2007 Chevrolet Equinox

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS AN ELECTRIC POWER STEERING FAILURE. THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED SEVERAL TIMES WITHOUT WARNING. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE MORE THAN ONCE AND WAS NOT ABLE TO REPLICATE OR DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. 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.

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!

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.

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. I PULLED INTO MY DRIVEWAY AND CUT OFF THE IGNITION WAITED A FEW MINUTES AND TURNED THE CAR BACK ON TO SEE IF THIS WOULD HELP BUT TO NO AVAIL. I HAVE NOW TAKEN THE CAR TO MY LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO TURN WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE AND WAS LATER TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE POWER STEERING COMPUTER FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 150,000.

WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 95 GOING 70 MPH , THE STEERING LOCKED UP AND I LOST POWER WHEN ALL THE DASH LIGHTS STARTED FLASHING. THIS WAS THE DAY AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM AUTO SHOWCASE OF BELAIR MD. THE POWER STEERING GOING OUT HAPPENED ATLEAST 7 TIMES IN THE FIRST TWO WEEKS ALONE. I REQUESTED FOR THEM TO TAKE THE CAR BACK, THEY REFUSED.. 4 WEEKS INTO OWNING THIS CAR THE POWER STEERING ISSUE WAS FINALLY RESOLVED.DURING THAT TIME PERIOD I FOUND OUT THAT THE CAR SOLD TO ME WAS STOLEN, THE DEALER DID NOT TELL ME THAT AND SHOWED ME PAPER WORK THAT WAS NOT A CAR FAX REPORT. THREE MONTHS LATER IN OCTOBER OF 2013 MY CAR STARTED OVER HEATING AND CUTTING POWER OFF TO THE ENGINE WHILE DRIVING THE SPEED LIMIT ON 95. IT HAPPENED 5 TIMES. A MECHANIC LOOKED IT OVER AND SAID THE HEAD GASKETS WERE BLOWN. AFTER A MONTH IT WAS FIXED. ONE MONTH LATER IN DECEMBER, MY CAR WOULD SHUT OFF ON ME WHILE DRIVING. I AM NOT JOKING WHEN I SAY THAT HAPPENED OVER 100 TIMES. I HAVE OVER 20 VIDEOS OF THIS HAPPENING UP UNTIL JUST RECENTLY IN FEBRUARY OF 2015. SO THE ISSUE NOW,OTHER THAN MY CAR JUST RANDOMLY SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING, IS MY HEAD GASKETS BLEW AGAIN. I HAVE BEEN LOOKING ON LINE AND HAVE FOUND THIS TO BE A SERIOUS PROBLEM FOR THOUSANDS OF OTHER CHEVY EQUINOX OWNERS! WHY HAS THIS PARTICULAR MODEL NOT HAVE RECALLED!? THIS MODEL IS DANGEROUS TO ANYONE THAT DRIVES IT OR JUST HAPPENS TO BE ON THE ROAD NEAR THEM. WHEN MY CAR HAS SHUT OFF ON ME OVER 100 TIMES IHAVE CUT MULTIPLE DRIVERS OFF EVERY TIME TRYING TO MAKE IT TO THE SHOULDER. THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED! THIS VEHICLE MODEL IS FAR FROM SAFE AND I DO BELIEVE THAT YOU KNOW THIS. YOU CAN LOOK UP ANY CHEVY EQUINOX FORUM ON THE INTERNET AND FIND THESE INCIDENTS. *TR
