problem #1

Equinox 6-cyl

Very erratic steering when changing lanes at 50 mph caused me to lose control and crashed into a grassy ditch. This was the second time I noticed the steering was very different then I have ever felt. After hitting the ditch the car rolled. Remarkably, I was not injured and both airbags deployed and my seat belt kept me from injury. There wasn't any broken glass. The car held up to the 5 star safety. My concern is the bobble effect when changing lanes and the too tight steering. Fortunately, no other vehicles were involved. My Equinox suffered about $10500 damage. $4500 were for the airbags and related parts. My car is still in getting fixed. My only complaint is the steering at highway speeds. I will no longer have confidence in driving this on the highway.
