Recalls and investigations
Power train, automatic transmissionJun 30, 2004
CERTAIN SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES FAIL TO CONFORM TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 114, 'THEFT PROTECTION.' AN IGNITION KEY PARK LOCK CABLE END FITTING WAS NOT FULLY SEATED ON THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SHIFTER NAIL HEAD DURING INSTALLATION.
THIS CAN PREVENT THE CABLE AUTO-SET FROM CORRECTLY ADJUSTING THE CABLE. AN INCORRECTLY ADJUSTED CABLE PREVENTS THE SHIFTER FROM LOCKING IN THE 'PARK' POSITION WHEN THE KEY IS REMOVED FROM THE KEY CYLINDER.
DEALERS WILL INSPECT FOR A PROPERLY FUNCTIONING SHIFT LOCK WHEN THE IGNITION KEY IS REMOVED. DEALERS WILL REPAIR VEHICLES THAT EXHIBIT THE SUBJECT CONDITION. THE RECALL BEGAN AUGUST 17, 2004. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT CHEVROLET AT 1-800-630-2438.

THIS IS MY SECOND TIME REPORTING A COMPLAINT ABOUT OUR 2005 EQUINOX. THE ABS AND TC, TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS ARE COMING ON AND OUR ANTI LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM IS ENGAGING IN AND OUT, AND THEN DISENGAGING TOTALLY LEAVING US WITH NO ANTI LOCK BRAKES.WE HAD NEW BRAKES AND ROTORS PUT ON IN OCT OF 2013, PLUS A BATTERY. MY HUSBAND HAS A PA. STATE INSPECTION MECHANICS LICENSE. SO HE WENT TO THE GARAGE TO CHECK THE BRAKES ALONG WITH ANOTHER STATE INSPECTION MECHANIC. THEY TOOK THE WHEELS OFF AND THE FRONT HUBS FOR THE ABS ARE BAD THIS VEHICLE ONLY HAS 34,790 MILES ON IT TO DATE. PLUS THIS WILL BE THE 5TH SET OF FRONT BRAKES AND ROTORS THAT HAVE TO BE REPLACED AGAIN.. AND NOW, THE ABS SYSTEM, OR HUBS. WHAT EVER IS FOUND WHEN IT GETS TAKEN APART. " NICE " HERE WE GO AGAIN !!! *TR

WHEN THE CAR IS IN PARK AND KEYS ARE OUT OF THE IGNITION THE CAR STILL THINKS THE KEY IS IN THE IGNITION OR THE CAR DOES NOT RECOGNIZE IT IS IN PARK. *TR THE CAR IS IN PARK AND KEY IS OUT OF IGNITION, YOU CAN STILL MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL WITHOUT THE WHEEL LOCKING AND THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR LOCK DOES NOT LOCK WHEN THIS IS HAPPENING. SOMETIME THE STEERING WHEEL WILL LOCK AND THAT IS WHEN THE DOOR LOCK WORKS AGAIN. MOST OF THE TIME THE STEERING WHILE DOES NOT LOCK WHEN IN PARK OR IGNITION IS TURNED OFF. THIS IS A SCARY ISSUES WITH ALL CURRENT RECALLS OF KEY LOCKS AND POSSIBLY NOT THE CAR DOES NOT KNOW THE VEHICLE IS OFF AND LOCKS ARE NOT WORKING. THANK YOU! *TR

THE IGNITION SWITCH IN THIS VEHICLE IS DEFECTIVE. THE KEY MAY BE REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION AT ANY TIME, EVEN IF THE CAR IS RUNNING. THE IGNITION SWITCH MAY LOCK AT ANY TIME SO THAT THE CAR MAY NOT BE STARTED. THE IGNITION SWITCH DAMAGES THE CAR KEY CAUSING THE CYLINDER TO BE FILLED WITH METAL SHAVINGS. THIS IS AN ONGOING, WELL KNOWN PROBLEM. GM'S ANSWER IS TO CLEAN AND LUBRICATE THE IGNITION CYLINDER. THIS DOES NOT REMEDY THE PROBLEM. *TR

SO, I MADE A MARK ON THE IGNITION WHERE TO TURN THE KEY OFF SO I CAN START IT THE NEXT TIME.THE VEHICLE'S BOTH REMOTES DO NOT WORK. I PAID $65.00 FOR A NEW ONE AT THE DEALERSHIP AND NOW IT DOES NOT WORK ALL THE TIME. I LOCK THE DOORS THEN, THEY WON'T OPEN WE HAVE TO USE THE KEY AND HURRY UP TO START THE VEHICLE BEFORE THE ALARM GOES OFF.I TO HAD TO REPLACE THE BATTERY, BUT I CHALK THAT UP TO AGE, ALSO 4 SETS OF FRONT BRAKES AND ROTORS, 4 SETS OF TIRES AND MY VEHICLE ONLY HAS 34,400 MILES ON IT. BEING A PA. STATE INSPECTION MECHANIE I CONCURR THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE INGNITION SWITCH AND IN MY OPINION A POSSIBLE DEFECT IN THE FRONT BRAKING SYSTEM.I HOPE GM LOOKS INTO THE PROBLEM ...UPDATED 06/09/14 *BF UPDATED 06/11/2014 *JS

KEY DOES NOT STAY IN THE IGNITION WHILE THE SUV IS IN DRIVE OR BEING DRIVEN AND ALSO WHILE IT IS IN PARK, THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE, IN WHICH I'VE COMPLAINED TO GM. UPON CONTACTING GM CUSTOMER SERVICE TO DETERMINE IF MY VEHICLE WAS APART OF THE RECALL FOR FAULTY IGNITION SWITCHES, I WAS INFORMED THAT I WOULD HAVE TO COVER THE COST TO HAVE REPAIRED SINCE THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY. *TR
Electrical system, May 20, 2014
IGNITION SWITCH HAS PROBLEMS - THE KEY WILL NOT GO IN AT ALL, OR PARTIALLY GOES IN AND GETS STUCK, GOES IN FULLY AND GETS STUCK, OR COMES OUT WHILE THE ENGINE IS STILL RUNNING. CURRENTLY THE KEY WILL NOT GO IN RENDERING THE CAR TOTALLY INOPERABLE. THE CAR IS HARD TO START AT TIMES - IT TAKES SEVERAL TRIES TO GET IT TO TURN OVER, EVEN THOUGH I HAVE REGULAR MAINTENANCE DONE. THE HEADLIGHTS MAY OR MAY NOT GO TO HIGH BEAM AND THE DASH LIGHTS MAY OR MAY NOT TURN ON AT ALL. THERE IS CONSTANT FLUCTUATION. DUE TO THE COUNTLESS COMPLAINTS I HAVE READ WITH REGARD TO THE SAME PROBLEMS I BELIEVE THAT THIS FACT ALONE SHOULD MANDATE AN INSTANT RECALL. I AM DISABLED AND THIS IS MY ONLY MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION TO MY DOCTORS FOR FREQUENT TREATMENTS THE COST TO REPAIR MY VEHICLE IS NOT WITHIN MY REACH. *TR

EXPERIENCED ABS BRAKES KICKING IN AT VERY LOW SPEEDS (10 MILES OR LESS). BROUGHT INTO DEALER WHO REPLACED FRONT TWO WHEEL SENSORS. WORKED FINE FOR 2 MONTHS AND IT STARTED TO HAPPEN AGAIN. ONLY THIS TIME, THE TRUCK WAS NOT STOPPING SUDDENLY AND ALMOST CAUSED NUMEROUS ACCIDENTS. BROUGHT INTO DEALER A SECOND TIME WHO HAD THE TRUCK FOR 3 DAYS ONLY TO TELL ME THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG. I BROUGHT THE TRUCK TO ANOTHER MECHANIC WHO REPLACED MY FRONT DRIVERS SIDE WHEEL BEARING. DROVE HOME FROM THERE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. TRUCK WAS BROUGHT TO A 3RD AND 4TH MECHANIC WHO BOTH ADMITTED THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM BUT NOTHING WAS BEING IDENTIFIED WHEN SCANNED. CALLED CHEVY WHO CONTACTED THE ORIGINAL DEALER. WE PLAYED PHONE TAG FOR SEVERAL DAYS WITH NO FINAL RESPONSE. THE TRUCK HAS NOT BEEN DRIVEN FOR 2 MONTHS AS I'M CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY AND OTHERS AFTER MANY NEAR MISSES. WAS EVEN PULLED OVER BY AN OFFICER WHO ESCORTED ME HOME. I CANT CONTINUE TO DUMP MONEY INTO THIS VEHICLE THAT IS ALMOST 10 YEARS OLD. I ALSO CANT UNDERSTAND WHY THIS HAS NOT BEEN INVESTIGATED WHEN THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME THING THROUGH YOUR WEBSITE AND A NUMBER OF OTHERS. LITERALLY THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS. FUNNY THOUGH THAT THE RECENT MALIBU RECALL IS HAVING SOMEWHAT SIMILAR ISSUES AS I STARTED TO LOSE MY TAILLIGHTS ON A REGULAR BASIS AT THE SAME TIME THE ABS SYSTEM STARTED ACTING UP. COULD JUST BE A COINCIDENCE BUT SHOULD STILL BE INVESTIGATED JUST BASED ON THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS AND THE TRIAL AND ERROR FIXES WE ARE ALL RECEIVING. *TR

THE KEY CAN BE REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION WHILE THE CAR IS RUNNING, THE HEADLIGHTS ONLY WORK ON HIGHBEAM, THE BRAKE LIGHTS DO NOT WORK EXCEPT FOR THE SMALL ONE IN THE MIDDLE. THE CAR WILL CONTINUE TO TRY TO START EVEN AFTER THE KEY IS REMOVED. THE CAR CURRENTLY RUNS HOT SO THE FAN RUNS CONSTANTLY AND RUNS THE BATTERY DOWN. I HAVE PARKED THE CAR AND WONT DRIVE BECAUSE OF THE SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

I HAD TO HAVE MY BATTERY REPLACED TODAY. MY BATTERY HAD TO BE REPLACED DUE TO THE IGNITION SWITCH THAT IS NOT COMPLETELY TURNED OFF WHEN I PUT THE CAR IN PARK. FOR A YEAR OR SO I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DRIVE DOWN THE ROAD AND MY CARS KEY HAS BEEN REMOVABLE FROM THE IGNITION SWITCH. I HAVE ASKED ABOUT THE IGNITION SWITCH BEFORE TO MY DEALERSHIP OVER THE YEARS WITH NO RESOLVE. SINCE THE RECALL OF OTHER GM MODELS DURING THE SAME YEAR MY CAR WAS MADE RECENTLY I HAVE READ OVER THESE ISSUES AND MY EQUINOX IS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. I DO NOT HAVE TO PUT MY CAR IN PARK FOR THE KEY TO BE TAKEN OUT OF THE IGNITION SWITCH. NOW MY BATTERY IS BEING COMPROMISED DUE TO IT NOT COMPLETELY BEING ABLE TO SHUT OFF. *TR
