This and all other gm vehicles have faulty anti lock brakes that do not function correct on snow or ice. What should be a normal stop in a normal distance turns into the brakes going into anti lock if even one wheel looses traction. This extends stopping distance by about 5 times what it would be without anti lock brakes.

Have had the car less than a year. Had it in the service shop 4-6 times for noisy breaks and squeal in the front coming from engine. Every time you put on the breaks it makes an awful noise.

The brake system is locking up different wheels because the module thinks traction has been lost. This caused my daughter to spin around and go off the road. The part is on back order through gm - I have tried to obtain one from other sources with no luck - all the parts places I spoke to have been waiting on these for months which tells me there is a lot of cars affected.

My 2015 chevrolet equinox has developed a spongey brake pedal,the car does stop but the pedal is spongey. Is it possible that gm has a bigger problem with vehicles that are covered under existing recall?
