What 2015 Chevrolet Equinox owners report most

Engine complaints are nearly as common, with owners reporting sudden, complete loss of power while driving — including steering, lights, and accessories — requiring a restart to recover. Electrical system and powertrain complaints round out the picture, involving unexpected automatic braking events and vehicle movement without driver input.
