general problems of the 2007 Chevrolet Equinox

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.

Transmission went bad at 100 thousand miles been in the shop for 8 weeks now. Shop manager says they are having a hard time finding parts for the transmission.

I lost power steering in my car. I had no warning to indicate there was a problem. I was driving and it went out. This is very dangerous and I could have crashed. There needs to be a recall on this, my power steering module failed. I had to replace it which was very costly. I have read that there has been numerous complaints on this year and model with the same issue.

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 finaly 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 cuttting 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.

After parking car and turning key to turn off engine I can't get the key out the car. Issue happens a few times a week and sometimes happens all day. Sometimes you have to sit and wait or restart car and drive around and then park to get key out. I have seen the issue reported on multiple sites and forums yet gm still hasn't issued a recall.

Ignition key will not come out once the car is turned off and put into park. I have read numerous complaints concerning this problem and no-one can tell if this happens because of the key cylinder or because of gear shift not properly going into park.

I been smelling gas for over a week outside then inside of car. Was told I can drive and bring to dealership ASAP as long as there is no leaks. I took car to the dealer in jenkintown,PA and was told there was a leak from fuel pump line to engine. I notice several customers have the same problem since 2010 and now it's 2012. Why haven't this been on a recall due to it can be very dangerous with a gas leak when a customer smells gas but don't see a leak. Customers can think maybe gas spilled a little on car but when you smell gas when you are driving, there is an issue. I know customers like myself had paid for this service which should have been a recall. I had to pay $949 for part and labor which is totally unfair when I'm not the only one with this issue. I will report to consumer report regarding 2007 chevy Equinox with all the issues I had from getting a transmission to now gas leak. Very very dangerous!.

I purchase the 2007 Equinox used from day one I have had problems the first one was the car would slow down on its on and when I speeded up it would slow down then it wouldn't start I replaced the battery and now the same thing it will not start, there is a noise that I hear when I drive like something is lose, the back windshield wiper works and not works the passenger seat beat light keeps coming on I will never buy another Chevrolet product.

2007 chevy Equinox turned off automatically while driving on the hwy, then when pressing on the gas, would kick back on, but then turn off again. I had to coast to the side of the road, wait for about 10 mins, then it started again. This time engine light came on, and I was able to make it home. Turned it into the mckinney chevy dealership on 4/11/09 and found out that oxygen sensor went out and needed to be replaced. Mileage on car is only 44,352 and I have only had the car for about 6 months! I continue to have problems over and over again with vehicle turning off while I'm driving. It's 4/18/09 today and it's doing it again. I'll have to turn vehicle back into dealership again on Monday. This vehicle is extremely unsafe! I am stuck in this vehicle financially and texas lemon law does not protect me! I don't know what to do and am !@#$% that I'm stuck with a !@#$% near brand new car and continue to deal with taking it in for repairs!!! from what I read on the internet through other complaint sites, many consumers are having issues with their chevy vehicles turning off while driving!! this is not only a safety issue for the consumer driving the car, but also anyone else on the road near these kinds of vehicles. Something must be done or someone is going to die due to this issue!!!!!!!!!.
