Starter Problems of Chevrolet Equinox

Bought the car used in April 2014. In April 2015 had to have the timing chain replaced. In July 2015 had to have the rings, pistons, and cylinder head replaced. Now in February 2016 I have had the to replace the battery, and the starter and it still won't start.

Car failed to start after a hard overnight rain storm the night before, then started after a 15 minute wait for the aaa. It has not occurred since. I am concerned about a loss of power while driving. Repeatedly turned key to start position, but no power to the starter. Had obd 2 diagnostic but not codes found, just wait to see if happens again.

First while driving at approx 25 mph I hit my key ring and the keys fell out. The car continue to run I just put the keys back in to the ignition when I came to a stop. I have since found that you can start the car and then remove the key and all continue to run and work. Also found that when I went to start the car the other day, once I turned the key to start it would kept running the starter. Let me explain a little better, when I turned the key to start the car and then let go the car starter continue to run until I moved the key to the off postion.

Received vehicle upon my mothers passing. Had 45k on it, garaged and only in town driving. In just over year I have had to replace rear rocker joint, ac unit, front right speaker, front brakes and starter. Now, there is a water noise under hood and truck is starting to rock when at stop light. It is also trying to run hot but no lights, leaks or issue can be found. The back spoiler was loose http before then and leaks in the back. Lift gate hard to open and moulding around front windshield is coming loose. I have 65k on this truck. There is no way this truck should have this many problems. I feel unsafe in this lightly used auto.

There is a harsh smell of fuel coming from somewhere in the fuel tank area. There is no fuel leaks to be found. When starting the vehicle, the starter seems to stay engaged for a few seconds.

My 2006 chevy Equinox has now had three separate incidences of spontaneous engine turn over. The first was in may of 2012, next in April 2013, followed by August 2013. On each occasion; the car was parked and locked at the time that it spontaneously started. With each event I had to put the key in the ignition, put the car in reverse, move it a couple feet, followed by shifting to drive and moving forward. It was only then that I was then able return the car to park and turn off the engine. My car is not equipped with a remote starter kit, and never had one in the past. I have no idea why the car started on it's own, and certainly consider this to be a safety issue.

My 2006 Equinox initially began having start up issues where the starter would crank and the engine would idle roughly and then die. It would take several attempts to start. Then I figured out if I gave it gas when I started it up it would have a better chance of starting. Sometimes it worked. Then the issue went away for a while and came back with a new issue. The new issue is sometimes the car wouldn't start at all. The starter would click but would not start. It would do this several times and then it would start like nothing was wrong. This happens intermittently. It does not discriminate on location, time of day etc.

The center console (where the controls are for the radio, heater/ac, defroster, hazards, door locks, etc. ) intermittently goes on and off, and locks up unexpectedly. It first occurred on 1 Dec 09, again on 2 Jan 10, and several times since. Vehicle examined by landers-mclarty Chevrolet in huntsville al, they witnessed problem but could not fix or remedy. They opened a technical case #11124962, and gm opened case #71-790900576. No fix to date, although they promise that a solution is being worked. Several safety issues are presented by the console?s erratic operation (sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't). It is winter now, and when the console is out, the heater, defroster, door locks, hazard lights and on-board warning system (via the menu button) do not work. Starting and shutting the engine off 20-plus times (dealers recommended temp fix to re-set system) does not seem like a viable solution, and it certainly presents added stress on the starter and causes excessive engine wear in cold temperatures.

Several times I go to start my Equinox, and it won't start. It seems as if it over starts then shuts back off, then I have to push onto the gas for the vehicle to start most of the time but sometimes it has to sit for a minute for it to even be tried again. I have called around and has this issue looked at but no one seems to know what the issue is, Chevrolet says when it shuts off it's so that the starter doesn't burn up over time, and that's as far as it's gone.

2008 chevy Equinox - purchased may 2008. Nine (9) of the last eleven (11) months, the car has been in the shop for various warning lights; service battery charging system, service tire pressure monitoring system", & "service stabilitrak"on several occasions each. Each time, I was told that a module relay was replaced. They also eventually gave us a new battery and changed the starter. Now, the check engine light is lit up, and the "service stabilitrak" light is coming back on. The rear wiper will make a single sweep even when in the off position and the radio will start searching for a station even with a strong signal from an area station. If I have the cruise control on, the cd's will skip songs or restart itself. Most times, I am told that the issue needs to be happening when I bring it in. Unfortunately, it usually happens when on the highway or after hours. Therefore, nothing is done to correct the constant problems. I really feel like I purchased a lemon and even gave my dealer a copy of the texas lemon law, I do not feel comfortable taking even short length road trips for fear my car will fail to run properly. I feel as though I am stuck paying for a "lemon" car for four more years.

Upon starting the vehicle, it makes a rumbling and literally moves under the hood as if it won't start, but it does. It has an affect of a straight drive when starting the vehicle while it's in gear.
