2008 Chevrolet Equinox

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE HOME LATE WHEN THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON TRACTION CONTROL CAME ON THEN SERVICE STABILITRAK LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED. MADE STEERING VERY DIFFICULT, LIKE OLD TIME TRUCK WOULD HAVE BEEN. LUCKILY KEPT CONTROL OR COULD HAVE RESULTED INTO SOMETHING VERY SERIOUS! BAD PART NO EARLY WARNINGS, VEHICLE BATTERY HAS NEVER BEEN JUMPED OR USED TO JUMP (READ SOMETHING ABOUT BLOWING MEGA FUSE ) VEHICLE 5 MONTHS PAST 5 YR. WARRANTY WITH ONLY 64265 MILES ON IT .I HAVE READ OF THIS OCCURRING TO MANY OTHERS, HOPEFULLY NO INJURIES.THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED. I AM TAKING IT TO THE DEALER TOMORROW. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH IN RAINY CONDITIONS, THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE MOVED SIDEWAYS UNCONTROLLABLY. SHE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS A NORMAL CHARACTERISTIC. IN ADDITION, THE ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR CONSISTENTLY ILLUMINATES ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE GAS CAPS WERE REPLACED THREE TIMES, BUT THE FAILURE TYPICALLY RESURFACES SHORTLY AFTER THE REPAIR. THIRDLY, THE RADIO:CD:TAPE:DECK FAILS SPORADICALLY AND PREVENTS A MUSIC CD FROM BEING EJECTED. LASTLY, THE AIR CONDITIONER DOES NOT BLOW OUT OF THE SIDE VENTS, WHICH PREVENTS AIR FROM DISSEMINATING PROPERLY. AS OF MARCH 31, 2009, THE TECHNICIANS ARE RE-INSPECTING THE VEHICLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 26,000. UPDATED 04/21/09. *LJ UPDATED 04/21/09.*JB
