2008 Chevrolet Equinox: hesitation when accelerating

Filed Nov 6, 2018 · Acceleration, Driver assistance · TN

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.

When driving on the highway, my vehicle is hesitant to increase speed, which could almost cause traffic incidents. I am experiencing jerking and hesitation as the speed changes or the gears change. The highway has a speed limit of 60-65. It makes it difficult to drive during the flow of traffic as the car is jerking like it will cut off. I took my vehicle to have a diagnostic test and the test stated that there is a misfire in the sparkplugs. I've had a full tune-up and the sparks plugs changed but I am still having the same problem. Also, the ABS and traction control light will not go off. My breaks has been repaired and I am afraid of driving this vehicle for safety reason.

My 2008 equinox has been having problems with starting, it's fine when it's sat over night hours but during the day when it's only sat a couple or a few hours it will hesitate and I've taken it to the dealership where I purchased it and they kept saying nothing is wrong but it continues to do it, so something has to be wrong and the passenger front window doesn't go down and I had been taking it to be looked at for the starting problem way before the warranty was up and I don't feel I should have to pay to have the problems corrected.)
