“My car threw on the check engine light and a note flashed on the screen and car just slowed down immediately. I had to press on the brakes really hard to get it home and then the transmission wouldn’t go in reverse. I took it to the dealer and they couldn’t duplicate the problem but said the battery contacts weren’t tight.”
NHTSA complaint #11706213, filed 2025-12“Almost every time I fill up with gas ( I use top tier like the manual states), once I start driving, it feels like it misfires or jerks. It will do it one/ two times and then it’s fine… until I fill up with gas again. It’s been doing this since I got the vehicle- no indicator lights on.”
NHTSA complaint #11717321, filed 2026-02“While driving my Equinoix EV I lost propulsion and the dashboard started flashing. I could coast to curb lane. When fully stopped I turned the car off and on again and propulsion resumed. I have taken it in to the dealership and they said they see no error message and I should continue driving to see if it reoccurs. They suggested I keep cloth to wipe off windshield where sensors are in case it was obscured. This happened in clear weather.”
NHTSA complaint #11712725, filed 2026-01“check engine light keeps coming on for emissions system. When I take it to Bergstrom Dealership they tell me they are not sure how to fix the problem.”
NHTSA complaint #11700196, filed 2025-11“Returning home on I-40 on Sunday, the engine just quit working. Fortunately it WAS Sunday and the traffic was light. Had there been more traffic, someone probably would have hit me from the rear. We managed to get it almost all of the way off the road before it stopped. According to the dealership that worked on it, it was the fuel supply service module, $46.09 part. The service technician said they had been having a lot of problems like this and knew what to do. All of the code were lost because to tow truck driving had to take the leads off of the battery. …”
