    Had my equinox for couple years without any problems. Just recently abs light came on along with traction control. Suv slides to the side when applying breaks. A month before this started engine light kept turning on and off. Didn't stay long enough to see whats wrong. Gas gauge does not show correct amount of fuel 1 out of 5 days.

    Have had the car less than a year. Had it in the service shop 4-6 times for noisy breaks and squeal in the front coming from engine. Every time you put on the breaks it makes an awful noise. When you turn the car completely off it squeals from the engine. The service manager stated 'it's supposed to sound like that'

    My 2015 chevrolet equinox has developed a spongey brake pedal,the car does stop but the pedal is spongey. Is it possible that gm has a bigger problem with vehicles that are covered under existing recall?

    This and all other gm vehicles have faulty anti lock brakes that do not function correct on snow or ice. What should be a normal stop in a normal distance turns into the brakes going into anti lock if even one wheel looses traction. This extends stopping distance by about 5 times what it would be without anti lock brakes. Yesterday again i almost hit another vehicle when i when through an intersection. I was not…

    Traveling with cruise control set to 40 mph on a [redacted] the collision alert went off, beeping and the brakes were applied hard enough to feel the stutter of the anti lock system. This was the second time, the first time no cruise was being used. I had to apply the brake pedal to gain control again. Car is currently at chevy dealer being checked. There was no threat or cars in front of me. I am now scared to…

    Driving at approximately 35-40 mph with no vehicles in sight, no obstacles, on a clear day, the front collision alert turned on and the vehicle brakes were strongly applied. It was extremely rough and frightening for my daughter and i. There was no explanation for it. Since then, it has happened sporadically, at least 5 more times at any given speed and same conditions as above. I have since turned off the feature…
