My 2005 chevy Equinox's brakes started vibrating when I would try to stop and then the abs and tc lights would come on. Replaced front breaks, was told back breaks were okay. Still had the same problem and after awhile the brakes would vibrate even when not breaking and sometimes have trouble stopping until the abs and tc light comes on. 1st diagnostic determined I needed a right front wheel speed scensor. Replaced it and 2 days later had the same problem. Next I was told it needed the left wheel speed scensor. Replaced it. 2 days later starting having the same problem. Then I was told it needed the right front wheel bearing. Replaced both front wheel bearings. Still have a problem only now the breaks only vibrate and lights come on on hills, when turning or going at higher speeds.
The t/c light stays on and acceleration is very slow. Car shoots forward with loud noise with acceleration. Nov 4th started. . . I took it to a car shop and they said I need to replace the transmission control system. . .
The vehicle abs system start to fail at 50,000 miles. When you start driving the vehicle it makes the abs diagnostic and fail the diagnostic. It's continue to make the diag. While your are driving until it fail. Then the vehicle continue operating normaly but without abs and traction control. The abs and traction control ligths is on. If you brake in bad wheather the wheels lock and abs don't protect. 3 diferent mechanics try to find the fault unsuccesful. They replaced, abs modules, some brake parts and other parts but the fail continue. This is a very dangerous situation.
