2005 Chevrolet Equinox

DRIVING ON SMOOTH ROAD AT ABOUT 60 MPH WHEN THE IGNITION KEY FELL OUT OF THE IGNITION SWITCH ONTO THE CAR FLOOR. THE SWITCH WAS STILL IN THE RUN POSITION AND I WAS ABLE TO REINSERT THE KEY INTO THE SWITCH. THE ENGINE DID NOT STOP AND THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE. CURRENT MILEAGE IS 73500. I NOTICED I CAN MANUALLY PULL THE KEY FROM THE SWITCH AT ANYTIME. I HAVE NOT TRIED TO MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL WHILE MOVING TO SEE IF IT WILL LOCK WHEN THE KEY IS OUT AND THE SWITCH IS IN THE RUN POSITION. IT DOES NOT LOCK WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY AND THE SWITCH IS IN THE RUN POSITION WITH THE KEY OUT. I HAD THE CAR INTO THE DEALER FOR A BRAKE ISSUE AND IN A FOLLOW UP PHONE CALL BROUGHT THE KEY ISSUE TO THE SERVICE WRITERS ATTENTION. SHE SAID TO HAVE A NEW KEY MADE BY THE DEALER USING THE VEHICLE VIN. I DID NOT DO THIS YET. I HAVE THREE KEYS MADE BY LOCAL HARDWARE STORES ALL WITH THE SAME RESULT. *TR

KEY KEEPS GETTING STUCK IN THE IGNITION WHEN TRYING TO REMOVE THE KEY, AFTER MONTHS OF THIS AND COMPLAINING BOUT IT TO CARMAX AND THEM NOT FINDING A "PROBLEM" THE KEY WOULD NO LONGER WORK, TURN IN THE IGNITION. NOW THE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED AND I HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR THE REPAIR. THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH MANY CHEVY EQUIONXES FROM 2005-2010. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH OVER A SPEED BUMP, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND THE BRAKES BEGAN TO PULSATE WITH THE ILLUMINATION OF THE ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL WARNING INDICATORS. THE VEHICLE FAILED TO SLOW DOWN AFTER REPEATEDLY APPLYING THE BRAKES. THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS ENGAGED IN ORDER FOR THE VEHICLE TO STOP. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO RESUME NORMALLY AND HAD BEEN TAKEN TO FOUR INDEPENDENT MECHANICS FOR DIAGNOSIS, ALL OF WHICH WERE UNABLE TO LOCATE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE FRONT BRAKES, ABS SENSORS AND ABS MODULE WERE REPLACED. THE PROBLEM PERSISTED AFTER THE REPAIR WAS PERFORMED. MOST RECENTLY, A TECHNICIAN INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT PROBLEM COULD POSSIBLY BE CAUSED BY AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 92,000.

CAME OUT OF GAS STATION AND TRIED TO UNLOCK TRUCK WITH KEYLESS SYSTEM . NOTHING . HAD TO USE KEY TO GET IN . PUT KEY IN IGNITION TO TURN ON AND BING BING BING NOTHING . NO ELECTRONICS WORK TRUCK DOESN'T DO ANYTHING . *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WHEN ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE, THE KEY WOULD BECOME RESISTANT TO BEING INSERTED INTO THE IGNITION. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD THAT THE IGNITION SWITCH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MECHANIC ALSO STATED THAT THEY FELT THE FAILURE WAS RELATED TO NHTSA RECALL CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 04V302 (POWER TRAIN). THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL CAMPAIGN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 166,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 167,000. *TR

MY REMOTE WOULD NOT LOCK THE DOORS. REPLACED BATTERIES. IT WOULD LOCK AND UNLOCK ONCE. THEN NOTHING. FUSE BLOWN. REPLACE FUSE. WORK ONCE, BLOW FUSE.

HOW DOES THAT HAPPEN. $685 TO FIX.... NEXT HUGE ISSUE: DRIVING DOWN ROAD.. FRONT END GONE???? STRUTS, LINKS...$1100 CAR WON'T START ...HAVE TO GIVE IT GAS, SEEN A LOT OF THESE WITH NO IDEA WHAT'S WRONG. WELL DEALERSHIP SAYS ITS FUEL PRESSURE SENDING UNIT, BAD INJECTORS... GRAND TOTAL TO FIX $2000.. IN WHAT WORLD SHOULD A VEHICLE THAT DOES NOT EVEN 100K MILES ON IT HAVE SO MANY COSTLY FIXES......I LOOKED ON HERE TO SEE IF ANYONE ELSE IS HAVING THE STARTING ISSUE.. SEEMS TO BE A LOT OF PEOPLE. *TR
