THE IGNITION KEY WOULD GET STUCK IN THE IGNITION. THE ONLY WAY I COULD GET IT OUT WOULD BE TO REPEATADLY SHIFT FROM PARK TO DRIVE OR REVERSE UNTIL THE KEY WAS RELEASED. I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL CHEVY DEALER FOR REPAIR. IT COST $544 TO GET IT FIXED. I HAVE HEARD OF OTHERS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. *TR

I PURCHASED A USED EQUINOX AND IT NOW HAS THE SERVICE AIR BAG INDICATION ON THE DASH & EVEN WHEN OCCUPIED BY A LARGE ADULT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG WILL NOT TURN ON. IT STATES OFF CONTINUOUSLY. I DID CALL CHEVROLET AS SOME HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THE IDENTICAL PROBLEM, HOWEVER, WAS TOLD THAT MY VIN NUMBER DID NOT MATCH THE RECALL ONLY 437 CARS MATCHED THAT RECALL AND THAT I WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIRS MYSELF. *TR

I CONTACTED GM ABOUT THE ISSUES,THEY MADE AN APPOINTMENT AT A DEALER,WHEN I TOOK IT THEIR THE DEALER REFUSED MAKING UP EVERY EXCUSE HE COULD,CALLED GM SEVERAL TIMES BUT THEY SAY THESE ITEMS WOULD BE FIXED ,IT IS ALL SCREWED UP,GM DOES NOT GIVE A [XXX] ABOUT THESE HAZARDS,PROBLEMS STILL EXIST,REFERENCE NUMBER IS [XXX],THEIR HAVE BEEN RECALLS EXCEPT FOR OHIO,GIVE ME A BREAK,THAT IS THE STUPIDEST THING SINCE THE VEHICLE HAS SO MANY RECALLS...........................TAIL GATE DOOR DOES NOT OPEN,MOTOR IS NOT WORKING,POTENTIAL HAZARD. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

CRUISE CONTROL ACCELERATION BUTTON "STUCK" DOWN IN ACCELERATION "MODE" AND CAR CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE. I HAD TO PRESS THE BRAKE TO DISENGAGE THE CRUISE CONTROL. THIS BUTTON "STICKS" OR GETS "STUCK" IN ACCELERATION "MODE" ON CRUISE CONTROL AND THE ONLY WAY I HAVE FOUND TO DISENGAGE IT IS TO TAP THE BRAKES AND DISENGAGE THE CRUISE CONTROL. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 CHEVROLET EQUINOX AND STARTED NOTICING A FUEL SMELL COMING FROM THE REAR OF IT AS IT GETS WORSE AFTER DRIVING. I HAD A COBALT THAT HAD THE RECALL ON THE FUEL PUMP FOR THE SAME ISSUE SO I LOOKED INTO IT AND CALLED A FEW LOCAL DEALERS AND FOUND OUT THERE IS A RECALL ON THE EQUINOXES FOR IT AS WE'LL BUT IT IS ONLY IN CERTAIN AREAS AND MINE DOES NOT FALL INTO THE CATEGORY. I HAVE ALSO RESEARCHED AND FOUND OUT A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE BUT THE RECALL IS NOT BEING EXTENDED AND IT SHOULD BE SO NOW TO MAKE SURE IT DOESN'T CATCH ON FIRE I AM HAVING TO FIX THE PROBLEM MYSELF AND IT IS NOT CHEAP TO DO. *TR

KEY STICKS IN IGNITION WHEN ENTERED INTO PARK, AND WILL NOT COME OUT MOST OF THE TIME. THE ONLY WAY TO RELEASE THE KEY IS TO STICK FINGER INTO A HOLE IN THE STEERING COLUMN AND SLIDE THE MANUAL RELEASE SWITCH WITHIN THE STEERING WHEEL COLUMN. THERE ARE NO OBSTRUCTIONS WHICH PREVENT THE GEAR SHIFT LEVER FROM ENTERING THE FULL PARK POSITION. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY 2007 EQUINOX YESTERDAY WHEN I HAD TO HIT THE BREAKS A SURGE OF WATER CAME FROM UNDER MY BACKSEAT SOAKING ALL THE CARPET. AFTER THAT I LOOKED IN THE TRUNK. THE TRUNK WAS DRY SO I LIFTED IT UP TO CHECK BY THE SPARE TIRE AND FOUND A TON OF WATER. MY CAR HAS HAD A FUNKY SMELL FOR AWHILE NOW. I AM NOT SURE HOW LONG THE WATER HAS BEEN COLLECTING. BUT THIS IS A MAJOR HEALTH ISSUE. I HAVE TWO SMALL CHILDREN AND I HAVE NO IDEA HOW LONG WE HAVE BEEN BREATHING IN THIS MOLD AND MILDEW. GM PLEASE HELP WITH THIS ISSUE. I HAVE READ MANY OTHER CASES HERE ON THE INTERNET. THIS IS A MANUFACTURES DEFECT! *TR

ON 7-7-14, WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM THE DOCTORS' OFFICE, THE VEHICLE SLOWED DOWN. IT WAS LIKE I WAS DRIVING ON A WASHBOARD AND WAS VERY HARD TO STEER. WHEN I PULLED OFF THE ROAD AND WAS BACKING UP TO PARK, IT WAS AS THOUGH I HAD NO POWER STEERING. I TURNED THE IGNITION SWITCH OFF FOR A FEW SECONDS, AND WHEN I RESTARTED THE VEHICLE, I PRESSED ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AND ATTEMPTED TO MOVE THE SHIFT LEVER, IT WOULD NOT MOVE UNTIL I PRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL AS HARD AS I COULD. THEN THE VEHICLE RESPONDED NORMALLY. THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. IN JUNE 2014, WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP IN AN EFFORT TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THEY READJUSTED THE BRAKE PEDAL SWITCH. I HAD NO PROBLEM UNTIL 7-7-14 . WE TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY QUOTED US A COST OF OVER $600.00 TO REPLACE THE TRACTION CONTROL MODULE BECAUSE THEY TOLD US THAT IT WAS UNRELATED TO THE FIRST INCIDENT. HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE WAS DOING THE SAME EXACT THING AS THE FIRST TIME WE TOOK IT IN. AFTER READING OTHER COMPLAINTS IDENTICAL TO MINE, I'M NOT VERY COMFORTABLE WITH WHAT I'M BEING TOLD REGARDING THIS PROBLEM. I'M THE PRIMARY DRIVER OF THIS VEHICLE, SINCE MY HUSBAND SUFFERED A STROKE ON 2-18-2013. TOO BAD YOU BUY A VEHICLE AND DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT. I HOPE NO ONE IS INJURED OR KILLED BEFORE SOMETHING IS DONE TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. *TR

I NOTICED A STRONG SMELL OF FUEL COMING FROM MY VEHICLE, I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED IT AS A PROBLEM WITH MY FUEL PUMP. I LOOKED ONLINE BECAUSE I HAD HEARD OF A RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH CARS CATCHING ON FIRE DUE TO A FUEL PUMP DEFECT AND I BELIEVE MY VEHICLE IS AFFECTED BY THIS SAME DEFECT. I'M IN URGENT NEED OF THIS BEING REPAIRED BUT I'M BEING TOLD THAT THE PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL PUMP WILL NOT BE COVERED GIVEN THE RECALL IS REGIONAL TO SPECIFIC STATES. I AM DISPUTING THIS AS I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY MY VEHICLE CAN'T BE COVERED IF IT IS EXPERIENCING THE SAME DEFECT THAT WAS IDENTIFIED IN THOSE STATES. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG INDICATOR WOULD ILLUMINATE WHEN THE SEAT WAS OCCUPIED. THE DEALER STATED THAT A SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000.

WHEN I PUT MY VEHICLE IN PARK AND TRY TO TURN OFF MY CAR, THE KEY GETS STUCK IN THE IGNITION MORE OFTEN THAN NOT. I THEN HAVE TO TURN IT ON, BACK UP, PULL FORWARD, AND TURN IT OFF AGAIN TO SEE IF IT WILL LET ME TAKE THE KEY OUT. SOMETIMES I HAVE TO DO THIS 5-6 TIMES! *TR

THE SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING ,THE PASSENGER AIR BAGS ON AND OFF LIGHT WAS GOING ON THEN OFF NOW NOT WORKING AT ALL THE POWER SEARING WENT OUT AND THEN BACK WORKING AFTER THE DEALER TRIED TO CHARGE MY WIFE 800 PLUS FOR PARTS NOT NEEDED ALL THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON SENSE SHE FIRST BOUT IT OFF THE DEALER LOT BUT THEY REFUSED TO RESOLVE THE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS THEY REPLACED THE SPEED ODOMETER AND EVEN NOTED IT IN THERE PAPER WORK THAT THERE WAS BODY ELECTRICAL ` PROBLEMS WITH THIS EQUINOX AND YET STILL REFUSE TO ETHER FIX IT OR REPLACE THE CAR WITH A EQUAL VALUE ALL THESE PROBLEMS WAS GOING ON BEFORE THE WARRANTY EVER RAN OUT AND WE HAVE NOW BEEN FIGHTING WITH THE DEALERS AND GM OVER THIS NOW FOR OVER 7 YEARS IT EVEN HAD THE KEY SWITCH THAT WONT WORK SOME TIMES AND SOMETIMES IT WILL LOCK UP AND CUT OFF WHEN GOING DOWN THE ROAD ITS DONE THIS TWICE NOW IN THE PAST YEAR I DON'T FEEL LIKE I NOR MY WIFE [XXX] SHOULD PAY TO FIX PROBLEMS ON THIS CAR DUE TO THE FACT THAT IT HAS ALL BEEN HAPPENING SINCE WE BOUT THE CAR NEW WITH LESS THAN A 100 MILES ON THIS CAR THE DEALERS KEEP SAYING THEY CANT MAKE ANY CODES COME UP BUT YET WHEN WE GO IN TO THEM WE SHOW THEM WHAT'S GOING ON WITH IT SCENE IT WAS NEW IM SICK OF THEM LIEING TO US AND NOT FIXING THERE PROBLEMS THEY KNOW THAT ARE WRONG WITH THIS TRUCK IF THEY NEW IT HAD ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WITH THE TRUCK WHEN THEY DID THE WORK ON THE TRUCK WHEN IT WAS NEW WHY DIDN'T THEY FIX IT INSTEAD OF LIEING AND COVERING UP IT AND LIEING TO MY WIFE IV HA

WHILE DRIVING HOME MY CAR SUDDENLY BECAME VERY VERY HARD TO STEER I COULD NOT MAKE RIGHT OR LEFT TURNS WITHOUT EXTREME DIFFICULTY TURNING THE WHEEL. IN FACT IT FELT LIKE THE POWER STEERING HAD COMPLETELY WENT OUT IN THE 2007 EQUINOX. WHEN I WENT TO THE CHEVROLET GARAGE THEY WERE NO HELP BUT TO TELL ME THEY WOULD NOT DO A THING UNTIL I PAID $89 THEY WOULD NOT EVEN SAY IF THIS WAS AN ISSUE EXPERIENCED BY ANYONE ELSE IN THE PAST OR ABOUT HOW MUCH IT COULD EVEN COST IF THEY FOUND SOMETHING. WHEN I LEFT THE CAR STARTED TO ACT CORRECTLY BUT THE STABILITRAK SERVICE LIGHT CAME OFF AND ON AGAIN WE ASKED ABOUT THIS AT THE GARAGE THEY WOULD NOT COMMENT ON THAT UNTIL WE PAID $89.00. AS I DID NOT FEEL SAFE AT ALL DRIVING THE CAR I REMEMBERED ANOTHER PLACE HERE IN TOWN THAT HANDLED CARS AND THE REBUILDING OF MOST ANY MAIN FEATURED ITEMS FROM MOTORS TO TRANSMISSIONS AND WENT THERE THE AUTO MECHANIC TOOK THE CAR FOR A DRIVE OF COURSE THE STABILITRAK SERVICE LIGHT DID NOT COME ON BUT THE STEERING ONCE AGAIN ACTED UP. HE IMMEDIATE INFORMED ME THAT IT WAS THE POWER STEERING MOTOR AND WE ORDERED IT AND HAD IT INSTALLED LAST WEEK JUNE 20TH. THE GARAGE HAD A LOT OF TROUBLE GETTING THE PART BECAUSE THEY HAD TO DEAL WITH A DEALER HERE IN TOWN AND THEY GAVE THEM A VERY HARD TIME. DURING THIS WAIT TO GET THE PART AND HAVE IT INSTALLED THE STEERING ONLY ACTED UP DURING THE COLD MONTHS BUT ONCE THE WEATHER WARMED UP I DID NOT HAVE A PROBLEM AND THE LIGHT ISSUE STOPPED. WITH THE NEW MOTOR THE CAR DROVE W

THE KEY WILL NOT RELEASE FROM THE IGNITION WHEN THE CAR IS IN PARK AND TURNED OFF. THIS HAPPENS ABOUT ONE OUT OF EVERY FIVE TIMES THE CAR PARKS. I NORMALLY HAVE TO WAIT ABOUT 1 MINUTE FOR THE KEY TO RELEASE. SOMETIMES, IT WILL STILL NOT RELEASE AND I HAVE TO TURN THE CAR BACK ON, PUT IT IN REVERSE AND GO A COUPLE FEET, THEN DRIVE FORWARD A COUPLE FEET, PUT IT IN PARK FOR THE KEY TO RELEASE. I MAY HAVE TO DO THIS 3-4 TIMES BEFORE, THE KEY WILL FINALLY RELEASE. *TR

I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE HEADLIGHTS IN THIS CAR AT LEAST 7 TIMES TO DATE. SINCE THE CAR WAS ABOUT A YEAR OLD, THERE HAS ALWAYS BEEN A HEAVY BUILD-UP OF CONDENSATION INSIDE THE HEADLAMP ASSEMBLY....WHICH IS VERY POORLY DESIGNED. THE ENTIRE ASSEMBLY FROM THE LEFT SIDE OF THE CAR TO THE RIGHT HAS TO BE TAKEN OFF TO ACCESS THE HEADLAMPS. OBVIOUSLY, THE ASSEMBLY DESIGN DOES NOT SEAL SUFFICIENTLY TO KEEP OUT MOISTURE. *TR

SOMETIMES WHEN YOU PARK THE KEYS WILL NOT COME OUT OF THE IGNITION. YOU HAVE TO KEEP STARTING THE VEHICLE, TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL BACK AND FORTH, OR SLAMMING THE SHIFTER INTO PARK IT HAPPENS ABOUT 12 TIMES PER WEEK! ALSO THE TRAC CONTROL LIGHT WILL POP ON AND THEN HEAL ON ITS OWN, STAY OFF AS LONG AS A 16 MONTHS THEN GO BACK ON FOR A WEEK OR TWO THEN BACK OFF! WEIRD. *TR

I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE SINCE 2009 AND HAVE HAD MULTIPLE ISSUES, RECURRING FREQUENTLY. THE 2 MAIN CONCERNS ARE STUCK KEY IN IGNITION AND STABILITRACK AND ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTIONS. THERE IS A DEFINITE ISSUE WITH THE IGNITION IN THESE VEHICLES, NOT ONLY DOES MY KEY GET STUCK, IT HAS ALSO BEEN KNOCKED OUT WHEN HITTING A BUMP. I OWN A COBALT TOO THAT HAS BEEN RECALLED AND MY EQUINOX HAS THE SAME ISSUES WITH IGNITION THIS IS DANGEROUS AND FRUSTRATING!! IN ADDITION, MY STABILITRACK HAS BEEN SERVICED TWICE SINCE I HAVE OWNED. THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM GOES CRAZY AND LIGHTS UP WITH AIRBAG SERVICE, STABILITRACK SERVICE AND ABS BRAKE WARNINGS. I JUST SPENT 600 ON BRAKES AND ROTORS AND IT STILL LIGHTS UP. THE CAR HAS BEEN CHECKED AND NONE OF THESE WARNINGS ARE ACCURATE. THESE LIGHTS COME ON AND OFF RANDOMLY AND HAVE FOR YEARS. THE FUEL GAUGE WILL ROTATE BACKWARDS. THE OIL INDICATOR THAT TRACKS OIL LIFE RESETS ITSELF AT RANDOM. I AM ANGRY! THESE ISSUES NEED ADDRESSED. ARE WE NOT TAKEN SERIOUSLY BECAUSE NO ONE DIED? THERE ARE MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME NATURE AS MINE AND YET NO RECALL? SAD THAT ACTION IS TAKEN ONLY AFTER SOMEONE IS KILLED! GM NEEDS TO DO RIGHT BY PEOPLE WHO SPEND THEIR HARD EARNED MONEY TO PURCHASE THESE VEHICLES. I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN PRO CHEVY BUT NOT ANYMORE. THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE AND QUALITY SUCKS. *JS

TL *THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WATER COLLECTED INSIDE THE SPARE TIRE WHEEL WELL. AS A RESULT, THE AROMA OF MILDEW WAS PRESENT IN THE VEHICLE'S INTERIOR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 68,000.

ON TWO OCCASIONS THE POWER STEERING HAS GONE OUT WHILE I STARTED MY CAR. EACH TIME THIS OCCURRED I WAS UNABLE TO STEER THE VEHICLE. IT WAS VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AS IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO MAKE RIGHT AND LEFT HAND TURNS.

I PURCHASED THIS UNIT IN 2010. THIS IS RELATED TO THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. THE SIGNAL OF THE AIRBAG APPEARS OFF EVEN IF THERE IS A PASSENGER SEATED. THIS STARTED TO HAPPEN IN 2013. I TOOK IT FOR A DIAGNOSTIC AT A DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WAS A FAULTY SENSOR. VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS SITUATION BUT WHEN I GAVE MY VIN # IT APPEARS MY VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDED (NHTSA CAMPAIGN #07V344000). *TR

WHEN I TURN THE VEHICLE OFF, THE IGNITION KEY STAYS STUCK. EVEN IF I TURN IT BACK AND FORTH IT DOES NOT COME OUT, I HAVE TO WAIT ABOUT TWO MINUTES BEFORE I CAN TAKE IT OUT. SOMETIMES, IF I MOVE THE KEY EXTREMELY FAST, I AM ABLE TO TAKE IT OUT ON THE FIRST TRY. I HAVE SEEN THIS COMPLAINT ON THIS VEHICLE BEFORE BUT THERE IS STILL NO RECALL. *TR

POWER STEERING MODULE WENT OUT AND I NEED THAT MODULE, I BOUGHT IT USED AND I DID NOT KNOW ANYTHING OF A RECALL I WAS NOT TOLD ANYTHING ABOUT IT. *TR

WHEN TURNING OFF THE VEHICLE THE KEY WILL NOT RELEASE FROM THE IGNITION AND CAN NOT BE REMOVED. AFTER ABOUT 30 SECONDS YOU CAN HEAR A CLICK AND THEN THE KEY WILL RELEASE AND CAN BE REMOVED, BUT UNTIL YOU HEAR THE CLICK IT CAN NOT BE REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION. *TR

POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING. IT WAS WORKING FINE, I PARKED WENT IN TO SCHOOL TO GET DAUGHTER CAME OUT AND IT WASN'T WORKING. SERVICE STABILITRAK LIGHT ON. *TR

I HAVE NOTICED A STRONG GAS SMELL AFTER DRIVING MY CAR. I AM NOW SCARED TO DRIVE IT & DON'T HAVE THE MONEY FOR AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR. *TR

VEHICLE SMELLED OF GASOLINE ODORS UNDERNEATH BECOMING WORSE DAILY UNTIL LEAKAGE WAS OBVIOUS BY GASOLINE PUDDLES ON GROUND DIRECTLY UNDER VEHICLE. AFTER NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS TO FIND A RECALL OR A SOLUTION TO MY PROBLEM I FINALLY RECEIVED INFORMATION FROM LOCAL GM DEALERS THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS CONCERNING MY COMPLAINT EVEN THOUGH SEVERAL COMPLAINTS SIMILAR TO MINE HAD BEEN MADE. SO, I WAS LEFT WITH NO OTHER ALTERNATIVE BUT TO ATTEMPT TO FIX THE PROBLEM MYSELF. AFTER THE HOSES, CLAMPS, RESTRAINTS, AND TANK WAS REMOVED IT WAS APPARENT THAT I COULD NOT FIX IT SO I HAD A MECHANIC TO COME OUT, PROCEED WITH REMOVING AND REPLACING THE LEAKING LINES AND HOSES AND REASSEMBLING THE TANK BACK ONTO THE VEHICLE'S UNDERCARRIAGE. OF COURSE THIS WOULD END UP COSTING ME 9 ARMS AND 3 LEGS BUT AT THAT TIME THE CHEVROLET DEALER IN TUPELO MS. INFORMED ME THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL IN EFFECT FOR MY PROBLEM BUT THAT HIS STAFF WOULD BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO CHECK OUT MY PROBLEM AND FIX AND REPLACE ANY BROKEN AND OR DEFECTED PARTS BUT THEY WOULD ONLY DO SO IF AND WHEN I DELIVERED MY VEHICLE TO THEIR SHOP, ALSO AT MY EXPENSE. A FEW MONTHS AFTER ALL THIS HAPPENED AND A FEW MONTHS AGO, GM SENT OUT A BROCHURE STATING THAT THERE WAS INDEED A RECALL REGARDING MY SPECIFIC PROBLEM AND THAT I SHOULD TAKE IMMEDIATE ACTION TO GET MY VEHICLE TO THE GM DEALER (CLOSEST ONE FROM PONTOTOC BEING TUPELO - DEALERSHIP NAME WITHHELD) WHERE IT WOULD BE PROFESSIONALLY REPAIRED FREE OF ANY CHARGES TO ME. IF THERE INDEED IS OR EVE

VERY STRONG SMELL OF GAS IN MY GARAGE. MOVED MY VEHICLE OUTSIDE AND LET THE GARAGE AIR. PULLED MY CAR BACK INTO THE GARAGE AFTER A PERIOD OF TIME CLOSED THE GARAGE DOOR AND THE SMELL OF GAS WAS APPARENTLY COMING FROM THE RIGHT SIDE WHERE THE GAS CAP IS LOCATED. TOOK CAR TO CHEVROLET DEALER WAS TOLD MY GAS TANK WAS CRACKED COST WOULD BE $1500.00 GOT A SECOND OPINION WAS TOLD THE RETURN LINE OF THE FUEL PUMP WAS LEAKING AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. COST WAS $1068.00. *TR

I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS OFF AND ON WITH THE IGNITION, THE KEY GETS STUCK IN THE IGNITION AND I HAVE TO USUALLY WAIT A FEW MINUTES AND MOVE THE GEARS WHILE IN PARK TO GET THE IGNITION TO LET GO OF THE KEY. MY WORRY IS THE FACT THAT GM HAS RECALLS CURRENTLY ON IGNITION PROBLEMS WHICH HAVE CAUSED THE VEHICLES TO STOP WHILE DRIVING. MY VEHICLE ALTHOUGH GM; IS NOT CURRENTLY ON THE RECALL LIST BUT IT SEEMS THAT THIS PROBLEM I AM HAVING CAN BE IN RELATION TO THIS SORT OF THING. *TR

CAR WOULD NOT START EVEN THOUGH THE BATTERY WAS FULL. WARNING LIGHT SAID "STABILTRAK" NOT WORKING. HAVE TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED IN TO REPAIR/REPLACE ALL ELECTRICS IN THE STEERING COLUMN. *TR

THE ENGINE LIGHT ON AND STABILITITY TRAK NEEDS SERVICE? *TR

AFTER VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF. THE KEY CANNOT BE REMOVED OUT OF THE IGNITION. I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS ISSUE FOR YEARS! IN ORDER TO PULL THE KEY OUT. YOU MUST EITHER TURN THE VEHICLE ON THEN TURN IT BACK OFF SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE FINALLY THE IGNITION ALLOWS YOU TO REMOVE THE KEY. THE OTHER WAY IT ALLOWS YOU TO PULL OUT THE KEY IS BY TURNING THE KEY WITHOUT TURNING THE VEHICLE ON THEN MOVING THE GEARS FROM PARK TO REVERSE THEN BACK TO PARK. IT JUST CONTINUES TO GET WORSE AND WORSE. IT IS A HUGE CONCERN TO ME BECAUSE I AM AFRAID THAT I WOULD BE UNABLE TO PULL OUT THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE. *TR

THE IGNITION WILL NOT RELEASE THE KEY. I HAVE TRIED THE SHIFTER, SIT AND WAIT IN MY CAR TO SEE IF IT WILL RELEASE WITH TIME, STEP ON THE BRAKE FOR A LONG TIME THEN TRY TO TAKE THE KEY OFF AND HOPE IT WILL RELEASE THE KEY. *TR I CAN'T KEEP SITTING IN MY CAR WAITING FOR A MIRACLE TO HAPPEN WHEN I NEED TO LOG IN TO WORK AND AM STUCK IN THE CAR BECAUSE THE KEY WON'T COME OUT OF THE IGNITION. THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED. WITH AZ WEATHER BEING SO HOT SITTING IN THE CAR WAITING FOR THE RELEASE OF THE KEY IS MAKING IT HOT TO BREATHE. DON'T WANT TO ROLL DOWN THE WINDOWS BECAUSE I NEED THE KEY IN TO GET THE WINDOWS BACK UP. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. THIS HAS GONE ON FOR SEVERAL MONTHS I NEED SOMETHING DONE ABOUT THIS. THIS IS DANGEROUS. *TR

IGNITION LOCK UP, COULD NOT TURN OFF IGNITION. MOTOR STILL RUNNING, HAD TO TURN WHEEL BACK AND FORTH TO FIND A SPOT TO TURN OFF IGNITION CONTINUING PROBLEM. WE HAVE ALREADY BROUGHT TO DEALER SHIP TO HAVE PROBLEM CORRECTED. THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO FIND PROBLEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE FRONT DEFROSTER AND HEATER FAILED TO OPERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHO UNCLOGGED THE RADIATOR BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 95,000.

SEVERAL TIMES ,I WAS NOT ABLE TO REMOVE THE KEYS FROM IGNITION SWITCH,,THE VEHICLE COULD NOT BE SHUT ALL THE WAY OFF.

I HAVE A DIFFERENT TYPE OF IGNITION SWITCH PROBLEM. I CAN'T REMOVE THE KEY WHEN THE CAR IS IN PARK. THIS STARTED MAYBE 1 YEAR AGO. I SWITCHED OUT KEYS (USING MY SECOND KEY) AND IT WORKED FINE UNTIL THE LAST 2 MONTHS WHEN THE PROBLEM STARTED AGAIN. IT DOESN'T HAPPEN ALL THE TIME. WHEN IT DOES, I HAVE TO TURN ON THE IGNITION, PUT IT IN GEAR AND DRIVE FORWARD A FEW FEET AND THEN PUT IT IN REVERSE AND GO BACK TO WHERE I NEED TO PARK AND TURN OFF THE KEY. MAYBE IT WILL WORK, BUT THERE HAVE BEEN TIMES WHEN I'VE HAD TO DO THIS EXERCISE 10 TIMES BEFORE I CAN REMOVE THE KEY. JUST THIS MORNING, I HAD TO DO IT 5 TIMES AT A GAS STATION AND THE PEOPLE NEXT TO ME PROBABLY THOUGHT I WAS CRAZY!!! *JS

MY CHEVROLET EQUINOX POWER STEERING LOCKED UP WHILE BACKING OUT OF THE DRIVE WAY. GM IS RECALLING CERTAIN VEHICLES WITH THE POWER STEERING LOCKING UP. IT BOTHERS ME THAT CERTAIN VEHICLES ARE BEING RECALLED WHEN OTHERS ARE NOT WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE GONE ONLINE TO FIND OTHER PEOPLE THAT HAVE ENCOUNTERED THE SAME ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE. IT IS VERY INCONVENIENT TO HAVE TO COME OUT OF POCKET TO PAY FOR A REPLACEMENT GM SHOULD HAVE TAKEN CARE OF. *TR

ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF AGO, MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT ON MY EQUINOX. I HAVEN'T HAD ANY ACCIDENT DUE TO THIS BUT I FIND IT WEIRD THAT THE RECALL OF THE GM AUTOMOBILES HAVE THE SAME DEFECTS AND PROBLEMS AS MINES. IVE ALSO HAD PROBLEMS WITH MY ENGINE AS WELL WHEN THE STIBILITRAC LIKE CAME ON. I TOOK IT TO CHEVY BUT THE DIDN'T HAVE THE PART AND THEY SAID THE WOULD ORDER IT. I NEVER HEARD ANYTHING ELSE FROM THEM. PLEASE ADVISE ME ON WHAT TO DO BECAUSE IF ITS A DEFECT. I NEED TO GO GET IT FIX. IM STILL HAVING THE PROBLEM. *TR

THE IGNITION LOCKED UP. IT CONTINUES TO JAM UP SOMETIMES AT UNPREDICTABLE TIMES. ON THIS MORNING THE SIGNAL FOR SERVICE AIR BAG LIT UP. I CONTINUED DRIVING AND AFTER A FEW MINUTES IT TURNED OFF. I TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO MY LOCAL DEALER ([XXX]) ON MARCH 11, 2014, WHERE I WAS INFORMED THE AIR BAG MAY NOT FUNCTION IF I AM IN AN ACCIDENT. THE SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT HAS CONTINUED TO LIGHT UP MORE FREQUENTLY. PRESENTLY IT TURNS ON ALMOST EVERY DAY OR EVERY 2 DAYS. CONCERNED THE AIR BAG WILL NOT WORK WHEN IT IS NEEDED. I REALIZE THAT AS THE OWNER OF THE VEHICLE I AM RESPONSIBLE FOR THE MAINTENANCE OF THE CAR ON PARTS THAT ARE USED AND WORN, BUT IN THIS CASE, THE MALFUNCTION OF AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE VEHICLE ASSOCIATED TO THE SAFETY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE VEHICLE SHOULD BE A STANDARD FUNCTIONING PART THAT SHOULD WORK THROUGHOUT THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I OWN A 2007 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. THE I COULD NOT GET THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION AND THE FAILURE CONTINUED AT RANDOM ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE IGNITION KEY ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED AND THE FAILURE STILL RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE SHIFT CABLE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. 600.00 DOLLARS FOR BOTH REPAIRS. *TR

PASSENGER SIDE SEAT AIRBAG SOMETIMES DOES NOT COME ON. CAN'T SEEM TO FIND THE PROBLEM. KIND OF A NERVE RACKING SITUATION. STEERING COLUMN DOES NOT LOCK WHEN THE VEHICLE IS SHUT OFF AND THE KEY REMOVED. NOT A GOOD FEELING WITH ALL THAT IS GOING ON WITH GM IGNITION SWITCH PROBLEMS.

WHEN A PASSENGER IS IN THE SEAT THE AIR BAG IS OFF A LOT OF THE TIME JUST LIKE GM RECALL #07174 NHTSA ID # 07V344000. BACK WHEN IT STARTED DEALER SAID IT WOULD BE HARD TO FIND THE PROBLEM NOW THEY SAY THERE IS NO CURRENT RECALL ON THIS CAR. *TR
