I WAS DRIVING MY 2014 CHEVROLET EQUINOX, PURCHASED APPROXIMATELY 2 1/2 MONTHS AGO BRAND NEW (NOW WITH APPROXIMATELY 2500 MILES). AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN A VERY BUSY ROAD AT 50-55 MPH, SEVERAL WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON - ABS, STABILITRAK WARNING, SERVICE ENGINE - AND THE CAR BEGAN TO LOSE POWER. LUCKILY, I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR OFF THE ROAD. EVENTUALLY, THE LIGHTS WENT OFF AND THE CAR BEGAN TO DRIVE "NORMAL". HOWEVER, HAD THIS OCCURRED ON THE INTERSTATE OR IF I HADN'T BEEN ABLE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD, I FEEL THE SITUATION COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WOR…

I LOOKED AWAY FROM MY DRIVING FOR PERHAPS 2 SECONDS, WHEN MY CAR DRIFTED TO THE EDGE OF THE ROAD-- IT WAS RAINING AND THE GRASS WAS VERY SLICK AND PULLED ME ON INTO THE DITCH. WHILE TRYING TO GET OUT OF MY SLIDE, I HIT A ROAD SIGN WITH MY FRONT BUMPER. IMMEDIATELY, I WAS TOLD "AIRBAG DEPLOYED"... HOWEVER, IT DID NOT DEPLOY. I COULD SMELL SOMETHING, LIKE ELECTRICAL BURNING, BUT THE AIRBAGS STAYED INSIDE THEIR COMPARTMENT, OR WHATEVER.
