The vehicle has stable track link error and will not go away! Parts have been replaced, both aftermarket and swapped for genuine gm and still the service engine soon light is on. The fuel gauge doesn't work properly and will just at random show over the full mark or under the empty mark when i have purchased fuel on the same day. The throttle body had to be replaced at 45,000 miles when the vehicle suddenly lost…

I have multiple issues currently and they all seem to be listed on other complaints. 1. The driver side window has completely stopped working. It seems to have become disconnected to the motor as i can hear the motor going up and down within the door. 2. Stabilitrak warning and engine light are constantly turning on and off. This has happened on and off over the past year or so but the dealership could not get a…

The vehicle just started to slow down, it was difficult to steer to get off the road. It felt like the car was locking up. There was a strong burning smell. I was concerned that there would be a fire. The vehicle would not go backward or forward. A tow truck had to be called. The diagnosis was the power brake booster, which they replaced. Two weeks later the car locked up again. Now they are saying the entire…

The traction engine and stability error message stay illuminated on my car.the other day i was at an intersection where the cross traffic doesn't stop . When i decided to go the car would hardly move almost leaving me in the middle of the road where i could have been hit. This has happened several times, it feels as if it's a five sped and your trying to take off in 3rd gear...very dangerous! I took it to a chevy…

I took my car into a power chevrolet dealership back in september, they said there had been a recall for the coils/spark plugs. They fixed the issue, as my car had been stalling as i accelerated. Now, recently my electric stability traction light came on, along with my engine and "service brakes" light. I had my brakes done back in october at the same time as they replaced the coil. My car is starting to stall and…

Once again, driving on a busy highway my stabilitrac light came on and my engine was powered down. My vehicle is once again in the shop having the throttle bottle replaced. The first time this happened, the mechanics just cleaned the part, this time it is being replaced. When your vehicle powers down, you lose the ability to safely maneuver your car- potentially causing an accident. *tr

I was driving home from work on a busy interstate going nearly 60 mph when my traction control light came on, i lost engine power, my car jerked because of this and i was nearly hit from behind. This is a huge safety problem and should be fixed. After reading other complaints about the same issue, when is gm going to do something about this obvious problem for the consumer? *tr

Weeks later, stabilitrac error and loss of power steering while driving. Not good. Almost had an accident! Still no error code !!!! Could not track anything down... Put vehicle in shop. They determine that it was the power steering position sensor. Getting fixed @…

I noticed a gas smell when i got out of my car and when it is parked in my driveway. I took it to the dealership where i bought the car and they looked at it for me. They told me the gas tank was leaking a little bit from the top of the tank. I then did some research and found out that there is a recall on the fuel pump for the same reason. I live in kentucky and the recall is in the western states. Why is it only…

We were traveling 3-28-2013 and were about a hundred miles from our destination when the service stabilitrac, service traction control and check engine light came on. Less than a year prior to this on 4-19-2012 we had a similar incident, which happened to be the power steering control module. We made it home 4-2-2013 and took it to the shop and found out the egr valve need replacing. I replace the egr valve and…

We have a 2007 equinox that the power steering quit working. Prior to the power steering going out, the service stabilitrak light would come on at random times for no apparent reason. I contacted a dealership and they told me it was possible that there could be corrosion on the connectors for the sensors for the stabilitrak. When the power steering quit working, i did some research and found that others were having…

In the weeks and months to come now the awd, traction control, service engine soon lights come on. The steering wheel jerks, weird noise goes through the speakers and all gauges and door locks go haywire. Has been put on a machine but no codes come up for the mechanic. *tr

Have had my 2007 equinox since 2009 with a few problems. Stabilitrac light coming on....a/c not turning on....window washer fluid not spraying. But today, out of nowhere, a gas smell. No visible leak, just the smell. After searching on line and seeing numerous complaints about the same problem, i wonder, do i try and find out the problem through a mechanic and probably spend a fortune or wait to see if a gm realizes…

Vehicle has temporary loss of power for things like dash board lights, radio, power locks and additionally i hear popping noises from front end of car and to add to this frustration on sunday the power steering completely failed with no previous warning indicators. Fortunately, i was in a parking space and simply could not steer my car to exit. I have had it repaired at the cost of over $700.00. *tr
