ABS light or ABS activating by model year
What owners say
Vehicle is burning astronomical amounts of oil, even when car is sitting. Car runs rough and idles and acts as if it will stall out. The ABS and traction control lights have come on. Car acts like it won't start and takes a few times before it actually starts up. Have replaced so many parts and of course at 155,000 miles for a 2010 equinox we don't qualify under the pending lawsuit. Car is parked because it uses so much oil.
Driving down the road my power engine lite comes on and acts like it is going to cut off , some times it does. My ABS lite comes on at anytime, when coming to a stop my brakes slip and acts like it does not want to catch, brakes are new! Also the 2010 uses about 4 to 5 qt in between oil changes and there is no leaks. Defogger does not work at all. And know having engine problems. Have changed the o2 sensor still says they need to be changed, have changed the manifold and says that still needs o be changed, engine light stays on. Stabilliy track light comes on all the time as well. This has been happening for over 6 years!
While driving vehicle doors are locking and unlocking themselves, radio and heat turns off and on, blinkers not working,headlights flash on and off by themselves, airbag, stability control and ABS flash on and off on dash. Rpm and speedometer are at zero while driving and accelerating, gas hand shows on low fuel when there's gas on the car. Took to have vehicle scanned and alternator is reading at too high voltage and revived 15 error codes all relating to speed sensor, engine and transmission control model malfunction, power train control module and camshaft position circuit errors etc.
Oil comsumption, ABS light want go off. Stableizer track light want go off and the dashboard light warning with the car and the wiggle lines wnat go off. Now my dashborad brake light is on. Every time I start the car up all these lights come on and I am afraid to drive it. I have had it coded but nothing comes up. And my ignition is starting to slip when I crank it . It does not matter if I am moving or not the lights still stay on.
This car burns oil fast and I learned the hard way. 2 years after buying the car all the pistons in the engine bent due to lack of oil. When the car was getting fixed the mechanic said it was bone dry and I had just had an oil change 2 months prior. $3,200 later the car was fixed, but it still had issues shifting. In colder weather the car felt like it would barely move. I had no real mechanical issues until a year later. I had driven it 45 miles and stopped at a gas station, when I went to turn the car back on all of the emergency lights came on as well as the 'stabilitrak' light and the car wouldn't move. The only way I could get it to move was by turning the traction off, and was thankfully able to drive it home. I got it into the gm dealership and they said the stability track and the crankshaft needed replaced. My ABS light was still failing and I'm total it was another $1,400 of work. Now the engine seems to be making a cranking noise. I'm tired of wasting money on this piece of junk!!!!!
Once vehicle reaches 25 MPH the stability control turns off and simultaneously the ABS turns off and awd turns off ass well
Stabilitrak service light is on and ABS light is on

I own a 2010 chevy equinox. I was having some issues with my stabilitrak, ABS breaks and my all wheel drive. I took it to the dealership and they hooked it up to the computer. They told me I needed a new right front hub and my catalytic converter replaced. So I made an appointment to have the catalytic converter taken care of as it is a problem chevy pays for. The next day I was driving to work and I noticed my car wasn't shifting. I stopped and had a tow to the dealership. They fixed the converter and put a speed sensor in my transmission because my car simply wouldn't move. I picked up my car after them having it for two weeks. That day I noticed it was shifting extremely hard going from 3rd to 4th gear. I purchased a new hub and a new wheel speed sensor and had them installed. While leaving the garage that installed these new parts I stopped at a red light. When it turned green I pushed the gas peddle and my car just sat there and revved. I turned off and back on and was able to get it back to the garage and there it sat, refusing to do anything but revv. Since this has started I have done some research and found many complaints of the exact same problem for the same make and model. If this is a common problem within this specific transmission I think it needs to be looked into.
Was driving vehicle when all of a sudden entire dash lit up and car stalled. Messages included service stabilitrak, service ABS, engine light, and service traction control. I lost power, power brakes, and power steering and coasted vehicle to a stop. It took a couple of tries but finally got the car to turn over, engine light remained on but drove to dealer. Vehicle did not drive correctly when accelerated, it was slow and jerky. When I took the vehicle to the dealer they told me it would be covered under warranty, they plugged in their tech code reader and determined it was throttle body. I was given a concierge vehicle and informed it would take them the weekend to fix. When I picked the vehicle up they charged me saying that it would not be covered under the warranty and tried to make me pay for the rental and I have still not been reimbursed for the repairs that should have been covered under warranty or the rental car. The service agent at the dealership printed off where it clearly states that it should be covered. This is a dangerous problem and should be recalled.
