2006 CHEVROLET EQUINOX Service Brakes Problems

BRAKE PEDAL STARTED VIBRATING ALMOST UNCONTROLLABLY WHEN ATTEMPTING TO STOP SO I HAD BRAKE PADS REPLACED. WHEN I PICKED UP THE CAR THE TECHNICIAN TOLD ME MY PADS WERE STILL GOOD AND HADN'T NEEDED CHANGING BUT THEY CHANGED ANYWAY. THE NEXT SHOP RESURFACED MY ROTORS BUT THE PROBLEM PERSISTED. IT STOPPED ON IT'S OWN BUT EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE IT WILL DO IT STILL.

CAR WAS IN MOTION TRIED TO STOP AT LIGHT OR STOP SIGN REALLY HAD TO PUMP BRAKE LIGHT WENT ON TC / TBS. IF CARS WERE CLOSE BY THEY WOULD HAVE HIT ME OR I HIT THEM.HAVE CLEANED MODULE, CHANGED BRAKES, CHANGED OTHER PARTS IN WHEELS. WORK A LITTLE WHILE THEN GOES BACK TO LIGHTS TURNING ON TC / TBS

WHEN PRESSING ON THE BRAKE PEDAL YOU GET CONSTANT VIBRATION CAUSING YOU TO SKID. IT HAPPENS WHEN YOUR GOING STRAIGHT OR TURNING WHEN YOU PRESS ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. IT ALMOST CAUSED ME TO SKID INTO THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. AND ALSO DEFROST IS NOT WORKING CAUSING VISIBILITY ISSUES ESPECIALLY IN THE COLD AND SNOW.

Mileage: 172,000

FRONT BRAKE CALIPERS SEIZED UP. OVER-HEATING DUE TO EXCESSIVE FRICTION FROM BRAKES LOCKING. FRONT END STARTED SHAKING DUE TO FRONT END BRAKES SEIZING WHILE IN MOTION. FRONT CALIPERS SMOKING DUE TO EXCESSIVE FRICTION BUILD UP. I WAS ON US 265 IN NEW ALBANY, IN. SHAKING SEEMED TO SUBSIDE A BIT WHILE TURNING.

WHILE TURNING ON THE CAR AND DRIVING THE TC, BRAKE LIGHT, ABS, ENGINE, AND AIR BAG LIGHTS TURN ON AND THE CAR TURNS OFF BUT CONTINUES TO DRIVE. AS YOU DRIVE IT CONTINUES TO RING THE BELLS AND TURN ON OF THE OFF AND ON INCLUDING THE RADIO. YOU CAN ALSO PULL THE KEY OUT AND IT CONTINUES TO DRIVE. ALL THIS ON HIGHWAY AND CITY STREETS.

AS I WAS AT STOP LIGHT 3 DAYS AGO AND AT A LOW SPEED AND ABOUT TO STOP MY ABS BRAKING SYSTEM ACTIVATED WITHOUT ANY INDICATOR LIGHTS AND IN DOING SO IT RELEASED THE BRAKES EVEN THOUGH I WAS STILL PRESSING THEM. I AVOIDED HITTING THE CAR AHEAD OF BY SHOVING IT INTO PARK. IT DOES IT EVERY TIME I ATTEMPT TO STOP AND NOW HAVE TO USE MY EMERGENCY BRAKES TO ACTUALLY COME TO A COMPLETE STOP WHEN ABS ACTIVATES AND RELEASES BRAKES. DEALERSHIP RECOMMENDED I REPLACE MY FRONT BRAKES AND THEY TRIED TO SAY IT WAS ALSO THE TIRES. THEY WERE ABLE TO REPRODUCE IT BUT NEVER FIXED THE PROBLEM. THEY DID NOT LET ME KNOW IT WASN'T FIXED AND NEARLY ROLLED OUT ONTO A HEAVY TRAFFIC ROAD. I CALLED THEM AND INFORMED THEM WHAT HAD HAPPENED AND ASKED WHY THEY LET ME DRIVE A UNSAFE VEHICLE BUT WHEN I ASKED THAT THEY REMOVE THE FUSE FOR THE ABS SYSTEM UNTIL I CAN FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG. THEY SAID THAT WAS UNSAFE AND NOT LEGAL FOR THEM TO REMOVE THE FUSE. I ASKED POHANKA CHEVY HOW IS THAT ANY MORE OR LESS UNSAFE THEN NO BRAKES TO STOP. IT IS THE ABS BRAKING SYSTEM THAT IS FAILING FOR SOME REASON AND WHY HASN'T THIS BEEN RECALLED TO FIX. POHANKA ONLY OFFERED A APOLOGY BUT WILL NOT FIX OR HELP AND I NOW HAVE A UNSAFE VEHICLE THAT COULD FAIL ME AND CAUSE ME TO HAVE A ACCIDENT. I SPENT $785.41 AND THEY DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE. I HAVE ALSO REPORTED THEM TO MY STATE ATTORNEY GENERAL'S CONSUMER DIVISION OFFICE. I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE FOR 12 YEARS AND I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF IT. NEVER HAD THIS KIND OF PROBLEM UNTIL 3 DAYS AGO. DO A RECALL ON THIS ABS BRAKING SYSTEM!

BRAKES LOCKING IN THE 20-35 MPH RANGE. LOCKS WHILE SLOWING DOWN AND VAN SMELLS VEHICLE GETTING HOT. HAVE TAKEN TO A FIRESTONE AND CHEVY DEALER AND COMPLETED ALL SUGGESTED REPAIRS, ALTHOUGH NO ONE WAS ABLE TO GIVE ME A DEFINITIVE REASON TO THE BRAKES LOCKING. REPAIRS DID NOT FIX BRAKE LOCKING ISSUE.

AT A LOW SPEED BRAKES WERE APPLIED AND THE CAR CONTINUED TO MOVE FORWARD WITHOUT STOPPING. IT SEEMED AS IF THE ABS SYSTEM ENGAGED. NO BRAKES AS MY CAR CONTINUED TO MOVE FORWARD AT THIS LOW SPEED EVENTUALLY REAR ENDING ANOTHER CAR AS MINE NEVER STOPPED. THE BRAKES HAD JUST BEEN REPLACED 2 YEARS PRIOR. I HAD THIS CAR CHECKED SEVERAL TIMES FOR THIS SAME INCONSISTENT BRAKE ISSUE BUT NOTHING WAS NEVER FOUND. AT TIMES THERE WOULD BE A GRINDING NOISE WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES AND MY FOOT WOULD JUST GO TO THE FLOOR WITH NO STOPPING. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED THAT GM HAS NEVER ADDRESSED THIS ISSUE. I HAVE SPENT SO MUCH MONEY OVER THE YEARS TO TRY AND ADDRESS THE ISSUE AND NO MECHANIC COULD EVER FIGURE IT OUT. NOW MY CAR IS TOTALED AND I HAVE AN INSURANCE BILL THAT IS NOT ONLY COSTLY BUT NOT FAIR. GM SEEMS TO HAVE TAKEN NO ACCOUNTABILITY AND I JUST HOPE NO ONE ENDS UP HURT. I CAN'T EVEN IMAGINE IF I WAS TRYING TO STOP AT A CROSSWALK WHAT MAY HAVE HAPPENED. I WAS BORROWING MY GRANDFATHERS CAR AND FEEL TERRIBLE.

WITHIN THE LAST MONTH WHILE I AM DRIVING MY TRUCK WOULD JUST CUT OFF WITH OUT ANY WARNING IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. I HAVE HAD A TUNE UP, THE LEFT WHEEL BARRING CHANGED, FRONT STRUTS DONE AND I HAVE JUST BROUGHT A PCM. MY ABS AND TC LIGHTS STAYS ON AND MY MECHANIC CAN NOT EXPLAIN WHY IT KEEPS CUTTING OFF. I HAVE CHECKED FOR RECALLS FOR THIS YEAR AND THERE ARE NONE LISTED; HOWEVER, I HAVE SEEN SOME ON THE NHTSA SERVICE BULLETIN. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE ASSIST ME THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS!!!!

A FEW WEEKS AGO WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLES ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS CAME ON, RIGHT AFTER THAT THE BRAKES HAVE STARTED MAKING A LOUD GRINDING NOISE OR LOCK UP ALTOGETHER TO WHERE I CAN'T STOP. I HAVE DONE PLENTY OF RESEARCH OVER THIS AND IT SEEMS TO BE A RECURRING THING WITH THESE VEHICLES. IF EVERYONE OF THEM IS HAVING THIS ISSUE AND THE BRAKES ARE THAT DANGEROUS, HOW HAS THERE NOT BEEN A RECALL. THIS HAPPENS EVERYTIME I DRIVE, WHETHER GOING DOWN AN INTERSTATE AND HAVING TO HOT MY BRAKES TO JUST DRIVING IN A SMALL TOWN, THEN WHEN I TRY AND GO AGAIN THEY MAKE THE GRINDING NOISE WHILE DRIVING FOR A MINUTE.

Mileage: 190,000

I FEEL THIS VEHICLE IS A DANGER, WHEN I BROUGHT THIS VEHICLE JUST GAVE ME A PROBLEM, WHEN I GO RUNNING THE CAR IT GOES AWAY AND I FEEL SCARED, THE LIGHTS NEVER TURN OFF AND I FIXED EVERYTHING, ALWAYS HAS NOISE WHEN THE VEHICLE IS RUNNING IN THE STREET. ME REGRET HAVING BOUGHT IT.

BOUGHT MY 06 EQINOX IN MAY OF 2015. DAY 2, BATTERY DIED. DEALER PUT NEW BATTERY IN. NEXT WEEK, BATTERY DEAD AND TOOK OUT STEREO WITH IT. DEALER REPLACED BATTERY AND STEREO. NOW HAVING TROUBLE STARTING AGAIN. HAVE REPLACED BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS TWICE ON REAR WHEELS AND FRONT ONCE. CAR MAKES GRINDING NOISE STILL WHEN BACKING WITH FOOT ON THE BRAKE. ABS AND TC LIGHTS CAME ON MAY OF 2017. HAD CHECKED OUT AND NEEDED FRONT RIGHT WHEEL SPEED SENSOR REPLACED. REPLACED IT AND LIGHT STAYED ON. HAD IT RECHECKED AND IT STILL READS THE SAME. NO BRAKES. PEDAL STUTTERS ON THE WAY DOWN AND THEN HAS TO BE FORCED DOWN THE REST OF THE WAY TO STOP THE CAR. HAD MECHANIC LOOK AT IT AND WAS TOLD TO REPLACE ABS MODULE. WE DID AND I FINALLY HAVE BRAKES AGAIN BUT NOW MY BREAK LIGHT IS ON ALONG WITH THE ABS/TC LIGHTS. CAR HAS SUNROOF. HAD CAR 2 YEARS AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY BACK FLOOR IS FLOODED. THOUGHT THE KIDS SPILLED WATER. NOPE. SOAKED A BEACH TOWEL CLEANING IT UP. NEXT HARD RAIN, FLOODED AGAIN. LINES ARE CLOGGED AND BACKING UP INTO MY CAR. TWO BEACH TOWELS AND TWO GALLONS LATER OF WATER VACUUMED UP AND MY PADDING IS DAMP AND STILL STINKS LIKE MILDEW. THIS CAR IS BADLY DESIGNED. THE BRAKE SITUATION IS VERY DANGEROUS. LUCKILY THERE WAS AN EMPTY TURN LANE BESIDE ME WHEN IT RAINED OR I WOULD HAVE HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. THE BRAKE PEDAL WOULD GO TO THE FLOOR WHEN TURNING AND WOULDNT STOP ON STRAIGHTAWAYS. THE ELECTRICAL WIRING IN THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR IS JACKED UP TOO. CAN'T UNLOCK THE DOORS, TURN ON DOME LIGHT AND DOESN'T SHUT OFF RADIO.

Mileage: 165,000

WHILE ACCELERATING THE VEHICLE ISNT SHIFTING IN THE PROPER WAY IT SHOULD. THERE IS A CHAIN RATTLING KIND OF SOUND FROM THE ENGINE AS IT ACCELERATES, CLOSER TO THE DRIVER SIDE. WHILE BRAKING, THE BRAKES PADS ARE ALL NEW, IT WILL SOMETIMES MAKE A GRINDING SOUND AND HAVE LITTLE TO NO BRAKE RESISTANCE IF YOU HIT A BUMP. ALL IN A STRAIGHT MOTION.

ABS ENGAGES AT LOW SPEEDS, MAKES BRAKE PEDAL VERY DIFFICULT TO DEPRESS AND DIFFICULT TO STOP VEHICLE. (THIS OCCURS REGARDLESS OF TURNING/GOING STRAIGHT, AND HAPPENS RANDOMLY WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS PRESSED AND/OR WHEN IT'S RELEASED, AND SOMETIMES WHEN I'M NOT TOUCHING THE BRAKE PEDAL AT ALL.) THIS OCCURS DAILY, AND AFTER SOME TIME, THE ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL WARNING LIGHTS WILL COME ON IN THE DASHBOARD. ONCE THE WARNING LIGHTS ACTIVATE, THE PROBLEM GOES AWAY. SERVICED IN 4/2017 AT CERTIFIED GARAGE, AND WHEEL HUB ASSEMBLY WAS REPLACED. THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. ONLINE AUTO FORUM RESEARCH SHOWS MANY EARLY MODEL EQUINOX OWNERS EXPERIENCING THE SAME EXACT ISSUE, GOING ALL THE WAY BACK TO 2011. HTTPS://CHEVROLETFORUM.COM/FORUM/EQUINOX-23/2006-CHEVY-EQUINOX-LT-ABS-TRACTION-CONTROL-LIGHT-PROBLEMS-41758/ THE MAJORITY OF THE COMPLAINTS LIST A PIGTAIL WIRE HARNESS AS THE SOLUTION. CHEVROLET HAS NO RECALLS THAT I'VE FOUND - BUT CLEARLY THERE ARE A NUMBER OF EQUINOX OWNERS EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUES, WITH NO RESPONSE FROM CHEVROLET. I'VE BEEN FORTUNATE ENOUGH THAT THIS HASN'T CAUSED AN ACCIDENT YET... BUT I BELIEVE THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE EXAMINED BEFORE SOMETHING DESTRUCTIVE OR TRAGIC OCCURS. I WILL CONTINUE TO ATTEMPT TO HAVE THE ISSUE DIAGNOSED AT CERTIFIED ASE GARAGES.

WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT THE VEHICLE WITH 77,000 MILES, I NOTICE A GALLON OF WATER IN SPARE WHEEL WELL. HAD TO RESEAL REAR DOOR WHETHER STRIPE. 5 MONTHS LATER THE ACTUATOR OF THE HEATER FAILED AND BROKE THE BLEND DOOR TO THE HEATER. I DIDN'T HAVE HEAT FOR A YEAR. BRAKE SYSTEM SENSORS FAILED 3 MONTHS AGO $2000 FIXED HUB AND ASSEMBLY AND KNUCKLES. FUEL INJECTION LINE BROKEN AT ONLY 100,000 MILES.

MY WIFE AND I HAVE A 2006 CHEVY EQUINOX A FEW MONTHS AGO THE ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT REPEATEDLY STARTED COMING ON CAUSING THE BRAKE PEDAL TO PULSATE. I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC THEY REPLACED ALL OF THE HUB BEARINGS SEEING THE CODES WE PULLED THOSE THE LOCK RING WAS BAD. DID NO GOOD SCAN THE VEHICLE AGAIN DIFFERENT CODES CAME OUT. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM THAT I SEE MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING WITH THE EQUINOX THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL. I PLAN ON CONTACTING MY ATTORNEY TOMORROW TO SEE IF THERE'S ANYTHING HE CAN DO ABOUT IT I'M ALREADY $1,000 AND REPAIR OVER A PROBLEM THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED.

SOUNDS LIKE THE BRAKES GRINDING, STARTS UNSAFE STOPPING DISTANCE AND HAPPENS OUT OF BLUE, I HAVE TO CONSTANTLY KEEP TRYING TO PUSH THE BRAKES SO IT CAN STOP. AT TIMES BRAKES WILL ALSO BE HARD AS ROCK NO WARNING AND HAVE NO BRAKES AT ALL, BEEN HAPPENING OFF AND ON. ABS/TC LIGHTS ON, I WAS TOLD I NEEDED NEW HUB BEARING ASSEMBLY, ROTORS AND BRAKE PADS, ALL WAS CHANGED AND STILL NOT FIXED. I KEEP READING ABOUT A PIG TAIL HARNESS BUT DON'T KNOW THE CORRECT PART NUMBER OR ITS LOCATION. STARTED AROUND MARCH/2016 AND ITS ONGOING, ALMOST GOT HIT YESTERDAY BECAUSE THE TRUCK WOULDN'T BRAKE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. WHILE DRIVING AT SLOW SPEEDS WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL DEPRESSED, AN ABNORMAL NOISE WAS HEARD. THE BRAKES SEIZED AND THE ABS WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE WAS PERSISTENT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE CONTACT REPAIRED THE BRAKES, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 133,785.

MY CHEVY EQUINOX HAS BEEN IN TWO DIFFERENT SHOPS INCLUDING CHEVROLET NUMEROUS TIMES. I HAVE SPENT PLENTY OF MONEY. BUT, STILL HAVE A PROBLEM WITH ABS & TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS PERIODICALLY COMING ON AND WITH THE UNCERTAINTY THAT MY BRAKES ARE GOING TO WORK PROPERLY EVERY TIME I ATTEMPT TO DRIVE. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WITH THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS ON THIS EXACT PROBLEM WHY IS THERE NO RECALL? IT IS VERY UNSAFE. CHEVY HAS BEEN GUESSING AND JUST CHANGING DIFFERENT PARTS THAT DIDN'T NEED CHANGED. THEY EVEN TALKED TO CORPORATE OFFICE AND SAID THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT IT WAS FOR SURE. PLEASE TELL ME HOW THAT IS POSSIBLE? WHEN IT APPARENTLY ISN'T A ISOLATED INCIDENT. THEY ACTED LIKE THEY NEVER HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM. THIS SITE IS EVIDENCE ITS A PROBLEM! I WAS TOLD BY PERSON/PERSONS AT BOTH SHOPS IT WAS SAFE TO DRIVE. ARE THEY DRIVING THE SAME CAR I'M DRIVING? BECAUSE IT IS DEFINITELY NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. BRAKES LOCK UP RANDOMLY OR GRIND AS CAR CONTINUES TO MOVE FORWARD SEVERAL FEET EVEN ONCE BRAKES ARE APPLIED. IT MATCHES DESCRIPTION OF OTHER COMPLAINTS ALONG WITH THE PULSATION. I HAVE PROBABLY TEN DIFFERENT INVOICES BUT IT WON'T LET ME LOAD ALL OF THEM AND THE PROBLEM STILL REMAINS.

WE HAVE NOTICED THE ABS AND TC LIGHTS INTERMITTENTLY LIGHT UP ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL UPON BRAKING/TURNING TO THE LEFT, AS WELL AS, WHEN BRAKING/HITTING A BUMP OR ROUGH TERRAIN. WE HAVE TAKEN TO A MECHANIC TO BE TOLD THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO FIX ANYTHING TO DO WITH THIS; THAT THIS IS A DEALERSHIP ISSUE. THIS IS A CAUSE FOR CONCERN DUE TO THE FACT OUR 75 YEAR OLD MOTHER DOESN'T DRIVE IT ALL THE TIME; HOWEVER, WHEN SHE DOES DRIVE, WE ARE WORRIED FOR HER SAFETY AND OUR CHILDREN'S SAFETY WHEN THEY'RE WITH HER. I AM SHOCKED GM HAS NOT RECALLED THIS.

ABS ACTIVATION AT LOW SPEEDS ON DRY PAVEMENT. THIS HAPPENS RANDOMLY AND CHANGES THE VEHICLE BREAKING DISTANCE. IT IS ALSO UNKNOWN HOW MUCH IT WILL CHANGE THE DISTANCE. SO IT CAN POTENTIALLY CAUSE A LOW SPEED IMPACT ACCIDENT. THIS IS DUE TO NOT KNOWING WHERE TO BREAK FOR PROPER STOPPING DISTANCE. ENGINE PROBLEM WHEN STARTING VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE TURNS OVER THEN STALLS. ONLY WAY I HAVE FOUND TO PREVENT IT FROM HAPPENING IS TO PRESS THE GAS PEDAL WHILE TURNING IT OVER. WIPER ISSUE. MY PASSENGER SIDE WINDSHIELD WIPER DOESN'T WORK. I LIVE IN AN AREA WHERE HEAVY SNOW FALL HAPPENS. THIS IS A DANGER TO MYSELF AND OTHERS ON THE ROAD. IF MY VEHICLE IS ON THE ROAD DURING A BLIZZARD OR HEAVY SNOW VISIBILITY IS LOST ON HALF MY WINDSHIELD.

THE BRAKE PEDAL IS HARD AT TIMES AND HAVE GRINDING NOISE FROM BRAKE PEDAL AND IT PUSHES BACK AND IT HAS AND AND TRAC CONTROL LIGHT COMES ON

I AM SUBMITTING INFORMATION TO REPORT A SAFETY COMPLAIN IN REGARDS TO A 2006 CHEVY EQUINOX. I HAVE HAD BRAKES AND BRAKE PEDAL ISSUES FOR SEVERAL MONTHS NOW IN BOTH CITY AND HIGHWAY DRIVING. THE ISSUES OCCUR AT ATTEMPTING TO STOP AT STOP SIGNS AND STOP LIGHTS. THIS IS THE FIRST OF ANY MAJOR ISSUE WITH MY VEHICLE. MY ISSUES ARE BREAK RESISTANCE AND VIBRATIONS. ALONG WITH GETTING MY BRAKES AND ROTORS FIXED AND/OR CHANGED EARLIER IN THE YEAR, I STARTED FEELING BRAKE VIBRATIONS INITIALLY. AFTER GETTING THE ROTORS CHECKED, IT HAPPENED SOON AFTER AND "GRADUATED" TOWARDS A RESISTANCE WHERE I WAS UNABLE TO STOP OR SLOW DOWN UNLESS I PUMPED MY BREAKS REPEATEDLY TO RELEASE THE PEDAL LOCKING. I RECENTLY GOT MY LEFT FRONT SPEED SENSOR AND HUB ASSEMBLY REPLACED IN HOPES IT WOULD FIX THE ISSUE. 3-4 WEEKS LATER, THE RESISTANCES HAS SEEM TO GOT A LOT STRONGER/BIGGER. IT HAS ALMOST CAUSED ME SEVERAL ACCIDENTS AT THE STOP LIGHT AND I AM NOW TRYING TO SAVE TO GET THIS ISSUE FIXED AS I WAS QUOTED ABOUT $2K INITIALLY. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD TO ANY VEHICLE AND EQUINOX THAT HAS THIS ISSUE. I HAVE SAVED MYSELF FROM SEVERAL ACCIDENTS WITH QUICK AWARENESS AND ACTION AND BUT I AM NOT SURE HOW LUCKY OTHERS HAVE BEEN. THE RESISTANCE IN THE BREAKS AND VIBRATION IS VERY NOTICEABLE AND CONTINUOUSLY HAPPENS UNTIL THE ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS UP ON THE DASH BOARD INDICATING THEY ARE DEACTIVATED/DISABLED. THIS IS WHEN BRAKING BECOMES MUCH EASIER WITH LITTLE TO NO RESISTANCE AND VIBRATING. BETWEEN THE SPEED SENSOR, HUB ASSEMBLY, I HAVE SPENT JUST OVER $1K IN EXPENSES AND THIS WILL CONTINUE TO RISE WITH THE NEXT REPAIR OF WIRE HARNESS AND/OR REPLACEMENT OF ABS SYSTEM IN HOPES IT CORRECTS THE ISSUE. PLEASE CONSIDER MY COMPLAINT IN HOPES OF RECALL TO PREVENT FURTHER ISSUES AND POTENTIAL ACCIDENTS TO INNOCENT PEOPLE.

I HAVE A 2006 EQUINOX WHICH I BOUGHT IN 2010. WHILE I HAD VARIOUS "OF AGE" REPAIRS, SUCH AS FUEL SYSTEM ISSUES AND A FAN MOTOR; WITH THE AGE AND MILEAGE, THEY SEEMED NORMAL. IN 2013 I REPLACED THE EGR VALVE AND TRANSMISSION SPEED SENSOR SIMULTANEOUSLY; AS THE CODE WAS FOR EGR, BUT WOULD ONLY INTERMITTENTLY KICK IN THE TSS CODE (THE CAR DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC 3 TIMES BEFORE I COULD GET THE CODE TO STAY SO WE COULD FIND THE PROBLEM). AMONG LOOKING ONLINE FOR THE PROBLEM, IT WAS COMMON, BUT MY DEALER WOULD NOT FIX WITHOUT THE CODE. JUNE, 2014, THE BRAKES STARTED PULSATING ON THE CAR IN LOW SPEEDS. I WOULD HAVE TO PUMP THE BRAKES TO GET IT TO STOP. TWICE, PUMPING THE BRAKES AT AN INTERSECTION FAILED, AND NEARLY RESULTED IN A WRECK WITH MY DAUGHTER IN THE CAR. THE ABS AND TC LIGHTS WOULD COME ON INTERMITTENTLY. I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC: HE EVALUATED EACH CONNECTION AND CLEANED THEM, WHERE THE ABS HARNESS CONNECTS TO THE MAIN HARNESS. HE FOUND NO DISCREPANCIES. AFTER 2 MORE MONTHS OF DANGEROUS DRIVING, AND A WHOLE NEW SET OF BRAKES (ALL 4), ONLINE RESEARCH PREVAILED ONCE AGAIN. THIS PROBLEM WAS COMMON; AND SUGGESTED A RATHER CHEAP FIX. THE 18 IN WIRE HARNESS FROM THE WHEEL SPEED SENSOR TO THE MAIN HARNESS HAD AN ISSUE. SURE ENOUGH I, A WOMAN, AFTER BEING TOLD THE DEALERSHIP DIDN'T CARRY THE PART, ORDERED IT ONLINE AND REPLACED IT IN 15 MINUTES. NO PROBLEMS SINCE THEN. MAY, 2015. WHAT APPEARED TO BE A THERMOSTAT ISSUE ENDED UP BEING A COOLANT RESERVOIR PROBLEM. THE RESERVOIR WAS BROKEN, WHERE THE PLASTIC NIPPLE THAT COMES OUT THE BOTTOM ATTACHES WITH THE HOSE. AFTER I CONTACTED ALL PARTS STORES IN THE AREA, I WAS TOLD WHILE IT WAS COMMON FOR CHEVROLET TRUCKS AND EQUINOX VEHICLES, THE EQUINOX PART WAS NO MADE AVAILABLE TO THE PARTS STORES. I HAD TO SPECIAL ORDER ONLINE, THANK GOODNESS IT WORKED.

WE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE USED FOR OUR COLLEGE STUDENT. WE BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE FROM SEEKER TOYOTA IN ST. ROBERT MO. TWO DAYS AFTER PURCHASE THE. BRAKE SYSTEM ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE LOCKED UP. THIS WAS SUPPOSEDLY INSPECTED BY THE DEALERSHIP. WE REPLACED THE CALIPERS, ROTORS, BRAKES PADS, AND THOUGHT THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED, LESS THAN 2 MONTHS LATER IT LOCKED UP AGAIN AND TRIED TO CATCH FIRE. NOW HAVE TO FIX AGAIN. THE HEATER STOPPED WORKING ABOUT A WEEK AFTER PURCHASE, THE CD PLAYER STOPPED WORKING THE DAY AFTER PURCHASE. WE WERE TOLD THERE WAS NO WARRANTY AFTER SPENDING NEARLY $5000 FOR THIS VEHICLE. WE FEEL LIKE WE WERE RIPPED OFF AND WHY ISN'T THE BRAKE PROBLEMS AND HEAT ISSUES NOT ON THE RECALL LIST. *TR

I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO TOW DIFFERENT GM DEALERS REGARDING ABS/TRACTION CONTROL ISSUES. I HAVE SPENT $1000.00 AND THE GM TECHNICIANS CANNOT CORRECT THE ISSUE. THEY HAVE REPLACED THE WHEEL SENSOR & THE HUB ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AND NOTHING SEEMS TO WORK. THE ABS SYSTEM IS CONSTANTLY ACTIVATING DURING NORMAL BRAKING/DRIVING AND SOME TIMES INTERFERES WITH STOPPING. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN FOR REPAIRS AT PORTER CHEVROLET, NEWARK, DELAWARE AND RECENTLY NUCAR CONNECTION IN NEW CASTLE, DELAWARE. THE LATEST REPAIR WAS DONE BY NUCAR, THE CAR WAS AT THE DEALER FORM AUGUST 29 TO SEPTEMBER 2ND, 2014. THE CAR IS A 2006 EQUINOX VIN [XXX].

WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK DRIVING ABOUT 25MPH AT APPROXIMATELY 100 FT FROM A STOP LIGHT I LIGHTLY TAPPED MY BRAKE. IMMEDIATELY MY ANTI LOCK BRAKE CAME ON AND THE VEHICLE WAS STILL MOVING AT THE SAME SPEED. I PRESS THE BRAKE ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE FLOOR AND THE CAR WOULD NOT STOP THE BRAKE COMPLETELY DISABLED . AS I GOT WITHIN ABOUT 30 FT OF THE RED LIGHT THE CAR STOPPED AND THE BRAKE WAS ENGAGED. IT WAS A DRY DAY THE ROAD WAS SMOOTH THERE IS NO REASON THE ANTI LOCK BRAKE SHOULD COME ON. TODAY 9/9/14 I PICKED UP MY DAUGHTER FROM SCHOOL . AS I PROCEEDED TO EXIT THE SCHOOL GOING ABOUT 10MPH THE ANTILOCK BRAKE CAME ON DISABLING THE BRAKE. I PRESS THE BREAK ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE FLOOR THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP. I PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND IT ROLLED AND CAME TO A STOP. IT'S VERY DRY AND THERE IS NO REASON WHY THE ANTI LOCK BRAKE SHOULD COME ON. I CALLED GENERAL MOTORS AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS CAR NEVER HAD ANY RECALLS AND THAT MY CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY THEREFORE IT'S MY RESPONSIBILITY TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. I TOLD THE REP THAT I WILL REPORT IT BECAUSE THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

AFTER STOPPING WHEN DRIVING LONGER DISTANCES THE FRONT LEFT BRAKE WOULD FAIL TO DISENGAGE, SO THAT THE BRAKE WOULD REMAIN ON WHEN TRYING TO DRIVE ON INTERSTATE. I TOOK IT TO A DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT CHECKED AND DISCOVERED THAT THE BRAKE LINE WAS COLLAPSING WHEN HOT PREVENTING BRAKE FLUID TO BRAKE. THE LEFT ONE WENT BAD FIRST, BUT BY THE TIME I FOUND OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS I HAD TO HAVE THE ROTOR, CALIPER AND PADS ALL REPLACED ALSO. AFTER IT WAS REPLACED EVERYTHING WAS GREAT FOR ABOUT 30 DAYS AND THEN THE RIGHT ONE STARTED HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. SO I HAD THE RIGHT BRAKE LINE REPLACED IMMEDIATELY AND IT CORRECTED THE PROBLEM WITH NO ADDITIONAL COSTS. WE HAD A VERY RAINY SPRING SO AS LONG AS THERE WAS WATER ON THE ROAD THE BRAKE WOULD FUNCTION PROPERLY BECAUSE THE WATER WOULD KEEP IT COOL, BUT ON DRY DAYS IT WOULD STICK. IT FINALLY GOT TO THE POINT THAT IT WAS JUST STUCK ALL THE TIME NO MATTER WHAT THE WEATHER WAS. IT WAS THE FIRST TIME I HAD EVER HEARD OF A BRAKE LINE COLLAPSING SHUT... THE VEHICLE HAD 69,000 MILES ON IT WHEN PURCHASED IT NOW HAS 82,000 MILES AND THE STARTER JUST STARTED STICKING A FEW DAYS AGO WHEN ATTEMPTING TO START IT. I STILL LOVE THE WAY IT HANDLES AND DRIVES THOUGH. *TR

THE ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL DASH LIGHTS COME ON. TURNING OFF THE ENGINE AND RESTARTING IT OCCASIONALLY FIXES THE PROBLEM. AFTER A FEW WEEKS THE LIGHTS BECOME PERSISTENT AND SHUTTING OFF AND RESTARTING THE ENGINE NO LONGER FIXES THE PROBLEM. SOMETIMES WHEN DRIVING AROUND 10-15 MPH, THE BRAKES ARE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO PUSH AND STOPPING THE CAR BECOMES A FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCE. I HAD MY MECHANIC REPLACE THE ENTIRE ABS HUB ASSEMBLY AND THAT FIXED THE PROBLEM FOR ABOUT A MONTH. THE PROBLEM HAS NOW RETURNED AND IS WORSE THAN BEFORE. *TR

THE ABS AND T/C LIGHTS COME ON AFTER DRIVING. IF THE CAR HAS BEEN TURNED OFF, AND YOU TURN THE CAR BACK ON, THE LIGHTS WILL NOT COME ON WHILE DRIVING AROUND OR UNDER 10MPH, BUT THE SYMPTOMS ARE THAT THE BRAKES WILL GRIND AND BE VERY HARD TO PUSH, VERY DANGEROUS WHEN BRAKING BEHIND SOMEBODY WAITING TO PULL OUT OF A DRIVEWAY INTO A BUSY INTERSECTION. AFTER ACCELERATING TO 20MPH OR FASTER, THE BRAKE ISSUE MIGHT GO AWAY, BUT THE ABS/TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS WILL COME ON. THE PROBLEM IS KNOWN FOR THE 2006 CHEVY EQUINOX TO BE AN ISSUE WITH THE PIGTAIL WIRING HARNESS. I URGE YOU TO REVIEW THE FORUM DOCUMENTING THESE ISSUES AT HTTP://CHEVROLETFORUM.COM/FORUM/EQUINOX-23/2006-CHEVY-EQUINOX-LT-ABS-TRACTION-CONTROL-LIGHT-PROBLEMS-41758/ FOR SUPPORTING EVIDENCE. CHEVROLET IS CHARGING PEOPLE FOR REPAIRS OF UNNECESSARY PARTS IN ORDER TO MAKE MONEY WHILE THEY KNOWINGLY KNOW THE ISSUE DESERVES A RECALL. *TR

WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKE, IT PULSATED AND THE ABS/TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON. WE TOOK IT TO THE CHEVROLET DEALER WE PURCHASED IT FROM FOR REPAIR. THEY REPLACED THE LEFT FRONT WHEEL SPEED SENSOR/HUB ASSEMBLY AND THE FRONT BRAKE PADS AND RESURFACED THE ROTORS. APPROXIMATELY ONE WEEK LATER, THE SAME ISSUE OCCURRED AGAIN WITH THE ABS/TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT ON AGAIN. THE ABS/TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT IS ON. AS YOU BRAKE, THE BRAKES PULSATE LIKE THEY ARE TRYING TO ADJUST THEMSELVES. THIS IS SCARY AS YOU FEAR YOU ARE NOT GOING TO STOP OR REAR END SOMEONE EVERY TIME YOU DRIVE THE VEHICLE. WE NEED TO TRADE THIS VEHICLE IN, BUT WHO WANTS SOMETHING CHEVROLET WON'T OR CAN'T FIX? *TR

PROBLEM WITH ABS SYSTEM. WHEN STOPPING AT LOW SPEEDS ( 5MPH) THE ABS SYSTEM ENGAGES EVERY TIME. WE HAVE HAD ALL BRAKE PADS, SHOES, ROTORS, AND DISC REPLACED. STILL HAVE THE PROBLEM. HAVE SEEN A LOT OF THE SAME ISSUES APPEARING ON INTERNET FORUMS. AS THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE HOW MANY COMPLAINTS DO WE NEED BEFORE A RECALL IS ISSUED. WILL IT TAKE A DEATH? SINCE G.M. HAS SO MANY RECALLS NOW WHY NOT INCLUDE THIS. *TR

ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS DASH BOARD INDICATORS CAME ON AND THE ABS BRAKES BEGAN TO PULSE SUDDENLY. THE PULSING WOULD HAPPEN AT ANY TIME (DRY OR WET SURFACE AND AT ANY SPEED). WHEN VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED, THE ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL DASH LIGHTS WOULD BE OFF BUT WOULD LIGHT UP AGAIN IN A SHORT WHILE. TOOK VEHICLE TO FIRESTONE. FIRST, ONE SET OF HUB BEARINGS WAS REPLACED. WHEN THAT DIDN'T SOLVE THE PROBLEM, THE OTHER SET OF HUB BEARINGS WERE REPLACED. THAT DIDN'T SOLVE THE PROBLEM EITHER, SO BOTH SETS WERE REPLACED AGAIN IN CASE OF A FAULTY PART. THAT STILL DIDN'T SOLVE THE PROBLEM, SO THE ELECTRICAL WAS REWIRED. THIS WORKED FOR ABOUT 2 WEEKS BUT NOW THE LIGHTS ARE LIT AND THE BRAKES ARE PULSING AGAIN. I HAVE BEEN ON AN UNOFFICIAL CHEVROLET FORUM AND IT SEEMS THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM WITH THE EQUINOX. WHAT IS CHEVY DOING TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM AND WHY HASN'T A RECALL BEEN ISSUED? *TR

WE HAVE HAD REPETITIVE PROBLEMS WITH THE ABS BRAKES KICKING IN AND THE VEHICLE NOT WANTING TO STOP. HAVE HAD IT SERVICED 3 TIMES IN 4 MONTHS. (HAVE ONLY OWNED THE CAR FOR 6 MONTHS). REPLACED BOTH FRONT WHEEL ABS SENSORS AND THE LAST TIME THE ABS CONTROL MODULE WAS REPLACED AND NOW IT IS DOING THE SAME THING AGAIN. IT IS A PERSISTENT PROBLEM BUT THE SENSOR LIGHTS ONLY COME ON INTERMITTENTLY. WE HAVE NOT EVEN PUT 3000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE SINCE WE HAVE OWNED IT. FROM LOOKING ONLINE WE HAVE FOUND THAT WE ARE ONE OF MANY PEOPLE THAT HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE. WHEN IT IS DEALING WITH A BRAKE ISSUE I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT CHEVY HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL. WE ALSO HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THE IGNITION WHEN YOU TURN IT OVER IT CONTINUES TO TRY TO START AFTER IT IS RUNNING. THE ONLY WAY TO MAKE IS STOP IS TO STEP ON THE GAS. AGAIN BY LOOKING ONLINE I SEE THAT THIS TOO IS A CONSISTENT PROBLEM. I REALLY LIKE THE CAR BUT AT THIS POINT I AM SO FRUSTRATED WITH TAKING IT INTO THE SHOP ALL OF THE TIME AND HAVING THEM NOT BE ABLE TO TELL ME WHAT NEEDS DONE TO FIX IT. *TR

ONE DAY I NOTICED THE BRAKES WERE HARDER THAN NORMAL TO PUSH TO STOP THE CAR AND THEN MY ABS/TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS WOULD COME ON, WHEN THEY DID THE CAR WOULD BRAKE FINE. THIS NOW HAPPENS ON A DAILY BASIS. SOMETIMES THE LIGHTS COME ON AS SOON AS I START THE CAR AND SOMETIMES IT TAKES A FEW MINUTES OF DRIVING FOR THE LIGHTS TO COME ON, UNTIL THEY DO, BRAKING IS SCARY. BOTH FRONT HUBS, BOTH FRONT SENSORS, ROTORS AND PADS HAVE BEEN REPLACED AND STILL ABS/TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT COMING ON. ALSO HAD ALL FOUR TIRES AIR PRESSURE CHECKED. ALL OF THIS WORK HAS BEEN PERFORMED BY A LICENSED MECHANIC AND HE IS NOW STUMPED. I HAVE BEEN READING OTHER COMPLAINTS ON DIFFERENT SITES WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND NO RESOLUTION. *TR

I HAVE HAD ALL KIND OF TROUBLE OUT OF THIS VEHICLE. FIRST IT WAS THE WHEEL BEARINGS. CHANGE ONE AN NOT LONG AFTER HAVE TO CHANGE ANOTHER. HAVE CHANGED ABOUT 4. THREE ON ONE WHEEL AN ONE ON THE OTHER. AND NOW HAVE TO CHANGE ANOTHER THAT I CAN TELL. THEN IT STARTED WITH BRAKES RECENTLY. THEY WOULD STICK. HAD BRAKES REPLACED THAT DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM. BRAKE LIGHTS CAME ON VEHICLE. THEN WENT OFF HAVEN'T CAME ON SINCE BUT BRAKES HAVE STUCK MORE THAN ONE TIME. VERY DANGEROUS. NOW TO GET WITH THE AIR IN THE VEHICLE THAT I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL COMPLAIN ABOUT. WHILE CAR IS SITTING STILL THE VEHICLE WILL STAY WARM AN WARM AIR BLOWING OUT. WHERE IT HAS BEEN COLD WHEN DRIVING THE CAR THE TEMP WOULD GO DOWN ON VEHICLE MAKING THE AIR BLOW OUT COOL AN I ABOUT FREEZE TO DEATH DRIVING. WINDOWS FOG UP FAST. NEED A RECALL IF SO MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVE THE SAME ISSUE/ISSUES. CAN CAUSE MAJOR PROBLEMS IF NOT ADDRESSED OR FIXED. I DON'T LET ME KIDS RIDE IN THE CAR WITH ME ANYMORE CAUSE OF THIS. *TR

WHILE DRIVING, EITHER JUST GETTING INTO THE CAR AND PULLING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE OR HAVING DRIVEN FOR A DISTANCE, WHEN PUSHING ON THE BREAKS TO STOP THE VEHICLE, THEY GRIND AND THE CAR DOESN'T STOP. SOMETIMES, THERE IS JUST A GRINDING SOUND AND I DON'T BOTHER PUSHING ON THE BREAKS BECAUSE I KNOW THAT THEY WILL NOT WORK. I TOOK IT TO A SHOP AND WAS TOLD THAT MY BREAKS LOOKED FINE. I WILL DRIVE FOR A WHILE AND IT MAY NOT HAPPEN AGAIN FOR DAYS. THEN IT STARTS UP AGAIN....THE GRINDING. IT IS SOMETIMES ACCOMPANIED BY THE TC AND/OR THE ABS LIGHT ILLUMINATING ON THE DASHBOARD. ONCE I CUT THE CAR OFF AND RESTART, THE LIGHT(S) MAY GO OUT. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR INTO THE SHOP (BOTH A DEALER REPAIR AND AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP) AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY COULDN'T TELL WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. THEY HAVE MENTIONED THAT THE ISSUE COULD BE ELECTRICAL, BUT NONE CAN CONFIRM. RESEARCH ON THIS SITE CONFIRMS THAT IT IS NOT JUST MY VEHICLE. I DO REGULAR MAINTENANCE ON MY VEHICLE AND YET THIS STILL HAPPENED. CHEVY NEEDS TO TAKE A LOOK AT THIS AND PROVIDE A SOLUTION. THIS IS DANGEROUS. *TR

MY FRONT DRIVERS SEATBELT WOULD NOT RELEASE THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES IN THE LAST COUPLE WEEKS. I HAVE ALSO HAD PROBLEMS WITH BEARINGS HAD TO HAVE THEM REPLACED. ALSO WITH THE STEERING WHEN DRIVING IT HAS A MIND OF ITS OWN WHEN I CHANGE LANES WANTS TO KEEP GOING TOWARD THE DITCH.WHY ISN'T ANY OF THIS BEING ADDRESSED BY CHEVROLET I BOUGHT THIS CAR BECAUSE OF NO RECALLS BUT APPARENTLY CHEVY DOESN'T WANT TO FIX THESE ISSUES AND IT COULD KILL SOMEONE !!

I WAS TRAVELING AT ABOUT 40 MPH DOWN A MAIN ROAD, WHEN I TRIED TO STOP AT A RED LIGHT. UPON PRESSING THE BRAKE, THE WHOLE BRAKE SYSTEM LOCKED UP, AND THERE WAS RESISTANCE. I SWERVED TO AVOID THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME, AND RAN INTO A MAILBOX ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. PRIOR TO THIS, MY CAR EXPERIENCED OVERHEATING AND SMOKE THAT BLOCKED MY VIEW, AND I WAS TOLD THAT I HAD A BLOWN HEAD GASKET. I AM MENTIONING THIS BECAUSE I SEE THAT OTHERS HAD THE SAME ISSUE.

I AM THE OWNER OF A 2006 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. BEGINNING IN FEBRUARY OF 2013, NOTICED THAT ABS AND TC LIGHT WERE COMING ON WHILE DRIVING, AND THAT FRONT BRAKES HAD CRUNCHING AND GRINDING SOUND, AND WOULD JAM WHEN BRAKES WERE HIT. HAD FRONT BRAKE REPLACED, AND NEW TIRES PUT ON, AND STILL HAD THE SAME PROBLEM HAPPENING. TOOK IT TO DAN VADEN DEALERSHIP ON FEB 26, 2013, WAS INFORMED THAT THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. ON MARCH 6, 2013 WHILE PRESSING BRAKES THEY JAMMED, AND HAD TO PULL VEHICLE OFF ROAD NOT TO HIT VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. ON MARCH 7, 2013 TOOK VEHICLE BACK TO DAN VANDEN DEALERSHIP, THEY SAID THEY REPLACED THE LEFT FRONT HUB ASSEMBLY FOR A CHARGE OF 593.28 (LABOR AND OTHER FEES). WHEN I PICKED THE VEHICLE UP THAT EVENING AND DROVE 1/2 MILE THE ABS AND TRACKING LIGHT CAME BACK ON WHILE DRIVING. DROVE VEHICLE BACK TO DEALERSHIP. I WAS GIVEN A COURTESY VEHICLE FOR A WEEK UNTIL THEY COULD FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS WRONG. IT IS NOW JUNE AND I AM EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM OF THE ABS AND TC LIGHT COMING ON, AND BRAKES JAMMING. I HAVE ALSO SEEN ALOT OF COMPLAINTS ON GOOGLE REGARDING THIS PROBLEM WITH THE SAME VEHICLE. WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY THIS PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN REPORTED. *TR

I HEARD A THUMPING NOISE FROM WHAT FELT LIKE UNDER MY FEET. I THEN TRIED TO PUSH ON THE BRAKES, ONLY HAVING THE PEDAL GIVE A GREAT AMOUNT OF RESISTANCE WITH LOUD ABS NOISES. IT WILL CONTINUE DOING THIS UNTIL BOTH MY TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT AND ABS LIGHT COME ON. I HAD MY BRAKES CHECKED AND THEY SAID EVERYTHING WAS GOOD. AND OF COURSE IT WAS OUT OF MY 50000 MILE WARRANTY. I STILL DRIVE CAUTIOUSLY AND TRY TO GET THE LIGHTS ON AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE WHEN DRIVING MY CHILDREN AROUND SO THAT WE AREN'T SERIOUSLY INJURED. NOT UNTIL I STARTED RESEARCHING THE PROBLEMS I'M HAVING WITH THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE DID I REALIZE I WASN'T THE ONLY ONE. THE BRAKES ARE THE FIRST TO MENTION...THEN THERE'S THE AC/HEATER PROBLEM IT WON'T BLOW HOT AIR, AND IT WON'T BLOW COOL AIR WHEN STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT. THEN THAT LOUD CLUNKING NOISE MADE WHEN I'M DRIVING OVER BUMPS THAT SOUND LIKE MY FRONT END IS GOING TO FALL OFF. OH AND THE FACT THAT MY SPEEDOMETER WILL ONLY INCREASE BY 3-5 MPH INCREMENTS. THE DEALER SAID THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG, AFTER GETTING A SPEEDING TICKET BY A CAMERA LIGHT IT WAS TAKEN INTO A SPEED SHOP WHO VERIFIED ITS ABSOLUTELY NOT WORKING CORRECTLY. THEY COULDN'T EVEN GIVE ME A READING BECAUSE ITS BROKEN. NICE!!!!! SERIOUSLY IS SOMEONE GOING TO HAVE TO DIE, OR SERIOUSLY INJURED BEFORE SOMEONE STEPS UP AND TAKES RESPONSIBILITY? *TR

I WOULD PRESS THE BRAKE AND IT FELT LIKE THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE WAS ENGAGED. AFTER A FEW TIMES, THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON THE DASHBOARD. IN OCTOBER 2012, I TOOK IT TO A CHEVROLET DEALER TO GET IT DIAGNOSED AND FIXED. THEY REPLACED THE LEFT FRONT ABS SENSOR. THEN I WENT FOR ALMOST A MONTH WITHOUT AN INCIDENT AND NOW IT HAS STARTED AGAIN. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER, THIS LAST WEEK OF NOV. 2012, AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY WILL NOT REPLACE THE SENSOR BECAUSE THE ABS LIGHT IS NOT ON, AND THAT THEY ARE NOT JUST GOING TO TEAR INTO EVERYTHING BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT SURE WHAT IS WRONG. I AM WORRIED ABOUT MY SAFETY OF MYSELF AND THOSE WITH WHOM I TRAVEL. *TR

WHEN DRIVING MY VEHICLE AT SPEEDS OF 10-35MPH MY BRAKES LOCK UP AND MAKE A LOUD GRINDING NOISE. THE PEDAL PUSHES BACK AT ME AND IT IS DIFFICULT TO STOP. IT'S ALMOST AS IF THE VEHICLE IS TRYING TO ACCELERATE WHEN I'M TRYING TO STOP IT. THE PROBLEM EVENTUALLY FIXES ITSELF BY TURNING OFF ITS ABS SYSTEM... THE ABS AND TC LIGHTS COME ON AND THEN I DON'T HAVE ANOTHER PROBLEM UNTIL I HAVE TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE AND TURNED IT BACK ON AGAIN. IT HAPPENS EVERYTIME I GET IN MY CAR...AND SOMETIME DOES NOT CORRECT ITSELF UNTIL REACHING HIGHER SPEEDS. I HAVE HAD MANY OCCURRENCES WHEN I WAS ALMOST IN AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THE INABILITY TO STOP. I HAVE CONTACTED GM AND MY LOCAL DEALER...IT WAS DIAGNOSED AS AN ABS MODULE THAT NEEDS REPLACING. ON THEIR OWN GM FORUMS THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM (AMONG MANY OTHERS WITH THIS MODEL)...I GUESS SOMEONE WILL HAVE TO DIE BEFORE THEY RECALL THIS. *TR

I WAS DRIVING AND MY CAR WOULD NOT BRAKE EASILY THE ABS KEPT KICKING IN FOR NO REASON I HAD ALMOST HIT A CAR INFRONT OF ME BECAUSE THE BRAKE PEDAL BECAME SO HARD IT ALSO KICKS IN AT LOW SPEEDS AND WHEN TRYING TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE BRAKES PEDAL STARTS PULPUTATIONS AND GETS HARD AND MAKING A NOISE LIKE THE ABS HAS KICKED ON. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 EQUINOX THAT I BOUGHT USED WITH 91,000 MILES ON IT. ONLY ONE PREVIOUS OWNER WITH CLEAN CAR FAX. I LOVE THE CAR, BUT AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK IT ACTS LIKE IT DOESN'T WANT TO CRANK. I SOMETIMES HAVE TO PUSH THE GAS PEDAL TO EVEN GET IT TO CRANK. I'M ASSUMING THIS A FUEL PRESSURE PROBLEM OF SOME SORT. ALSO, ONCE CRANKED THE CAR WILL SOMETIMES IDLE ITSELF DOWN FROM 1 RPM TO 0 RPM THEN BACK TO 1 RPM. THERE IS ALSO A CLUNKING NOISE COMING FROM BACK END OF CAR WHERE THE FUEL PUMP IS. I HAVE ALSO HAD ISSUES WITH HAVING THE HEADLIGHTS REPLACED BECAUSE WATER GETS INTO THE HEADLIGHTS. MOST OF THE EQUINOX'S THAT I SEE ON THE ROAD HAVE WATER IN THE HEADLIGHTS. THIS A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE THE HEADLIGHT BULBS WILL BURST WHEN WET AND YOU HAVE NO HEADLIGHT UNTIL YOU HAVE IT FIXED. (WHICH YOU HAVE TO REPLACE THE HEADLIGHTS/TAIL LIGHTS YOURSELF BECAUSE PART STORES REFUSE TO DO THE LABOR FOR YOU BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO REMOVE THE ENTIRE HEADLIGHT TO EVEN REPLACE A BULB. THIS SEEMS TO ME THAT CHEVROLET DID THAT SO IF YOU ARE A WOMAN, LIKE MYSELF, YOU ARE FORCED TO TAKE IT SOMEWHERE AND HAVE IT REPLACED.) THERE ARE ALSO ISSUES WITH THE BRAKES AND ROTORS WEARING TOO FAST. I HAVE ALSO HAD ISSUES WITH THE AIR CONDITIONER. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE RESISTOR ON THE BLOWER MOTOR TWICE IN 2 YEARS. THESE MAY NOT BE BIG PROBLEMS TO GM, BUT I RELY ON MY CAR TO TAKE ME TO WORK AND SCHOOL AND THE FACT THAT THEY GENUINELY DON'T CARE HAS FORCED ME TO NOT WANT TO BUY ANOTHER CHEVROLET AGAIN. SEEING AS THEY HAD TO HAVE A GOVERNMENT BAIL OUT PREVIOUSLY TO EVEN STAY IN BUSINESS, YOU WOULD THINK THAT THEY WOULD VALUE THEIR CUSTOMERS! *JB
