In owners' own words
Fuel pump located in the fuel tank, known recall on other equinoxes of this year and model but not all are covered but it is affecting more than what they are willing to cover putting my safety and other drivers safety at risk. Fuel/propulsion system
My vehicle has 75,607 miles and the transmission gave out randomly started stalling and jumping and it wonât switch gears correctly and this has been a problem for a lot of other equinoxâs as well Fuel/propulsion system
