2007 CHEVROLET EQUINOX Electrical System Problems

The ECM in my vehicle appears to have an intermittent failure that can cause it to send the vehicle into WOT at any time at random. I was stopped at a traffic signal. It turned green, I let off the brake and my vehicle learched forward for a second, and then, all of a sudden launched into and hit the vehicle in front of me. I tried to push down the brakes, but they were too stiff, and, no, my foot did not even get a chance to press the gas yet. There was only minor damage to my vehicle, however, the situation was extremely scary. I have since changed out the ECM and have had no issues since. I have seen this issue once before on a similar vehicle, except, what happened with that is the vehicle was in a garage, and the ECM had failed nearly completely and stuck the vehicle in WOT. In my case, I was still able to drive the vehicle home, so the issue appeared to me intermittent. I still have the original ECM for further investigation. As I understand it, this ECM is in thousands of GM vehicles, across multiple lines. GM Part Number: 12611090.

Everytime my vehicle is exposed to water by rain or car wash. It goes into low power mode or limp mode only accelerating to like 30mph. I was told there is water getting somewhere is shouldnt causing a short. Im not the only one with this problem . Ive read on several forums.I was just on the freeway recently and it rained for about 5 minutes here in fresno California which is extremely unusual because it is still summer and the vehicle did this while i was driving. I could've caused an accident i had to pull over and stop driving. I turned off and on the car several times and the low power mode finally went away, and also the service stabilitrak system. Chevy is aware of this problem and they need to fix before somebody gets hurt

ENGINE OVERHEATING "STATIONARY AND IN MOTION" SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH MOST 2006 AND ABOVE. I REPLACED THE THERMOSTAT, THE WATER PUMP, I PERFORMED A RADIATOR FLUSH, REPLACED THE ECT SENSOR, AND STILL THE CAR OVER HEATS. I DID A COMPRESSION TEST AND IT'S FINE, I CHECKED THE HEAD GASKETS AND THEY ARE FINE. THE OIL LOOKS FINE, THE RADIATOR FLUID LOOKS FINE. I WENT THROUGH A CAR WASH AFTER REPLACING THE WATER PUMP, THERMOSTAT, AND ECT SENSOR. THE CAR STILL OVER HEATS, BOTH AT IDLE AND AFTER DRIVING 2 MILES OR 10 MILES. I'VE BEEN TOLD IT'S EITHER AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE, A RADIATOR ISSUE, OR ENGINE ELECTRICAL ISSUE. I CAN NOT KEEP PUTTING MONEY INTO A CAR THAT IS ONLY WORTH $2,500. MANY OTHER PEOPLE I HAVE NOTICED POSTED THE SAME ISSUE OF OVER HEATING AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE ABOUT IT. IT SHOULD BE A CHEVY RECALL, AND REPAIRED BY THE MANUFACTURER. HERE IS AN EXAMPLE OF 1 OTHER COMPLAINT:........ON NOVEMBER 17TH THE VEHICLE STARTED TO TELL ME THAT IT WAS OVERHEATING AND TO TURN A/C OFF. A/C WAS NOT EVEN ON BECAUSE IT WAS COLD AND THE HEAT WAS BLOWING COLD AIR. THE VEHICLE THEN TOLD ME WHILE I WAS TRYING TO GET TO A SAFE LOCATION TO PULL OVER THAT THE ENGINE POWER WAS REDUCED AND THE VEHICLE STATED TO CRAWL ALONG THE ROAD. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS LOOKED AT WHERE I PULLED OVER THERE WAS MINIMAL OIL IN THE VEHICLE AND IT HAD BLOW COOLANT ALL OVER THE DRIVER SIDE WHEEL WELL FROM WHAT LOOKED LIKE THE OVERFLOW TUBE. OIL WAS PUT IN THE VEHICLE SO THAT I COULD DRIVE IT TO A SAFE LOCATION. ON NOVEMBER 18TH I WENT TO START THE VEHICLE TO GO TO WORK AND WITHOUT GOING ANY PLACE BUT SITTING IN THE DRIVEWAY IT STARTED TO TELL ME THAT THE ENGINE WAS OVERHEATING AND TO TURN A/C OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED. THE DEALERSHIP THAT I USE WORKED ON IT AND REPLACED THE TEMP CONTROL AND THERMOSTAT AND DID A COMPLETE OIL CHANGE. MANY OTHER EQUINOX OWNERS ARE HAVING SAME ISSUE

THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER IN MY 2007 CHEVY EQUINOX LS ALL THE GAUGES STOP WORKING THEN I'LL START WORKING AND YOU DON'T KNOW IF YOUR CAR IS OVERHEATING YOU DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH GAS YOU HAVE OR HOW FAST YOU'RE GOING THE ODOMETER STUCK AT 1:20 SOME DAYS THAT'LL WORK SOME DAYS IT DON'T AND I BELIEVE THEY HAD A RECALL ON THIS BUT ONLY SOME CARS WERE AFFECTED WHEN THEY SHOULD HAVE RECALLED ALL OF THEM AND REPLACE THE STEPPER MOTORS ON ALL 2007 EQUINOXES NOT JUST SOME I'VE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS NOW FOR TOO LONG AS THEY SAID IT WAS VERY EXPENSIVE TO GET IT REPAIRED WELL WITH ALL THE COMPLAINTS I SEEN ONLINE I FEEL THAT THEY SHOULD HAVE RECALLED IT AND FIXED ALL OF THEM THERE STILL A LOT OF 07 ON THE ROAD AND IT'S A SAFETY HAZARD MY WIFE REFUSES TO DRIVE THE CAR CUZ SHE DOESN'T KNOW HOW FAST SHE'S GOING AND I'M ABOUT TO THAT POINT NOW I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH GAS I GOT SOMETIMES I DON'T KNOW IF THE CAR IS HOT OR IF I'M GOING TO RUN OUT OF GAS I DO USE THE TRIP FUNCTION ON EVERY TANK OF GAS I HAVE TO MY I REALLY THINK THIS NEEDS TO BE TAKING A LOOK AT AN ALL O SEVENS RECALLS ON THE STEPPER MOTORS REPLACED OR SOMEBODY GETS KILLED SOMEBODY MAY PANIC THINK THEY'RE GOING 120 OR THINK THAT THEIR CARS GOING TO STOP AND THEY COULD GET INTO SERIOUS ACCIDENT BECAUSE THE GAUGES AREN'T WORKING AND IT JUST STARTLED THEM THIS PROBLEM STARTED AFTER I PURCHASE THE VEHICLE USED AND THE GUY TOLD ME THAT HE NOTICED IT A COUPLE TIMES ON THE ODOMETER WELL IT'S SLOWLY DEVELOPED INTO ALL THE GAUGES NOW. *TR

MY 2007 CHEVY EQUINOX INSTRUMENT PANEL HAS BEEN ACTING UP HERE RECENTLY AND THE SPEEDOMETER GOES TO 120MPH AND STAYS THERE. YOU CAN'T TELL HOW FAST YOU ARE GOING. THAT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THE GAS GAUGE N TEMPERATURE GAUGE WILL GO TO THE TOP LIKE FULL OR HOT OR NOT MOVE AT ALL. COULD BURN AN ENGINE UP OR RUN OUT OF GAS. RECALL WAS DONE I HEARD BUT NOT ON ALL 2007EQUINOX VEHICLES AND IT SHOULD HAVE INCLUDED ALL. THERE ARE A LOT STILL ON THE ROAD. I AM ASKING FOR SAFETY REASONS TO INCLUDE ALL 2007 CHEVY EQUINOX VEHICLES TO BE RECALLED AND FIXED BY GM. IT IS VERY EXPENSIVE TO HAVE REPAIRED AT A SHOP OR AT THE DEALER. IF I WAS ABLE TO DO MYSELF I WOULD BUT I'M NOT A MECHANIC OR DO I KNOW ELECTRICAL SO I'M NOT DOING IT. I WANT IT DONE BY A PROFESSIONAL AND I AM PLEADING THAT ALL 07 CHEVY EQUINOX VEHICLES BE INCLUDED AND A NEW RECALL BE SENT OUT TO ALL 2007 OWNERS. THAT IS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. NOT KNOWING THE SPEED YOU ATE GOING IS UNSAFE. IT GAS BEEN GOING ON NOW SINCE DECEMBER 2019 AND NOW ITS EVERYDAY. THE GAUGES MIGHT WORK ONE DAY THEN NOT WORK FOR 3 DAYS THEN WORK AGAIN FOR ONE DAY. IT NEEDS TO RECALLED ASAP. DOESN'T MATTER IF VEHICLE IS MOVING OR PARKED. IT WILL HO UP 120MPH AND STAY THERE FOR DAYS.

07 EQUINOX VEHICLE WOULDN'T START, KEY STUCK IN IGNITION. TRIED WIGGLING STEERING WHEEL WHICH WAS NOT LOCKED AND WOULD NOT LOCK. THE KEY WOULD NOT COME ALL THE WAY BACK IN ORDER TO GET IT OUT. CAR WAS IN PARK AT HOME THANK GOD. TRIED EVERYTHING I KNOW EVEN LOOKED IT UP ON GOOGLE. THERE WERE SO MANY COMPLAINTS ON THIS ABOUT 07 EQUINOX KEY STUCK AND SOME VEHICLES WOULD START AND LOTS MORE WOULDNT?? WE TRIED TO DO START BUT IT DID NOT TURN OVER. WE HAD TO PUT ON A CHARGER AND MONITOR THE BATTERY TO SEE IF IT WOULD CHARGE. LATER THAT NIGHT I TOOK THE VEHICLE OFF THE CHARGER AND TRIED IT AND IT STARTED. WENT AND HAD BATTERY CHECKED AT ADVANCE AUTO AND THEY SAID BATTERY HAS NO PROBLEMS FULLY CHARGED. HOW CAN THAT BE WHAT IS CAUSING THIS. I SEEN ONLINE MANY, MANY, COMPLAINTS ON THIS EQUINOX ISSUE AND IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. WHAT HAPPENS IF IT DECIDES TO JUST STOP WORKING ON THE INTERSTATE GOING 65-75 MPH. SOMEONE COULD GET SERIOUS INJURED KILLED IF THEY LOSE POWER ALL OF A SUDDEN. NO LIGHTS WERE LEFT ON, NOTHING WAS LEFT ON CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO DRAIN THE BATTERY ALL OF A SUDDEN. THE KEY WAS NOT LEFT IN THE VEHICLE I WENT TO START IT AND KEY STAYED STUCK IN IGNITION AND TURNED OVER BUT NOTHING NO POWER. IF YOU LOSE POWER DRIVING YOU LOSE POWER STEERING. POWER BRAKES, AND IT TAKES A WHILE TO GET VEHICLE TO A STOP. EVEN USING PARKING BRAKE WHICH MOST PEOPLE WOULD PANIC AND FORGET TO TRY N GET VEHICLE STOPPED AND CRASH INTO AND CARS OR PEDESTRIANS FOR THAT MATTER IF POWER GOES OUT WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED. THIS NEED TO BE RECALLED AND FIGURE OUT WHAT IS CAUSING THIS PROBLEM. I HAD TO RECHARGE BATTERY MYSELF. IT CHECKED OUT AS GOOD BATTERY FULLY CHARGED? NO PREVIOUS INCIDENTS ON THIS MATTER THANK GOD. SHOULD RECALL ALL 07 EQUINOX AND HAVE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM CHECKED.

I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S A TAKATA INFLATOR, BUT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE 2007 CHEVY EQUINOX, BUT, FOR SOME REASON THE RECALL DID NOT HAVE MY WIFE'S CAR'S VIN # REGARDING THIS RECALL. SO, HER CAR DID NOT RECEIVE A RECALL NOTICE! WHAT I'M UPSET ABOUT IS, THAT SHE HAS LOW MILEAGE ON HER CAR, AND HAD THE SAME PROBLEM, JUST RECENTLY, AND IT'S THE SAME MODEL AND YEAR, REGARDING THE RECALL, THAT DID NOT INVOLVE HER CAR! I WAS TOLD BY GM, THAT BECAUSE HER VIN # WAS NOT "IN" THE RECALL, THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THAT THEY COULD DO, BUT IF I WANTED TO, BECAUSE IT'S A SAFETY PROBLEM, THAT I COULD CONTACT YOU! AND "THEN" IF YOU TOLD THEM THAT IT WAS A SAFETY PROBLEM, WHICH IT IS, THAT YOU COULD THEN, GET IN TOUCH WITH GM, AND THEY WOULD TAKE CARE OF IT! SO, WHAT CAN BE DONE, THIS SHOULDN'T BE LIKE THIS!!! PLEASE HELP US TAKE CARE OF THIS SAFETY PROBLEM ON MY WIFE'S 2007 CHEVY EQUINOX IF YOU WOULD PLEASE! REGARDING THE NOTE BELOW, MY WIFE WAS SIMPLY DRIVING, AND THE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON, AND THAT WAS IT. WHEN I GOT IN TOUCH WITH GM, THEY DID TELL ME THAT THERE "WAS" A RECALL ON THIS, BUT BECAUSE MY WIFE'S EQUINOX DID NOT FALL INTO THEIR RECALL VIN #, THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THAT THEY COULD DO! IF IT WAS A DIFFERENT MODEL, YEAR, ETC. THEN I COULD UNDERSTAND OF COURSE, BUT NOT WHEN IT'S THE SAME CAR, AND MODEL, THAT THEY RECALLED!!! THANK YOU FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE, IN ANY WAY! *TR

THE VEHICLE HAS STABLE TRACK LINK ERROR AND WILL NOT GO AWAY! PARTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED, BOTH AFTERMARKET AND SWAPPED FOR GENUINE GM AND STILL THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT IS ON. THE FUEL GAUGE DOESN'T WORK PROPERLY AND WILL JUST AT RANDOM SHOW OVER THE FULL MARK OR UNDER THE EMPTY MARK WHEN I HAVE PURCHASED FUEL ON THE SAME DAY. THE THROTTLE BODY HAD TO BE REPLACED AT 45,000 MILES WHEN THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND JUST SAT ON A BUSY ROAD.

LESS THAN 4,000 MILES DRIVEN AFTER I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AS IT WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF 2ND GEAR. THE HEATER CORE ALSO EXPLODED ON THE WAY TO THE DEALERSHIP TO ASSESS THE TRANSMISSION ISSUES. AROUND 20-25,000 MILES AFTER PURCHASE THE ENGINE COOLANT TEMP GAUGE STOPPED REPORTING TEMPERATURES CORRECTLY AND WOULD REDLINE EVEN IF THE CAR WAS OFF FOR OVER 2 DAYS IT WOULD START UP WAY ABOVE THE NORMAL OPERATING TEMPERATURE. THE FUEL GUAGE NO LONGER CORRECTLY INDICATES HOW MUCH GAS IS LEFT IN THE TANK AND WILL NOT MOVE OFF OF EMPTY EVEN AFTER PUMPING 13 GALLONS INTO THE TANK. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AT A RED LIGHT WHEN HEATER CORE BLEW OUT. VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN DURING TRANSMISSION, TEMPERATURE, AND GAS GAUGE FAILURES.

WHEN I HAVE A PASSENGER IN THE SEAT THE AIRBAG NEVER COMES ON AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT STAYS ON AND TELLS ME IT NEEDS SERVICE. ALSO ALL MY GAUGES ARE ALL OUT OF WACK NOT SURE IF IT IS A RECALL OR NOT ONCE I HIT 100,000 MILES ALL THESE THINGS CAME ABOUT. ALSO THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE FUEL SYSTEM AND AT THE TIME I DID NOT HAVE A PROBLEM AS OF YET, ON 9/29/15 I THEN SMELLED THE GAS AND CALLED MK SMITH CHEVROLET TO SEE IF THERE WERE ANY RECALLS ON THIS AND THEY TOLD ME NO, SO I DID TAKE IT SOMEWHERE ELSE TO BE FIXED DUE TO IT BEING CHEAPER FOR ME AND GOT IT FIXED AND PAID $633.60. I HAVE DOCUMENT FOR THAT. NOW MY KEY IN THE IGNITION DOES NOT COME OUT AND I HEAR A CLICKING NOISE BY THE IGNITION I'M NOT SURE IF THAT AS WELL IS A RECALL ON THE EQUINOX 2007.

I PURCHASED A 2007 CHEVY EQUINOX AT A CHEVY DEALERSHIP IN 2014. A COUPLE OF WEEKS AFTER PURCHASE I STARTED HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE KEY IN THE IGNITION. IT WOULD SOMETIMES GET SO I COULD NOT PULL IT OUT OF THE IGNITION AFTER PUTTING THE VEHICLE IN PARK. I HAVE WAITED FOR A YEAR, BECAUSE I BELIEVED THE PROBLEM WOULD GET BETTER. THE PROBLEM HAS CONTINUED, AND IS SLOWLY GETTING WORSE. I HAVE EVEN TRIED DIFFERENT SETS OF KEYS TO SEE IF THAT MADE A DIFFERENCE, IT HAS NOT. IT DOES NOT MATTER IF THE VEHICLE IS PARKED ON A FLAT SERVICE OR ON AN INCLINE, THE KEY KEEPS GETTING STUCK IN THE IGNITION. I HAVE EVEN TAKEN ALL OTHER KEYS OFF THE KEY RING THINKING THAT WOULD MAKE A DIFFERENCE, IT DID NOT. THE ONLY WAY THAT I CAN GET THE KEY OUT IS BY SHAKING THE SHIFTER ON THE FLOOR AND WOBBLE THE STEERING WHEEL BACK AND FORTH. THAT DOES NOT ALWAYS WORK, SO SOMETIMES I HAVE TO TURN THE VEHICLE BACK ON AND OFF AGAIN TO GET IT TO COME OUT. I AM AFRAID THAT ONE OF THESE TIMES I AM NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO GET THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION WHICH WILL MAKE IT EASIER FOR SOMEONE TO BREAK INTO IT AND STEAL IT FROM ME. I HAVE GONE BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP THAT I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND TOLD ME THAT I WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE IGNITION CYLINDER AT MY OWN EXPENSE SINCE THERE IS NO OFFICIAL RECALL ON THE PART. *TR

ON OCTOBER 19, 2009, I PURCHASED A CHEVROLET EQUINOX 2007. AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE I NOTICED CONDENSATION IN THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT HEADLIGHT LENS AND I WAS TOLD BY THE SALESMAN AT THE TIME THAT IT WOULD "BURN OFF" IF I KEPT THE LIGHTS ON. SINCE THAT TIME BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER HEADLIGHTS HAVE DEVELOPED THE CONDENSATION ISSUE. THE CONDENSATION DOES NOT BURN OFF JUST KEEPS ACCUMULATING TO THE POINT WHERE THE HEADLIGHT BULB WOULD JUST BURN OUT. IN THE PAST SIX YEARS I HAVE REPLACED THE VARIOUS BULBS IN THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY NINE TIMES AND THE BULB SOCKET ASSEMBLIES HAVE BEEN CORRODED AS A RESULT OF THE CONSTANT PRESENCE OF MOISTURE. OFTEN TIMES I WOULD BE DRIVING AT NIGHT WHEN THE BULBS WOULD GO OUT MAKING THIS A SEVERE SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

SOMETIMES THE IGNITION FREEZES UP AND DOES NOT ALLOW YOU TO REMOVE THE KEY. ALTHOUGH THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN EVERY TIME IT HAPPENS ENOUGH TO BE A CONCERN. IF IN A MALL PARKING LOT IT COULD RENDER ONE IN A DANGEROUS POSITION OF NOT BEING ABLE TO TAKE THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION. I USUALLY HAVE TO WAIT SEVERAL MINUTES, UP TO 20, BEFORE THE IGNITION WILL RELEASE THE KEY. *TR

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

APPROACHING DRIVEWAY AND SUDDENLY THE SPEEDOMETER SHOWED I WAS DOING 90 MPH AND I KNEW THIS WAS INCORRECT AS I WAS SLOWING DOWN TO MAKE A TURN OFF OF A HIGHWAY. NOW THE SPEEDOMETER MAY WORK CORRECTLY FOR A FEW MILES AND THEN IT SHOWS THAT I AM DRIVING A SPEED ABOVE WHAT IS ALLOWED OR WHAT I KNOW IS UNTRUE. TOOK TO A MECHANIC AND HE SAYS THE SPEEDOMETER MOTOR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. FOR PAST 3 YEARS THE CHECK TIRE SENSOR MONITOR COMES ON WHEN MAKING A LONG DISTANCE TRIP. FOR PAST 2 YEARS THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON WHENEVER ANYONE SITS ON PASSENGER SIDE. MECHANIC SAYS CLUSTER PANEL NEEDS TO BE REPLACED.

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

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.

KEY STICKS IN IGNITION WHEN ENTERED INTO PARK, AND WILL NOT COME OUT MOST OF THE TIME. THE ONLY WAY TO RELEASE THE KEY IS TO STICK FINGER INTO A HOLE IN THE STEERING COLUMN AND SLIDE THE MANUAL RELEASE SWITCH WITHIN THE STEERING WHEEL COLUMN. THERE ARE NO OBSTRUCTIONS WHICH PREVENT THE GEAR SHIFT LEVER FROM ENTERING THE FULL PARK POSITION. *TR

Mileage: 35,000

WHEN I PUT MY VEHICLE IN PARK AND TRY TO TURN OFF MY CAR, THE KEY GETS STUCK IN THE IGNITION MORE OFTEN THAN NOT. I THEN HAVE TO TURN IT ON, BACK UP, PULL FORWARD, AND TURN IT OFF AGAIN TO SEE IF IT WILL LET ME TAKE THE KEY OUT. SOMETIMES I HAVE TO DO THIS 5-6 TIMES! *TR

THE KEY WILL NOT RELEASE FROM THE IGNITION WHEN THE CAR IS IN PARK AND TURNED OFF. THIS HAPPENS ABOUT ONE OUT OF EVERY FIVE TIMES THE CAR PARKS. I NORMALLY HAVE TO WAIT ABOUT 1 MINUTE FOR THE KEY TO RELEASE. SOMETIMES, IT WILL STILL NOT RELEASE AND I HAVE TO TURN THE CAR BACK ON, PUT IT IN REVERSE AND GO A COUPLE FEET, THEN DRIVE FORWARD A COUPLE FEET, PUT IT IN PARK FOR THE KEY TO RELEASE. I MAY HAVE TO DO THIS 3-4 TIMES BEFORE, THE KEY WILL FINALLY RELEASE. *TR

Mileage: 87,000

SOMETIMES WHEN YOU PARK THE KEYS WILL NOT COME OUT OF THE IGNITION.

ALSO THE TRAC CONTROL LIGHT WILL POP ON AND THEN HEAL ON ITS OWN, STAY OFF AS LONG AS A 16 MONTHS THEN GO BACK ON FOR A WEEK OR TWO THEN BACK OFF! WEIRD. *TR

I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE SINCE 2009 AND HAVE HAD MULTIPLE ISSUES, RECURRING FREQUENTLY. THE 2 MAIN CONCERNS ARE STUCK KEY IN IGNITION AND STABILITRACK AND ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTIONS. THERE IS A DEFINITE ISSUE WITH THE IGNITION IN THESE VEHICLES, NOT ONLY DOES MY KEY GET STUCK, IT HAS ALSO BEEN KNOCKED OUT WHEN HITTING A BUMP. I OWN A COBALT TOO THAT HAS BEEN RECALLED AND MY EQUINOX HAS THE SAME ISSUES WITH IGNITION THIS IS DANGEROUS AND FRUSTRATING!! IN ADDITION, MY STABILITRACK HAS BEEN SERVICED TWICE SINCE I HAVE OWNED. THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM GOES CRAZY AND LIGHTS UP WITH AIRBAG SERVICE, STABILITRACK SERVICE AND ABS BRAKE WARNINGS. I JUST SPENT 600 ON BRAKES AND ROTORS AND IT STILL LIGHTS UP. THE CAR HAS BEEN CHECKED AND NONE OF THESE WARNINGS ARE ACCURATE. THESE LIGHTS COME ON AND OFF RANDOMLY AND HAVE FOR YEARS. THE FUEL GAUGE WILL ROTATE BACKWARDS. THE OIL INDICATOR THAT TRACKS OIL LIFE RESETS ITSELF AT RANDOM. I AM ANGRY! THESE ISSUES NEED ADDRESSED. ARE WE NOT TAKEN SERIOUSLY BECAUSE NO ONE DIED? THERE ARE MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME NATURE AS MINE AND YET NO RECALL? SAD THAT ACTION IS TAKEN ONLY AFTER SOMEONE IS KILLED! GM NEEDS TO DO RIGHT BY PEOPLE WHO SPEND THEIR HARD EARNED MONEY TO PURCHASE THESE VEHICLES. I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN PRO CHEVY BUT NOT ANYMORE. THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE AND QUALITY SUCKS. *JS

WHEN I TURN THE VEHICLE OFF, THE IGNITION KEY STAYS STUCK. EVEN IF I TURN IT BACK AND FORTH IT DOES NOT COME OUT, I HAVE TO WAIT ABOUT TWO MINUTES BEFORE I CAN TAKE IT OUT.

I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS OFF AND ON WITH THE IGNITION, THE KEY GETS STUCK IN THE IGNITION AND I HAVE TO USUALLY WAIT A FEW MINUTES AND MOVE THE GEARS WHILE IN PARK TO GET THE IGNITION TO LET GO OF THE KEY. MY WORRY IS THE FACT THAT GM HAS RECALLS CURRENTLY ON IGNITION PROBLEMS WHICH HAVE CAUSED THE VEHICLES TO STOP WHILE DRIVING.

AFTER VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF. THE KEY CANNOT BE REMOVED OUT OF THE IGNITION. I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS ISSUE FOR YEARS! IN ORDER TO PULL THE KEY OUT. YOU MUST EITHER TURN THE VEHICLE ON THEN TURN IT BACK OFF SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE FINALLY THE IGNITION ALLOWS YOU TO REMOVE THE KEY. THE OTHER WAY IT ALLOWS YOU TO PULL OUT THE KEY IS BY TURNING THE KEY WITHOUT TURNING THE VEHICLE ON THEN MOVING THE GEARS FROM PARK TO REVERSE THEN BACK TO PARK. IT JUST CONTINUES TO GET WORSE AND WORSE. IT IS A HUGE CONCERN TO ME BECAUSE I AM AFRAID THAT I WOULD BE UNABLE TO PULL OUT THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE. *TR

THE IGNITION WILL NOT RELEASE THE KEY. I HAVE TRIED THE SHIFTER, SIT AND WAIT IN MY CAR TO SEE IF IT WILL RELEASE WITH TIME, STEP ON THE BRAKE FOR A LONG TIME THEN TRY TO TAKE THE KEY OFF AND HOPE IT WILL RELEASE THE KEY. *TR I CAN'T KEEP SITTING IN MY CAR WAITING FOR A MIRACLE TO HAPPEN WHEN I NEED TO LOG IN TO WORK AND AM STUCK IN THE CAR BECAUSE THE KEY WON'T COME OUT OF THE IGNITION. THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED. WITH AZ WEATHER BEING SO HOT SITTING IN THE CAR WAITING FOR THE RELEASE OF THE KEY IS MAKING IT HOT TO BREATHE. DON'T WANT TO ROLL DOWN THE WINDOWS BECAUSE I NEED THE KEY IN TO GET THE WINDOWS BACK UP. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. THIS HAS GONE ON FOR SEVERAL MONTHS I NEED SOMETHING DONE ABOUT THIS. THIS IS DANGEROUS. *TR

IGNITION LOCK UP, COULD NOT TURN OFF IGNITION. MOTOR STILL RUNNING, HAD TO TURN WHEEL BACK AND FORTH TO FIND A SPOT TO TURN OFF IGNITION CONTINUING PROBLEM. WE HAVE ALREADY BROUGHT TO DEALER SHIP TO HAVE PROBLEM CORRECTED. THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO FIND PROBLEM. *TR

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

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.

TRUE I HAD THE VEHICLE REPAIRED, BUT THE LETTER MENTIONS A REFUND. PLUS, DID I GET THE RIGHT REPLACEMENT PART OR SOME OTHER GENERIC PART?

THE AWD ON MY 2007 EQUINOX HAS BEEN EXCEPTIONALLY LOUD EVER SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR.

THIS PAST WINTER, I GO STUCK IN A SNOWSTORM AND MY AWD NEVER CAME ON, WHICH LED TO ME LOSING CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE. LUCKILY, I DIDN'T CRASH BUT HATED THE ENTIRE EXPERIENCE SINCE I HAD MY TWO SMALL CHILDREN WITH ME. ANYWAY, OVER THE WEEKEND (9/10/2010), MY STABILITRAK SERVICE LIGHT CAME ON. SINCE I WAS ALSO HAVING PROBLEMS GETTING THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION, I TOOK IT TO A DEALERSHIP WHO TOLD ME THE MAIN COMPUTER (BCM) NEEDS TO BE REPLACED.

WHEN THE KEY IS TURNED ALL OF THE ELECTRONICS JUST "CLICK" AND THE MOTOR DOES NOTHING. THIS HAPPENED JUST AFTER CHRISTMAS THIS PAST YEAR AS WELL. LUCKILY AT THAT TIME I WAS AT MY PARENTS HOUSE AND THOUGH JUMP STARTING IT WOULD NOT WORK, WE WERE ABLE TO CHARGE THE BATTERY FOR ABOUT 6 HOURS AND THEN IT STARTED. I HAVE ALSO HAD NUMEROUS PROBLEMS WITH MY RADIO (ACTUALLY ALL SOUND IN THE CAR - INCLUDING TURN SIGNALS) THAT RANDOMLY JUST DONT WORK OR THAT WHEN THE CAR IS STARTED BLAST SOUND FOR ABOUT 30 SECONDS BEFORE THE RADIO RETURNS TO NORMAL - BUT THE SIGNALS STILL PRODUCE A WIERD, SOMEWHAT ECHOING SOUND WHEN THEY DO CLICK. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER BUT THEY ARE UNABLE TO RECREATE THE PROBLEM AND SEND ME ON MY WAY.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN A PASSENGER IS SEATED IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT, THE AIR BAG INDICATOR ILLUMINATES REPEATEDLY. SHE STATED THAT THERE HAS TO BE A WEIGHT LIMIT IN ORDER FOR THE INDICATOR TO DIM. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 07V344000 (AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:SENSOR/CONTROL MODULE). THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 22,039 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 22,070. UPDATED 3/12/09 *CN THE TRACTION CONTROL ACTIVATED ON DRY PAVEMENT. IT MADE STEERING THE VEHICLE NEXT TO IMPOSSIBLE. THE HEADLIGHTS HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE ALL WHEEL LIGHT ILLUMINATED. UPDATED 03/16/09. *JB

I BOUGHT A 2007 CHEVY EQUINOX NEW. A COUPLE OF DAYS AFTER TAKING IT HOME A STRANGE PROBLEM STARTED OCCURRING, AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM BETWEEN THE LEFT SPEAKERS AND THE DIRECTIONALS. A LOUD RAPID NOISE WOULD SUDDENLY COME THROUGH THE LEFT SPEAKERS AS I WAS DRIVING AND WOULD CONTINUE UNTIL I USED THE TURN SIGNAL (EITHER DIRECTION). I HAD THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES. FIRST I WAS TOLD THERE WAS AN INTERMITTENT SHORT IN THE RADIO, BUT THE RADIO REPLACEMENT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. THEN THE LEFT TWEETER SPEAKER WAS CHANGED, THE RADIO RECALIBRATED (THREE TIMES), THE RADIO SOFTWARE UPDATED, AND FINALLY THE BODY CONTROL MODULE CHANGED. NONE OF THESE THINGS FIXED THE PROBLEM. THE GM ENGINEER LOOKED AT IT TWICE AND STILL COULDN'T SOLVE THE PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD NO OTHER GM PRODUCT IN THE ENTIRE COUNTRY HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AS MY VEHICLE. WHEN I WENT TO THE GENERAL MANAGER OF THE DEALERSHIP AND TOLD HIM OF THE PROBLEM AND THAT THE VEHICLE WAS A LEMON, HE CONTACTED THE GM DISTRICT REP, WHO REFUSED TO REPLACE THE VEHICLE. I WAS FORCED TO TAKE GM TO ARBITRATION, AND NOW I AM GETTING MY MONEY BACK PLUS MY FILING FEE. THE PROBLEM IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SIGNIFICANTLY IMPAIRS THE VALUE OF THE VEHICLE. I AM TURNING THE EQUINOX IN NEXT WEEK, TAKING MY MONEY AND BUYING A HONDA CR-V. I WOULD NOT ADVISE ANYONE TO BUY AN EQUINOX AFTER MY EXPERIENCE, AND ESPECIALLY GM'S ATTITUDE. IN FACT, I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER GM PRODUCT. IF YOU HAVE HAD YOUR EQUINOX TO THE DEALER AT LEAST 4 TIMES FOR THE SAME PROBLEM AND ARE STILL GETTING THE RUN AROUND AND NO RESOLUTION, FIRST WRITE TO THE CHEVY CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE CENTER FOR HELP IN REPAIRING THE VEHICLE. YOU WILL NEED TO DO THIS IN ORDER TO REQUEST A REPLACEMENT VEHICLE OR A REPURCHASE. SECOND, DON'T LET GM KEEP STRINGING YOU ALONG. FILE FOR ARBITRATION UNDER YOUR STATE'S LEMON LAW PROGRAM. IT'LL COME TO THAT ANYWAY. PLEASE, READ THE REVIEWS AND THE AUTO BLOGS ABOUT THIS VEHICLE ON LINE. EVEN THE NEWEST MODELS RATE POORLY. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. EVER SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED, THE CONTACT HEARD A TICKING SOUND IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. HE STATED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD POOR FUEL MILEAGE. THE CONTACT ALSO HAD TO JUMP FROM THE VEHICLE BECAUSE THE SERPENTINE BELT CAUGHT A WIRE THAT WAS NOT IN A WIRING HARNESS AS IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN. THE CONTACT ALSO EXPERIENCED STABILATRAC FAILURE ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS, WHICH CAUSED THE POWER STEERING TO FAIL. HE HAS BEEN INJURED TWICE BECAUSE THE REAR HATCH DOOR STRUTS FAILED AND STRUCK HIM IN THE HEAD. THE TIRES THAT CAME ON THE VEHICLE WERE SEVERELY WORN AND THE TURN SIGNALS WOULD NOT SHUT OFF. THE TWO FRONT DOORS AND THE REAR HATCH DOOR CRACKS AND MAKES SQUEAKING NOISES. SOME REPAIRS HAVE BEEN MADE; HOWEVER, THE REAR HATCH NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED ALONG WITH THE TICKING SOUND IN THE ENGINE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 170 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 26,000.

THE PASSENGER AIR BAG ONLY COMES ON NOW & THEN. MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THE GARAGE NUMEROUS TIMES. I'VE EXPLAINED WHAT HAPPENS. ALSO HAVE ISSUE WITH WIPES WORK, THEN NOT, BLINKERS WORK THEN NOT, BLINKERS DOUBLE CLICK. RADIO GETS REAL LOUD SOMETIMES, BEEPS WHEN DOOR OPEN REAL LOUD. HAVE REPLACED 3 BATTERIES & TWO STARTERS. BUT EVERYTIME IN GARAGE, HEAR "NOTHING WRONG". I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY CAR. I'M AFRAID IF I GET IN ACCIDENT MY AIR BAG WONT WORK. ALL THIS STARTED SIX MONTHS AFTER BOUGHT CAR. *TR

I HAD 2 CHEVY EQUINOX 2007 MODEL, LOADED. FIRST VEHICLE REPURCHASED DUE TO MULTIPLE EPISODES OF STABILITRAK FAILURE, TURN SIGNALS QUIT WORKING, RADIO PROBLEMS, PASSENGER SYSTEM AIRBAG NOT WORKING, AND FINALLY FAILURE OF MAIN AIRBAG SYSTEM. GIVEN EXACT TWIN OF FIRST CAR, AS THOUGHT THAT CAR WAS JUST A LEMON. 2ND EQUINOX HAD 2 EPISODES OF STABILITRAK FAILURE, AND A NEW STEERING COLUMN PLACED, AND THEN HAD TOTAL SYSTEM FAILURE OF THE STEERING, BRAKES, GAS, STABILITRAK, AND AIRBAG SYSTEM WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. I HAD ABSOLUTELY NO CONTROL OVER ANY OF THESE SYSTEMS! YOU COULD TURN MY STEERING WHEEL 360 DEGREES, AND THE WHEELS NEVER MOVED, THE BRAKES DIDN'T WORK, THE GAS DIDN'T WORK, AND ALL ALARMS WERE GOING OFF THAT THE SYSTEMS, INCLUDING THE AIRBAGS WERE NOT WORKING. LUCKILY, NO ONE WAS INJURED AS I HAD JUST BEGUN MAKING A TURN INTO ROADWAY AND ALL VEHICLES COMING AT ME BOTH WAYS WERE ABLE TO SWERVE, AND THE CAR WAS GOING SLOW ENOUGH AND OVER A SLIGHT INCLINE THAT IT ROLLED TO A STOP JUST BEFORE HITTING A STEEL LIGHT POST. THIS CAR WAS ALSO REPURCHASED. SOMETHING IS VERY WRONG IN THE ENGINEERING OF THIS VEHICLE AND I AM CONCERNED FOR ALL THE OTHER PEOPLE OWNING/DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. *TR

MY TRIP ODOMETER KEEPS RESETTING ON ITS OWN, WHEN YOUR GOING DOWN THE ROAD. ALSO MY CAR SOUNDS LIKE IT IS TAKING OFF WHEN STARTED THE FIRST TIME DURING THE DAY. I WAS TOLD IT WILL WARM UP AND GO AWAY. BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE THE EXHAUST IS FALLING OFF OR SOMETHING. I THINK THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE COMPUTER SINCE IT HAS BEEN. AND THE PASSENGER SEAT AIR BAG DOES NOT ALWAYS COME ON. RESET SEVERAL TIMES, BUT KEEPS DOING THE SAME THING WITH THE TRIP ODOMETER. *TR
