Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2005 CHEVROLET EQUINOX LT WITH THE VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER (VIN) [XXX], WITH A PRODUCTION OF APRIL 2005. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE NEW IN 2005, AT APPROXIMATELY 30,000 MILES I STARTED HAVING DIFFICULTIES WITH THE IGNITION SWITCH OPERATION, AND THE KEY WAS HARD TO TURN IN THE CYLINDER. I THEN SWITCHED TO THE SPARE KEY THAT CAME WITH THE VEHICLE FROM PURCHASE.AT 60,000 MILES I STARTED HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. AT 98,000 I STARTED TO HAVE THE SAME ISSUE AGAIN. I HAD MY LOCAL DEALER CUT TWO NEW KEYS; I AM NOW ON MY THIRD NEW KEY. I HAVE ALSO NOTICED THAT WHEN I TAKE THE KEY IS OUT THERE IS NOT KIND OF LOCK. *TR
