When I bought the car a year ago after about 4 months in I started to notice a noise every time I turned left. It was a small noise so I didn't think much of it. I checked to see if there were any recalls and there are none.

Although my equinox is just a year old I'm having problems with the stabili-trak and power steering. The service light for both of these keeps coming on and both keep going out while I drive which is extremely dangerous. Also my electronic panel keeps going out.
