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…

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…

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…

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…

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…
