NHTSA Complaint #10598401 — 2011 CHEVROLET EQUINOX

WHILE DRIVING TO WORK, I NOTICED THAT MY SERVICE STABILITRAK AND ABS LIGHTS CAME ON. DURING THIS TIME, MY VEHICLE LOST POWER AND I BEGAN TO HEAR A SEVERE GRINDING NOISE IN MY LEFT FRONT WHEEL. AFTER GETTING TO WORK, THE VEHICLE SAT OVER NIGHT. WHEN I STARTED IT IN THE MORNING, I NOTICED THAT THE ABOVE MENTIONED LIGHTS HAD COME BACK ON AND THE GRINDING NOISE AND LOSS OF POWER HAD STARTED AGAIN. APPROXIMATELY A WEEK EARLIER, I WENT IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NO OIL ON THE DIPSTICK. THIS TRUCK IS ONLY 3.5 YRS OLD AND THERE IS NO SIGN OF OIL LEAKING OR BURNING. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO REASON THAT THIS VEHICLE SHOULD BE FALLING APART AFTER 3.5 YRS. THE ABS/TRACTION CONTROL ISSUE IS A SEVERE SAFETY ISSUE THAT COULD RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT. *JS
