There are 7 owner-reported brakes complaints for the 2015 Chevrolet Equinoxin NHTSA's database. These are unverified consumer reports and may not reflect confirmed defects.
The contact owns a 2015 Chevrolet Equinox. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the ABS warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the ABS module had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The dealer was contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 69,000.
The brake system is locking up different wheels because the module thinks traction has been lost. This caused my daughter to spin around and go off the road. The part is on back order through gm - I have tried to obtain one from other sources with no luck - all the parts places I spoke to have been waiting on these for months which tells me there is a lot of cars affected.
The brakes stop working and then the card turns off
HAVE HAD THE CAR LESS THAN A YEAR. HAD IT IN THE SERVICE SHOP 4-6 TIMES FOR NOISY BREAKS AND SQUEAL IN THE FRONT COMING FROM ENGINE. EVERY TIME YOU PUT ON THE BREAKS IT MAKES AN AWFUL NOISE. WHEN YOU TURN THE CAR COMPLETELY OFF IT SQUEALS FROM THE ENGINE. THE SERVICE MANAGER STATED 'IT'S SUPPOSED TO SOUND LIKE THAT'
MY 2015 CHEVROLET EQUINOX HAS DEVELOPED A SPONGEY BRAKE PEDAL,THE CAR DOES STOP BUT THE PEDAL IS SPONGEY. IS IT POSSIBLE THAT GM HAS A BIGGER PROBLEM WITH VEHICLES THAT ARE COVERED UNDER EXISTING RECALL?
THIS AND ALL OTHER GM VEHICLES HAVE FAULTY ANTI LOCK BRAKES THAT DO NOT FUNCTION CORRECT ON SNOW OR ICE. WHAT SHOULD BE A NORMAL STOP IN A NORMAL DISTANCE TURNS INTO THE BRAKES GOING INTO ANTI LOCK IF EVEN ONE WHEEL LOOSES TRACTION. THIS EXTENDS STOPPING DISTANCE BY ABOUT 5 TIMES WHAT IT WOULD BE WITHOUT ANTI LOCK BRAKES. YESTERDAY AGAIN I ALMOST HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE WHEN I WHEN THROUGH AN INTERSECTION. I WAS NOT GOING THAT FAST AND WHAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN AN EASY STOP THE BRAKES WENT INTO ANTI LOCK AND THE CAR LOOSES ABOUT 90% OF IT'S STOPPING ABILITY. I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE TO KNOW GM CAR BRAKES BECOME USELESS ON SNOW AND ICE. THEIR IS NO REASON ANTI LOCK BRAKE EVEN NEED TO FUNCTION AT SPEEDS OF SAY UNDER 30 MPH AND SHOULD FUNCTION AT A DIFFERENT PULSE RATE IN TEMPERATURES UNDER 32 DEGREES.
MY WIFE WAS DRIVING OUR 2015 CHEVY EQUINOXS DOWN A 4 LANE HIGHWAY IN TOWN WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE ANTI COLLISION WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND BELLS WENT OFF AND THE FRONT BRAKES LOCKED UP FOR NO REASON WE BOUGHT THE CAR 2 MONTHS AGO AND IT HAS 7,000 MILES ON IT THE CAR IS CURRENTLY AT THE CHEVY DEALERS HERE IN TOWN BEI8NG LOOKED AT.
