This vehicle is one of several that have been reported to have problems with wheel speed and psi sensors, which then causes the traction control to believe computer wise it has no traction, therefore the light is always on and the computer sometimes shut the traction control off when it needs to be on. It also has airbag trouble with the passenger seat, also like the recall. However, despite the fact 2007's were issued this recall, it's saying my 'VIN' does apply to these recalls. Find that hard to believe when these things are messed up. Just want gm motors to awknowledge it's possible that this vehicle was mismanufactured.

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 chevrolet equinox. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to move forward when in drive, failed to retain brake fluid, and suddenly decelerated. In addition, the brakes seized several times intermittently. The contact stated that the stability traction control and brake lights illuminated randomly when the failures occurred. The dealer (john thornton chevrolet, 1971 thornton rd, lithia springs, ga 30122, (678) 303-4071) indicated that there was brake contamination and provided extensive diagnostic testing, but did not specify which parts needed to be replaced. The contact was uncertain if there was a permanent remedy to repair the vehicle. An independent mechanic stated that the ABS would need to be further inspected and that the brake master cylinder may need to be replaced.

My son was driving his 2007 chevy equinox around 50 MPH and noticed a smell coming from the brakes. He got home and told me they were dragging. I checked them after they cooled down. My initial thought was worn pads. I pulled the wheels and calipers and pads were good. However I could not compress the dual pistons back into the housing on either side until I loosened the bleeder screw. Being careful to not get air in the system, I was able to get the pistons back into the housing to make sure they were not stuck. I reassembled the brake system and tires. I tried to put the brakes to force the front pistons back out, but I had no pressure. I started the vehicle to see if the brakes were working, no they aren't. Now I have no breakes, front or rear! Fluid will not flow back to master cylinder nor will fluid flow to calipers. My question is, master cylinder or ABS module.

2997 chevy equinox - the car was in motion around 60mph, while driving the brakes activate by themselves and the ABS, stability track lights come on. The vehicle stalled in the interstate several times. The car would not move when I accelerate. It seems at if all the brakes are active and not allowing the car to move. After almost getting clipped by a semi I had to think fast. I read the manual and found the ABS fuses. In order to move the car I have to remove the ABS motor fuse and the ABS system fuse. This bypasses the system and the car is able to move. I have taken to a mechanic and they replaced dealer parts ABS module and ABS modulator "motor". I paid $1800 for the repair. Car has same issue as I drove a way from shop. When it stalled after repair I removed the fuses again and drove it back to the shop for repair again. Shop says these parts replaced are dealer parts and they will replace again with new parts. Called the chevrolet dealership on this and they mention that there is no issue/recall with this at the time. The car has $80k miles and has been at the shop for two weeks still under diagnostics to try to determine the cause. Frustrated!
