2024 Chevrolet Equinox Fuel System Problems

Your car has experienced sudden jerking on the freeway three separate times (September 2025, January 2026, and March 2026), triggering the check engine light and causing the engine to enter reduced power mode. Each time, your car had to be towed to the dealership, and each time the fuel pump was replaced. Despite multiple replacements, the problem has recurred, suggesting the replacement parts may also be defective.

Your car is sputtering and idling roughly while parked and while driving, sometimes shutting off completely with the check engine light on. The engine struggles to restart and feels like it may stall while you're driving. Your dealer has identified a faulty fuel pump as the cause, which requires replacement at a cost over $800. The fix will involve replacing the fuel pump assembly in your vehicle's fuel system.

Your 2024 Chevy Equinox entered limp mode (reduced power) on February 15, 2026, and triggered engine codes P228C and P0089. You experienced limp mode once before without a check engine light, and the vehicle lost acceleration while driving. The dealership indicated the repair may not be covered under warranty despite the vehicle having fewer than 60,000 miles. The underlying fuel system or fuel pressure issue will likely require diagnostic testing and component replacement or repair.

At 18,000 miles, your fuel pump has failed and needs to be replaced. Your car may have trouble starting, run rough, or lose power while driving. Replacing the fuel pump will require removing the fuel tank and installing a new pump assembly.

Started into traffic and vehicle quickly slowed way down and then started to move again. At next light power lost again. Do not remember if warning light came on but it was not there prior to the incident. Towed to dealer. Fuel pump replaced. One month later accelerating to exit in heavy traffic it lost power. Engine light came on saying something to the effect engine power lost. It Started back up quickly and I got safely where I was going. It was running ok so I finished another 400 miles of trip. Dealer service tech on phone said probably stabilizer did what it’s suppose to do and probably avoided something serious. Not too much driving since then but I can tell I don’t have the pick up I should have when accelerating. Afraid each time I give pressure to the pedal that it might stall again as it doesn’t pick up speed as I’ve been used to. Taking to dealer for 30,000 mile service and to check this out. Was told if no dash light warning they could check it out but probably will check out fine.

I pulled in to traffic on busy road, car quit. I almost got hit. The Fuel Pump Control Module was replaced on warrantee but I understand this has been an ongoing problem. Car had 800 miles. My wife is now afraid to drive it.
