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.
On Saturday may 25, 2013 my 2007 Chevrolet Equinox would not start. The key had gotten stuck in the ignition and I did not remove it and I think that killed the battery. I tried to jump start the car with no success. Finally on Sunday may 26,2013 I had a professional come jump start it. After it started the power steering went out and the stabilitrak warning light came on. This has never happened before and I don't know what's causing it. I read in the forum that there were several other Equinox's with the same problem. I think it should be a recall.
The car will not start, the battery was tested to be good. The fan will run after the vehicle is turned off. Which in turn drains the battery. Would have to jump start the car. This would work for a few days and have to jump start it again. The mechanic do not understand and will have to see it happen again to understand the problem. All systems show no error messages. This has to an electrical problem with the fan and battery.
Currently my vehicle will not start. It seems that the battery is fine as all of the electronics in the vehicle are working, including radio/door locks. 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.
