I have a1017 Chev Equinox hooked to the blue ox system. I also have a wobble after making sharp turns or running on a really bad road. What to do it is serious?

Hey Doug. It looks like you need to pull the number 16 fuse in the engine compartment. GM sent out a bulletin about the 2010-2017 Chevy Equinox and 2010-2017 GMC Terrains with 4 cylinder engines. Pulling this fuse will address the wobble you're experiencing. You'll also need to install the Roadmaster Charge Line Kit item # RM-156-25.
I have attached the bulletin GM sent out below.
How long have you been flat towing your Equinox?
