The ABS and traction control light came on and the vehicle sometimes doesn-??t want to stop. The ABS kicks in and it takes a while for it to stop. It-??s been twice where the vehicle ends up stopping in the middle of the intersection. Luckily no one was in front of us or coming the other direction.

The front sub frame where it bolts to the frame was completely rusted loose on the right side. The left side was barely holding on. This is what holds the motor up and control arms. My mechanics are telling me this is a common problem with Chevy Equinoxes. If it's common why aren't there recalls. My car only has 80,000 miles on it and my mechanic told me to scrap it. I'm a fabricator and welder. I welded a new frame under it but others can't do that and mechanics say it's a no fix.

I was at the car wash, when the vehicle was near the end, suddenly the engine light and powertrain light came on then shut off automatically. I tried to restart, put the truck in the drive, but it wouldn't go like the gas wasn't reaching. So, I turned it off and restarted to see if the lights would go off, but it didn't. I was able to get it home safely. It doesn't take off right away when you gas the pedal. When I stop at the stop sign, it takes a minute before it starts moving again. This is not safe to drive, especially when making a turn, pulling off to traffic. If it doesn't take off in time, it could be an accident due this problem. I hope there's a solution this problem. Thank you in advance.

It was recently brought to my attention that the keys can fall out of the ignition with the vehicle running. Which creates an extreme likelihood that the vehicle can move forward or backward without assistance. My keys fall right out of the ignition you should not be able to take the keys out of an ignition with it running or not in park. Has not been confirmed by the dealership yet that-??s my next step. And yes it can be reproduced at any time. Sometimes the key will not even start the vehicle. Hi had never reached over and just tried to take the keys out of the ignition to see if they would come out but I recently rented a room where the owner has the exact same car and the same thing happened to him and he had the ignition replaced. This is how I know that it happens because he reached over and was able to pull my keys right out with the vehicle running. I was shocked. Also at one point it says there is automatic transmission recall and mine is making weird movements and jerking motions sometimes not just on my car but on my landlord-??s car as well. Maybe that needs to be looked at.

Well I bought it from a individual 3 months ago N the second day of getting it my check engine light came on it feels like it jerks the crap out of U when trying to to gain speed from 40-55 range N when coming to a stop sign it feels like it don't want to stop now the ABS N traction control light is on dash. I have no where on my dash or anywhere in the vehicle to turn traction control on or off. The past two weeks it drinks gas like crazy it don't want to warm up like it should for heater.. is this to do with a recall or serviced issues bc I'm ready to trade it off before I get killed or kill someone or my kids get hurt in accident bc of the issues with this vehicle

There are two issues with this Equinox. The first, is the key sometimes locks on the ignition and I cannot turn the vehicle on nor turn the key - it completely locks leading to anxiety and frustration because it will take several attempts at trying to put the key in or even trying to pull it out of the ignition. This has been an ongoing issue since we first bought this vehicle. The second issue is the back door/hatch of the 2005 Equinox does not open/unlock. The only way to access back area is to lower back seat and climb to back area. Vehicle waswas stationary when we first noticed problem. Lots of complaints online about others having the same issue. Why wasn't this issue made into a recall issue? why do I have to pay $150-$200 (according to some complaints online) or more out of my own pocket to get this issue resolved" I can't even sell the vehicle because I disclose these issues to potential buyers and right away they get discouraged and walk away. What am I supposed to do with this car now"

Vehicle will stall during operation or at idle. Tsb 05539 covers this issue for earlier VIN numbers. This needs to be expanded to include additional VIN numbers for later production effected by the same problem.vehicle will restart after several attempts, but may fail again in as few as five minutes or run as long as an hour.

Takata recall: I bought my Chevy Equinox in August of 2017, since taking it home it has had a lurching problem when driving or when stopped at a red light. It lurches forward and backwards like a bull trying to throw you off. I put new brakes on every 3 months because my brakes do not work even when brand new, and when I press the brake the car won't stop, or the brake pulses and vibrates. The cars gear shift sometimes gets stuck in drive when trying to put it in park. When trying to drive and the gas is pressed you hear a grinding, and the gas vibrates. I've had to ABS sensor replaced 4X, O2 sensor 3X new brakes every 3 months, new tires every 6 months, regular oil changes, it's had it's valves replaced, it's had new brake lines, new shocks, regular alignments, it's had a new catalytic converter put in. The cars RPM spikes to 8000 when doing 30 miles an hour through a small town. The wheel vibrates when on a highway ABS light never comes off. T/C turns off anytime I make a turn. Check engine light is I swear permantly on.. I've been told this can be a transmission and gear shift problem, but that all 3 of my regular mechanics call this problem the ghost problem, because they can't figure it out and always tell me to not drive it that it's not safe to drive but it's my only vehicle and I am 5 months pregnant and cannot afford a new car right now. This car is unsafe and needs to be evaluated.

I purchased this vehicle today. 12/26/16. Drove home. About 10 minutes from my house. The temp gauge goes to the red. I wait about 45 min. I take it back to the dealership. They asked me to leave it overnight. After reading several complaints. Can't you all do something about this? seems to be the common thing with the type of coolant that is used in these vehicles.

My family with a newborn and I was going to get ice cream at a establishment. Mind you it was a very hot day, and upon leaving we couldn't leave because the key wouldn't turn over. The key was stuck in the lock position only. I believe the ignition cylinder isn't any good.
