THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT WINDOW STOPPED WORKING THEN MONTHS LATER THE SWITCH THAT TELLS THE BCM THE DOOR IS OPEN OR CLOSED FAILED AND THE RADIO DOESN'T. SHUT OFF AND THE DOME LIGHTS DON'T COME ON WHEN EXITING THE VEHICLE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. AFTER THE CONTACT SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE, FUEL FUMES WERE PRESENT IN AND AROUND THE VEHICLE. AFTER INSPECTING THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT DISCOVERED FUEL LEAKING UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,000. UPDATED 9/2914*CN THE VEHICLE WAS FIXED. UPDATED 10/02/14

WHEN CAR IS PARKED GEAR SHIFT IS IN "PARK" THE IGNITION KEY WILL TURN OFF ENGINE BUT CANNOT REMOVE THE KEY. MUST RESTART ENGINE, PUT INTO GEAR AND BACK INTO "PARK" AND TURN THE STEERING WHEEL FOR A SECOND TRY TO REMOVE THE KEY. SOMETIMES IT TAKES 4 ATTEMPTS TO GET THE KEY TO COME OUT! HAS BEEN ON-GOING FOR SEVERAL WEEKS. *TR

IN THE MORNING OF MAY 1, 2014, I WENT TO THE PARKING LOT TO GET THE EQUINOX TO BUY SOME GROCERIES. WHEN I WAS OPENING THE DOOR, I SMELLED GASOLINE. SO I LOOKED UNDER THE EQUINOX AND SAW A BIG WET SPOT UNDER THE FUEL TANK. I IMMEDIATELY BROUGHT THE EQUINOX TO AN AUTO REPAIR SHOP. IT WAS FOUND OUT THAT THE FUEL PUMP WAS LEAKING. SO I BOUGHT A NEW FUEL PUMP AND THE REPAIR WAS FINISHED ON MAY 3, 2014. I WOULD LIKE TO MENTION THAT ON JUNE 18, 2013, I BROUGHT THE EQUINOX TO THE CHARLES CLARK CHEVROLET FOR INSPECTION AFTER I RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER FROM GENERAL MOTORS FOR THE FUEL PUMP THAT WOULD LIKE. AFTER THE INSPECTION OF THE FUEL TANK AND FUEL PUMP, THE DEALER DECLARED NO LEAKS AND FOUND ALL WITHIN SPECS. I WAS MISLED BECAUSE THE FUEL PUMP LEAKED. BEING RECALLED, THE DEALER SHOULD HAVE CHANGED THE FUEL PUMP LEAKING OR NOT AND I WOULD NOT HAVE SPENT FOR THE REPAIR. I IMMEDIATELY FILED REIMBURSEMENT FROM THE DEALER AND I WAS TOLD THAT MY CLAIM WAS FORWARDED TO GENERAL MOTORS. UNTIL NOW (8/22/14) I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY REFUND. UPDATED 03/04/15. *JB

THE CAR STARTS TO JERK WHILE DRIVING ALMOST CAUSING ME TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT. THE TRANSMISSION JERKS AND THE TRACTIONS CONTROL MAKES THE CAR BECOME UNDRIVABLE. THE COMPUTER IN THE CAR IS DEFECTED I PURCHASED THE CAR LAST YEAR IN 2013 AND THE CAR COMPUTER TRANSMISSION IS NO GOOD. *TR

CANNOT REMOVE KEY FROM IGNITION. KEYS (BOTH KEYS THAT WERE ISSUED WITH THE CAR) WILL GO INTO THE IGNITION WITHOUT A PROBLEM, BUT WHEN TRYING TO REMOVE THE KEYS, THEY WILL NOT COME OUT. YOU HAVE TO TURN THE CAR BACK ON, WIGGLE THE STEERING WHEEL AND TAKE THE CAR OUT OF GEAR AND PUT BACK IN PARK, SOME TIMES SEVERAL TIMES. YOU WILL FINALLY HEAR A CLICK, LIKE UNLOCKING OF THE DOORS AND THE KEYS WILL COME OUT OF THE IGNITION. TOOK TO A DEALER AND THEY SAID THERE WAS A RECALL, THEY WORKED ON THE CAR BUT IT STILL DOES THE SAME THING. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR OVER 3 YEARS. SOME TIMES THE PROBLEM GOES AWAY FOR WEEKS AT A TIME AND THEN RETURNS. *TR

I GAVE SOMEONE A BOOST AND MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT RIGHT AFTER THEY BOOSTED THEIR CAR. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND STARTED SHAKING REALLY BADLY...I WOULD PUSH ON THE GAS TO TRY TO GAIN POWER BUT THE VEHICLE DID NOT RESPOND. I EXITED TO THE NEAREST AUTOZONE AND HAD IT TESTES. .SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE GSR VALVE AND THROTTLE AND FUEL SYSTEM. SO I CHANGED THE PARTS THAT I COULD BUT NOW IT'S HAVING THE SAME REACTION. NOW THE AIR CONDITIONING IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY AS WELL. I'VE HAD TO BUY TIRES BUT THEY KEEP WEARING BECAUSE SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE STABILITY TRACK.THE AIR BAGS NEED SERVICE. AND NOW JUST TWO DAYS AGO SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE SPEEDOMETER. THE MOTOR ALSO MAKES A WEIRD SOUND. ..OVER ALL I DON'T FEEL SAFE IN MY VEHICLE ANYMORE. NOW THE VEHICLE STILL SHAKES AND I HAVE TO BUY TIRES AGAIN.IT SHAKES VERY BADLY. AI JUST DID AN OIL CHANGE AND IT ALREADY NEEDS MORE OIL. *TR

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND CAR FELT SLUGGISH. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP AND FOUND THROTTLE BODY ASM/TPS REGISTERS INCORRECTLY. REPLACED THROTTLE BODY ASM. *TR

TOOK CAR IN FOR VIBRATIONS. TRIED REPLACING TIRES TO SEE IF THAT WAS PROBLEM. IT WAS NOT, IT WAS U-JOINT WORN INTO FLANGE AND CENTER SUPPORT BEARING HAS EXCESSIVE PLAY. REPLACED REAR DRIVESHAFT ASM WITH CENTER SUPPORT BEARING. *TR
