Description of the problem	Briefly, for the last month and a half i have experienced rough idle on start and rough idle & stall with the car losing power and going dead at red lights and in traffic while in drive. I took the car to the auto mechanic and stored codes suggested replacing o2 sensors, the catalytic converter and a tune-up would resolve the issue; i replaced all of the above to the tune of 1400. 00; the issue of rough idling, stall & losing power, going dead at the light/ sitting in traffic has not resolved. The 2012 equinox is not safe to drive; it just keeps stalling and going dead/losing power while in drive. I have spent almost 1400. 00 trying to diagnose and fix this issue since december 1. My car does not have the cel but still idles roughly, stalls and loses power/stops randomly at red lights and in traffic. I have been unable to safely use the 2012 equinox for approximately three out of the four weeks of december. Out of frustration i googled my experiences with the car and discovered that this apparently is a common issue that was found in the 2011 model (see nhtsa id# 10430919; 10437891; 10499684 & 10413320. Recall#11195 & 12312. Bulletin #pi0562, pi0202a, pip4716 & pi0469). Apparently this issue was not fixed or addressed in subsequent models as i have been unable to locate a service bulletin or recall although my car a 2012 chevrolet equinox is having the same issue. The consumer should not have to pay 1,000
