Brake pedal started vibrating almost uncontrollably when attempting to stop so I had brake pads replaced. When I picked up the car the technician told me my pads were still good and hadn't needed changing but they changed anyway. The next shop resurfaced my rotors but the problem persisted. It stopped on it's own but every once in a while it will do it still.

When pressing on the brake pedal you get constant vibration causing you to skid. It happens when your going straight or turning when you press on the brake pedal. It almost caused me to skid into the car in front of me. And also defrost is not working causing visibility issues especially in the cold and snow.

Front brake calipers seized up. Over-heating due to excessive friction from brakes locking. Front end started shaking due to front end brakes seizing while in motion. Front calipers smoking due to excessive friction build up. I was on us 265 in new albany, in. Shaking seemed to subside a bit while turning.

While turning on the car and driving the tc, brake light, ABS, engine, and air bag lights turn on and the car turns off but continues to drive. As you drive it continues to ring the bells and turn on of the off and on including the radio. You can also pull the key out and it continues to drive. All this on highway and city streets.

As I was at stop light 3 days ago and at a low speed and about to stop my ABS braking system activated without any indicator lights and in doing so it released the brakes even though I was still pressing them. I avoided hitting the car ahead of by shoving it into park. It does it every time I attempt to stop and now have to use my emergency brakes to actually come to a complete stop when ABS activates and releases brakes. Dealership recommended I replace my front brakes and they tried to say it was also the tires. They were able to reproduce it but never fixed the problem. They did not let me know it wasn't fixed and nearly rolled out onto a heavy traffic road. I called them and informed them what had happened and asked why they let me drive a unsafe vehicle but when I asked that they remove the fuse for the ABS system until I can figure out what is wrong. They said that was unsafe and not legal for them to remove the fuse. I asked pohanka Chevy how is that any more or less unsafe then no brakes to stop. It is the ABS braking system that is failing for some reason and why hasn't this been recalled to fix. Pohanka only offered a apology but will not fix or help and I now have a unsafe vehicle that could fail me and cause me to have a accident. I spent $785.41 and they did not fix the issue. I have also reported them to my state attorney general's consumer division office. I have owned this vehicle for 12 years and I am the original owner of it. Never had this kind of problem until 3 days ago. Do a recall on this ABS braking system!

Brakes locking in the 20-35 mph range. Locks while slowing down and van smells vehicle getting hot. Have taken to a Firestone and Chevy dealer and completed all suggested repairs, although no one was able to give me a definitive reason to the brakes locking. Repairs did not fix brake locking issue.

At a low speed brakes were applied and the car continued to move forward without stopping. It seemed as if the ABS system engaged. No brakes as my car continued to move forward at this low speed eventually rear ending another car as mine never stopped. The brakes had just been replaced 2 years prior. I had this car checked several times for this same inconsistent brake issue but nothing was never found. At times there would be a grinding noise when applying the brakes and my foot would just go to the floor with no stopping. I am very disappointed that GM has never addressed this issue. I have spent so much money over the years to try and address the issue and no mechanic could ever figure it out. Now my car is totaled and I have an insurance bill that is not only costly but not fair. GM seems to have taken no accountability and I just hope no one ends up hurt. I can't even imagine if I was trying to stop at a crosswalk what may have happened. I was borrowing my grandfathers car and feel terrible.

Within the last month while I am driving my truck would just cut off with out any warning in the middle of traffic. I have had a tune up, the left wheel barring changed, front struts done and I have just brought a PCM. My ABS and tc lights stays on and my mechanic can not explain why it keeps cutting off. I have checked for recalls for this year and there are none listed; however, I have seen some on the NHTSA service bulletin. Can someone please assist me this is very dangerous!!!!

A few weeks ago while driving my vehicles ABS and traction control lights came on, right after that the brakes have started making a loud grinding noise or lock up altogether to where I can't stop. I have done plenty of research over this and it seems to be a recurring thing with these vehicles. If everyone of them is having this issue and the brakes are that dangerous, how has there not been a recall. This happens everytime I drive, whether going down an interstate and having to hot my brakes to just driving in a small town, then when I try and go again they make the grinding noise while driving for a minute.

I feel this vehicle is a danger, when I brought this vehicle just gave me a problem, when I go running the car it goes away and I feel scared, the lights never turn off and I fixed everything, always has noise when the vehicle is running in the street. Me regret having bought it.

Bought my 06 eqinox in may of 2015. Day 2, battery died. Dealer put new battery in. Next week, battery dead and took out stereo with it. Dealer replaced battery and stereo. Now having trouble starting again. Have replaced brake pads and rotors twice on rear wheels and front once. Car makes grinding noise still when backing with foot on the brake. ABS and tc lights came on may of 2017. Had checked out and needed front right wheel speed sensor replaced. Replaced it and light stayed on. Had it rechecked and it still reads the same. No brakes. Pedal stutters on the way down and then has to be forced down the rest of the way to stop the car. Had mechanic look at it and was told to replace ABS module. We did and I finally have brakes again but now my break light is on along with the ABS/tc lights. Car has sunroof. Had car 2 years and all of a sudden my back floor is flooded. Thought the kids spilled water. Nope. Soaked a beach towel cleaning it up. Next hard rain, flooded again. Lines are clogged and backing up into my car. Two beach towels and two gallons later of water vacuumed up and my padding is damp and still stinks like mildew. This car is badly designed. The brake situation is very dangerous. Luckily there was an empty turn lane beside me when it rained or I would have hit the car in front of me. The brake pedal would go to the floor when turning and wouldnt stop on straightaways. The electrical wiring in the drivers side door is jacked up too. Can't unlock the doors, turn on dome light and doesn't shut off radio.

While accelerating the vehicle isnt shifting in the proper way it should. There is a chain rattling kind of sound from the engine as it accelerates, closer to the driver side. While braking, the brakes pads are all new, it will sometimes make a grinding sound and have little to no brake resistance if you hit a bump. All in a straight motion.

ABS engages at low speeds, makes brake pedal very difficult to depress and difficult to stop vehicle. (this occurs regardless of turning/going straight, and happens randomly when the brake pedal is pressed and/or when it's released, and sometimes when I'm not touching the brake pedal at all.) this occurs daily, and after some time, the ABS and traction control warning lights will come on in the dashboard. Once the warning lights activate, the problem goes away. Serviced in 4/2017 at certified garage, and wheel hub assembly was replaced. The problem persists. Online auto forum research shows many early model Equinox owners experiencing the same exact issue, going all the way back to 2011. Https://chevroletforum.com/forum/Equinox-23/2006-Chevy-Equinox-lt-ABS-traction-control-light-problems-41758/ the majority of the complaints list a pigtail wire harness as the solution. Chevrolet has no recalls that I've found - but clearly there are a number of Equinox owners experiencing the same issues, with no response from Chevrolet. I've been fortunate enough that this hasn't caused an accident yet... but I believe this issue should be examined before something destructive or tragic occurs. I will continue to attempt to have the issue diagnosed at certified ase garages.

When I first bought the vehicle with 77,000 miles, I notice a gallon of water in spare wheel well. Had to reseal rear door whether stripe. 5 months later the actuator of the heater failed and broke the blend door to the heater. I didn't have heat for a year. Brake system sensors failed 3 months ago $2000 fixed hub and assembly and knuckles. Fuel injection line broken at only 100,000 miles.

My wife and I have a 2006 Chevy Equinox a few months ago the ABS and traction control light repeatedly started coming on causing the brake pedal to pulsate. I took it to a mechanic they replaced all of the hub bearings seeing the codes we pulled those the lock ring was bad. Did no good scan the vehicle again different codes came out. This is a very dangerous problem that I see many people are having with the Equinox there needs to be a recall. I plan on contacting my attorney tomorrow to see if there's anything he can do about it I'm already $1,000 and repair over a problem that should have been recalled.

Sounds like the brakes grinding, starts unsafe stopping distance and happens out of blue, I have to constantly keep trying to push the brakes so it can stop. At times brakes will also be hard as rock no warning and have no brakes at all, been happening off and on. ABS/tc lights on, I was told I needed new hub bearing assembly, rotors and brake pads, all was changed and still not fixed. I keep reading about a pig tail harness but don't know the correct part number or its location. Started around March/2016 and its ongoing, almost got hit yesterday because the truck wouldn't brake

Grinding, moaning, starts unsafe stopping distance and happens out of blue, ABS/tc lights off and on, so far everything I have read online it seems to be a wheelspeed sensor or harness. At times brakes will also be hard as rock no warning and have no brakes at all. Been happening for awhile off and

The contact owns a 2006 Chevrolet Equinox. While driving at slow speeds with the brake pedal depressed, an abnormal noise was heard. The brakes seized and the ABS warning light illuminated. The failure was persistent. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where the failure could not be determined. The contact repaired the brakes, but the failure recurred numerous times. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 133,785.

My Chevy Equinox has been in two different shops including Chevrolet numerous times. I have spent plenty of money. But, still have a problem with ABS & traction control lights periodically coming on and with the uncertainty that my brakes are going to work properly every time I attempt to drive. I don't understand with the number of complaints on this exact problem why is there no recall" it is very unsafe. Chevy has been guessing and just changing different parts that didn't need changed. They even talked to corporate office and said they didn't know what it was for sure. Please tell me how that is possible? when it apparently isn't a isolated incident. They acted like they never heard of this problem. This site is evidence its a problem! I was told by person/persons at both shops it was safe to drive. Are they driving the same car I'm driving" because it is definitely not safe to drive. Brakes lock up randomly or grind as car continues to move forward several feet even once brakes are applied. It matches description of other complaints along with the pulsation. I have probably ten different invoices but it won't let me load all of them and the problem still remains.
