2018 Chevrolet Equinox: ABS light or ABS activating

Filed Feb 16, 2024 · Brakes, Engine · IA

My 2018 equinox is not included in any recalls. However, it has been in for engine repair, even though the vehicle only had 70,000 miles on it at the time. After that, the ABS system was acting up, the automatic door locks and locking mechanism failed and went outs, the brakes have been repaired three times and the suspension is worn down. I only have $86,000 mi on it. I am now getting ready to take it in again for transmission issues. My car is not included in any recalls, but seems to have the issues stated and all the recalls

Was driving down the road and had just hit about 50mph at 4k rpms when suddenly the car started shaking and the check engine light started flashing, i knew immediately it was just a misfire, HOWEVER then the car immediately locked up brakes on full blast and engine cut off. Almost caused a mass accident let alone launching all my stuff. Then i turned the car back on and it drove fine for 20 miles. Just before i got home i am starting to try and stop at a stop sign. Hit the brake and the brake went all the way in with no pressure. A car is coming my car wont stop and im laying on my horn. Car finally got brakes again and boom the car stopped. Got home and ran the codes and it was Abs, t/c, stability lignts all on, airbag system, stability trac, anti lock + braking system, engine and tranny on my chevy app all said “service immediately” rear differential clutch control, electronic brake control module all showed up when i ran the code reader. Was extremely terrifying!! Im going into the dealership tomorrow to get it looked at

ABS or assistant brake system has been checked and fixed however the light continues to come on and does not want to Drive it has a delay and then there's a sensor on the battery that is good but it keeps saying that is not getting enough voltage when the sensor has changed these are the issues that I have fixed and because of this I can't drive my car through emissions in the state of Arizona because it's saying I need to get these things fixed when they are fixed so my problem or concern is is this a defect do I have bad sensors am I getting back parts I'm not for sure what the issue is but I cannot continue to spend money to continue to fix these sensors and they're new and they're hard to find where the shops that are fixing to my vehicle

Was driving in stop/go traffic - about 35-40 MPH. Went to hit the brakes and the brake pad wouldn't move. I pumped and nothing happened. No lights/warnings on the dash, and the car had functioned fine prior to then. I had to throw the car to neutral, try to veer into another lane, then pull emergency brake to keep from hitting another car. Warning then came across the dash saying "brake assist service needed" (or something to that effect). The car is now at the dealership- was told that the vacumn pump failed, the gear inside broke apart and the pieces have been taken into the engine, so they have to replace the pump and get the pieces out of the engine. No ABS warning prior, no other engine trouble or other warning lights prior to this happening. 86k miles, 2018 equinox.

When I need to accelerate to pass a vehicle or speed up from a off or on ramp, engine light, ABS light, check ESC light, all come on and cruise control is not able to be used. Engine has to be shut down. Transmission is slipping as well.

The electronic stability control system keeps shutting down, taking the ABS system with it. This seems to happen primarily when it's cold outside. When this happens the vehicle doesn't handle or stop as it should. Multiple repair attempts have yielded no change in the condition.

I bought my car to be dinghy towed. That means the car is pulled behind a motorhome with all 4 wheels on the ground.my first problem was the battery was dying when it was being towed. My next problem was that the brakes locked up when it was being towed causing the rear tires to be ground down past the tread into the belt section of the tires.if another motorist hadn't warned me I would have had 2 blowouts in the next minute or 2.when I pulled over I had a ABS warning on my control panel. I replaced the rear tires. I have the computer diagnostic that shows several failures including electronic brake control module,control module power plus low voltages.this is very unsafe and I would like to know if this car is safe to dinghy tow.
