Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY filed October 21, 2021
NHTSA complaint #1774660 (ODI reference 11437634) concerns a 2018 CHEVROLET EQUINOX and was filed on October 21, 2021. The owner reports the failure occurred on October 12, 2021. The vehicle had 41,400 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to Connecticut based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as fuel system, gasoline:delivery, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same CHEVROLET EQUINOX cohort independently describe similar fuel system, gasoline:delivery failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2018 CHEVROLET EQUINOX shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
