2005 Chevrolet Equinox

I HAVE HAD AN IGNITION PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE FOR APPROXIMATELY A YEAR OR MORE. WHEN I PUT KEY IN IGNITION, I HAVE A HARD TIME GETTING IT TO TURN TO START VEHICLE. AND THEN, WHEN I WANT TO TURN CAR OFF, IT IS DIFFICULT TO REMOVE KEY FROM IGNITION. I TOOK TO CHEVY DEALER IN KENOSHA, WI AND WAS TOLD THAT MY VEHICLE IS NOT ON RECALL LIST AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR IT MYSELF. I JUST WONDER WITH ALL THESE RECALLS GOING ON WITH CHEVY FOR THE SAME ISSUE THAT I AM HAVING WITH MY CHEVY, WHY THEY WON'T FIX IT AND COVER EXPENSES? PLEASE HELP! *TR

AT APPROXIMATELY 10-30 MPH THE CARS ABS SYSTEM ENGAGES ON ITS OWN, BOTH WHILE STEPPING ON THE BRAKE PEDDLE AND WHILE JUST DRIVING WITHIN THAT SPEED RANGE. WHILE TRYING TO COME TO A STOP, THE ABS SYSTEM WILL ENGAGE AND WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO STOP SAFELY. IN ONE INSTANCE I HAD TO YANK ON THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AND DROP THE CAR TO A LOWER GET JUST TO AVOID HITTING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. THE SYSTEM WILL KEEP ENGAGING UNTIL THE SYSTEM TIMES ITSELF OUT. THEN THE ABS AND TC LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD ILLUMINATE. I AM APPROXIMATE $1500.00 INTO THIS ISSUE AT THE DEALERSHIP AND STILL NO SOLUTION. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO MY LOCAL CHEVY DEALER AND THEY CAN'T SEEM TO FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM. THEY HAVE REPLACED THE CARS FL HUB ASSEMBLY, MULTIPLE SPEED SENSORS, AND THE E.B.C.M. THROUGH CHANGING ALL THING PARTS STILL NO SUCCESS. THE CAR IS CURRENTLY THERE NOW FOR FURTHER DIAGNOSING. *TR

THIS IS MY SECOND TIME REPORTING A COMPLAINT ABOUT OUR 2005 EQUINOX. THE ABS AND TC, TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS ARE COMING ON AND OUR ANTI LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM IS ENGAGING IN AND OUT, AND THEN DISENGAGING TOTALLY LEAVING US WITH NO ANTI LOCK BRAKES.WE HAD NEW BRAKES AND ROTORS PUT ON IN OCT OF 2013, PLUS A BATTERY. MY HUSBAND HAS A PA. STATE INSPECTION MECHANICS LICENSE. SO HE WENT TO THE GARAGE TO CHECK THE BRAKES ALONG WITH ANOTHER STATE INSPECTION MECHANIC. THEY TOOK THE WHEELS OFF AND THE FRONT HUBS FOR THE ABS ARE BAD THIS VEHICLE ONLY HAS 34,790 MILES ON IT TO DATE. PLUS THIS WILL BE THE 5TH SET OF FRONT BRAKES AND ROTORS THAT HAVE TO BE REPLACED AGAIN.. AND NOW, THE ABS SYSTEM, OR HUBS. WHAT EVER IS FOUND WHEN IT GETS TAKEN APART. " NICE " HERE WE GO AGAIN !!! *TR
