    The electronic speed control suddenly stopped working and no longer functions. The automatic stop feature causes the vehicle to lurch forward suddenly when you press the gas peddle following a stop. The dynamic braking suddenly engages while driving at highway speeds on the interstate and there are no other vehicles or obstructions in the area.

    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.
