| While sitting stopped at a traffic light yesterday, my brand new equinox just turned off. a co-worker with the same car (different model year) mentioned this happened to her two weeks prior to it happening to me. when i went online to research the issue, i was alarmed after locating multiple forums where equinox owners were having the same problem and looking for answers. the car has been shutting off without any warning, including while people are driving on the highway. this obviously is not an isolated issue as it is happening to people with various model years, and it could pose a serious problem on the highway. | |||
