2007 CHEVROLET EQUINOX Complaints

FIRST INCIDENT: STABILITRAC CONTROL ERROR. NO CODES STORED! SEVERAL CALLS & COMMUNICATIONS POINTED TO THE EGR VALVE. REPLACED THAT ~ $79. SEEMED FINE.... WEEKS LATER, STABILITRAC ERROR AND LOSS OF POWER STEERING WHILE DRIVING. NOT GOOD. ALMOST HAD AN ACCIDENT! STILL NO ERROR CODE !!!! COULD NOT TRACK ANYTHING DOWN... PUT VEHICLE IN SHOP. THEY DETERMINE THAT IT WAS THE POWER STEERING POSITION SENSOR. GETTING FIXED @ $650+ PRICE TAG. CAN'T BELIEVE THIS IS NOT A RECALL SAFETY ITEM SINCE IT SEEMS TO BE HAPPENING NO ONLY TO ME. PLEASE RESEARCH PROBLEM AND HELP RECOUP SOME OF THE $$$$. I DON'T MIND PAYING FOR WORK AND REAL IDENTIFIABLE PROBLEMS, BUT THIS IS RIDICULOUS CONSIDERING THE SAFETY INVOLVED. *TR

ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO I STARTED SMELLING GAS AROUND AND IN MY VEHICLE. AFTER RESEARCHING THE DATA BASE I SEE THAT IS NOT UNCOMMON AND I AM VERY CONCERNED AS TO WHY THIS IS NOT BEING RECALLED. HOW MANY COMPLAINTS NEED TO BE MADE? ARE THEY WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO BE INJURED BECAUSE THEIR VEHICLE CAUGHT ON FIRE DUE TO THIS? THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE FOR SURE. I DID TAKE MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND IT IS THE FUEL PUMP. UNFORTUNATELY I DO NOT LIVE IN THE STATES THAT THE RECALL WAS ISSUED FOR. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE AND EVERY ONE OF THEM IS A KNOWN COMMON ISSUE AND NONE HAVE BEEN SENT FOR RECALL. THIS IS GOING TO COST ME MORE THAN I CAN AFFORD TO GET IT FIXED. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL IN ALL STATES NOT JUST A FEW! *TR

SEVERAL HEAT WAVES IN CT CAUSING CRACK IN FUEL PUMP MODULE. NOT ON RECALL LIST PER GM HOWEVER SHOULD BE FOR ANY SAFETY ISSUE SUCH AS THIS. SMELLED STRONG GAS ODOR AFTER DRIVING HOME FROM WORK. TOWED TO DEALER FOLLOWING MORNING -- AFRAID TO DRIVE, ONLY TO BE TOLD THAT THE FUEL PUMP MODULE NEEDED REPLACING. DEFINITELY A GAS LEAK. NOT COVERED BY RECALL LIKE OTHER STATES. HUGE COST TO FIX. *TR
