2007 Chevrolet Equinox

MY KEY KEEPS GETTING STUCK IN THE IGNITION. I LITERALLY HAVE TO TURN MY CAR ON AND OFF, MOVE THE SHIFTER IN AND OUT OF PARK, SHAKE THE SHIFTER, TAKE MY FOOT OFF OF THE BRAKES, AT LEAST 10-15 TIMES BEFORE THE IGNITION WILL RELEASE THE KEY. I TRIED TO MAKE AN APPT WITH A CHEVY DEALERSHIP WHEN THIS PROBLEM WENT PUBLIC AND THEY CANCELLED ME BECAUSE MY VEHICLE WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. I TALKED TO A REPRESENTATIVE SHAKEVIA WITH CHEVROLET CHAT AND SHE SAID THAT I WOULD HAVE TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL OF THE DIAGNOSIS AND REPAIR FEES SINCE MY VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDED WITH THE RECALL. I LOOKED AT THE RECALL LIST AND ALL THE VEHICLES THAT ARE ON THERE, THE YEAR OF MY VEHICLE FITS IN EVERY SINGLE COLUMN. *TR

I OWN A 2007 CHEVROLET EQUINOX, AND SINCE I BOUGHT IT, I HAVE HAD SEVERAL ISSUES WITH THE POWER STEERING. THE FIRST TIME, I STARTED THE VEHICLE AND THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT BRIEFLY. I HAD TO USE EXCESSIVE FORCE TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. ANOTHER TIME, I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL GOT VERY HARD ON ME, AND I COULDN'T MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL, EXTREMELY HARD TO TURN THE WHEEL. WHEN IT HAPPENS, I SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF AND RE-STARTED IT, SOMETIMES THE POWER STEERING WORKS AND SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T. THE TRACKING CONTROL AND SERVICE STABILITRAK WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON SINCE THE FIRST TIME. IT HAD HAPPENED INTERMITTENTLY FOR 3 YEARS. UNTIL I TOOK IT TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED POWER STEERING CONTROL MODULE FAILURE. I HAD TO SPENT A LOT OF MONEY TO FIX THE PROBLEM. RECENTLY, I HAVE HAD ANOTHER ISSUE, THE KEY GETS STUCK. THE KEY WILL NOT COME OUT OF THE IGNITION WHEN TURNING OFF THE VEHICLE. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK, TURN THE KEY OFF, THE ENGINE TURNS OFF, BUT THE KEY WILL NOT COME OUT OF THE IGNITION. AFTER NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS OF JIGGLING THE KEY AND TRYING TO MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL, I GET THE KEY TO TURN. ALL THIS IS DANGEROUS AND THE SAME TIME FRUSTRATING. FORTUNATELY, I HAVE NOT BEEN INVOLVED IN A CRASH. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, THE STABILITRACK WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY AND THE CONTACT HAD TO USE EXCESSIVE FORCE TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL.

THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING WENT OUT BRIEFLY. I MANAGED TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND SHUT THE CARE OFF AND RESTARTED IT AND THEN IT SEEMED TO WORK JUST FINE. IT HAS HAPPENED A COUPLE OF OTHER TIMES BUT I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO BE IN A PARKING LOT. I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANY RECALLS ON THIS BUT I HAVE NOTICED ALOT OF COMPLAINTS. *TR

17 YR OLD DAUGHTER DRIVING HOME FROM SCHOOL AND POWER STEERING FAILED. DEALER DIAGNOSED PROBLEM AS A FAILED POWER STEERING MODULE. COST TO REPLACE $730.00. SEEMS THAT WITH ALL THE COMPLAINTS AND SIMILAR RECALLS ON OTHER GM VEHICLES, GM SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL AS THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A KNOWN DEFECT AND HAS THE POTENTIAL TO RESULT IN SERIOUS OR FATAL INJURY. *TR

I HAVE MULTIPLE ISSUES CURRENTLY AND THEY ALL SEEM TO BE LISTED ON OTHER COMPLAINTS. 1. THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW HAS COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING. IT SEEMS TO HAVE BECOME DISCONNECTED TO THE MOTOR AS I CAN HEAR THE MOTOR GOING UP AND DOWN WITHIN THE DOOR. 2. STABILITRAK WARNING AND ENGINE LIGHT ARE CONSTANTLY TURNING ON AND OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON AND OFF OVER THE PAST YEAR OR SO BUT THE DEALERSHIP COULD NOT GET A READING FROM THE COMPUTER. NOW IT HAS BEEN ON FOR THE PAST 2 WEEKS CONSTANTLY 3. THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE IN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL DOES NOT WORK. TOOK IT INTO THE DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE THERMOSTAT A FEW DAYS LATER THE GAUGE WENT HAYWIRE AGAIN. IT GETS WORSE WHEN I FILL UP WITH GAS AND TENDS TO MIRROR THE GAS GAUGE READING MOST OF THE TIME. 4. THE KEY WILL NOT COME OUT OF THE IGNITION WHEN TURNING OFF THE CAR. THIS IS EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK, TURN THE KEY OFF, THE ENGINE TURNS OFF BUT THE KEY WILL NOT COME OUT OF THE IGNITION. HAVE TO TURN CAR BACK ON, PUT IT IN AND OUT OF PARK, TURN THE WHEEL, BACK UP, DRIVE FORWARD OR JUST SIT AND WAIT A FEW MINUTES AND IT COMES OUT. 5. OCCASIONALLY THE ELECTRONICS GO CRAZY - THE TURN SIGNALS WON'T WORK AND THE RADIO SHUTS DOWN. IT MAKES A SOUND WHEN IT DOES THIS AS WELL, LIKE A CLICKING NOISE BUT IT ONLY LASTS FOR A FEW SECONDS AND I CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT CAUSES IT. *TR
