Car failed to start after a hard overnight rain storm the night before, then started after a 15 minute wait for the aaa. It has not occurred since. I am concerned about a loss of power while driving. Repeatedly turned key to start position, but no power to the starter. Had obd 2 diagnostic but not codes found, just wait to see if happens again.
2008 chevy Equinox - purchased may 2008. Nine (9) of the last eleven (11) months, the car has been in the shop for various warning lights; service battery charging system, service tire pressure monitoring system", & "service stabilitrak"on several occasions each. Each time, I was told that a module relay was replaced. They also eventually gave us a new battery and changed the starter. Now, the check engine light is lit up, and the "service stabilitrak" light is coming back on. The rear wiper will make a single sweep even when in the off position and the radio will start searching for a station even with a strong signal from an area station. If I have the cruise control on, the cd's will skip songs or restart itself. Most times, I am told that the issue needs to be happening when I bring it in. Unfortunately, it usually happens when on the highway or after hours. Therefore, nothing is done to correct the constant problems. I really feel like I purchased a lemon and even gave my dealer a copy of the texas lemon law, I do not feel comfortable taking even short length road trips for fear my car will fail to run properly. I feel as though I am stuck paying for a "lemon" car for four more years.
