My 2022 Chevrolet Equinox lost power on two different occasions. The first time I was driving at 45 mph and the car stalled to a stop and would not restart and had to be towed. It had 816 miles on it. The repair sheet stated that it was a fuel pump control module internal fault. The fuel pump control module was replaced. At 8,401miles, the car did the same, but I was on a four-lane highway driving 65mph with the cruise control on and it lost power, stalled and I coasted to a stop and it would not re-start. After being stranded on the side of the highway for almost 2 hours, it was towed. This time the repair stated that it was due to an internal short in the driver. I was fortunate that I was not in heavy traffic or someone would have crashed into me. There were no warnings until the power cut out and the display indicated "low engine power". This is extremely dangerous and I am afraid it will happen again and I may not be in an area where I can navigate to the side of the road. This defect in the fuel system is a danger to me and other drivers. I contacted Chevrolet Customer Service but was told they can only be of assistance after the problem occurs 3 times. Even though the dealer said the problem was not the same problem, it was a problem with the fuel system.
