2005-2009 Chevrolet Equinox: anti lock brakes and traction control lights on

Wed, 30 Dec 2020 21:29:33 -0700

I constantly feel and hear a pulse when breaking. Lights for the antilock brakes and traction control are always on on the dash. Maybe traction control is on all the time? Maybe the antilock brakes are always working? I'm not sure which. How do I fix this?

Chevrolet Equinox: Tire Pressure light won't turn off

Fri, 22 Jul 2022 04:49:45 -0700

I have a 2010 Chevy Equinox and the TPMS light flashes for about a minute when the in and will remain on after flashing . It has been this way for over a month since one of the tires did not have a tpms sensor, but the tire has one now and after that one tire got the new sensor, the TPMS system will not detect ANY tires at all whatsoever and the light continues to flash even though the tires are fine. How do I get this fixed? I tried to reset the tire learning but even then it still did not work.

2005-2009 Chevrolet Equinox: Rear end differential and axle

Sat, 30 Nov 2019 08:10:49 -0700

I'm having problems with our 2007 AWD Equinox which has 131,000 miles on it. It's in really good shape. We've replaced both front hubs twice. Last week my wife said she can feel a vibration when she accelerates. Had the tires rotated and spun balanced, still a vibration especially when going from a stop to 30 MPH. No vibration in the steering wheel or the gear shift lever. The seats vibrate, that's how bad it is. I'm afraid to take it to my dealer because it will cost me a diagnostic fee. I rocked the car back and forth in park and think the noise is from the differential or the axle? My local mechanic that I use for brakes etc. said they could look at it but it will probably be expensive! Does anyone have an idea?
