    I have been having serious problems with the abs in my 2005 chevy equinox. The abs light came on and i had an appointment to have it seen, but in the meantime, the warning light went out and the brakes started to buzz. The day before my appointment to have it fixed, the brakes failed while i was driving. I was standing on the pedal, and the car would not slow. A few seconds later, the abs warning light came on, and…

    My 2005 chevy equinox's brakes started vibrating when i would try to stop and then the abs and tc lights would come on. Replaced front brakes, was told back brakes were okay. Still had the same problem and after awhile the brakes would vibrate even when not breaking and sometimes have trouble stopping until the abs and tc light comes on. 1st diagnostic determined i needed a right front wheel speed sensor. Replaced…

    I have a 2005 equinox and had to put the car in the shop 3 times now in 3 weeks! The thermostat went out, then the radiator had to be replaced, and now they say the head gasket needs to be replaced. Bubbling sound can be heard when you take off from a stop. I'm also having problems with the brakes making acting strangely.. The front shakes when brakes are applied. *tr

Then the lights came on stating the anti lock brakes and traction control do not work. The next time i started the car, the lights for the anti lock brakes and traction control were not on. I was driving 50 mph. Traffic stopped fast. I slammed on my brakes, but…

    Since 2008, i have experienced the following problems with brakes grinding & squeaking even after getting them repaired (front and rear brakes / rotors replaced). A couple of days after rear brakes replaced the abs & tc lights were on. I had to have sensors replaced. I have also experienced car not starting and sounding like it is flooding, after letting car sit for a few minutes it then starts. There is also a…

    2005 equinox bought used in 2007at 35000 miles-i was confused why someone would trade such a new car in-brakes continue to wear down-ignition had to be replaced,car would just die going down the highway-car almost feels like brakes are being applied when i take my foot off of the gas-tires that i bought 1 year ago are wearing out- *tr
