“The electronic power steering went out briefly. I managed to get to the side of the road and shut the care off and restarted it and then it seemed to work just fine. It has happened a couple of other times but I was lucky enough to be in a parking lot. I have never seen any recalls on this but I have noticed alot of complaints.”
NHTSA complaint #10667118, filed 2014-12, 75,658 miles“I was leaving my driveway and my electric power steering quit working. I ended up in the other lane because my car wouldn't turn. Luckily there was no one else using that lane at the time. Now I see a recall in the news in which GM says they want to get all vehicles that could be effected, but they don't include the Equinox.?”
NHTSA complaint #10576366, filed 2014-04, 95,000 miles“The power steering computer modular failed on 3/26/13. There was no warning or recall for this problem. This was unexpected and caused me a great deal of stressed. I had to spend a lot of money to fix the problem. This vehicle alerts me on everything else, such as low gas, change oil, etc...yet it do not alert me of a major problem?”
NHTSA complaint #10505355, filed 2013-04, 92,000 miles“I almost got killed when power steering stopped working all of a sudden. No warning at all. I was on my way home from shopping. Good thing this happened to me and not my wife she would not have been able to control the Equinox.”
NHTSA complaint #11056225, filed 2017-12, 72,000 miles“When I put my vehicle in park and try to turn off my car, the key gets stuck in the ignition more often than not. I then have to turn it on, back up, pull forward, and turn it off again to see if it will let me take the key out. Sometimes I have to do this 5-6 times!”
