WARNING LIGHTS ON SAYING SERVICE STABILITRAK & TRACTION CONTROL
You will need to have those systems scanned to retrieve the trouble codes. You can then use those codes to help figure out what is going on. A high end scan tool will need to be used to get the codes. Any good shop or dealer will have one.

The Service Stabilitrak and Traction Control warning messages will come on when there is a problem in the Powertrain Control computer (engine and transmission), there may or may not be a check engine light on. The first step to start is to have the computer scanned for trouble codes. You can have this done free of charge at Auto Zone or visit some AutoShop with scanner reader; without the code, we could only guess.
You have a couple choices. You can go to a shop or dealer and have them scan the system and tell you what is wrong. Once they know the problem, they will quote the repair. You can also go to most any parts store and get the codes scanned for free but... they will not tell you what is wrong. they only give the code and what it means without full diagnostic.
If you go this route, you could come back to us and we can help narrow down once we know the code. In many cases when all these lights come on, it is one of the 4 wheel speed sensors. If one sensor goes bad, the lights come on, disable the system.
This is one of the more common problems we see. A wheel speed sensor price will vary as to if it is bought afternarket or through the dealer.

I would advise to take it to a shop you trust and let them scan your vehicle for trouble codes. From there they can give you an idea as to why these messages appeared. : )

{: ) Your stabilitrak system may not work properly. The vehicle need to be scanned for trouble codes. In case you get a C0196 code, the recommendation is to reprogram the electronic brake control module. I hope that's the only cause.

There are no safety recalls listed for your 2008 Chevrolet Equinox.
The Traction Control/Stabiltrak systems may have a problem of their own. However it is also common for these systems to be disabled and the warning lamps turned on due to malfunctions in the antilock brake system, the engine control system, the transmission control system, or certain body control malfunctions.
Due to the fact that some of these possible causes of these WARNING lamps being illuminated, may present safety issues, or possibly cause severe damage to vehicle components, I would say that assessing the CAUSE and the NATURE of the failure is VERY urgent. Only after the cause has been determined by proper diagnosis, can anyone tell you the urgency of actually REPAIRING the problem.
With that said, I would like to add that it is NEVER a good thing to ignore warning lamps even if the initial cause of them being illuminated has been determined to be a non-safety or a non-vehicle-damaging failure. The main reason for this is because if you are ignoring the warning lamps, you will now have NO WARNING when someting does fail that could cause property damage, serious injury, or death.
It is always best to keep your vehicle in top operating conditions at all times for reasons of SAFETY of yourself as well as others, FUEL ECONOMY, and longevity of the HUGE investment you have made in purchasing your vehicle.
