2007 CHEVROLET EQUINOX Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE PARKED FUEL FUMES WERE EMITTED INTO THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO STATED THAT THERE WAS A FUEL LEAK AND THE FUEL TANK NEEDED TO BE REMOVED IN ORDER TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. AFTER INSPECTING THE FUEL TANK THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSE THAT THE FUEL PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THERE WAS A RECALL UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 12V459000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE: DELIVERY: FUEL PUMP) THAT MAY BE RELATED TO THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE WHO DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE SINCE THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 98,000.

I HAVE NOTICED THAT FINALLY THERE IS A RECALL . I AM SADDENED TO SEE THAT UNFORTUNATELY THIS RECALL IS NOT INCLUDED IN FLORIDA. I JUST NEVER KNEW THAT A BIG COMPANY WOULD NOT CARE FOR THE SAFETY OF THE DRIVERS AND PASSENGERS! I DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO FIX IT, AND I AM SCARED THAT SOMETHING BAD WILL HAPPEN WHILE I AM DRIVING IT IN WITH CHILDREN. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY MY CAR IS NOT BEING RECALLED. I FEEL IT IS UNFAIR TO ONLY RECALL CERTAIN STATES WHEN THERE ARE OTHERS LIKE ME IN FLORIDA WITH THIS SERIOUS PROBLEM. THIS PROBLEM IS VERY SERIOUS, IT LEAKS GASOLINE!!!.PEOPLES LIVES ARE AT RISK! WILL GM CARE WHEN SOMEONE DIES HERE IN FLORIDA!. WHEN I HEARD ABOUT THE RECALL I WAS SO HAPPY, THEN CALLED GM, ONLY TO BE TOLD I AM NOT IN THE STATE FOR THE RECALL, WHICH IS SO UNFAIR!!!!!!. I WAS ALSO TOLD IF I FELT IT WAS SERIOUS, AND SCARED THAT I SHOULD GET IT FIXED AND THAT THEY WOULD REIMBURSE ME IF THE RECALL EVENTUALLY AFFECTS MY VEHICLE. I JUST FELT THE SAME COLD SHOULDER I RECEIVED WHEN I COMPLAINED TO GM ABOUT MY PASSENGER AIRBAG! . IF SOMETHING HAPPENS BECAUSE OF THIS IT WOULD BE PRETTY SAD THAT THEY COULD HAVE HELPED PEOPLE LIKE ME AND MY FAMILY. I FEEL LIKE I NEED TO LET YOU KNOW THIS IS SO SERIOUS. I DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO HIRE A LAWYER, CALL THE NEWS, JUST FOR GM TO DO WHAT IS THE RIGHT THING TO DO FOR OTHER STATES, LIKE FLORIDA! I PRAY NOTHING BAD HAPPENS AND THAT IT SHOULD NOT BE ONLY A FEW STATES, IT SHOULD BE THE ALL VEHICLES WITH THE PROBLEM FOR THE RECALL, AND FLORIDA IS A VERY WARM STATE. PLEASE THANK YOU FOR LISTENING AND I DO HOPE THAT ALL THE OTHER PEOPLE LIKE MYSELF GET THIS PROBLEM RESOLVED FROM GM, FOR THE SAFETY OF US AND ALL OTHER DRIVERS IN CASE OF A SERIOUS ACCIDENT! THEY SHOULD NOT WAIT FOR US IN FLORIDA BEFORE ITS TO LATE. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

OUR 2007 CHEVY EQUINOX DEVELOPED A FUEL LEAK FROM THE FUEL PUMP CAUSING A STRONG ODOR OF GASOLINE WHEN DRIVING AND WHEN PARKED. WE HEARD ON THE NEWS THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON 2007 EQUINOX FOR DEFECTIVE FUEL PUMPS THAT LEAKED. WE CONTACTED GENERAL MOTORS AND THEY INFORMED US THAT OUR VEHICLE WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. WE PAID FOR THE REPAIRS OURSELVES. IS THERE ANY WAY THAT WE CAN BE REIMBURSED FOR THE REPAIR COSTS? WE CURRENTLY HAVE THE DEFECTIVE FUEL PUMP. *TR
