THERE IS A HARSH SMELL OF FUEL COMING FROM SOMEWHERE IN THE FUEL TANK AREA. THERE IS NO FUEL LEAKS TO BE FOUND. WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE, THE STARTER SEEMS TO STAY ENGAGED FOR A FEW SECONDS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT WAS BUILT WITH A SENSOR SYSTEM FOR THE AIR BAGS HOWEVER, THERE WAS AN ERROR IN THE CALIBRATION OF THE SENSOR, WHICH CAUSED THE SENSOR TO FAIL. AS A RESULT, THE AIR BAGS WOULD NOT SHUT OFF WHEN A SMALL CHILD OR SMALL STATURED PERSON WAS OCCUPYING THE PASSENGER'S SEAT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, WHO REFUSED TO DIAGNOSE THE VEHICLE BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS NOT PURCHASED AT THAT PARTICULAR DEALER. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED OF A RECALL FOR THE FAILURE UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 07V344000 (AIR BAGS). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED BUT OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 82,000.

VEHICLE COMPUTER SAYS, "SERVICE AIR BAG SOON". AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON EVEN WHEN IT IS OCCUPIED BY AN ADULT. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STARTED IT SAYS THE PASSENGER AIR BAG IS OFF EVEN WITH AN ADULT PASSENGER. THE AIRBAG TURNS OFF RANDOMLY FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE. *TR

THE EQUINOX APPEARS TO HAVE A FUEL SYSTEM FAILURE. I HAVE LOOKED UP EQUINOX RECALLS AND THERE ARE OVER 40,000 OF THE SAME YEAR, MAKE MODEL, MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED. THE CAR HAS A STRONG GAS SMELL COMING FROM THE BACK OF THE CAR. I HAVE READ TESTIMONY AFTER TESTIMONY ONLINE OF OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME YEAR MAKE AND MODEL ALSO NOT BEING INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. LAST YEAR WE HAD TO REPLACE THE EGR VALVE AS WELL AND IT APPEARS IT IS IN SIMILAR CIRCUMSTANCE. (REGISTERING HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS FOR IT'S FAILURE AS WELL) WE WOULD CERTAINLY LIKE GM TO MAKE A TOTALLY RECALL ON THE FUEL SYSTEM FAILURE THAT IS EVIDENTIALLY EXTREMELY MORE WIDE SPREAD THAN THEY ARE ACKNOWLEDGING. THE DEALERSHIP HAS SAID IT IS MORE THAN LIKELY GOING TO HAVE TO REPLACE THE PUMP STARTING AT $900, AS A TEACHER THIS IS NOT A REASONABLE FEAT. PLEASE HELP US GET THIS PROBLEM FIXED FOR BOTH THE FUEL SYSTEM AND THE EGR VALVE. THANKS! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS A SMELL OF GASOLINE FUEL INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT LATER DISCOVERED A SMALL AMOUNT OF GASOLINE LEAKING FROM THE VEHICLE. THERE WAS A RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 12V459000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE: DELIVERY: FUEL PUMP) HOWEVER, THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL CAMPAIGN. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

DETECTED SMELL OF GASOLINE WHILE PARKED AMONG MANY OTHER CARS. DID NOT THINK MUCH OF IT UNTIL AT HOME DETECTED SMELL OF GASOLINE INSIDE AND OUT OF THE VEHICLE. LOOK AROUND AND SAW GAS DRIPPING FROM THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE OF CAR. CHECK UNDER THE CAR AND IT SEEMED LIKE GAS LEAKING FROM THE TOP OF THE GAS TANK. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER AND AGREED ON REPAIR. DEALER HAD PREVIOUSLY SAID COST WOULD BE APPROXIMATELY 500 DOLLARS. WHEN VEHICLE WAS AT THE GARAGE I WAS TOLD OVER 900 DOLLARS TO REPAIR. I AGREED, HOPING THERE WOULD EVENTUALLY BE A RECALL, SINCE I HAD READ OF MANY COMPLAINS ON LINE. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE LABOR CHARGED REFUNDED TO ME. A FEW MONTHS LATER I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE. THE LETTER SPECIFICALLY SAYS "YOUR 2007 MODEL YEAR CHEVROLET EQUINOX, VIN XXXXXXXXXXXXX IS INVOLVED IN SAFETY RECALL 12190. ETC. WHEN TO DEALER, AND THE SERVICE GUY SAY "YOUR VEHICLE DOES NOT SHOW ANY OPEN RECALLS AND THAT ONLY CERTAIN ONE HAVE THAT FUEL PUMP MODULE RECALL. I TOLD HIM "LOOK AT THE LETTER" BUT I GOT NOWHERE. TRUE I HAD THE VEHICLE REPAIRED, BUT THE LETTER MENTIONS A REFUND. PLUS, DID I GET THE RIGHT REPLACEMENT PART OR SOME OTHER GENERIC PART? SO WHY DOES MY LETTER SAY YOUR....IS INVOLVED IN SAFETY RECALL..YET THE DEALER'S SYSTEM SAYS "NO" TO THIS RECALL. BY THE WAY I DID BUY IT IN CALIFORNIA AND IT'S REGISTER ALSO AT CALIFORNIA. *TR
