasoline to the engine. This issue would typically require fuel pump inspection or replacement to restore normal power and performance.

My vehicle completely stopped. My vehicle would not start. I had to have it towed to a mechanic. I was advise that fuel pump module had to be replaced.

While driving, the car started making a whining sound on acceleration. As I was driving up my street the car went into limp mode and shut down, only allowing enough time to park. If this had happened on a main road or freeway it could have caused an accident due to the sudden loss of power. The issue is the high pressure fuel pump and has been confirmed by a Chevrolet dealer service center. I reported the issue to GM asking for assistance with the repair and to explore whether or not this could fall under the power train warranty. Mileage at the time of the incident was 39113. The only warning lights that appeared came on as the car went into "limp mode" but no warning prior to this incident.
