general problems of the 2007 Chevrolet Equinox - part 2

About a year and a half ago, my power steering went out on my Equinox. I haven't had any accident due to this but I find it weird that the recall of the gm automobiles have the same defects and problems as mines. Ive also had problems with my engine as well when the stibilitrac like came on. I took it to chevy but the didn't have the part and they said the would order it. I never heard anything else from them. Please advise me on what to do because if its a defect. I need to go get it fix. Im still having the problem.

Sometimes when you park the keys will not come out of the ignition. You have to keep starting the vehicle, turning the steering wheel back and forth, or slamming the shifter into park it happens about 12 times per week! 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.

I got into my car after grocery shopping. I started the car, put the car in reverse and tried to turn. My car was very difficult to turn, so I checked my rpms to make sure my car was actually started. The space in front of me was empty, so I pulled forward and tried to turn again. My car wouldn't turn at all, so I called my husband and he came and drove my car home. We live only a few miles from the store and there is only one turn. He said it took all of his strength to turn into our neighborhood. We had the fuse tested and it is not the fuse.

2007 Equinox Chevrolet - the ignition has been locking up and key could not be removed. Dealership has replaced ignition three times and it still locked up. Today the wheel is locked, the gear shift is locked up and nothing will move. They are sending a tow truck to haul it into the shop again. My complaint is not the dealership it is Chevrolet. The internet lists thousands of Equinox's with the same issue and a recall should have been done to pull these in and fix the issue once and for all at no cost to the consumer. I think it is time for a class action suit against Chevrolet. My issue has been ongoing for since this past winter.

At least 10 times over the course of the past year , the key would not turn the ignition and sometimes the key gets stuck. After numerous attempts of jiggling the key and trying to move the stearing wheel (which seems to be locked when this happens) I get the key to turn. I just took it to the dealer two months ago and they said everything was working as normal. If this is normal, what is abnormal? this happened to my sister's aveo and they replaced her ignition, but her key still gets stuck sometimes.

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.

I was driving my 2007 chevy Equinox, and I lost my steering. I had to fix the problem, I could not drive the vehicle. I had the same problem as the chevy cobalt is having now. I contacted gm for some assistance, and they did nothing. I want you to know that the chevy cobalt might not be the only vehicle that has this problem. Luckily for me, I did not have a accident, or any other issues listed below.

The contact owns a 2007 Chevrolet Equinox. While driving 65 mph, the contact experienced difficulty steering. He returned the vehicle to the dealer at approximately 1,500 miles, and they replaced a rear tire for a thumping issue that was heard while driving at low speeds. After the visit to the dealer, the low speed driving improved; however, the highway speed driving did not. The contact returned to the dealer the following day because the thumping noise recurred while driving at low speeds. The highway speed failure continued, but improved only slightly. The purchase date was unknown. The current mileage was 5,000 and failure mileage was 36. Updated 02-14-08.

Purchased vehicle in sept 07 and started noticing a knocking noise from the front end of the vehicle at about 2000 miles. The noise would occur during slow reverse, slow forward, and turning at slow speeds at intermittent times. We have taken the vehicle to three different dealers and they have all stated that they could not hear the noise. I am currently at 21,000 miles and we still hear the noise and we can not find anyone willing to perform the proper check on the vehicle to locate the cause.

The second day we owned the car, I started it, put it in drive and had no power steering. The car dealership said that nothing showed up on the car's computer. It has happened intermittently for 6 years. When it happens, I shut the car off and re-start it and the power steering works.
