The contact owns a 2020 Chevrolet Equinox. The contact stated while his son was driving 60 MPH, the vehicle jerked and failed to accelerate as intended while depressing the accelerator pedal and stalled. No warning light was illuminated. The contact's son was able to coast to the side of the road. The contact's son called Roadside Assistance, who added gasoline to the vehicle, because the contact's son believed that was the cause of the failure. However, the vehicle failed to restart.
