My 2005 chevy equinox's brakes started vibrating when I would try to stop and then the ABS and tc lights would come on. Replaced front brakes, was told back brakes were okay. Still had the same problem and after awhile the brakes would vibrate even when not breaking and sometimes have trouble stopping until the ABS and tc light comes on. 1st diagnostic determined I needed a right front wheel speed sensor. Replaced it and 2 days later had the same problem. Next I was told it needed the left wheel speed sensor. Replaced it. 2 days later starting having the same problem. Then I was told it needed the right front wheel bearing. Replaced both front wheel bearings. Still have a problem only now the brakes only vibrate and lights come on hills, when turning or going at higher speeds.
2005 Chevrolet Equinox driver assistance complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 16 of 16, newest first, as owners wrote them.
The t/c light stays on and acceleration is very slow. Car shoots forward with loud noise with acceleration. Nov 4th started...I took it to a car shop and they said I need to replace the transmission control system...
Since 2008, I have experienced the following problems with brakes grinding & squeaking even after getting them repaired (front and rear brakes / rotors replaced). A couple of days after rear brakes replaced the ABS & tc lights were on. I had to have sensors replaced. I have also experienced car not starting and sounding like it is flooding, after letting car sit for a few minutes it then starts. There is also a popping noise that comes from the back of car after starting the engine. When changing shift from park to drive car occasionally jerks & shoots forward. When pressing the gas, the car takes a few moments then jerks forward. Now I'm being told that the transmission is going bad & I have to pay $350 for a diagnostic test to determine if they can rebuild the transmission or have to replace it, which will cost between $1800 to $3000. There is a 2005 chevy equinox power train: automatic transaxle recall but my car is not covered. Note: vehicle has been serviced regularly according to the maintenance schedule timetable provided by the manufacturer.
2005 chevy equinox. Current miles approx 85,000. Was rear ended in may 2010. The car was repaired and returned in june 2010. Within approximately 2 weeks, found noticeable grinding noises from brakes, low to null braking ability. Abs and tracking lights are on. In june, dealer found ABS sensor and steering column were broken. Dealer said it was a result of recent car accident but several insurance adjusters have said the accident was too minor to cause such damage and believe it is manufacturer defect. No insurance company will touch this claim. They believe it is a known defect in gmc parts.
Brake system failing. Abs and traction system malfunctioning causing ABS system to activate in normal braking situations. Dealer ship said it was a sensor, had it repaired at the tune of $110 system check, $170 hub/sensor assembly purchase. Firestone auto care said it was a faulty wire harness that I am have replace to day to the tune of $250. Per the tech at fire stone this is his third repair of this type, same make and model care. 2005 chevy equinox.
