2007 CHEVROLET EQUINOX Complaints

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

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.

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

I WAS LEAVING MY DRIVEWAY AND MY ELECTRIC POWER STEERING QUIT WORKING. I ENDED UP IN THE OTHER LANE BECAUSE MY CAR WOULDN'T TURN. LUCKILY THERE WAS NO ONE ELSE USING THAT LANE AT THE TIME. NOW I SEE A RECALL IN THE NEWS IN WHICH GM SAYS THEY WANT TO GET ALL VEHICLES THAT COULD BE EFFECTED, BUT THEY DON'T INCLUDE THE EQUINOX.? *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING IN REVERSE OUT OF THE DRIVE WAY SHE LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE DUE TO THE POWER STEERING FAILURE. THE STEERING WHEEL WAS HARD TO TURN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHO REPLACED THE POWER STEERING CONTROL MODULE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE 149,000. UPDATED 5/27/14*CN UPDATED 06/17/14 MA

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
