2007 CHEVROLET EQUINOX Complaints

SPEEDOMETER WENT FROM 40 TO 120 MILES AN HOUR. AND TACK WAS STUCK AT 1 1/2 MARK. COULD NOT TELL WHAT SPEED I WAS ACTUALLY GOING. ON A 2007 EQUINOX LS. *TR

MY 19 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AT APPROXIMATELY 11 PM ON SUNDAY, OCTOBER 5, 2014 ON A STRAIGHT STREET GOING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH IN OUR 2007 CHEVROLET EQUINOX WHEN BOTH THE DRIVER & PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED FOR NO APPARENT REASON. IT SCARED HER HALF TO DEATH, AND LUCKILY SHE DID NOT GET IN TO AN ACCIDENT. I CALLED OUR LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP TO REPORT THE ISSUE & REQUEST SERVICE. I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS & THAT I SHOULD FILE WITH MY INSURANCE COMPANY. I CONTACTED MY INSURANCE COMPANY & WAS TOLD NO COLLISION, NO CLAIM. I THEN WENT BACK TO THE SERVICE MANAGER & HE PROCEEDED TO TELL ME THAT THE CAR PROBABLY THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO TIP OVER--REALLY? LONG STORY SHORT, I HAVE CALLED GM PRODUCT DEPARTMENT & FILED A CLAIM WITH THEM, AND THE DEALERSHIP HAS HAD MY CAR FOR OVER A WEEK, AND THEY HAVE NOT HEARD FROM GM. I WAS TOLD BY THE PRODUCT SPECIALIST THAT AN INSPECTOR WAS GOING TO CHECK THE CAR & LET ME KNOW WHAT THE COMPUTER SAYS OF WHY THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF SUCH A THING, AND THEY ARE SAYING IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME ESPECIALLY IN SUV'S. I HAVE OWNED AN SUV SINCE 2005 & HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED AN ISSUE WITH THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYING WITHOUT A COLLISION. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ANY ONE ELSE & HOW I CAN HANDLE THIS MALFUNCTION OF THE AIR BAGS. I FEEL THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH FAULTY AIR BAGS, NOT MY FINANCIAL ISSUE. AND IS THIS CAR STILL SAFE FOR US TO DRIVE? PLEASE HELP. *TR

I HAVE MULTIPLE ISSUES CURRENTLY AND THEY ALL SEEM TO BE LISTED ON OTHER COMPLAINTS. 1. THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW HAS COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING. IT SEEMS TO HAVE BECOME DISCONNECTED TO THE MOTOR AS I CAN HEAR THE MOTOR GOING UP AND DOWN WITHIN THE DOOR. 2. STABILITRAK WARNING AND ENGINE LIGHT ARE CONSTANTLY TURNING ON AND OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON AND OFF OVER THE PAST YEAR OR SO BUT THE DEALERSHIP COULD NOT GET A READING FROM THE COMPUTER. NOW IT HAS BEEN ON FOR THE PAST 2 WEEKS CONSTANTLY 3. THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE IN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL DOES NOT WORK. TOOK IT INTO THE DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE THERMOSTAT A FEW DAYS LATER THE GAUGE WENT HAYWIRE AGAIN. IT GETS WORSE WHEN I FILL UP WITH GAS AND TENDS TO MIRROR THE GAS GAUGE READING MOST OF THE TIME. 4. THE KEY WILL NOT COME OUT OF THE IGNITION WHEN TURNING OFF THE CAR. THIS IS EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK, TURN THE KEY OFF, THE ENGINE TURNS OFF BUT THE KEY WILL NOT COME OUT OF THE IGNITION. HAVE TO TURN CAR BACK ON, PUT IT IN AND OUT OF PARK, TURN THE WHEEL, BACK UP, DRIVE FORWARD OR JUST SIT AND WAIT A FEW MINUTES AND IT COMES OUT. 5. OCCASIONALLY THE ELECTRONICS GO CRAZY - THE TURN SIGNALS WON'T WORK AND THE RADIO SHUTS DOWN. IT MAKES A SOUND WHEN IT DOES THIS AS WELL, LIKE A CLICKING NOISE BUT IT ONLY LASTS FOR A FEW SECONDS AND I CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT CAUSES IT. *TR

THE IGNITION SWITCH KEY IS VERY DIFFICULT TO REMOVE AND SOMETIMES IT TAKES UP TO 10 MIN. TO REMOVE THE KEY AFTER TURNING THE IGNITION SWITCH ASSEMBLY BACK AND FORTH. A DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY COULD OCCUR DUE TO THE EXTREME DIFFICULTY IN REMOVING THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION SWITCH. *TR

NOTICE ODOR OF GAS COMING FROM RIGHT REAR OF CAR AND SEEN A PUDDLE OF GAS IN LANE . MECHANIC STATE EITHER FUEL PUMP OR GASKET FAILURE CALLED GM THEY STATE THERE'S IS A EXTENDED COVERAGES IF DEALER STATE THE IT'S A FAILURE OF THE SUPPLY RETURN PORT HAVE TO PAY OUT OF MY POCKET BECAUSE THEY USED DEFECTIVE PARTS. *TR

I HAVE BEEN WATCHING THE RECALL LISTING FOR CAMPAIGN NUMBER 07V344000 BECAUSE THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT IS WRONG WITH MY VEHICLE BUT MY VIN ALWAYS COMES UP WITH NO OPEN RECALLS. THE SEAT SENSOR FOR THE PASSENGER AIRBAG HAS BEEN DETERMINED TO BE BAD BUT IT DOESN'T APPLY TO MY VEHICLE. IF THE PART IS BAD AND IS BEING RECALLED FOR OTHER CARS WHY IS MY CAR EXCLUDED? THE CHEVROLET DEALER QUOTED ME A COST IN EXCESS OF $900 FOR A PART I KNOW HAS AN ACTIVE RECALL ON IT. *TR

2007 CHEVROLET EQUINOX POWER STEERING CONTROL MODULE FAILURE. SERVICE STABILITRAK LIGHT AND MESSAGE APPEARED, POWER STEERING WAS WORKING WHEN I PARKED THE CAR. A FEW HOURS LATER, I CRANKED THE CAR AND THE POWER STEERING WAS COMPLETELY NON-FUNCTIONAL. EXTREMELY HARD TO TURN WHEEL, COULD CAUSE CRASH WHEN VEHICLE CANNOT TURN CORRECTLY. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP, TECHNICIAN STATED THE POWER STEERING CONTROL MODULE (COMPUTER) WAS BAD AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *TR
