2011 Chevrolet Equinox electronic stability control (esc) problems

“VEHICLE BEGAN EXPERIENCING ROUGH IDLE, POOR DRIVEABILITY, AND ALSO STALLED AT LOW THROTTLE OPENING WHILE LEAVING A PARKING LOT. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WITH CODE P0010”

“I DROVE HOME AND PARKED MY CAR. WHEN TO STARTED MY CAR THE FOLLOWING MORNING AND PUT IT IN DRIVE. MY CAR WOULD NOT MOVE FORWARD ONLY BACKWARDS. I HAD KNOW IDEA THAT MY TRANSMISSION WAS GOING. I WENT TO THE CHEVY DEALER MANY TIMES EARLIER FOR OIL CONSUMPTION AND MY THE SOUND OF MY TRANSMISSION AND THEY SAID THAT THE JUST SOUND OF THE CAR. IF THEY HAD BEEN HONEST AND TOLD ME THE TRUTH I COULD HAVE GOTTEN MY TRANSMISSION FIXED MANY YEARS EARLIER. THANKFULLY MY OIL CONSUMPTION WAS FIXED ONLY BECAUSE I CALLED CORPORATE AND PUSHED THE ISSUE. I BELIEVED THE DEALER WHEN HE TOLD ME ALL THE EQUINOX SOUND LIKE THAT. NOW I HAVE TO PAY OVER $3000.00 FOR THAT LIE. MY CAR IS BEING FIXED BY HOBBY'S TRANSMISSION IN HICKSVILLE, NY AS WE SPEAK. MY CAR IS A LEMON. CORPORATE TOLD ME THAT MY CARE WAS IN THE BATCH OF CARS THAT HAVE OIL CONSUMPTION. I WILL BE CALLING THEM ABOUT MY TRANSMISSION ON MONDAY, 6/22/20. *TR”

“I STARTED HAVING ISSUES AFTER A COUPLE MONTHS OF BUYING MY VEHICLE. MY RPM WOULD SPUTTER AND I WOULD ALWAYS CHECK MY OIL AND IT WOULD BE A QUART LOW. THIS WENT ON FOR MONTHS AND I CONTINUED TO DRAIN MONEY INTO MY VEHICLE WITH BUYING OIL. I REPLACED SEALS THINKING IT WAS A OIL LEAK AND IT WASN'T IT. MY ENGINE FINALLY WAS JUST SHOT SO NOW I'M OUT OF A CAR AND OWE MONEY ON IT STILL AND DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO REPAIR MY VEHICLE. I AM VERY UPSET WITH THIS MODEL OF VEHICLE BC I DID RESEARCH ON IT AND A LOT OF COMPLIANTS ON THIS CAR BURNING OIL. CRAZY THAT NO ONE IS DOING ANYTHING TO FIX THE ISSUE. I GUESS CHEVY IS CRAP NOW AND JUST WANT TO LOOSE CUSTOMERS. I WON'T BE BUYING A CHEVY AGAIN AND WILL NOT RECOMMEND”

“THIS SHOULD CLEARLY BE A RECALL BASED ON ALL THE POSTE EVERYONE IS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. ALL MY LIGHTS COME ON STABILITRACK, ABS, CHECK ENGINE, STEERING FLUID. I BARELY HAVE ANY POWER, AND MY SPEED SENSOR NO LONGER READS AT ALL. ALSO MY OIL BURNS EXTREMELY FAST. LINK TO FORUM WHERE EVERYONE IS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE.

“A FEW DAYS AGO AFTER WORK I STOPPED FOR GAS AND TOOK A DIFFERENT ROUTE HOME. I LIVE IN A CITY WITH TRAFFIC SO I IDLE A LOT. WHILE STOPPED, MY 'SERVICE STABILITRAK' AND 'ENGINE POWER REDUCED' CAME ON. THERE WAS NO WHERE I COULD GO BUT UP THE EXPRESSWAY. ONCE I SPED UP, THE CAR PROCEEDED TO TURN OFF. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER ONTO THE SHOULDER ON TOP OF THE EXPRESSWAY. AFTER THAT, THE CAR WOULDN'T TURN ON ANYMORE. AFTER ABOUT 30 MINUTES, EVERYTHING STARTED FLICKERING AND THEN IT HAD NO ELECTRICITY RUNNING AT ALL. NOT EVEN MY EMERGENCY LIGHTS. THIS WAS REALLY SCARY BECAUSE PPL ARE DRIVING REALLY FAST NEXT TO ME AND AND IT WAS ALREADY NIGHT TIME. I FINALLY GOT HELP AND HAD IT TOWED THE NEXT MORNING. THE KEY WAS STUCK IN THE IGNITION BUT STILL NO SIGN OF LIFE UNTIL AFTER IT WAS TOWED. I CAN'T AFFORD TO TAKE IT IN JUST YET BUT I AM EXTREMELY SCARED TO DRIVE IT AS I AM A SINGLE PARENT WITH NO FAMILY IN THIS NEW CITY.”

“SHORTLY AFTER I FINANCED THE VEHICLE IT STARTED HAVING ISSUES WHILE IDLING, IF I IDLE TOO LONG IT WILL START TO SHAKE AND WILL SHUT DOWN. I HAVE POURED MONEY INTO FIXING THE VEHICLE AND SPENT THE LAST TWO 3 YEARS TRYING TO FIX THE ORIGINAL ISSUE OF IT SHUTTING DOWN. I WILL LOSE THROTTLE IN THE GAS PEDAL AND IT WILL JUST TURN OFF OUT OF NOWHERE WHILE I'M DRIVING AWAY FROM MY HOME. IT SEEMS TO NOT LIKE WHEN I IDLE OR DRIVE SLOW WHEN I'M ON THE FREEWAY I HAVE TO MAKE SURE I'M DRIVING FAST THE GAS PEDAL KEEPS THROTTLE IF I DRIVE TOO SLOW IT'S A RISK FOR IT TO STARTING TO SHAKE AND SHUT DOWN AGAIN. WHILE TRYING TO FIND THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM MECHANICS HAVE FOUND PARTS THAT WERE YEARS PAST DUE OF NEEDING REPLACING. SO WHILE THEY THOUGHT THAT THAT WAS THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM AND IT LOOKED POSSIBLE WITH A CONDITION IT WAS IN EVERY TIME WE WOULD THINK THAT WE HAVE SOLVED THE PROBLEM UNTIL THE NEXT DAY WHEN I TRY TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE AND IT DOES THE SAME THING. I HAVE BEEN THROUGH FIVE MECHANICS TRYING TO SOLVE THIS ISSUE AND IT IS BECOMING A NIGHTMARE NOT EVEN THE DEALERSHIP COULD FIGURE IT OUT.”
