There was no one behind me and I made it 100 ft to a driveway.  I was able to turn around and get car home.  Towed to Sonju, dealer where it was leased from.   Fixed by them and returned to regular use.   06/28/22, while driving on a Hwy 53, 45 mph zone, with no notice, engine went into reduced power mode.  I was almost hit due to the proximity of the car behind me and the sudden loss in power.  I managed to hit my hazards, pull into middle turn lane until traffic passed.  I then was able to get into a business parking lot.  I shut car off.  I made some phone calls.  Turned car back on, all was fine.  Back on the road.   No call to dealer.    07/08/22, engine in reduced power mode while I was only .5 miles from my house.  Made it to a turnaround point where I was able to turn vehicle off.  Called dealer to make appt for service.  Limped vehicle home.  Vehicle towed to Sonju for fix.    07/18/22, after fixed at dealership, it was picked up.  We made it 22 miles.  I was in a urban part of Duluth, MN-speed limit 30, heavy traffic.  As I turned to go up hill, engine again went into reduced power mode.  There is no shoulder for me to go to and I'm almost hit from behind as the car jerked and slowed.  I was able to pull off.  Shut car off.  When I started it up, it was still in reduced power mode.  As it had been 30 mins, traffic had subsided, I went another mile to my work, where car would be safe to sit.  Made arrangements for tow back to dealer.   07/19/22-towed to dealer after hours. When I moved it for better position for tow truck, the check engine light was on, but engine reduced power mode message never came on.    07/22/22-Per dealer, there is no explanation and thus far they can't figure it out.  They continue to drive it to recreate the issue, but no end in sight of when I will get this vehicle back.    07/26/22-no word from dealer-vehicle is still there.  I stopped bugging them!","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2019","productMake":"CHEVROLET","productModel":"EQUINOX","manufacturer":"General Motors, LLC"}]}]}
