Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Oct 8, was in class for 30 minutes came out car was dead, everything worked but started just clicked. called roadside assistance.. took too long; called campus security got a jump start, car drove fine died again until oct 13. jump started again, oct 18 died again, called roadside assistance had it towed to herb adcox chevy. they still have it and say it is running fine...no diagnostic problems showing on computer. filed an issue with 800chevusa.... they say even though i have an extended warranty(car still in original warranty now) that this issue may not be covered. the car is only two years old i am the original owner. chevy cannot find any problems so i am stuck wondering when it will die again. i also reported noxious fumes (smells like rancid butter)most likely from antifreeze problem like other 2005 equinox's and a brake shimmy problem at highway speeds(entire car seems unstable). this is the last chevy i will ever buy. i hate to even trade it in and give the issues to someone else. this is wrong. i believe chevy is aware of these issues and doing nothing to recall or repair them. i was told if there is no diagnostic there is no problem. *jb
