I HAVE PAID TO FIX LEAK FROM SUNROOF THAT IS ALSO A COMMON ISSUE....RECALL DID FIX FAULTY FUEL LEAK. HELP PLEASE!

ADDITIONALLY, FUEL WAS SEEN LEAKING FROM THE VEHICLE ONTO THE GROUND, AND THE CHECK ENGINE, STABILITY TRACK, AND BRAKE INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER (WHITNEY'S CHEVROLET, 123 PIONEER AVE W, MONTESANO, WA 98563, (360) 249-4431) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS A HAIRLINE CRACK IN THE FUEL TANK AND A CRACK ON THE FUEL MODULE.

FUEL PUMP FUEL LEAK, VISIBLE LEAK (SPRAYING) ONTO TOP OF TANK WHEN PUMP IS PRESSURIZED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2007 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO A CONCRETE EMBANKMENT TO AVOID COLLIDING WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE AIR BAG FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED INJURIES TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER AND LEFT ARM THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND TOWED TO A TOW LOT. THE CONTACT CALLED ALLEN TILLERY AUTO (LOCATED AT 4573 CENTRAL AVE, HOT SPRING, AR 71913, (501) 881-4160) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE AIR BAG SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED SINCE IT WAS JUST INSTALLED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 135,000.

I PURCHASED A 2007 CHEVY EQUINOX FROM A PRIVATE PARTY BACK IN JANUARY BUT DUE TO A MIX-UP WITH THE TITLE AND THE PREVIOUS OWNER I COULD NOT TITLE THE CAR AND START DRIVING IT UNTIL MARCH. I'VE NOTICED LATELY A STRONG SMELL OF GAS AND A VERY LOUD CLUNKING NOISE FROM THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT WHEEL. I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL SHOP IN MY TOWN AND WAS TOLD I HAD A GAS LEAK AT THE TOP OF THE TANK AND THAT THE SWAY BAR LINKAGE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED . IN DOING MY RESEARCH I FOUND THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE FUEL LEAK ON THE 2007 EQUINOXES AND THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE SWAY BAR LINKAGE GOING BAD AND THE SERVICE STABLE TRACK LIGHT CONSTANTLY STAYING ON. I ALSO HAVE THE PROBLEM STATING ALL WHEEL DRIVE OFF FLASHING ON MY SCREEN. I FOUND THAT MANY PEOPLE PUT THEIR VIN NUMBERS IN THE SEARCH WINDOW AND FOUND THEIRS NOT TO BE PART OF THE RECALL BUT I'M WONDERING WHY IF MORE THAN JUST THE PREVIOUS RECALLED VEHICLES ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WOULDN'T THEY WANT ANOTHER RECALL ISSUED FOR THE ONES THAT HAVEN'T BEEN REPAIRED. I JUST TOOK IT TO A GM DEALER TODAY IN MY HOMETOWN AND THEY WANT OVER $1,400 TO FIX JUST THE FUEL LEAKAGE PROBLEM I NEED TO KNOW WHAT GM IS GOING TO DO ABOUT IT. I DON'T HAVE 1400 EXTRA DOLLARS TO FIX THIS GAS LEAK AND I'M SCARED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE FOR FEAR OF IT STARTING ON FIRE.

CAR SMELLS OF GASOLINE AND HAS TROUBLE STARTING ON THE FIRST ATTEMPT. CAR WILL START ON SECOND ATTEMPT BUT HAS A VERY STRONG GAS ODOR. AFTER TAKING IT TO A LOCAL MECHANIC, THE CAR WAS DIAGNOSED AS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND IS CONFIRMED TO BE LEAKING GASOLINE. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS EXACT MAKE AND MODEL BUT IS LISTED AS ONLY IMPACTING CERTAIN STATES (ARIZONA, CALIFORNIA, NEVADA, TEXAS) BUT I'M IN NEW JERSEY AND HAVE SEEN IT ALSO REPORTED IN OHIO, SOUTH CAROLINA AND NEW YORK. THIS RECALL NEEDS TO BE EXPANDED AND CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS!!!

THE CAR BEGAN TO SMELL OF GAS AFTER RUNNING AND STARTED TO CUT OUT. TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC AND THEY REPORT A CRACK IN THE FUEL PUMP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. WHILE PULLING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT HAD TO APPLY EXTREME FORCE TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. THE VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO BE DRIVEN DUE TO THE FAILURE AND WAS TOWED TO FINDLAY CHEVROLET BUICK GMC (2565 LAUGHLIN VIEW DR, BULLHEAD CITY, AZ 86429, (928) 754-3400) FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING AND REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

THE FRONT SEAT PASSENGER AIR BAG WILL NOT COME ON WHEN SOMEONE SITS IN THE SEAT. I GET A SERVICE AIR BAG SYSTEM ON THE DRIVER INFO CENTER. TOOK TO DEALER WAS TOLD COMPUTER SHOWS CODES B0081 AND B0074. WAS TOLD PASSENGER PRESENCE SYSTEM, NAMELY THE SEAT SENSOR WAS BAD AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. REPAIR ESTIMATED AT $1100.00. THIS IS A COMMON COMPLAINT IN GM VEHICLES. THE VEHICLE IS DESIGNED TO HAVE THE AIRBAG DEPLOY DURING A COLLISION CONSIDERING THE USE OF SAFETY BELTS AND DEFORMATION OF THE VEHICLE'S STRUCTURE. SERVICE AIR BAG SYSTEM WARNING LIGHT COMES ON AND STAYS ON WHEN EVER THE IGNITION IS TURNED TO THE ON POSITION. IT DOES NOT MATTER IF ANYONE OR ANYTHING IS IN/ON THE SEAT, OR IF VEHICLE IS STANDING STILL OR IN MOTION.

CAR SLOWS DOWN , BRAKES LOCK UP AND GET REAL HARD, CAR WANT MOVE. TRY TO PUT IT IN DRIVE, BRAKES TO HARD , WANT MOVE AT ALL. LET IT SET FOR 35 MIN. THEN CAR WILL MOVE. VERY DANGEROUS, WHEN CAR SLOW DOWN AND JUST STOP, SOMEONE ALMOST HIT ME

AT 100,000 MILES, THE PASSENGER AIRBAG SENSOR FAILED AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO INDICATE THAT THE AIRBAG WAS NOT ACTIVE, EVEN WHEN A PASSENGER WAS IN THE FRONT, PASSENGER SEAT. I TOOK IT TO THE AUTHORIZED DEALER AND REFERENCED # 07V344000 RECALL BUT WAS TOLD THAT MY VIN DID NOT FALL WITHIN THE RECALL, DESPITE THE SIMILARITY OF THE ISSUES INVOLVED.

THE CONTACT WAS UNCERTAIN IF THERE WAS A PERMANENT REMEDY TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC STATED THAT THE ABS WOULD NEED TO BE FURTHER INSPECTED AND THAT THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER MAY NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER SUGGESTED THAT THE VEHICLE BE TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING AND REPAIR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN AND FAILURE MILEAGE WERE NOT AVAILABLE. *TT CONSUMER STATED BRAKES LOCK UP CAR COME TO A COMPLETE STOP STABLITY TRACTION CONTROL, LIGHT COMES ON, TRY TO PUT CAR IN DRIVE WON'T MOVE AT ALL, BRAKE PEDAL STICKING, WON'T RAISE ALL THE WAY BACK UP UPDATED 9/25/18*JB

HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?TIME_CONTINUE=10&V=GDJL1_ROFHE PLEASE WATCH THE YOUTUBE LINK ABOVE TO CLEARLY SEE WHAT HAPPENED. I WAS DRIVING ON A ROAD WITH A 40 MPH SPEED LIMIT. FORTUNATELY NOBODY WAS IN FRONT OF ME FOR QUITE A WHILE BECAUSE THIS VERY EASILY COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A VERY DANGEROUS ACCIDENT. I WAS BEHIND A CAR GOING UNDER THE SPEED LIMIT SO I CHANGED LANES AND SAW THAT A CAR NOW BEHIND ME IN THE LANE I HAD MOVED INTO WAS DRIVING FAST SO I FLOORED MY ACCELERATOR TO MATCH SPEED AND AVOID CUTTING THEM OFF. AT THE POINT WHEN I BACKED OFF THE GAS I NOTICED THE PEDAL WAS STUCK FLOORED AND I WAS ACCELERATING ALARMINGLY FAST. ONLY BY PUMPING THE BREAKS REPEATEDLY AND KICKING THE GAS PEDAL DID I KNOCK IT LOOSE. THE INCIDENT PROBABLY LASTED 2-5 SECONDS AND I PROBABLY REACHED 50-55 MPH. IT WAS VERY FORTUNATE THAT NOBODY WAS AHEAD OF ME FOR A GOOD WAYS BUT IT WAS REALLY TERRIFYING. IF I HAD BEEN APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION OR RED LIGHT OR CROSSWALK OR JUST TRAFFIC UP AHEAD THIS COULD HAVE RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT. I CHECKED FOR OBSTRUCTIONS AND THERE WASN'T ANY JUNK DOWN AROUND THE GAS PEDAL. I STARTED TO THINK ABOUT MY FLOOR MAT AND REMEMBERED THAT I HAD REPLACED IT RECENTLY WITH A THICK RUBBER GOODYEAR MAT. THE BOTTOM OF THE MAT READS "DRIVER SIDE," "50-1000210," AND "JH 1700 K443. PHOTOS ATTACHED BELOW. THE BOTTOM OF THE GAS PEDAL HAD BECOME CAUGHT IN A GROOVE IN THE FLOOR MAT AND STUCK PRESSED ALL THE WAY DOWN. PHOTOS OF THE DOCUMENTATION ON THE FLOOR MAT ATTACHED BELOW.

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.

VEHICLE HEATS UP AND CAUSES WATER HOSES TO OVER HEAT AND BUST UP. THIS CAN CAUSE A SERIOUS BURN INJURY. APPARENTLY THIS IS A PROBLEM CAUSES BECAUSE OF THE HEAD GASKETS THAT WERE USED.THE GASKETS GET DAMAGED AND START CAUSING THE LINES TO FILL UP WITH AIR CAUSING ALOT OF PRESSURE TO.MOTOR AND THEN OVER HEATS.ALL THE LINES THAT BRING WATER TO THE MOTER BUSTED AND VEHICLE WASNT EVEN SHOWING TO BE HOT. VEHICLE STILL WORKS BUT CANT BE USED BECAUSE IT OVERHEATS. LINES WERE REPLACED TWICE BUT WILL BUST IF TRUCK IS TURNED ON . HAVE READ ONLINE THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO SEVEREL OWNERS BUT NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. HAVE ALSO XONTACTED CHEVROLET BUT THEY SAID THEY CANT DO ANYTHING YET. WE WERE ON EXPRESSWAY GOING HOME

PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT SHOWS NOT ON ALL THE TIME-WITH OR WITHOUT PASSENGER IN SEAT. MESSAGE TO SERVICE AIRBAGS ON ALL THE TIME. NOW SEATBELT LIGHT IS FLASHING EVEN WHEN IN USE. SERVICE STABILTRACK LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF. READING ALL THE OTHER COMMENTS I SEE THIS IS A COMMON COMPLAINT. RECENTLY HAD MY CAR IN TO REPLACE FUEL PUMP THAT WAS A RECALL FOR OTHERS BUT A "SPECIAL REPAIR" FOR MY CAR. TOLD DEALER ABOUT PROBLEMS WITH AIRBAG AND STABILITRAK AND WAS TOLD IT WOULD COST ABOUT $150.00 EACH TO DO THE DIAGNOSTIC TESTS. WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE FOR THESE PROBLEMS TO BECOME RECALLS FOR ALL THE AFFECTED CARS?

OUR 2007 CHEVY EQUINOX FUEL PUMP RETURN STARTED LEAKING FUEL ON THE TOP OF THE FUEL PUMP CAUSING FUEL TO LEAK ON THE GROUND AND RELEASES STRONG GAS FUMES WHILE PARKED IN OUR GARAGE. THIS VEHICLE IS UNDER CURRENT SAFETY RECALL IN OTHER STATES BUT NOT IN INDIANA. WHY ARE ONLY SOME STATES UNDER RECALL BUT NOT INDIANA?

I STARTED SMELLING GAS ODOR WHEN EXITING THE VEHICLE , I CHECKED AROUND THE VEHICLE DID NOT SEE ANY GAS SPILLING ANYWHERE, CHECKED UNDER THE VEHICLE NOTICED THE FUEL TANK WAS WET ON THE BACKSIDE , THE GAS IS COMING FROM THE TOP OF THE FUEL TANK..I NOTICED THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS MODEL VEHICLE AND CHECKED AND SAID THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT UNDER THE RECALL...WHY? IT SOUNDS LIKE THE SAME THING EVERYONE ELSE IS HAVING THE SAME THING HAPPEN AND THE RECALL IS FIXING THE PROBLEM..

1. THE AIRBAG SENSORY ON THE PASSENGER SIDE GOES ON AND OFF DEPENDING HOW THE PERSON IS SEATED OR HOW MUCH THE PERSON WEIGHS. 2. THE DEFROSTING/HEATING MECHANISM DOESN'T PRODUCE WARM ENOUGH AIR TO CLEAR THE WINDOWS FOR CLEAR VISIBILITY..

MY CAR JUST RECENTLY STARTED TO SMELL LIKE GAS. AT FIRST, IT WAS A FAINT SMELL. NOW IT IS STRONGER. I CAN STILL DRIVE THE VEHICLE BUT I FEEL AS IF IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD. I HAVE TWO SMALL CHILDREN THAT RIDE IN THIS VEHICLE. MY GAS METER STILL WORKS AND MY RANGE IS ACCURATE BUT THE GAS SMELL IS BECOMING VERY OVERWHELMING.

AGAIN ON 4/10/10 WE TOOK THE VEHICLE IN AGAIN WITH SAME COMPLAINT. WE WERE TOLD AGAIN COULD NOT DUPLICATE AT THIS TIME, NO PROBLEM FOUND SCANNED, NO CODES. NO BULLETINS FOUND, SYSTEM WORKING AS DESIGNED. THEN AGAIN 9/28/11 WE TOOK IT IN AGAIN AND COMPLAINED THE SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON INTERMITTENTLY. THEY REPLACED THE PPS MODULE. WE HAD TO PAY LABOR AND FACTORY WARRANTY DEDUCTIBLE. I SEE BY YOU RECALL PAGE THERE WAS A RECALL #07V344000 ON THE PASSENGER SENSOR AND OR CALIBRATION. IF THERE WAS A RECALL WHY WERE WE CHARGED TO REPLACE A DEFAULT BY THE MAKER? NOW HERE WE ARE IN DEC 2016 AND NOW WE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AGAIN. THE AIR BAG DOES NOT ALWAYS REGISTER A PASSENGER AND IF IT DOES, IT GOES BACK AND FOR STATING AIR BAG ON AND AIR BAG OFF AND THE DASH WARNING LIGHT TO SERVICE AIR BAG GOES ON AND OFF AND THEN WE GET A READ OUT ON THE DASH STATING TO SERVICE AIR BAG. SAME PROBLEM YET AGAIN. HOW MAY TIMES CAN THE SENSOR OR CALIBRATION GO WRONG. WE CALLED GREGG YOUNG AND THEY WANT $130 JUST TO LOOK AT THE PROBLEM. WHAT ARE OUR OPTIONS? I DON'T FEEL THIS IS A WEAR AND TEAR PROBLEM AND WE PAID FOR IT ONCE ALREADY AND FEEL WE SHOULD NOT HAVE BASED ON THE RECALL LISTED. ANY INFORMATION YOU COULD PROVIDE WOULD BE HELPFUL.
