My veh stalled on me mid drive said engine power reduced, it did not let me accelerate and I almost got hit. Simultaneously the stabilitrack message came on and watch for ice, did this happen because of the cold? also few days later it was storming and my wipers stopped in the middle of the window and I was on the fwy in the fast lane. I had to get soaked from rolling M window down to pull over. Roadside came to stop traffic to let me on the right side shoulder because I was lucky I had room to pull over or even see in the first place. I couldnt see anything!

I recently bought this vehicle use it was wondering why the owner got rid of it now I know. There is obviously a problem with the hill assist on this vehicle and I have seen complaints on the form that other people have had the same problem and not known what it was. The problem I'm having is when the hill assiat engage's it will not disengage like it's supposed to. I actually had to have a mechanic reset the whole computer to get it to disengage the other day and remove the battery terminal today to get a disengaged. I even called the dealer today at they weren't aware of any problems they had no idea what I was talking about convenient. Several mechanics know but the dealer doesn't want to acknowledge the problem and they want me to pay to have it diagnosed. I've already diagnosed it, I just want toknow what the fix is. According to every mechanic of spoke to its in the computer programming and there is no fix. I will have on this vehicle for weeks and it's already happened to me 5 times.

Where to begin...in 2015 I purchased this 2010 Equinox from a Chevy dealer and 2 months later started experiencing problems w/ the stabilitrak. I have thousands of dollars paying for this to be fixed with no solutoins to this day!! it os now a daily occurrence and comes on multiple times while driving every time I am behind the wheel now. In addition, now the engine is completely shutting off while driving it and I must coast to the side if the road!!!! with the hundreds of thousands of complaints your company has received regarding this problem over the last few years, I am guessing your company is waiting for a life to be taken! I have had this happen to me multiple times on the highway passing a car or semi and it kicks in and I have to pray that as I slow down with no control I can make it to the right lane and then on to the shoulder with out getting hit or worse!!! there are even mornings where I go out to start my car and...either it doesn't start at all w/ no sound, it starts with the stabilitrak already on or it clicks on as soon as I put it in reverse. I am keeping all my receipts together and my family knows where they are in case anything should happen to me due to the lack of Chevrolet assistance for thousands of people dealing w/ the same issues!!!! yes I have a warranty but was told that is not covered and I have already had a new transmission put in, throttle body replaced, wires replaced, etc... and still no solution and this is not the first time I have filed a complaint here. I will never recommend a Chevy to anyone and will share my experience with as many people as possible!

Driving down the road going 55mph and all of a sudden I loose speed control to almost 20 mph. I try to press the gas to accelerate and it feels like the brakes are being pressed down. Have to press gas pedal almost to the floor to get it off the road safely. Immediately turned on emergency flashers to alert vehicles behind me. Stabilitrk light and tc light comes on. I have read plenty of forums having this same problem with the 2010 cheverelet Equinox and nobody seems to know the solution to this problem. Have had several mechanics and break specialist look at the problem and they are confused to why this is happening. I have a small child in the back seat. Thank god we weren't on a 70 mph highway and that happened. There could have been fatalities. I dont have any mechanic receipts because they dont know what to start to fix the problem with. They said it could be numerous ideas( brakes, throttle, electrical, etc). This should be investigated immediately!!

I purchased this car as used. When I first bought it there was a ticking sound that could barely be heard. The dealer said that was common. For vehicles sitting in the lot. I brought the car back once it got a little louder and they said most fuel pumps make that sound overtime but there was no issue. And that the manifold was causing the loud noise and gas smell. And needed to get repaired. That was during the warranty period.now an year later. A week ago my car started making the same sound again and been getting louder. My check engine was blinking a D I noticed the car wasn't driving as smoothly and was using up more gas.an engine power reduced light came on and my engine just cut off.I had to get it to towed to a shop and there is an issue with the fuel pump pressure. I see there have been a lot of issues with fuel pump on this vehicle and a tsb recall. This is a safety concern as it is causing the engine to cut off. This happens to me on a busy street. Thank god I wasn't on the highway I get on to go to work

"takata recall" while driving and approaching a stop sign on a city street in town, the car started aggressively shaking and several lights turned on - service stabilitrack, engine power reduced mode and the check engine light- thankfully we were able to safely pull off the road as the car would not exceed 25mph. After the first time we took it in and they flushed the throttle body. Less than 2 moths later the exact same problem occurred while driving in town. Took it back in and they completely replaced the throttle body. Here we are a few months later and now the car will not even start with the same icons appearing on the dash! if this were to happen on the freeway at 65 mph and it kick me down to 25 mph that is a serious accident waiting to happen.

Four times within the last two months the stabile symbol, check engine symbol, and reduced engine power alert have come on. The first time happened when I was parking, the 2nd time when I let the car warm up, the 3rd time when I was doing 60mph on the expressway and the 4th time when I had gone about 5 blocks on a city street. Each time I was driving, the car slowed down and became hard to control. I was able to get off the road and cut off the engine. After sitting for about 5 minutes, the reduced power alert went off and I was able to drive. The check engine light stayed on. After about a day the check engine light went out. The car will run ok for a day or two and then start to act up again. I was told that it probably has something to do with the gas medal, however the dealer hasn't been able to detect a code. I am concerned that I will be on the highway going at a high speed when it happens and not be able to get out of the way of other traffic.

The contact owns a 2010 Chevrolet Equinox. The contact stated that the vehicle was able to be in motion without the key in the ignition. Also, when the gear was shifted into park, it was not fully in gear so the contact constantly had to check. The VIN was excluded from NHTSA campaign number: 16V502000 (electrical system, power train). In addition, water entered various areas of the vehicle and the electronic stability traction control warning indicator randomly illuminated. The vehicle also rolled backward and forward without warning and the hatch came down unexpectedly. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing. The manufacturer was notified of the multiple failures. The failure mileage was not available.

2010 Chevrolet Equinox all of a sudden lost traction control and drop speed to 15 miles per hour. Error light came on stating "engine power reduction" and then "service ". along with these error messages the icon for engine and stabilitrak came on after car lost most of its pwlower and traction. It was a cold night christmas 2016 but not as cold as other cities as we live in phoenix, AZ. Thankfully I was in our neighborhood when my [xxx] daughter and I lost power instead of being on the freeway but this is a major safety issue with these cars. I've recently read many complaints from Equinox owners who've dealt with this same issue. The dealership said it was the throttle body and solenoid valves and charged me $850 for a repair that I truly feel needs to be under a recall given the safety issue of losing power and traction while driving without warning!!! parts of this document have been redacted to protect personally identifiable information pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Constant transmission issues, rebuilt motor and still having issues doesn't change gears or will make constant putt putt noises like its going to quit, goes through quarts of oil constantly, no leaks found but adding large amounts weekly, heating/ac system doesn't turn on all the time I have to turn it off and on and it eventually works. Stabilitrak keeps turning on with check engine light the cars power then gets turned down all the way or off, I have to turn the car off and turn it back on to get back to normal. Very dangerous car stopping with traffic all around. Nothing but headaches.

I have to replace one of the tire hubs on my car because the stabilizability track is messed up. Costing me over $650. The lights came on one day to get it serviced. That is the only reason I knew something was wrong.

- Marion, NC, USA

From inception this vehicle has burned through oil and has consistent issues with running smooth. The poor fuel injection system has caused abnormal wear on engine and parts therefore it has caused me to pay out of pocket for breakdown of parts in a premature stage. Now my catalytic converter is bad, all fuel injectors, coils and everything around that system!!! I am looking at over 3K in repairs again!!!

While operating vehicle, (anywhere between idling to travelling 40 mph) the "service stabilitrak" message will appear on console between tachometer and speedometer. Driving the vehicle any further will cause the instrument panel glitch, and all readings will go to zero (tach, speed, temp) while engine is still running. Further operation will create sudden jerks in the transmission until the transmission goes to third gear and remains until engine is cut off. After cutting off engine and trying to restart, the instrument panel will go directly to "service stabilitrak" message and the engine won't turn over. Have had the vehicle towed three times on separate occasions after not starting back up. Have already spent over $2K is different diagnosis and repair/replace actions. Considering that this website has 8 separate service bulletins concerning the "service stabilitrak" and 11 different complaints concerning "stabilitrak", this is an ongoing and common issue. I have a workmate that had a GMC (same generation, not sure of year) that had similar issues with "service stabilitrak" to the point of dumping the vehicle to get something more reliable.

Traction control malfunction and made the car go into low power mode, had to pull over on the highway, restart it many time to go again.

While driving 55mph, the check engine light appeared on the display. Shortly after, a message reading "service stabili trak" appeared. Then, another message appeared "engine power reduced". my car started shaking fiercely and I could not go above 30mph. I felt like I was sitting on a ticking time bomb. Then, the car shut off automatically. I tried restarting the car. It seemed fine but minutes later the same things happened. I took my vehicle to have it diagnosed at advance auto parts. I received the following codes: U0100 (engine control module), P0324 (knock control system), & P2135 (throttle position sensor). I then took my vehicle to a Chevrolet dealership who kept my vehicle 5 days. During this time, they could not diagnose the root of the problem, could not fix the issue, and returned my vehicle to me. They said they completed a reset on the vehicle & the problem should be resolved. However, on the way home from the dealership (10 minutes of drive time) the vehicle did the exact same thing with the messages and shut off. This is extremely unsafe and needs to be corrected asap!! I was barely able to get my car to the side of the busy highway before it shut off and was nearly rear-ended from a vehicle behind. As an extremely pregnant woman (who's due any day), I should not have to worry for the safety of myself or my unborn child in a vehicle that has such high safety ratings. Please have these issues resolved before someone truly gets hurt or killed.
