23V339000 · Child Seat:Vehicle Latch Anchor

Reported: 2023-05-11 (May 11, 2023)

General Motors, LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2020-2023 Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain vehicles. The four rear-seat lower child seat LATCH anchorage bars may have excessive powder coating, which could prevent a child seat from being installed with the anchorage bars.

Dealers will inspect the latch anchorage bars, and remove and replace the finish, as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed June 2, 2023.

WHILE TRYING TO GET OUT OF MY SLIDE, I HIT A ROAD SIGN WITH MY FRONT BUMPER. IMMEDIATELY, I WAS TOLD "AIRBAG DEPLOYED"... HOWEVER, IT DID NOT DEPLOY. I COULD SMELL SOMETHING, LIKE ELECTRICAL BURNING, BUT THE AIRBAGS STAYED INSIDE THEIR COMPARTMENT, OR WHATEVER.

I was driving in rush hour traffic on a freeway in Houston when the engine lost power and stalled out (50 mph) without warning. I had to remain on the freeway while cars whizzed past me. Car finally started back up after 30 minutes of trying. Vehicle only has 8800 miles on it and acted like it had run out of gas as it sputtered before dying. Engine light came on and remained on after it finally started back up. All fluids in range and was at 1/2 tank of gas. In process of diagnostics.

Car would stall suddenly mid intersection or street. There is an active recall for a fuel pump module with no known date of resolution. Fuel Pump Module would not provide adequate gas to the engine. This happened twice to me as I was driving on April 4th 2023. After speaking to Chevy & Dealership, there is not yet a fix to this problem. This car is UNSAFE and needs to be removed from the roads. I traded this car in, because I felt unsafe since Chevy could not help me.
