Chevrolet Equinox Steering Safety Report | Mar 03, 2014
Reported on Mar 03, 2014
| WHILE MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN, THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED, ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. I HAD TO SLAM ON THE BRAKES AND FIDDLE WITH THE STEERING WHEEL UNTIL IT FINALLY UNLOCKED AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR HOME. WHEN I ARRIVED HOME AND TOOK THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION, I NOTICED IT WAS BENT. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED MALOUF CHEVROLET WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR, TOOK IT IN THE NEXT DAY FOR SERVICE, THEY CLAIMED THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. I DID HAVE TO PURCHASE A NEW KEY IN WHICH I WAS CHARGED $80.72. THEN MONDAY NIGHT 3/10/14, I WENT SHOPPING, RETURNED TO MY VEHICLE, INSERTED MY KEY AND COULD NOT TURN THE CAR ON, IT WAS LOCKED UP AGAIN. I HAVE AN AUTO START ON MY VEHICLE WHICH I USED AND THEN WAS ABLE TO TURN THE KEY IN THE IGNITION. | |
