Everytime my vehicle is exposed to water by rain or car wash. It goes into low power mode or limp mode only accelerating to like 30mph. I was told there is water getting somewhere is shouldnt causing a short. Im not the only one with this problem. Ive read on several forums.I was just on the freeway recently and it rained for about 5 minutes here in fresno California which is extremely unusual because it is still summer and the vehicle did this while i was driving. I could've caused an accident i had to pull over and stop driving. I turned off and on the car several times and the low power mode finally went away, and also the service stabilitrak system. Chevy is aware of this problem and they need to fix before somebody gets hurt

While driving suddenly stablitrak service light and engine light comes on. Door locks start unlocking and locking, all lights start flashing and car slows down. At the same time steering wheel becomes very tight and unable to turn. Happen while driving any speed. Have had many visits to mechanics: ECM replaced and programmed was the last attempt prior to that I had a new started put on. This is a known issue for Chevrolet's from my research. Recently bought a used 2014 Chevy traverse lt and I'm started to see the same issues and I've only had it 1 week. I'm very upset these models aren't safe. To many times to count how many time it's happened maybe 30-40 in 1 year.

Purchased the car used with 115K miles. The first sign of an issue was the sound of water rushing to the heater core (air). Car started overheating a few weeks later as the outdoors temperature started to climb in late spring. I started to see white smoke coming from the tail pipe and was having to add coolant every other day. The issue started to get worse so I took it to an independent mechanic who diagnosed a head gasket failure. The issue happens more frequently on hills, during hot weather and while stopped at lights or in traffic. I tried to use a head gasket sealant which worked for about a month and then the car began to overheat again. I checked out several forums and find that this is a known issue in this vehicle due to a poor chose of head gasket with some antifreeze/coolant types. Head gasket replacement is very expensive and should be covered by a recall. The radiator hoses are over pressurizing and will cause ruptures which will end up burning someone severely.

Vehicle heats up and causes water hoses to over heat and bust up. This can cause a serious burn injury. Apparently this is a problem causes because of the head gaskets that were used.the gaskets get damaged and start causing the lines to fill up with air causing alot of pressure to.motor and then over heats.all the lines that bring water to the moter busted and vehicle wasnt even showing to be hot. Vehicle still works but cant be used because it overheats. Lines were replaced twice but will bust if truck is turned on. Have read online that this has happened to severel owners but nothing has been done. Have also xontacted Chevrolet but they said they cant do anything yet. We were on expressway going home

On November 17th the vehicle started to tell me that it was overheating and to turn A/C off. A/C was not even on because it was cold and the heat was blowing cold air. The vehicle then told me while I was trying to get to a safe location to pull over that the engine power was reduced and the vehicle stated to crawl along the road. When the vehicle was looked at where I pulled over there was minimal oil in the vehicle and it had blow coolant all over the driver side wheel well from what looked like the overflow tube. Oil was put in the vehicle so that I could drive it to a safe location. On November 18th I went to start the vehicle to go to work and without going any place but sitting in the driveway it started to tell me that the engine was overheating and to turn A/C off. The vehicle was towed. The dealership that I use worked on it and replaced the temp control and thermostat and did a complete oil change. In the few days after this work was done I could still hear the fan running while driving and once I parked it would run for a while. On November 25th I was driving and the vehicle stated to say engine overheating and to turn A/C off once again I had to travel a short distance to get a semi safe location to pull over since the engine power was reduced again and the vehicle crawled along. The heater was blowing cold air I could hear the fans running inside the vehicle as well. This was the second time I had to have the vehicle towed in a week. It is now November 30th and I still do not have my vehicle back because they are still "working" on it. I see a lot of 2006 Equinox's with the same issue not sure why this is not a recall because it is very inconvenient to not have a car and to miss work. I am sending pictures from the second time it was towed.
