2007 Chevrolet Equinox

STABILITRACK ON THE 2007 CHEVY EQUINOX WILL REDUCE THE POWER TO THE ENGINE AND THE ENGINE WILL CUT OFF WHILE DRIVING, SOMETIMES, LEAVING NO BREAKS TO COMPLETELY STOP. I WAS DRIVING OUT TO LUNCH THE FIRST TIME WHEN I APPROACHED A RAILROAD TRACK WHOSE BARRIER WAS COMING DOWN, AS I WAS ONLY GOING 25 MPH, I STARTED SLOWING DOWN. MY ENGINE CUT OUT BUT THE CAR CONTINUED TO GO FORWARD. THE BREAKS WOULDN'T WORK AND FINALLY GOT IT TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP BEFORE HITTING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME (WHO WAS RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE BARRIER). TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND HAD THEM CLEAN OUT THE AREA AROUND THE THROTTLE SENSOR. APR 08, 2010, I HAD MY CAR DIE ON MY TWICE IN LESS THAN 12 HOURS WHILE DRIVING IT. THE SECOND TIME WAS RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY 4 WAY STOP. LUCKILY, IT CONTINUED TO ROLL UNTIL IT STOPPED A FEW FEET AWAY ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. STEERING WAS DIFFICULT ENOUGH WHEN UPSET THAT YOU MIGHT CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. NOW THE DEALERSHIP WON'T SEE ME UNTIL MONDAY (THIS IS MY ONLY MODE OF TRANSPORTATION) AND I WILL PROBABLY HAVE TO PAY THEM AGAIN TO FIX A PROBLEM THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN SOLVED LESS THAN 2 MONTHS AGO! *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, A SERVICE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED, WHICH READ "SERVICE STABILITY TRACK AND ENGINE POWER REDUCED". THE VEHICLE STALLS AND STOPS AND, WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE. THE CONTACT HAS TO WAIT AND CONTINUOUSLY APPLY PRESSURE TO THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL IN ORDER FOR THE VEHICLE TO ACCELERATE AGAIN. THE VEHICLE WOULD ONLY TRAVEL APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION AND THEY STATED THAT THERE WERE NO CURRENT FAILURES. NO REPAIRS WERE MADE TO THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT NO COMPENSATION WOULD BE MADE BECAUSE THERE WERE NO DIAGNOSTIC CODES DISPLAYING THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER CALLED THE DEALER AND HAD THE RECORDS CHECKED FOR EACH TIME THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN IN FOR THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 24,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VERY FIRST DAY HE TOOK THE VEHICLE HOME, IT BROKE DOWN. ALL THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS ILLUMINATED AND FLICKERED, AND THE VEHICLE WOULD STALL. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE WOULD COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN AND LOST ALL POWER STEERING AND BRAKING ABILITY. THE COMPUTER WOULD RESET ITSELF AND THEN RESTART. THE FAILURE WOULD OCCUR INTERMITTENTLY. HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER APPROXIMATELY 14-15 TIMES AND THEY ATTEMPTED TO REPAIR THE FAILURE, BUT IT WAS NEVER REMEDIED. AFTER HE STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS A LEMON, THE DEALER STATED THAT NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. HE CONSULTED THE MANUFACTURER AND WAS INFORMED THAT IF THE DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 6,025 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 10.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. EVER SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED, THE CONTACT HEARD A TICKING SOUND IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. HE STATED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD POOR FUEL MILEAGE. THE CONTACT ALSO HAD TO JUMP FROM THE VEHICLE BECAUSE THE SERPENTINE BELT CAUGHT A WIRE THAT WAS NOT IN A WIRING HARNESS AS IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN. THE CONTACT ALSO EXPERIENCED STABILATRAC FAILURE ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS, WHICH CAUSED THE POWER STEERING TO FAIL. HE HAS BEEN INJURED TWICE BECAUSE THE REAR HATCH DOOR STRUTS FAILED AND STRUCK HIM IN THE HEAD. THE TIRES THAT CAME ON THE VEHICLE WERE SEVERELY WORN AND THE TURN SIGNALS WOULD NOT SHUT OFF. THE TWO FRONT DOORS AND THE REAR HATCH DOOR CRACKS AND MAKES SQUEAKING NOISES. SOME REPAIRS HAVE BEEN MADE; HOWEVER, THE REAR HATCH NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED ALONG WITH THE TICKING SOUND IN THE ENGINE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 170 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 26,000.

TOOK MY 2007 CHEVROLET EQUINOX TO VALVOLINE FOR AN OIL CHANGE AT 4,365 MILES. I WAS TOLD THAT THE FRONT MAIN SEAL WAS LEAKING ON THE ENGINE AND THAT I HAD NO OIL IN MY ENGINE. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR. THIS VEHICLE HAS FAILED IN THE FIELD UNDER 5,000 MILES. I WILL BE REQUESTING THAT THE ENGINE GOES BACK TO THE PLANT SO THAT THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN TO ANYONE ELSE. NEW ENGINE WILL BE SUPPLIED. *TR
