2006 Chevrolet Equinox: multiple warning lights

Filed Sep 25, 2015 · Steering · 93,232 miles · NY

I was backing out of a parking spot and the wheel locked up on me. I had an extremely difficult time getting out of the parking lot. I had several warning lights on at one time and the gas level in the car was not registering. I was two blocks away from my house at the store so I was able to make it home safe to park my car. This same incident happened to me a week prior to the date on the report. The first time it happened, I parked the car and it was fine the next day. This time around, when I attempted to drive the car the next day, I noticed that all the signal lights went off, but the steering wheel was still not functional.

On jan. 11, 2010 I started my car to let it warm up before leaving for work. I let the car run for about 10 minutes. Drove the 20 minute drive to work, and when I got downtown, the car shut down and all of the warning lights on the dashboard came on. Was able to coast to side of street and stop car. Restarted car and put into drive. All warning lights still on, and don't have any power. Was able to coax car to go three blocks to parking lot, and called dealer who came and got the car. After checking, I was told that water had leaked down the right front passenger side of the window, freezing, thawing and backing up which got to the wiring and burnt it out. Really glad that I wasn't on the interstate that morning.
