What owners wrote
I owned two chevy equinoxes. The stabilitrak went on both vehicles without warning. The vehicle I drove to work I lost control of the vehicle when the stabilitrak went and my car was totaled.
While driving on city streets and highways the lights dim and the radio will shut off and all lights on the dash will bim and blink. When I have the cruz control on the car will start picking up speed, and one point I felt I was going a little to fast and when I looked down I was doing 83 MPH and I had the cruze control set to 60 MPH. Angel the driver seat will move down on its own while I am driving. I do not feel this is right. I called the dealer ship and they said it was more likely a fuse.
