2006 CHEVROLET EQUINOX Electronic Stability Control Esc Problems

I BOUGHT THIS CAR ABOUT 18 MONTHS AGO FROM A USED DEALER SHIP AFTER THE CAR TURNED 12 MONTHS THE CAR STARTED SAYING IT WAS OVER HEATING BUT WHEN LOOKING AT THE VEHICLE IT WAS NOT HOT AT ALL THE SENSOR JUST SAID OVERHEATING ALL THE WAY TO THE RED WHEN THE CAR READ OVERHEATING THE RADIATOR FLUID OVERFLOWED WITH OUT BEING HOT WHEN OPENING THE LID THERE WHERE AIR BUBBLES WITH NO HEAT. I HAVE SPENT OVER $1000 DOLLARS TRYING TO FIX THE PROBLEM WITH STILL NO SUCCESS WHEN IT SAID OVER HEATING THE CAR STARTS SLOWING DOWN AND THEN IT STOPS WHERE EVER YOU ARE AT RIGHT AWAY SOMETIMES IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. WHEN AT TIME IT SAID OVER HEATING THE HEATER STOPS WORKING. I HAVE HAD TO LET THE AIR OUT SEVERAL TIME A DAY AND NOW IT SAID OVERHEATING AS SOON AS I LEAVE...

THE PLASTIC BLEND ARM FOR THE HEATER SELECTOR MOTOR BROKE, WHICH SEEMS TO BE HAPPENING ON THE EQUINOX CARS. IT CAUSES THE HEATER TO BLOW COLD AIR ONLY. THIS HAPPENED ON A CITY STREET WHILE TRAVELING TO THE STORE. WHEN I TURNED THE HEATER ON IT MADE A FUNNY NOISE LIKE IT WASN'T ENGAGING. THE WINDOWS WOULDN'T DEFROST WHILE I WAS DRIVING.

WHILE TURNING ON THE CAR AND DRIVING THE TC, BRAKE LIGHT, ABS, ENGINE, AND AIR BAG LIGHTS TURN ON AND THE CAR TURNS OFF BUT CONTINUES TO DRIVE. AS YOU DRIVE IT CONTINUES TO RING THE BELLS AND TURN ON OF THE OFF AND ON INCLUDING THE RADIO. YOU CAN ALSO PULL THE KEY OUT AND IT CONTINUES TO DRIVE. ALL THIS ON HIGHWAY AND CITY STREETS.

1. MY ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT COME ON ALMOST EVERYTIME I DRIVE THE CAR. MOST OF THE TIME THEY COME ON FOR NO REASON, JUST DRIVING ON SMOOTH/GOOD ROAD CONDITIONS THEY COME ON OR PULLING OUT OF A DRIVEWAY. 2. DOESN'T MATTER IF THE ABS LIGHT IS ON OR OFF, I'VE HAD TO SMASH DOWN ON THE BRAKE PEDAL NUMEROUS TIMES SO I DON'T HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME BECAUSE THE BREAKS FEEL LIKE THEY AREN'T GRABBING. LUCKILY MY DAUGHTER WASN'T IN THE CAR ANY OF THE TIMES IT'S HAPPENED. I HAD THE CAR LOOKED AT BY A TECHNICIAN AT A CHEVY DEALERSHIP AND HE FOUND NO ISSUES WITH THE BRAKES. 3. THE FRONT END OF THIS VEHICLE IS HORRIBLE. I'VE REPLACED THE FRONT HUBS RECENTLY, AND THAT DID NO GOOD WITH EITHER OF THESE ISSUES. 3. I WAS GOING THROUGH A DRIVE THRU, AND ALL OF...

ANY TIME THERE IS RAIN OR GOING THROUGH A CAR WASH MY CAR HAS A LEAK OF WATER THAT COLLECTS IN MY FLOORBOARD. I HAVE READ A MILLION REVIEWS ONLINE AT CHEVROLETFORUM.COM AND NUMEROUS YOUTUBE VIDEOS DOCUMENTING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE MAKE AND MODEL. IF GM PLANS ON CHARGING FOR AN UPGRADE LIKE A SUNROOF THEN IT SHOULD PROPERLY WORK. THE REASON FOR CONCERN ON THIS, THE WATER LEAKS THROUGH THE DASH AND EVEN SOMETIMES COLLECTS IN THE LIGHT FIXTURES OF THE ROOF. WITH STANDING WATER ON THE FLOOR BOARDS I HAVE A HUGE CONCERN FOR MY SAFETY FROM BEING ELECTROCUTED OR BEING E POSED TO ANY TYPE OF MOLD CAUSED FROM THE WET CARPET. THERE ARE APPARENTLY ISSUES WITH SEVERAL SEALS WHEN IT COMES TO THIS MODEL AND I FEEL IT HAS BEEN OVERLY DOCUMENTED THAT IS IS A SAFETY CONCERN. NOT TO MENTION OF DRIVING IN RAIN...

LOSS CONTROL OF POWER STEERING WHILE DRIVING STABILIZER LIGHT CAME ON COULDN'T TURN STEERING WHEEL.

I FEEL THIS VEHICLE IS A DANGER, WHEN I BROUGHT THIS VEHICLE JUST GAVE ME A PROBLEM, WHEN I GO RUNNING THE CAR IT GOES AWAY AND I FEEL SCARED, THE LIGHTS NEVER TURN OFF AND I FIXED EVERYTHING, ALWAYS HAS NOISE WHEN THE VEHICLE IS RUNNING IN THE STREET. ME REGRET HAVING BOUGHT IT.

BOUGHT MY 06 EQINOX IN MAY OF 2015. DAY 2, BATTERY DIED. DEALER PUT NEW BATTERY IN. NEXT WEEK, BATTERY DEAD AND TOOK OUT STEREO WITH IT. DEALER REPLACED BATTERY AND STEREO. NOW HAVING TROUBLE STARTING AGAIN. HAVE REPLACED BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS TWICE ON REAR WHEELS AND FRONT ONCE. CAR MAKES GRINDING NOISE STILL WHEN BACKING WITH FOOT ON THE BRAKE. ABS AND TC LIGHTS CAME ON MAY OF 2017. HAD CHECKED OUT AND NEEDED FRONT RIGHT WHEEL SPEED SENSOR REPLACED. REPLACED IT AND LIGHT STAYED ON. HAD IT RECHECKED AND IT STILL READS THE SAME. NO BRAKES. PEDAL STUTTERS ON THE WAY DOWN AND THEN HAS TO BE FORCED DOWN THE REST OF THE WAY TO STOP THE CAR. HAD MECHANIC LOOK AT IT AND WAS TOLD TO REPLACE ABS MODULE. WE DID AND I FINALLY HAVE BRAKES AGAIN BUT NOW MY BREAK LIGHT IS ON ALONG WITH...

DRIVING AT HIGH SPEED IN HIGHWAY AND SUDDENLY LOOSE ACCELERATION PEDAL FUNCTION. DANGEROUS SLOW DOWN IN HIGHWAY WHILE CARS PASS YOU BY AT HIGH SPEEDS AND YOU JUST CANT GET TO MOVE OUT THE WAY.WITH FAMILY IN VEHICLE

I HAVE A CHEVROLET EQUINOX LX AND I AM HAVING PROBLEM WITH THE ABS AND TRACKING CONTROL SO I GOT THE BRAKES REPLACE AND THERE STILL A BAD GRINDING THE SAME THING BEFORE I REPLACE THE BRAKES THE ABS AND TRACKING CONTROL COME ON AND OFF WHILE I AM DRIVING AND STAY ON WHILE I AM DRIVING I HAVE CHANGE MY BRAKE IN 2014 WHEN I FIRST PURCHASE THE SUV I DID NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM WAS THERE A RECALL ON THIS MATTER AND IF THERE WAS CAN SOMEONE GET BACK WITH ME OR CAN GMS HELP WITH THIS MATTER. *TR

SINCE THIS CAR HAS ONLY 29,000 MILES AND SO MUCH IS GOING ON . SUNROOF LEAKED, PROBLEMS W/ WINDOWS, NOT THE HEATING AND COOLING DOESN'T WORK , I JUST HAD IT TOWED BECAUSE THE BATTERY WAS DEAD. *TR

A. I BEGAN TO NOTICE THAT AT TIMES THE CAR WOULD NOT START THE FIRST TIME I TURNED THE KEY. I WOULD HAVE TO TURN THE KEY TO OFF POSITION AND TRY AGAIN, THIS COULD SOMETIMES TAKE A COUPLE OF TIMES. THE DEALER DID STATE THAT IT WAS INDEED THE IGNITION SWITCH. B. WE ALSO HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THE IGNITION WHEN YOU TURN IT OVER IT CONTINUES TO TRY TO START AFTER IT IS RUNNING. THE ONLY WAY TO MAKE IS STOP IS TO STEP ON THE GAS. C. WHEN THE CAR IS SHUT OFF WITH THE WIPERS OR HEATER OR EVEN THE RADIO ON; WHEN WE START THE EQUINOX, THERE IS SMOKE COMING OUT OF THE STEERING WHEEL AREA. IT HAS A BURNING SMELL WITH IT. VERY DANGEROUS. JUST LAST WEEK, I HAD MY EQUINOX ON WITH THE AIR, AND SMOKE CAME OUT OF THE STEERING WHEEL AREA...

SAME AS REPORTED BELOW, ABS ISSUES, IGNITION SWITCH, OVER HEATING, WATER SOUND IN DASH, BLEND DOOR ISSUES. ONLY HAVE 80K ON CAR BUT PROBLEMS SURPASS VALUE. WHY ARE THERE NO RECALLS FOR EQUINOX? *TR

ONE DAY I NOTICED THE BRAKES WERE HARDER THAN NORMAL TO PUSH TO STOP THE CAR AND THEN MY ABS/TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS WOULD COME ON, WHEN THEY DID THE CAR WOULD BRAKE FINE. THIS NOW HAPPENS ON A DAILY BASIS. SOMETIMES THE LIGHTS COME ON AS SOON AS I START THE CAR AND SOMETIMES IT TAKES A FEW MINUTES OF DRIVING FOR THE LIGHTS TO COME ON, UNTIL THEY DO, BRAKING IS SCARY. BOTH FRONT HUBS, BOTH FRONT SENSORS, ROTORS AND PADS HAVE BEEN REPLACED AND STILL ABS/TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT COMING ON. ALSO HAD ALL FOUR TIRES AIR PRESSURE CHECKED. ALL OF THIS WORK HAS BEEN PERFORMED BY A LICENSED MECHANIC AND HE IS NOW STUMPED. I HAVE BEEN READING OTHER COMPLAINTS ON DIFFERENT SITES WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND NO RESOLUTION. *TR
