Filed Jul 1, 2019 · Driver assistance · 63,830 miles · DE

When driving my car at any time the following lights will come on: ABS / service stabilitrak / all wheel dive - off / service traction contol. Also when driving you may see the brake light come on and my foot would not be on the brake. When hitting the brake I will hear what seems like a grinding notice. I have had brakes check and brakes and rotor on back right wheels replace and still have the same problem. Car dealership does not seem to know what to do. Second time in service. One time I had just pulled off and heard this loud grinding/ scraping noise. It is frightening . Mileage is 63830 can happen on city street or highway this has happen a number of times. With speed as low as 25 or 60.MPH

My daughter was driving home from a trip when she pulled over to get gas. The driveshaft snapped in half just as she was pulling into the gas station. There was no warning, no sound before then. She had no control of her car. No steering, nothing. She had just pulled off the highway, so thank god it did not happen when she was on the highway going 70 MPH or she would be dead. Cost to have towed and fixed over $1000.also prior to this incident, has had several issues with front end. Had to replace the bearings, front axle, tie rods 3 times in the last 2 years due to something wrong with this vehicle and the way it drives or is made. Constant "rubbing, grinding" noise when you turn tires. Gas fumes are very strong in the car, always have been, and repair shops cannot find any leaks. She cannot sell it, as it is worth very little due to all these defects and no recalls, and she is still making payments on this car for the next 4 years. Stuck with a very dangerous lemon.

2008 sport equinox nothing but problems since I drove it off the lot 2 years ago with only 6 miles. 2008 chevy equinox sports & the transmission want at 40,000ish miles while I was driving in a snow storm. Took the dealer one month to repair because they couldn't get the parts. Also had the steering repaired 4 times, colar repaired. The old dealer did not believe me and the noise was there again & again. It turned out to be the rack.it was a grinding noise which should like my ABS, but it was the steering rack and a loud squealing in the steering wheel. I found a nice dealer who finally believed me and fixed it last week even though it was out of warranty with the new dealer & gm's help. Just makes me nervous what else is in store for me since the truck is now out of warranty. There was other issues too, like the co sensor, computer and brake is front heavy. The truck should have been recalled, makes you wonder while this model was only made for 1 year. But since I am a women I do not know what I am talking about! Tried to take in, lol, not worth anything and do not have the money to start over.
