I'm also getting these FALSE messages (3). It's been three months or so from the first one, and every time I have been able to start my Equinox without a problem. My assumption is, as most electronic components are hypersensitive to voltage fluctuations, is that the vehicle's computer controller needs to be RESET - as do modems, PCs and laptops, when things become unresponsive.
Unfortunately, there's no other way but to disconnect the battery for at least 30 seconds in order to reset all components, at once. I will try that next time this happens to me and will post my experiences here, hopefully saying that in fact these messages were all false alarms.
