Can't disable traction or stability control won't let me go over 50 MPH on highway or in town streets brakes burnt to nothing left and brake hose melted close almost caused a fire and had to replace the entire brake system on both front tires. Use cruise control to drive after going 40 MPH to get to 70 MPH on highway only way to get to 70 MPH without using gas petal or brake so the stability control would not engage. Slowed down by turning off cruise control unless I had to stop at a red light then I used the brake petal then after a few minutes later stability control engaged then had to pull over and turned off vehicle wait a few minutes then restart vehicle press brakes to release then got back on road and repeat .

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 bought my equinox used in 2015 with 87,000. Since having it, I've replaced the tire valve sensors (broke again). I was told that fixing them are a waste of time and money because they will continue to malfunction. I've replaced turn signal handle. A month later, I have to manually turn off my turning signals no matter how sharp or wide my turns are. Since I first got my vehicle, my stability traction service light, I think the ABS light and check engine light pops on. Can't take to mechanic due to the issues not being constant. Once I caught engine light on,it was a egr valve, replaced that. Issue continues. When I try to accelerate quickly, my vehicle seems to hesitate and/or stall.
