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!

A couple of days ago I started experiencing issues with vehicle. At speeds over 60 the steering wheel would shake and when coming to a stop the car would do a rocking motion. Today on the highway the car was driving fine than randomly a light popped on that said low oil consumption turn off engine and the car began excessively smoking from under hood. I pulled over and checked I the oil and it was empty added 4 quarts it was still empty looked under car and oil had leaked everywhere. No prior warning lights or check oil or low oil pressure lights were on. I get proper oil changes when due. A couple of moths back I was having several electrical issues with the vehicle as well were the lights on the dash would pop on and off air and radio would turn itself on and off, doors locking and unlocking etc. And took it to a certified chevy dealer to have it checked and have the issue fixed and these issues were months after I had the transmission replaced after it fails months after purchasing the car.

2 days after driving this 2010 chevy equinox off the lot. The power steering pump goes out. The power steering had a winding noise since it was replaced, and they told me there may just be air in the line. After riving it that way for a month took it in to get that looked at and they ended up replacing that and said it was a faulty pump. Then days later one of the tire sensors goes out. Had that replaced! Then a few hours after driving it that same tire sensor goes out again. This is the worst vehicle that general motors as made!!!!! It had new tires when we bought this vehicle and not even 8 months the two rear tires were making the rear end slide all over the road and after investigating the problem I found the two rear tires had wires showing on the inside of the wheel tread all the way around the wheels. Take it in and the mechanic said it was because we didn't have a tire rotation! Well, after replacing the tires, then 6 months down the road the new tires are in the exact same place just on the rear tires. There is no way that you need to have a tire rotation that often. Had them replaced once again. The heat stopped working and only blows cold air! Found out that these vehicles are known for this issue. That sensor up under the glove box isn't strong enough to open/close the vent to keep regulating the heat control. Now, the 2nd set of tires have the same wires going around the tires!!!!! Major safety issue! If, gm doesn't do something about these issues they are going to be facing a lot of lawsuits or customers going elsewhere. Now the wipers stopped working and like the control arms fell off under the outer dash area!!!! Take these vehicles straight to the junkyards. Oh, and the stability trac control issue has happened as well were the vehicle loses all power in the middle of a four-lane freeway!!!

I bought my used 2010 chevy equinox from the dealer, and 2 weeks later the service stabilitrak light came on. Took it to the dealer, they did an alignment and the same day the light came back on with traction control light. The next day I went to the grocery store, and when I tried to start it to leave it wouldn't start. After 2 tries, it finally started but then the reduced engine power light came on and wouldn't go above 25 MPH. Eventually the vehicle powered down and I had to pull over for a tow truck to come. The chevy dealer said it was the main timing chain (not covered) and something else in the engine but I would have to pay for labor to disassemble it. My car has been out of service and sitting at the dealer for now 10 days. Luckily I wasn't on the highway when this happened, and decided to go to the store before heading to work. Carfax reports indicate the timing chain and fuel pump was replaced at 40,000 miles already. I see a lot of people with this problem in much scarier situations. I believe this should be a recall before something happens.

Vehicle was in motion approximately 45 MPH when check engine light came on, message then appeared that engine power is reduced and speed immediately dropped to around 15 MPH and then to a rough idle at approx 5-10mph. Was almost rear ended by vehicle traveling behind me. I was able to limp remaining 2 miles home and contacted dealer. Appointment was made and dealer reported code p2135 and replaced throttle body..dealer said throttle didn't know up from down. Dealer stated this is a common problem with the equinox. I have read many complaints online about this same issue with other owners reporting being put in a dangerous position with the sudden drop in speed like we were. I contacted chevy gm and they said there were no recalls. If rapid acceleration has been treated by other companies as recall worthy, I dont understand why chevy does not consider this recall worthy. I have attached the repair report with this complaint.
