Cruise Control problems of the 2012 Chevrolet Equinox

I went to slow down my vehicle to exit off of freeway. Upon touching the brake, the care accelerated and stcu until I hit the brake. I phoned gm via onstar as this scared me. I thought it was a fluke however I still wanted it documented. This past week, July 28th 2014, I once again was traveling and went to slow down to take off cruise control and my rpm's jumped and stuck at 6-7. I could feel and hear them engine as the acceleration appeared to be stuck (again) this is very concerning happening twice now, both of which I believe have something to do with the cruse control as both incidents I had cruise control set and braking to slow down. Not hard brakes, gentle. Last summer of 2013, I had a rear right tire blow out going over 70 miles an hour on the highway. I did not know until now there was a recall. I phoned (pushed button) onstar after the incident as a tow truck had to come and take to the dealership. I had to replace all 4 tires on my than year old vehicle approx. 29000 miles on it. I had advised onstar I had no warning and wanted to know why the system did not alert em but no one had an answer. Also, when I first purchased my Equinox in July 2012, the car had a knock and I reported it. Can you please help me. On this last incident last week with the accelerator sticking, I pushed my onstar button advising them what had happened and to please transfer me to gm care so I could let them know, however, after remaining on hold for to long I hung up. No one has followed up with me regarding either incident. Thank you, tammy countryman.

2012 Chevrolet Equinox. Consumer writes in regards to vehicle transmission issues. A month after purchasing the vehicle, the consumer stated the vehicle was sluggish, as the transmission was not shifting correctly. The next occurrence happened on January 2, 2013. The consumer stated before he could come to a complete stop, the vehicle stopped on its own, as if she hit a stone wall. The vehicle was taken back to the purchase dealer, but they were unable to find a problem. Also, the vehicle would stall, when slowing down. There was a noise coming from the front end. The dealer called the consumer to let him know, they ordered some bolts, so they could be bolted to the frame. On another occasion, while the cruise control was set, the consumer applied the brake, but the vehicle did not stop.

The contact owns a 2012 Chevrolet Equinox. While driving approximately 75 mph, the contacts erroneously brushed against the roller button for the cruise control. The cruise control activated and the vehicle accelerated abnormally. The contact stated that the failure occurred sporadically and was concerned with the placement of the cruise control switch, stating that the component was positioned awkwardly on the steering wheel where his hands were. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that the vehicle was designed with the button in that manner and they were unable to assist. The contact stated he would have the cruise control disabled. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 100. Updated 12/12/lj the consumer stated the cruise control would lock in at any speed if the cruise control roller switch was brushed against accidently while driving. But, often at times the speed that locked in was higher than the speed he was travelling.
