So far nothing has happened when this occurs but I am petrified that the car will shut off which will lock up the steering, etc. ![]() I discovered this when I accidentally knocked the key out (fortunately directly into my hand so I was able to reinsert it quickly.) I have to replace keys about 2 years because they always wear out. This has been happening since the car was about 2 years old. This is not the first time for the brakes its been happening for years and its on going.I can pull the ignition key for my 2005 out of the ignition or it can fall out while the car is driving down the road. Thank you !!!!! if I have too, I will make a video on this, as I did the ignition switch and send it in. Finally after 3 years, I now got a new ignition and 2 new keys. In the end, these vehicles should be recalled and the entire abs system should be completely re-examined and repaired. I was going to buy a 2015 Equinox, but was torn away by the delays of Chevrolet on these problems. Every 3000 miles the oil and tires are rotated, and everything else is inspection by me. I take exceptionally good care of my vehicles. There is only 38,300 miles on this vehicle now and it looks like new. Surely by now the rear brakes should have been replaced a few times. All my stopping power is on the front brakes. This tells me that the brake distribution equalizer is not working. The joke of it all is that the rear brakes are still the original brakes and stand at the last inspection at 8/32. I have replaced the front rotors and brakes 4 times now, and probably will have to replace them again in August of this year, 2015 when my state inspection will be due. I've never seen such a poor brake system in my life. And I am a PA certified inspection mechanic. ![]() No matter what I do, it still causes problem. I've tried to clean it many times to no avail. The wiring harness clip on the end where it connects to the hub is shot. The electrical harness keeps falling off do the metal clip it hooks onto rusting. The abs and traction control light came on. The right front wheel brake began to lock up causing the vehicle to pull to the right. This was told and sent in written form to us from a reputable insurance agency. The car is not able to be driven and when searching for cheaper insurance (byvin) we were immediately, under no uncertain terms alerted that the car was unfit to be insured. To date, the car is not able to reverse from parking position, and has a new issue of locking up totally and not able to engage forward. At the initial purchase of the car the only seemingly harmless thing to mind was the sticking of the ignition switch at times. ) were malfunctioning, including the radio. Previously before these problems arose, the apparent issue of the electrical system and its functioning parts(power doors, windows etc. ![]() It seemed to make an awful grinding noise when making right turns but not left turns. This occurred after carefully observing the troublesome behavior of the turning capabilities and suspension of the tires. In testing the vehicles ability to travel to a repair center the brake peddle would drop to the floor as if it lost compression. A loud pop occurred during operation of the vehicle at appproximately 40 mph and then a noticeable change in the suspension was felt.
