2007 Chevrolet Equinox complaints

THE IGNITION SWITCH/LOCK CYLINDER IS STICKING AND WON'T TURN SOMETIMES, CAUSING THE CAR TO NOT START.

WHILE DRIVING EITHER ON CITY OR FREEWAY THE CAR STARTED SHAKING, JERKING, AND VIBRATING REALLY BADLY WHEN APPLIED PRESSURE TO THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT GAIN SPEED, INSTEAD IT WOULD SLOW DOWN AND IT FELT LIKE GAS WAS NOT GOING TROUGH. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. SOMETIMES THE KEY WILL NOT COME OUT OF THE IGNITION AND I HAVE TO TURN THE CAR BACK ON THEN TURN THE WHEEL, BUT SOMETIMES IT TAKES MORE THAN THIS TO GET THE KEY OUT FROM THE IGNITION SWITCH. I HAD VEHICLE TOWED TO A CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG OR COULD DUPLICATE PROBLEM. WHEN I PICKED UP THE CAR I HAD DRIVE IT 15 MILES AND THE CAR STARTED DOING THE SAME THING.

A FEW MONTHS AGO, I TOOK MY CAR INTO THE DEALER TO DIAGNOSE A CHECK AIRBAG LIGHT. $122 LATER, MY VEHICLE WAS FOUND TO HAVE A "FAULTY PASSENGER PRESENCE MODULE." I WAS QUOTED OVER $1000 IN REPAIRS AND GIVEN NO OTHER OPTIONS. I DECLINED THE REPAIRS IN LIEU OF CONFIRMING WITH AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AS I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH THAT SERVICE DEPARTMENT BEFORE REGARDING A FAULTY FUEL SYSTEM (WHICH WAS RECALLED AND I WAS NOT INFORMED). MY INDEPENDENT MECHANIC CONFIRMED THE PASSENGER SENSING UNIT WAS NOT WORKING PROPERLY AND AFTER FURTHER INVESTIGATION, I FOUND THAT THIS PART (MUCH LIKE THE DEBACLE WITH MY FUEL PUMP) WAS ALSO A RECALLED. I AM REFERRING TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN#07V344000. MY VIN# IS INCLUDED WITHIN THE DESIGNATED VIN BREAKING POINTS; HOWEVER, IT DOES NOT QUALIFY INDIVIDUALLY. I FIND THIS INFURIATING. IF THE PART IS KNOWN TO BE FAULTY, AND IT'S THE SAME PART PLACED INTO PONTIAC/CHEVY VEHICLES THEN WHY ARE ONLY SOME OF THESE FAULTY PARTS INCLUDED IN THE RECALL???? THIS WAS THE SAME SITUATION WITH MY FAULTY FUEL PUMP, IN WHICH I PAID CASH FOR THE PART AND REPAIRS AND THEN 6 MONTHS LATER RECEIVED A LETTER FROM GM STATING MY VIN# WAS NOW INCLUDED. I PHONED THE DEALER AND GM DIRECTLY AND THEY OFFERED ME NO OPTIONS OTHER THAN PAY $611 FOR THE PART AND ESTIMATED ANOTHER $500 IN LABOR. I HAVE FOUND ON NUMEROUS GM FORUMS THAT THIS ISSUE WITH THE PPM IS VERY COMMON WITH 2007-2009 PONTIAC AND CHEVY VEHICLES WITH THOSE OWNERS GETTING THE SAME EXCUSE FROM GM AND NO RECALL COVERAGE. I AM HOP

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED NO PERMANENT REMEDY FOR THE CONDITION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

IN THE MONTH OF FEBRUARY 2016 VEHICLE STARTED TO TELL ME THAT IT WAS OVERHEATING. THE HEAT WAS BLOWING COLD AIR. WITHOUT GOING ANY PLACE BUT SITTING IN THE DRIVEWAY IT STARTED TO TELL ME THAT THE ENGINE WAS OVERHEATING AND TO TURN A/C OFF. I COULD STILL HEAR THE FAN RUNNING WHILE DRIVING AND ONCE I PARKED IT WOULD RUN FOR A WHILE. WHY IS THIS NOT A RECALL WITH ALL THE COMPLAINTS THAT I SEE ON THIS SUBJECT ANY HELP WOULD BE NICE

WARNING NOTICE TO SERVICE AIRBAG IS ON AND WILL NOT GO OFF. THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ILLUMINATED FOR THE PASSENGER AND DRIVER. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR IN TO HAVE THIS ISSUED CHECKED; HOWEVER, THE TECHNICIANS STATED THERE WAS NO ISSUES AND COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM TO FIX. I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT AIR BAGS WILL MALFUNCTION WHILE TRANSPORTING MYSELF AND/OR FAMILY AS THIS IS A ONGOING ISSUE 2007 EQUINOX. GM IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AND REFUSES TO RECALL.

CAR SPUTTERS AND STALLS SOMETIMES WHILE DRIVING AND SOMETIMES WHEN EXCELERATING.CAN BE DRIVING DOWN THE STREET OR GETTING ONTO THE FREEWAY.

I HAVE NO HEAT. THE FAN BLOWS BUT ONLY COLD AIR. THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT IN EQUINOX AND TORRENT MODELS WITH REPAIR COSTS OF OVER $1,000.00. WHY ISN'T GM TAKING RESPONSIBIITY FOR THEIR FAILURES?

THE CAT WAS PAKED IN THE DRIVEWAY I REMOTE STARTED IT AND WHEN I FINALLY GOT TO MY VEHICLE TO LEAVE THE STEERING WHEEL WAS HARD TO MANEUVER. NOW I RECENTLY PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE A MONTH AGO FROM A DEALERSHIP AND WAS GIVEN THE RESPONSIBILITY TO PAY FOR THIS BUT TO NO AVAIL I COMPLAINED BECAUSE I AM A NEW OWNER AND THAT SHOULD NOT BE A REPAIR I'M RESPONSIBLE FOR. BUT THAT DIDN'T STOP THEM FOR MAKING ME PAY A DEDUCTIBLE AS IF IT WAS NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. THIS DIDN'T SIT RIGHT ON MY HEART SO I FIGURED TO DO SOME INTERNET SEEKING AND FOUND THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS POWER STEERING MODULE I'M SURE THE DEALERSHIP KNEW THIS BEFORE SELLING IT TO ME. VERY DISPLEASED!

ON NOVEMBER 17TH THE VEHICLE STARTED TO TELL ME THAT IT WAS OVERHEATING AND TO TURN A/C OFF. A/C WAS NOT EVEN ON BECAUSE IT WAS COLD AND THE HEAT WAS BLOWING COLD AIR. THE VEHICLE THEN TOLD ME WHILE I WAS TRYING TO GET TO A SAFE LOCATION TO PULL OVER THAT THE ENGINE POWER WAS REDUCED AND THE VEHICLE STATED TO CRAWL ALONG THE ROAD. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS LOOKED AT WHERE I PULLED OVER THERE WAS MINIMAL OIL IN THE VEHICLE AND IT HAD BLOW COOLANT ALL OVER THE DRIVER SIDE WHEEL WELL FROM WHAT LOOKED LIKE THE OVERFLOW TUBE. OIL WAS PUT IN THE VEHICLE SO THAT I COULD DRIVE IT TO A SAFE LOCATION. ON NOVEMBER 18TH I WENT TO START THE VEHICLE TO GO TO WORK AND WITHOUT GOING ANY PLACE BUT SITTING IN THE DRIVEWAY IT STARTED TO TELL ME THAT THE ENGINE WAS OVERHEATING AND TO TURN A/C OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED. THE DEALERSHIP THAT I USE WORKED ON IT AND REPLACED THE TEMP CONTROL AND THERMOSTAT AND DID A COMPLETE OIL CHANGE. IN THE FEW DAYS AFTER THIS WORK WAS DONE I COULD STILL HEAR THE FAN RUNNING WHILE DRIVING AND ONCE I PARKED IT WOULD RUN FOR A WHILE. ON NOVEMBER 25TH I WAS DRIVING AND THE VEHICLE STATED TO SAY ENGINE OVERHEATING AND TO TURN A/C OFF ONCE AGAIN I HAD TO TRAVEL A SHORT DISTANCE TO GET A SEMI SAFE LOCATION TO PULL OVER SINCE THE ENGINE POWER WAS REDUCED AGAIN AND THE VEHICLE CRAWLED ALONG. THE HEATER WAS BLOWING COLD AIR I COULD HEAR THE FANS RUNNING INSIDE THE VEHICLE AS WELL. THIS WAS THE SECOND TIME I HAD TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED IN A WEEK. IT IS NOW NOVEMBER 30TH AND I

OVER THE PAST FEW DAYS, MY STABILITRAK LIGHT HAS COME ON AND OFF WHILE DRIVING OR JUST SITTING IN THE CAR. PULLING INTO MY DRIVEWAY TODAY I NOTICED THAT THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON FOR THE STABILITRAK. I PROCEEDED TO DRIVE AND THEN SUDDENLY IT BECAME INCREASING HARD TO MANEUVER MY STEERING WHEEL ALMOST TO THE POINT WHERE IT FELT AS IF IT HAD LOCKED UP ON ME. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR BACK HOME BUT AS I WAS DRIVING I NOTICE MY AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON AND WILL NOT GO OFF AT ALL. AFTER MAKING IT BACK TO INTO MY DRIVEWAY I CUT OFF THE IGNITION WAITED A FEW MINUTES AND TURNED THE CAR BACK ON TO SEE IF THIS WOULD HELP EITHER OF THE PROBLEMS BUT TO NO AVAIL. I HAVE NOW TAKEN THE CAR TO MY LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALER AND THEY HAVE INFORMED ME THAT THEY HAVE SEN THIS ISSUE WITH A NUMBER OF EQUINOX AND IT IS INDEED AN ISSUE MY STABILITRAK.

MY SON WAS DRIVING HIS 2007 CHEVY EQUINOX AROUND 50 MPH AND NOTICED A SMELL COMING FROM THE BRAKES. HE GOT HOME AND TOLD ME THEY WERE DRAGGING. I CHECKED THEM AFTER THEY COOLED DOWN. MY INITIAL THOUGHT WAS WORN PADS. I PULLED THE WHEELS AND CALIPERS AND PADS WERE GOOD. HOWEVER I COULD NOT COMPRESS THE DUAL PISTONS BACK INTO THE HOUSING ON EITHER SIDE UNTIL I LOOSENED THE BLEEDER SCREW. BEING CAREFUL TO NOT GET AIR IN THE SYSTEM, I WAS ABLE TO GET THE PISTONS BACK INTO THE HOUSING TO MAKE SURE THEY WERE NOT STUCK. I REASSEMBLED THE BRAKE SYSTEM AND TIRES. I TRIED TO PUT THE BRAKES TO FORCE THE FRONT PISTONS BACK OUT, BUT I HAD NO PRESSURE. I STARTED THE VEHICLE TO SEE IF THE BRAKES WERE WORKING, NO THEY AREN'T. NOW I HAVE NO BREAKES, FRONT OR REAR! FLUID WILL NOT FLOW BACK TO MASTER CYLINDER NOR WILL FLUID FLOW TO CALIPERS. MY QUESTION IS, MASTER CYLINDER OR ABS MODULE.

WITHIN THE LAST MONTH MY CAR HAS STARTED EMITTING A VERY STRONG GAS ODOR AND HAS BEEN HAVING STARTING TROUBLE EVERY TIME I TRY AND START THE CAR. IN THE PAST I HAVE HAD IT HESITATE TO START, BUT THAT OCCURRED LESS FREQUENTLY AND NEVER NOTICED THE SMELL. EVER SINCE I NOTICED THE ODOR, AGAIN ABOUT A MONTH AGO, IT IS HAPPENING EVERY TIME I TRY AND START THE CAR. THE ENGINE TURNS...BUT IT TAKES A MINUTE BEFORE IT CATCHES AND STARTS. SOMETIMES IT WILL NOT CATCH AND START AND I HAVE TO TURN THE KEY A 2ND TIME FOR IT TO ACTUALLY START.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 10 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS RECURRING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE VEHICLE'S POWER SETTINGS NEEDED TO BE RESET. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 112,000.

AIR BAG LIGHT STAYS ON

2997 CHEVY EQUINOX - THE CAR WAS IN MOTION AROUND 60MPH, WHILE DRIVING THE BRAKES ACTIVATE BY THEMSELVES AND THE ABS, STABILITY TRACK LIGHTS COME ON. THE VEHICLE STALLED IN THE INTERSTATE SEVERAL TIMES. THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE WHEN I ACCELERATE. IT SEEMS AT IF ALL THE BRAKES ARE ACTIVE AND NOT ALLOWING THE CAR TO MOVE. AFTER ALMOST GETTING CLIPPED BY A SEMI I HAD TO THINK FAST. I READ THE MANUAL AND FOUND THE ABS FUSES. IN ORDER TO MOVE THE CAR I HAVE TO REMOVE THE ABS MOTOR FUSE AND THE ABS SYSTEM FUSE. THIS BYPASSES THE SYSTEM AND THE CAR IS ABLE TO MOVE. I HAVE TAKEN TO A MECHANIC AND THEY REPLACED DEALER PARTS ABS MODULE AND ABS MODULATOR "MOTOR". I PAID $1800 FOR THE REPAIR. CAR HAS SAME ISSUE AS I DROVE A WAY FROM SHOP. WHEN IT STALLED AFTER REPAIR I REMOVED THE FUSES AGAIN AND DROVE IT BACK TO THE SHOP FOR REPAIR AGAIN. SHOP SAYS THESE PARTS REPLACED ARE DEALER PARTS AND THEY WILL REPLACE AGAIN WITH NEW PARTS. CALLED THE CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP ON THIS AND THEY MENTION THAT THERE IS NO ISSUE/RECALL WITH THIS AT THE TIME. THE CAR HAS $80K MILES AND HAS BEEN AT THE SHOP FOR TWO WEEKS STILL UNDER DIAGNOSTICS TO TRY TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE. FRUSTRATED!

IT FIRST STARTED 3 MONTHS AGO TOOK IT TO FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND THE RECOMMENDATION I RECEIVED FROM SERVICE AGENT WAS TO GET FUEL SYSTEM CLEANED AND CHANGE THE TRANSMISSION FLUIDS WHICH COST ME AROUND $298. THE SAME DAY IT DID THE SAME THING WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, SO I LET IT BE FOR A WHILE BUT IT CONTINUES WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND HAVE CONTACTED SERVICE AGENT BUT HAVE NO SOLUTION FOR ME. THE OTHER ISSUE IT HAS IS THE KEY ALWAYS GETS STUCK, AND NEED TO TURN THE CAR BACK ON THEN TURN THE WHEEL, BUT SOMETIMES IT TAKES MORE THAN THIS TO GET THE KEY OUT FROM THE IGNITION SWITCH.

DURING A LONG TRIP, THE PASSENGER AIRBAG SENSOR LIGHT CHANGED FROM "ON" TO "OFF" INTERMITTENTLY EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS A PASSENGER PRESENT ALL OF TIME. WHEN THE SENSOR LIGHT TURNED TO OFF, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT ALSO CAME ON EACH TIME. THIS HAPPENED ABOUT 8 TIMES DURING THE TRIP. IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE THEN AS WELL.

WARNING LIGHT TO SERVICE AIR BAG HAS COME ON AND NEVER TURNS OFF. I HAVE TAKEN CAR IN TO HAVE THIS CHECKED AND TECHNICIANS CANNOT FIND THE PROBLEM OR FIX IT. NOT SURE IF AIR BAGS WILL FUNCTION ON IMPACT.

I WAS DRIVING HOME AND ENGINE OVERHEATED, ALMOST DIDN'T GET OFF ROAD. TOOK TO A GARAGE AND $433. LATER WITH TOW BILL, THEY REPLACED THERMOSTAT AND FLUSHED IT. ONE WEEK LATER DID THE SAME THING PLUS KEPT POPPING UP OIL CHANGE NEEDED AND HAD ALREADY DID THAT FEW MONTHS BEFORE. FILLED WITH GAS AND IT POPPED UP LOW FUEL. HAD IT LOOKED AT AGAIN AND THEY SAID HEAD GASKET, WHICH QUOTED $2500. BUT SEVERAL HAVE TOLD ME THEY HAD WORKED ON SEVERAL WITH SAME PROBLEM, SAID EQUINOX ARE KNOWN FOR THIS! WHY IS THERE NOT A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM? I AM ON SS AND THIS IS HARD FOR ME TO HANDLE MONEY WISE. I'M JUST UPSET THAT THIS IS HAPPENING TO SEVERAL OTHERS AND THEY JUST ACCEPTED IT AND DIDN'T COMPLAIN!!!!

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING WHEN THE BRAKES BEGAN TO SEIZE AND THERE WAS A BURNING SMELL. SHE CONTINUED TO ATTEMPT TO DRIVE AND THE CAR WAS SLOW TO ACCELERATE WHICH CAUSED THE CAR TO OVERHEAT. THE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND ADVISED TO TURN OFF AC AND STOP CAR. SHE STATED THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS VERY HARD TO PRESS. SHE STOPPED THE CAR ALLOWED IT TO COOL DOWN THEN PROCEEDED TO CAUTIOUSLY DRIVE HOME. I IMMEDIATELY DROVE IT AND NOTICED A SLIGHT BURN SCENT BUT THE CAR SEEMED TO BE OK OTHER THAN THE POWER BRAKES WERE NO LONGER FUNCTIONAL. AFTER THE CAR SAT FOR 6-7 HOURS I DROVE IT FOR ABOUT 1/2 HOUR WITH THE POWER BRAKES NOW FUNCTIONING. I TOOK IT TO THE SHOP AND HAD ENTIRE SYSTEM (CALIPERS, ROTORS, PADS, LINES, ETC.) EXAMINED AND AT THAT TIME IT COULD NOT BE REPLICATED. MY WIFE DROVE IT THE FOLLOWING DAY AND AFTER 25 MINUTES OF INTERSTATE DRIVING THE POWER BRAKES WERE AGAIN NOT FUNCTIONING. SHE PARKED IT FOR 3 DAYS AT THE AIRPORT AND UPON HER RETURN THE POWER BRAKES WORKED FOR ABOUT 15 MINUTES BEFORE THEY NO LONGER WORKED.

DRIVING DOWN THE STREET AND I HEAR WARNING SIGNAL LOOK DOWN AT DASH IT SAYS STABILIZERTRACK

AFTER LIFTING THE LIFT GATE IT FELL AND HIT ME ON TOP OF MY HEAD AND KNOCKED ME TO THE GROUND, THE LIFT GATE NO LONGER PULLS UP EASILY.

TOOK MY 2007 EQUINOX TO DEALERSHIP WHERE I BUT IT IN MAY OF 2007 TO TELL THEM ABOUT PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG NOT WORKING CORRECTLY WHEN CERTAIN INDIVIDUALS LUKE MYSELF WERE SITTING IN PASSENGER SEAT AND I WAS TOLD NOTHING THEY COULD DO THAT I JUST NEEDED TO CARRY A GALLON OF WATER ON MY LAP BECAUSE I WAS TO SMALL. FYI I WEIGH 120. ALSO THE KEY KEEPS GETTING STUCK IN THE IGNITION I THINK THIS IS VERY UNSAFE ALONG WITH THE AIRBAG. WOULD LIKE A RESPONSE ASAP MY EQUINOX ONLY HAS 42000 MILES .

THE PASSENGER SEAT AIRBAG LIGHT GOES BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN ON AND NOT ON WHEN SOMEONE IS SITTING IN THE SEAT. SOMETIMES IT WORKS FINE FOR AN EXTENDED AMOUNT OF TIME. LEANING TO GET SOMETHING IN THE BACK SEAT CAN TRIGGER IT TO GO OFF AND STAY OFF.

OVER THE PAST FEW DAYS, MY STABILITRAK LIGHT HAD COME ON AND OFF WHILE DRIVING OR JUST SITTING IN THE CAR. PULLING INTO MY DRIVEWAY TODAY I NOTICED THAT THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON FOR THE STABILITRAK AND THEN IT BECAME INCREASING HARD TO MANEUVER MY STEERING WHEEL.

PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF THIS IS COVERED BY GM. THANK YOU

I HAVENT HAD THIS CAR 6 MONTHS WHEN THE STABITACK IS MESSSING UP NOT ON JUST MINE I'VE TALKED TO MANY WHO OWN THESES CARS SOME ARE 08 AND 09 AND 07 THATS A BIT MUCH WHY IS THERE SUCH A PROBLEM, MANY CANT COMPLAIN THEY DONT KNOW WHERE TO GO FOR HELP. I STUMBBLED ACROSS THIS SITE....THIS IS A BIG DEAL I'M PUTTING THIS SITE ON FACEBOOK SO PEOPLE CAN COMPLAIN. GM NEEDS TO DO SOMTHING THIS IS EXPENISIVE FOR FOLKS TO REPAIR WHEN THERE ON A FIXED INCOME.IVE AWAYS DROVE A FORD . THIS IS MAKING ME RECONSIDER MY DECISION.. AND I CANT KEEP A STARTER ON THIS CAR IVE HAD 3 PUT ON IN THE LAST 2 WEEKS... WHATS THE DEAL? THIS CAR AND OTHERS ARE A AREAL PAIN I CAN PROVIDE YOU WITH MANY ON A LIST THAT HAS THIS CAR AND THE PROBLEMS AND WHAT DROP DOWN BOX??

THE RIGHT FRONT PASSENGER SEAT IS BUILT WITH A PASSENGER SENSING SYSTEM. WHENEVER THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT IS OCCUPIED, AND SOMETIMES WHEN IT IS NOT OCCUPIED, AN ERROR IN THE SEAT SENSOR CALIBRATION CAUSES THE 'CHECK AIR BAG' LIGHT TO COME ON.

I PURCHASED A 2007 CHEVY EQUINOX AT A CHEVY DEALERSHIP IN 2014. A COUPLE OF WEEKS AFTER PURCHASE I STARTED HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE KEY IN THE IGNITION. IT WOULD SOMETIMES GET SO I COULD NOT PULL IT OUT OF THE IGNITION AFTER PUTTING THE VEHICLE IN PARK. I HAVE WAITED FOR A YEAR, BECAUSE I BELIEVED THE PROBLEM WOULD GET BETTER. THE PROBLEM HAS CONTINUED, AND IS SLOWLY GETTING WORSE. I HAVE EVEN TRIED DIFFERENT SETS OF KEYS TO SEE IF THAT MADE A DIFFERENCE, IT HAS NOT. IT DOES NOT MATTER IF THE VEHICLE IS PARKED ON A FLAT SERVICE OR ON AN INCLINE, THE KEY KEEPS GETTING STUCK IN THE IGNITION. I HAVE EVEN TAKEN ALL OTHER KEYS OFF THE KEY RING THINKING THAT WOULD MAKE A DIFFERENCE, IT DID NOT. THE ONLY WAY THAT I CAN GET THE KEY OUT IS BY SHAKING THE SHIFTER ON THE FLOOR AND WOBBLE THE STEERING WHEEL BACK AND FORTH. THAT DOES NOT ALWAYS WORK, SO SOMETIMES I HAVE TO TURN THE VEHICLE BACK ON AND OFF AGAIN TO GET IT TO COME OUT. I AM AFRAID THAT ONE OF THESE TIMES I AM NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO GET THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION WHICH WILL MAKE IT EASIER FOR SOMEONE TO BREAK INTO IT AND STEAL IT FROM ME. I HAVE GONE BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP THAT I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND TOLD ME THAT I WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE IGNITION CYLINDER AT MY OWN EXPENSE SINCE THERE IS NO OFFICIAL RECALL ON THE PART. *TR

I'M NOT SURE IF I HAD WRITTEN YOU ALREADY , ITS COMPLICATED, BUT HERE GOES. I BOUGHT A 2007 CHEVY EQUINOX IN AUGUST 9, 2014 . AUGUST 29, 2007 IS WHEN THE FIRST OF MANY PROBLEMS STARTED. THE STABILITY A LIGHT CAME ON,AT THE EXACT TIME THE LIGHTS CAME ON THE CAR WOULD SLOW WAY, WAY DOWN IT DIDN'T EVEN REGISTER ON HOW MANY MILES I WAS GOING THAT'S HOW SLOW THE CAR MOVED, THEN IT CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. I WAITED A FEW SECONDS AND TRIED TO START THE CAR AND IT DID START. THIS KEPT HAPPENING ABOUT 4 OR 5 TIMES, THEN ON DECEMBER 12, 20014 IT DID IT AGAIN, BUT THIS TIME IT WOULD NOT START UP AGAIN. I HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED, I HAD ALL OF MY 10 YEAR OLD CHRISTMAS GIFTS STILL IN THE CAR. THE GARAGE HAD MY CAR FROM DEC. 12 THRU TO MARCH 20, 2015, THEN IT WAS TOWED TO ANOTHER GARAGE, THE FIRST GARAGE COULD NOT LOCATE THE PROBLEM. OK, THE SECOND GARAGE HAD IT, THEY CHARGED ME $160.00 I GOT THE CAR BACK ON APRIL 10, 2015 I DROVE IT FOR FOUR DAYS AND IT DID IT AGAIN, NOW THIS CAR HAS DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF INTERSECTIONS BEFORE AND IT DID IT AGAIN ON APRIL 13 2015. I WAS STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF A VERY BUSY INTERSECTION, THERE WAS THIS HUGE DUMP TRUCK HEADED RIGHT FOR ME, I WAS SCARED TO DEATH, I ALMOST ALWAYS HAVE MY GRANDCHILDREN WITH ME THANK GOD THEY WEREN'T THIS TIME. WHEN MY CAR WAS MOVING VERY SLOWLY THE STABILITRAC LIGHT DID NOT COME ON, AFTER A COUPLE OF MINUTES AFTER THE FACT THEY DID COME ON. TWO MEN PUSHED ME OUT FROM THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION. THERE WAS SMOKE COMING FROM TH

EVERYTHING SINGLE TIME THAT (XXX) LIGHT COMES ON AND SAYS STABILIZERTRAC,MY CAR SLOWS WAY DOWN THEN COMES TO A DEAD STOP.YOU CANNOT CONTROL THE CAR, YOU CANNOT GIVE IT GAS, YOU CANNOT PUT ON THE BRAKES, YOU CANNOT STEER IT. YOU CANNOT DO ANYTHING TO IT. IT STOPS ON ITS OWN, IVE BEEN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION, I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED, IF A SEMI OR A DUMP TRUCK WERE COMING. THAT'S PRETTY SCARY. I WANT TO KNOW HOW TO FIX THIS? WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE? IVE ASKED SOME MECHANICS AND THEY HAD NO CLUE WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT. I NEED SOME HELP ON THIS? ANYBODY? I'M VERY FRUSTRATED, I BOUGHT THAT (XXX) CAR IN OCTOBER OF 2014, ON DECEMBER 12,2014 IT BROKE DOWN, I JUST GOT MY CAR BACK ON APRIL 9, 2015, YES YOU READ THAT RIGHT. THIS (XXX) HAD MY CAR ALL THESE MONTHS, HE NEVER RETURNED ANY PHONE CALLS NOR WAS HE EVER AT THE GARAGE, THEN I FINALLY GOT IT OUT OF THERE TO ANO5HER PLACE,N THEY HAD IT A COUPLE OF WEEKS, I GET I5 BACK AND I DROVE IT FOR FOUR DAYS AND IT BREAKS DOWN AGAIN. *TRPARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

THERE IS A COMMON PROBLEM WRONG WITH THE CHEVY EQUINOX, I HAVE A BLOWN HEAD GASKET BECAUSE OF WATER IN MY DASHBOARD. I WAS TOLD TO FILE A COMPLAINT, BECAUSE SO MANY INDIVIDUALS WHO BY THESE PARTICULAR VEHICLES ALL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM ESPECIALLY IF YOU PURCHASED A EQUINOX BETWEEN 2006 AND 2009. THIS IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT AND THE VEHICLES SHOULD BE RECALLED. *TR

ON OCTOBER 19, 2009, I PURCHASED A CHEVROLET EQUINOX 2007. AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE I NOTICED CONDENSATION IN THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT HEADLIGHT LENS AND I WAS TOLD BY THE SALESMAN AT THE TIME THAT IT WOULD "BURN OFF" IF I KEPT THE LIGHTS ON. SINCE THAT TIME BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER HEADLIGHTS HAVE DEVELOPED THE CONDENSATION ISSUE. THE CONDENSATION DOES NOT BURN OFF JUST KEEPS ACCUMULATING TO THE POINT WHERE THE HEADLIGHT BULB WOULD JUST BURN OUT. IN THE PAST SIX YEARS I HAVE REPLACED THE VARIOUS BULBS IN THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY NINE TIMES AND THE BULB SOCKET ASSEMBLIES HAVE BEEN CORRODED AS A RESULT OF THE CONSTANT PRESENCE OF MOISTURE. OFTEN TIMES I WOULD BE DRIVING AT NIGHT WHEN THE BULBS WOULD GO OUT MAKING THIS A SEVERE SAFETY ISSUE. *TR
