Soon after I had my Roadmaster tow bar serviced at an RV Rally,
I was in San Diego. After bottoming out my hitch receptacle leaving a
particularly uneven intersection, the Equinox began lurching violently from
right to left, causing Colectiva to actually sway from the force. I came to an
abrupt and complete stop, but when I slowly pulled forward to find a place to
pull off the road, it stopped. This has happened a handful of times since then,
and the same routine stops it. I assumed it had something to do with tightening
up the tow bar with new components, but since I now know how to stop it, I haven’t
really investigated it further.
Until I read the October issue of Motorhome magazine. Apparently,
a large number of Chevrolet Equinox owners who tow their 4-cylinder models report
this same issue. Apparently, it doesn’t plague the 6-cylinder models, only the
4. Apparently, Chevrolet has acknowledged the volume of complaints from Equinox
4-cylinder owners but has no idea why this seems to happen. They still officially
list the vehicle as flat towable. Chevy says that they will continue to
investigate and will post any findings.
I guess it wasn’t just me! Oh, and sorry Roadmaster, not you
either!
Talk to you soon!
