While driving suddenly stablitrak service light and engine light comes on. Door locks start unlocking and locking, all lights start flashing and car slows down. At the same time steering wheel becomes very tight and unable to turn. Happen while driving any speed. Have had many visits to mechanics: ECM replaced and programmed was the last attempt prior to that I had a new started put on. This is a known issue for chevrolet's from my research. Recently bought a used 2014 chevy traverse lt and I'm started to see the same issues and I've only had it 1 week. I'm very upset these models aren't safe. To many times to count how many time it's happened maybe 30-40 in 1 year.

What owners say
The driver side window stopped working along with the driver side door lock switch. They both stopped working at the same time.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 chevrolet equinox. The contact stated that the front driver side door would not lock and the window would not open. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who diagnosed that the wiring harness was defective. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 45,000. Updated 09/10/14
Getting back onto the interstate the door locks started clicking and the speedometer hand starts going haywire. In the weeks and months to come now the awd, traction control, service engine soon lights come on. The steering wheel jerks, weird noise goes through the speakers and all gauges and door locks go haywire. Has been put on a machine but no codes come up for the mechanic.
Right front door wiring harness in hinge area (flex point). Wires broken causing door locks, power windows and power mirrors to be inoperable.
My front door handles have both fallen off my car. They just came off after opening the door. The plastic is very thin where they are connected and snap off. I replaced my passenger side about five months ago and now I need to replace my driver side. Its real hard to get in and out of the car with no door handle.

Currently my vehicle will not start. It seems that the battery is fine as all of the electronics in the vehicle are working, including radio/door locks. When the key is turned all of the electronics just "click" and the motor does nothing. This happened just after christmas this past year as well. Luckily at that time I was at my parents house and though jump starting it would not work, we were able to charge the battery for about 6 hours and then it started. I have also had numerous problems with my radio (actually all sound in the car - including turn signals) that randomly just dont work or that when the car is started blast sound for about 30 seconds before the radio returns to normal - but the signals still produce a wierd, somewhat echoing sound when they do click. I have taken it to the dealer but they are unable to recreate the problem and send me on my way.
Tl*the contact owns a 2007 chevrolet equinox. The contact stated that her air bags and turn signals do not work, and the door locks fail to lock. She took the vehicle to the dealer and they are charging $600 to repair the failures. The contact stated that she does not have the money for the repairs. The manufacturer stated that they could not assist. The failure mileage was 39,000.
