A few seconds later, the abs warning light came on, and…

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

My abs brakes were locking while driving and made it very difficult to stop car which required repeated stomping on brake pedal. Dealer repaired front hub bearings and sensors to correct problem. Dealer or gm does not consider this a safety issue even though this made it difficult to stop vehicle and also common problem with this vehicle. Cost to repair was at owners expense. *tr

I was driving 50 mph. Traffic stopped fast. I slammed on my brakes, but…

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
