2007 Chevrolet Equinox Driver assistance Problems

The ECM in my vehicle appears to have an intermittent failure that can cause it to send the vehicle into WOT at any time at random. I was stopped at a traffic signal. It turned green, I let off the brake and my vehicle learched forward for a second, and then, all of a sudden launched into and hit the vehicle in front of me. I tried to push down the brakes, but they were too stiff, and, no, my foot did not even get a chance to press the gas yet. There was only minor damage to my vehicle, however, the situation was extremely scary. I have since changed out the ECM and have had no issues since. I have seen this issue once before on a similar vehicle, except, what happened with that is the vehicle was in a garage, and the ECM had failed nearly completely and stuck the vehicle in WOT. In my case, I was still able to drive the vehicle home, so the issue appeared to me intermittent. I still have the original ECM for further investigation. As I understand it, this ECM is in thousands of GM vehicles, across multiple lines. GM Part Number: 12611090.

WHILE DRIVING SUDDENLY STABLITRAK SERVICE LIGHT AND ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. DOOR LOCKS START UNLOCKING AND LOCKING, ALL LIGHTS START FLASHING AND CAR SLOWS DOWN. AT THE SAME TIME STEERING WHEEL BECOMES VERY TIGHT AND UNABLE TO TURN. HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING ANY SPEED. HAVE HAD MANY VISITS TO MECHANICS: ECM REPLACED AND PROGRAMMED WAS THE LAST ATTEMPT PRIOR TO THAT I HAD A NEW STARTED PUT ON. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE FOR CHEVROLET'S FROM MY RESEARCH. RECENTLY BOUGHT A USED 2014 CHEVY TRAVERSE LT AND I'M STARTED TO SEE THE SAME ISSUES AND I'VE ONLY HAD IT 1 WEEK. I'M VERY UPSET THESE MODELS AREN'T SAFE. TO MANY TIMES TO COUNT HOW MANY TIME IT'S HAPPENED MAYBE 30-40 IN 1 YEAR.

THIS VEHICLE IS ONE OF SEVERAL THAT HAVE BEEN REPORTED TO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH WHEEL SPEED AND PSI SENSORS, WHICH THEN CAUSES THE TRACTION CONTROL TO BELIEVE COMPUTER WISE IT HAS NO TRACTION, THEREFORE THE LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON AND THE COMPUTER SOMETIMES SHUT THE TRACTION CONTROL OFF WHEN IT NEEDS TO BE ON. IT ALSO HAS AIRBAG TROUBLE WITH THE PASSENGER SEAT, ALSO LIKE THE RECALL. HOWEVER, DESPITE THE FACT 2007'S WERE ISSUED THIS RECALL, IT'S SAYING MY 'VIN' DOES APPLY TO THESE RECALLS. FIND THAT HARD TO BELIEVE WHEN THESE THINGS ARE MESSED UP. JUST WANT GM MOTORS TO AWKNOWLEDGE IT'S POSSIBLE THAT THIS VEHICLE WAS MISMANUFACTURED.

I PURCHASED A 2007 CHEVY EQUINOX FROM A PRIVATE PARTY BACK IN JANUARY BUT DUE TO A MIX-UP WITH THE TITLE AND THE PREVIOUS OWNER I COULD NOT TITLE THE CAR AND START DRIVING IT UNTIL MARCH. I'VE NOTICED LATELY A STRONG SMELL OF GAS AND A VERY LOUD CLUNKING NOISE FROM THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT WHEEL. I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL SHOP IN MY TOWN AND WAS TOLD I HAD A GAS LEAK AT THE TOP OF THE TANK AND THAT THE SWAY BAR LINKAGE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED . IN DOING MY RESEARCH I FOUND THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE FUEL LEAK ON THE 2007 EQUINOXES AND THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE SWAY BAR LINKAGE GOING BAD AND THE SERVICE STABLE TRACK LIGHT CONSTANTLY STAYING ON. I ALSO HAVE THE PROBLEM STATING ALL WHEEL DRIVE OFF FLASHING ON MY SCREEN. I FOUND THAT MANY PEOPLE PUT THEIR VIN NUMBERS IN THE SEARCH WINDOW AND FOUND THEIRS NOT TO BE PART OF THE RECALL BUT I'M WONDERING WHY IF MORE THAN JUST THE PREVIOUS RECALLED VEHICLES ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WOULDN'T THEY WANT ANOTHER RECALL ISSUED FOR THE ONES THAT HAVEN'T BEEN REPAIRED. I JUST TOOK IT TO A GM DEALER TODAY IN MY HOMETOWN AND THEY WANT OVER $1,400 TO FIX JUST THE FUEL LEAKAGE PROBLEM I NEED TO KNOW WHAT GM IS GOING TO DO ABOUT IT. I DON'T HAVE 1400 EXTRA DOLLARS TO FIX THIS GAS LEAK AND I'M SCARED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE FOR FEAR OF IT STARTING ON FIRE.

PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT SHOWS NOT ON ALL THE TIME-WITH OR WITHOUT PASSENGER IN SEAT. MESSAGE TO SERVICE AIRBAGS ON ALL THE TIME. NOW SEATBELT LIGHT IS FLASHING EVEN WHEN IN USE. SERVICE STABILTRACK LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF. READING ALL THE OTHER COMMENTS I SEE THIS IS A COMMON COMPLAINT. RECENTLY HAD MY CAR IN TO REPLACE FUEL PUMP THAT WAS A RECALL FOR OTHERS BUT A "SPECIAL REPAIR" FOR MY CAR. TOLD DEALER ABOUT PROBLEMS WITH AIRBAG AND STABILITRAK AND WAS TOLD IT WOULD COST ABOUT $150.00 EACH TO DO THE DIAGNOSTIC TESTS. WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE FOR THESE PROBLEMS TO BECOME RECALLS FOR ALL THE AFFECTED CARS?

HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?TIME_CONTINUE=10&V=GDJL1_ROFHE PLEASE WATCH THE YOUTUBE LINK ABOVE TO CLEARLY SEE WHAT HAPPENED. I WAS DRIVING ON A ROAD WITH A 40 MPH SPEED LIMIT. FORTUNATELY NOBODY WAS IN FRONT OF ME FOR QUITE A WHILE BECAUSE THIS VERY EASILY COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A VERY DANGEROUS ACCIDENT. I WAS BEHIND A CAR GOING UNDER THE SPEED LIMIT SO I CHANGED LANES AND SAW THAT A CAR NOW BEHIND ME IN THE LANE I HAD MOVED INTO WAS DRIVING FAST SO I FLOORED MY ACCELERATOR TO MATCH SPEED AND AVOID CUTTING THEM OFF. AT THE POINT WHEN I BACKED OFF THE GAS I NOTICED THE PEDAL WAS STUCK FLOORED AND I WAS ACCELERATING ALARMINGLY FAST. ONLY BY PUMPING THE BREAKS REPEATEDLY AND KICKING THE GAS PEDAL DID I KNOCK IT LOOSE. THE INCIDENT PROBABLY LASTED 2-5 SECONDS AND I PROBABLY REACHED 50-55 MPH. IT WAS VERY FORTUNATE THAT NOBODY WAS AHEAD OF ME FOR A GOOD WAYS BUT IT WAS REALLY TERRIFYING. IF I HAD BEEN APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION OR RED LIGHT OR CROSSWALK OR JUST TRAFFIC UP AHEAD THIS COULD HAVE RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT. I CHECKED FOR OBSTRUCTIONS AND THERE WASN'T ANY JUNK DOWN AROUND THE GAS PEDAL. I STARTED TO THINK ABOUT MY FLOOR MAT AND REMEMBERED THAT I HAD REPLACED IT RECENTLY WITH A THICK RUBBER GOODYEAR MAT. THE BOTTOM OF THE MAT READS "DRIVER SIDE," "50-1000210," AND "JH 1700 K443. PHOTOS ATTACHED BELOW. THE BOTTOM OF THE GAS PEDAL HAD BECOME CAUGHT IN A GROOVE IN THE FLOOR MAT AND STUCK PRESSED ALL THE WAY DOWN. PHOTOS OF THE DOCUMENTATION ON THE FLOOR MAT ATTACHED BELOW.

2997 CHEVY EQUINOX - THE CAR WAS IN MOTION AROUND 60MPH, WHILE DRIVING THE BRAKES ACTIVATE BY THEMSELVES AND THE ABS, STABILITY TRACK LIGHTS COME ON. THE VEHICLE STALLED IN THE INTERSTATE SEVERAL TIMES. THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE WHEN I ACCELERATE. IT SEEMS AT IF ALL THE BRAKES ARE ACTIVE AND NOT ALLOWING THE CAR TO MOVE. AFTER ALMOST GETTING CLIPPED BY A SEMI I HAD TO THINK FAST. I READ THE MANUAL AND FOUND THE ABS FUSES. IN ORDER TO MOVE THE CAR I HAVE TO REMOVE THE ABS MOTOR FUSE AND THE ABS SYSTEM FUSE. THIS BYPASSES THE SYSTEM AND THE CAR IS ABLE TO MOVE. I HAVE TAKEN TO A MECHANIC AND THEY REPLACED DEALER PARTS ABS MODULE AND ABS MODULATOR "MOTOR". I PAID $1800 FOR THE REPAIR. CAR HAS SAME ISSUE AS I DROVE A WAY FROM SHOP. WHEN IT STALLED AFTER REPAIR I REMOVED THE FUSES AGAIN AND DROVE IT BACK TO THE SHOP FOR REPAIR AGAIN. SHOP SAYS THESE PARTS REPLACED ARE DEALER PARTS AND THEY WILL REPLACE AGAIN WITH NEW PARTS. CALLED THE CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP ON THIS AND THEY MENTION THAT THERE IS NO ISSUE/RECALL WITH THIS AT THE TIME. THE CAR HAS $80K MILES AND HAS BEEN AT THE SHOP FOR TWO WEEKS STILL UNDER DIAGNOSTICS TO TRY TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE. FRUSTRATED!

WHILE DRIVING EITHER ON CITY OR FREEWAY THE CAR STARTED SHAKING, JERKING, AND VIBRATING REALLY BADLY WHEN APPLIED PRESSURE TO THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT GAIN SPEED, INSTEAD IT WOULD SLOW DOWN AND IT FELT LIKE GAS WAS NOT GOING TROUGH. IT FIRST STARTED 3 MONTHS AGO TOOK IT TO FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND THE RECOMMENDATION I RECEIVED FROM SERVICE AGENT WAS TO GET FUEL SYSTEM CLEANED AND CHANGE THE TRANSMISSION FLUIDS WHICH COST ME AROUND $298. THE SAME DAY IT DID THE SAME THING WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, SO I LET IT BE FOR A WHILE BUT IT CONTINUES WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND HAVE CONTACTED SERVICE AGENT BUT HAVE NO SOLUTION FOR ME. THE OTHER ISSUE IT HAS IS THE KEY ALWAYS GETS STUCK, AND NEED TO TURN THE CAR BACK ON THEN TURN THE WHEEL, BUT SOMETIMES IT TAKES MORE THAN THIS TO GET THE KEY OUT FROM THE IGNITION SWITCH.
