Known issue of arabic language reset on engine start with this make/model infotainment system. (TSB 23-NA-118 / 23-NA-042). Causes language and user errors upon startup and causes the rear backup camera to not engage properly every time, creating a safety issue when reversing. With the user’s language not saving, it creates a safety issue because the warnings are in a language that the user cannot understand on startup.

While driving vehicle during afternoon traffic, the vehicle started to sputter then die in the middle of the road, I tried restarting the vehicle, it would crank but would not start. I pushed the vehicle off the road and called a wrecker. I had the vehicle towed to the dealership for repair. After two days, they informed me that the fuel pump control module failed and would have to be replaced for approximately $600 I had no choice but to ok the charges, I spoke to the service manager because this part should be covered under the vehicle emissions warranty, but they said no, I did some further checking and it appears this part was a recall item! I contacted GM customer support and even after acknowledging the issue but stated it wasnt for our vehicle even though it was the same part and year.
While operating our vehicle on traveling at approx. 45 mph during mid-day traffic, the engine on our vehicle died and would not restart. we had no power steering and had to wrestle the vehicle off the road The check engine light was on and we tried repeatedly to restart the engine without any luck. We had the vehicle towed to the dealership for diagnosis and repair, it was determined that a Fuel Pump Power Control Module had failed and that it would cost $599. to repair. We approved the repairs and then approached GM for reimbursement after discovering that this same part was recalled by GM Ref # N252516900 which covered the make, model and year of our vehicle. We contacted GM customer relations and after speaking with them multiple times they approved a partial adjustment on the bill for approximately $150. I explained that according to their campaign notice and ongoing issues with this component we wanted a full refund and would not accept a partial payment of 1/3 our cost. GM refuses to stand behind their product even though our vehicle only has 27,500 miles. I spoke with the service manager at the dealership, and he suggested I contact GM customer service and they should resolve the problem since this was an ongoing issue.
Car started fine, pulled it out of the garage, shut it off, went out to start it up two hours later, it started after cranking a bit but stalled, started for a quick second again but stalled again right away, just kept cranking as I tried it, the check engine light on, I put a code reader on and code told me it was the code for fuel pump module, my vehicle is a 2022 equinox and only has a little over 9300 miles on it. Definitely not something that should’ve happened with that low of miles but yet somehow my VIN was not included in a 2023 recall, I was told it wasn’t anyways!

The Fuel pump module was a recall under N222372310 - Safety Recall in 2023. This recall was complete by a dealership. The recall fuel pump module assembly It was replace July 2023 with part number Fuel Pump Module 84782007. On April 13, 2026 (33 months later) the car would not start, if it did start it was stall and die. When it also run rough if it would start, then die again. I had to have the car towed to the dealership. The dealership said the fuel pump module was out AGAIN! The exact same problem the first recall was suppose to correct did not solve the problem. At this time there is not a new recall on this matter. The part that replaced the original fuel pump module did not solve the problem. The replacement part appears faulty as well. Had my car ben in traffic or on the highway it is possible I would have lost all power to the car which could have resulted in crash.
While driving on the freeway at approximately 75 MPH my 2022 Chevrolet Equinox lost power, the engine stalled, and I was forced to pull over into a construction zone. The engine would not restart and the check engine indicator was on. OnStar messaged me via email that a fault P129F was detected. I had the vehicle towed to my home where I performed some additional diagnostics and determined that while similar to Product Safety Recall N222372310 Inadequate Fuel Pump Flow, the issue was not with the fuel pump but with the fuel pump controller module mounted under the vehicle. I replace the module with an official GM replacement module part number 13554821 which resolved the issue with the fuel system in my vehicle. I still have the faulty fuel pump controller module in my possession (see attached picture).
The vehicle's fuel pump failed. Like many 2022 Chevy Equinoxes, ours has a fuel pump that failed while on a road trip 10 hours from home. However, ours was also not part of the recall batch for failing fuel pumps. There were no warning lights or lamps or other signs, and at 27,000 miles, we would never expect for our fuel pump to fail. It seems quite clear that this is part of the overall failure of 2022 Chevy Equinox fuel pumps, and this batch should be included in the recall.
The infotainment system failed, and so did OnStar. The radio screen is blank and will not. Respond or turn on. There is no sound, the usb charger is not operational and OnStar is not working.

Engine stalled possibly due to a faulty fuel pump. I was able to drive the vehicle without issue until I pulled up to my house, when the engine stalled. No warning signs prior to the incident. Proceeded to put the vehicle in park and start the engine again. The engine had trouble starting again, sputtering even when the gas pedal was pressed (no response to the gas pedal). No sound comes from the fuel pump when trying to start. Battery in good condition. Lucky vehicle did not stall while driving down the road at 60 mph. Vehicle will have to be towed to a mechanic.
