2007 CHEVROLET EQUINOX Complaints

ENGINE POWER REDUCED LIGHT CAME ON WHILE WE WERE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 55 MPH. MY VEHICLE DROPPED IN SPEED TO 25 MPH AND WOULD NOT PICK UP SPEED. MY FAMILY AND I ALMOST WERE HIT FROM BEHIND BY AN 18 WHEELER. I LOOKED THIS UP ON THE CHEVY FORUM AND FOUND THAT THERE ARE MANY OTHER CHEVY OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. PLEASE LOOK INTO TO IT AND ISSUE A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE TRACTION CONTROL WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED WITH A REDUCTION IN ENGINE POWER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT DIAGNOSIS WHERE THEY STATED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 160,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET EQUINOX LT . THE CONTACT STATED THAT HIS VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 07V344000 (AIR BAGS). THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE EXPERIENCED THE SAME FAILURE DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE; HOWEVER, THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT.

HEATER IS BLOWING COLD AIR ONLY. UNABLE TO DEFROST FRONT WINDSHIELD. THIS IS VERY HAZARDOUS, AS MY WINTER DRIVING VISIBILITY IS LIMITED. SUSPECT AIR BLENDER DOOR FAILURE. THIS PROBLEM WAS ADDRESSED BY TSB 11135 (MAY 30, 2012); HOWEVER IT ONLY APPLIES TO 2006 CHEVY EQUINOX. MY CAR IS A 2007 CHEVY EQUINOX. I SPOKE WITH GM AND THEY CONFIRMED THE TSB WAS ONLY FOR THE 2006 MODEL YEAR. MY RESEARCH LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THAT THE 2007 MODEL YEAR SHOULD ALSO BE INCLUDED. MY HEATER PARTS MIGHT BE FROM LATE MODEL 2006. *TR

I TOOK MY CAR INTO A POWER CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP BACK IN SEPTEMBER, THEY SAID THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL FOR THE COILS/SPARK PLUGS. THEY FIXED THE ISSUE, AS MY CAR HAD BEEN STALLING AS I ACCELERATED. NOW, RECENTLY MY ELECTRIC STABILITY TRACTION LIGHT CAME ON, ALONG WITH MY ENGINE AND "SERVICE BRAKES" LIGHT. I HAD MY BRAKES DONE BACK IN OCTOBER AT THE SAME TIME AS THEY REPLACED THE COIL. MY CAR IS STARTING TO STALL AND DO THE SAME AS IT WAS BACK IN OCTOBER. I AM NOT SURE WHY CHEVY IS NOT RECALLING OR SENDING OUT NOTICES ABOUT THESE ISSUES. IT'S HAZARDOUS. I CONTACTED A LAWYER. *TR

VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED AND REGISTERED IN MICHIGAN. CAR STARTED SMELLING STRONG OF GASOLINE. FUEL STARTED LEAKING OUT OF THE VEHICLE. NO ACCIDENT OR DAMAGE HAD OCCURRED PRIOR TO THE GAS TANK LEAKING. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THE FUEL PUMP/FUEL MODULE HAD TO BE REPLACED. IT WAS FOUND THAT THERE WAS A CRACK IN THE FUEL PUMP, CAUSING IT TO LEAK GAS AND COULD OF CAUSED A FIRE. THE RECALL NUMBER #12V459000 SHOULD INCLUDE MICHIGAN ON THE STATES LISTED. I HAVE JUST RECENTLY (WITHIN THE WEEK) HAD THIS FUEL PUMP REPLACED, AND THE DEALERSHIP DID NOT KNOW OF THIS RECALL AND I HAD TO PAY TO HAVE IT FIXED. *TR

I LOST POWER STEERING IN MY CAR. I HAD NO WARNING TO INDICATE THERE WAS A PROBLEM. I WAS DRIVING AND IT WENT OUT. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND I COULD HAVE CRASHED. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON THIS, MY POWER STEERING MODULE FAILED. I HAD TO REPLACE IT WHICH WAS VERY COSTLY. I HAVE READ THAT THERE HAS BEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON THIS YEAR AND MODEL WITH THE SAME ISSUE. *TR

UPON SMOKE TEST OF FUEL SYSTEM IT WAS FOUND THAT FUEL IS LEAKING FROM FUEL LINE WHERE THE FUEL LINE MEETS THE FUEL PUMP ON TOP OF THE FUEL TANK.
