Of the 26 fuel system complaints filed for the 2022 Chevrolet Equinox, here's the actual mileage breakdown — failures cluster heaviest at 0-25,000 mi.
Each bar shows the share of total complaints filed at that mileage range. Peak failure window highlighted. Some owners report problems earlier; some make it well past 150,000 miles symptom-free. Maintenance habits and driving conditions shift the curve as much as mileage alone.
Among the 14 model years of Chevrolet Equinox in our records for fuel system problems, this one ranks #2 by owner-complaint volume.
An engine stall increases the risk of a crash.
Buyer takeaway: The 2022 Equinox fuel system has a widespread failure pattern involving fuel pump modules that stall the engine unpredictably, from idle to highway speeds, sometimes with no warning. Many owners find their VINs excluded from the known recall (Campaign 23V013000) despite having identical symptoms, and replacement parts have been difficult to obtain even after diagnosis.
Owners report the 2022 Chevrolet Equinox fuel system fails with loss of power and stalling at speeds ranging from idle to highway (80 MPH documented). Most failures occur between 2,000 and 50,000 miles. The vehicle either stalls without warning or with an illuminated check engine light, then refuses to restart or requires multiple restart attempts. Several owners report the STOP/START fuel saver mode was engaged during failure. A consistent thread across narratives: dealers and independent mechanics diagnose fuel pump module failure or fuel pump control module (FPCM) failure, often citing inadequate fuel flow. Many owners reference NHTSA Campaign 23V013000 (Fuel System, Gasoline) but find their VINs are not included in that recall—yet their vehicles exhibit identical symptoms. Some have had the fuel pump module replaced only to experience the same failure again within months or years. Several owners report parts remain on back order, preventing repairs. Check engine light activation (DTCs P129F fuel pump control module failure, P102B sensor circuit failure, and P1005 software error in fuel pump driver control module) is common when present. One owner had the module replaced twice; another experienced failures across multiple years (2022, 2023, 2025). Safety concern: loss of power while driving at speed with no warning.
Engine loses power and stalls while driving or idling. Vehicle fails to restart immediately or after multiple attempts. Some vehicles can be restarted but stall again after driving a short distance.
When: 2,000 to 90,000 miles; most common 3,000–50,000 miles. Failures occur at idle, low speed (5–45 MPH), and highway speeds (65–80 MPH).
Symptoms owners cite: Loss of motive power while driving; Engine stalls without warning or with illuminated check engine light; Vehicle fails to restart or requires multiple restart attempts; Check engine warning light illuminated (intermittent or persistent); Vehicle hesitation during acceleration; Abnormal sounds at startup; Sputtering at speed; 'Service vehicle now' or 'Do Not Drive' message displayed; STOP/START fuel saver mode engaged during failure
Codes mentioned: P129F (Fuel Pump Control Module failure), P102B (sensor circuit failure), P1005 (Software error in fuel pump driver control module)
Repairs/costs cited: Fuel pump module replacement. One owner had module replaced twice and failure recurred; another had parts on back order for four months. Multiple owners report replacement parts unavailable or on back order.
Recalls/TSBs owners mention: NHTSA Campaign 23V013000 (Fuel System, Gasoline). Many owners' VINs not included in recall despite identical symptoms. Dealers informed some owners parts unavailable for recall repair. Some owners referred to NHTSA hotline or advised to terminate lease. One manufacturer confirmed parts not available via VIN tool.
Vehicle diagnosed with inadequate fuel pump flow or fuel sensor failure rather than module failure, though underlying cause appears similar.
When: Approximately 10,000 miles and 4,936 miles (two instances).
Symptoms owners cite: Loss of power while driving; Stalling in roadway
Repairs/costs cited: One owner diagnosed with inadequate fuel pump flow; another with faulty fuel sensor requiring replacement. Parts reported unavailable.
