TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. WHILE THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT INDICATED THAT THE AIR BAG WAS OFF WHILE AN OCCUPANT WAS POSITIONED IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT.

AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT AT ROUGHLY 20 MILES AN HOUR IN A 2007 CHEVY EQUINOX MOSTLY FRONT END AND DRIVER SIDE DAMAGE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. MAJOR FRONT END DAMAGE SUSTAINED. *TR

2007 EQUINOX WITH 69,000 MILES HAD A GAS SMELL OUTSIDE AS WELL AS IN THE CABIN. TOOK IT RIGHT TO THE DEALER ON A FRIDAY AFTERNOON. THE SERVICE SUPERVISOR PUT IT ON THE LIFT AND SAID I HAD A GAS LEAK AND COULD NOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE. INDICATED IT WAS MOST LIKELY THE FUEL PRESSURE MODULATOR. ESTIMATED THE COST OF REPAIR WOULD BE ABOUT $650 PLUS LABOR. I CALLED BACK THAT MONDAY EVENING TO INQUIRE IF THE LEAK HAD BEEN PINPOINTED. GOOD NEWS!!! THE PART WOULD TAKE A COUPLE OF DAYS TO GET IN BUT IT WOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY!!! SAVED ME BETWEEN $1200 - $1500. CHEVY DEALER IN ENTERPRISE, AL IS THE GREATEST! DON'T KNOW WHY SO MANY OTHERS WITH THE SAME TYPE PROBLEM ARE TURNED AWAY BY THE DEALER. *TR

IN OCTOBER 2010 WHILE TRAVELING IN ILLINOIS, THE VEHICLE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT CAME ON. I WAS TOLD BY A DEALERSHIP IN ILLINOIS THAT NOTHING WAS FOUND TO TRIGGER THE ALARM AFTER THEY RAN A DIAGNOSTIC, AND DROVE THE CAR FOR A WHILE. A FEW DAYS LATER, WHILE DRIVING FROM ILLINOIS TO COLORADO, THE "SERVICE STABILITRACK" LIGHT CAME ON, BUT WENT OUT AFTER DRIVING FOR ABOUT 60 MILES WITH IT ILLUMINATED. AGAIN I WAS TOLD OVER THE PHONE BY THE ILLINOIS DEALERSHIP THAT IT WAS PROBABLY NOTHING TO BE CONCERNED WITH, AND IT SHOULD RESET ITSELF. IN DECEMBER 2010, I WAS UNABLE TO DRIVE MY CAR DUE TO THE LOSS OF POWER STEERING. I RECEIVED NO ALARMS THE PREVIOUS DAY, AND THE CAR WAS WORKING PROPERLY. THE SERVICE STABILITRACK LIGHT REMAINED ON AT THIS POINT. I LOSS THE ABILITY TO DRIVE MY CAR SAFELY TO THE DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED IT AT IN COLORADO. AFTER TOWING MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP, I WAS INFORMED BY THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT THAT THE "POWER STEERING ASSIST MOTOR" HAD GONE OUT, AND WOULD NEED REPLACING AT THE COST OF $1000. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT THERE WERE SEVERAL HISTORY CODES INDICATING BACK TO OCTOBER, THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE CAR. I HAVE JUST DISCOVERED THAT CHEVY HAS RECALLED OTHER VEHICLES WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS A DANGEROUS ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE! *TR

A STARTED TO SMELL ANTIFREEZE INSIDE THE CAR. CHECKED COOLANT LEVEL AND IT WAS GOOD. LAST NIGHT STARTED THE CAR IN 40 DEGREE WEATHER, AND THE WINDOWS IN THE WHOLE CAR WOULD NOT DEFOG. NO VISIBILITY TO DRIVE. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. HEATER CORE AND/OR BROKEN AIR BLEND DOOR AND ACTUATOR PROBLEM. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. THE CONTACT SMELLED GASOLINE AND NOTICED THAT THERE WAS A GASOLINE LEAK. THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED, BUT OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT DID NOT INFORM THE MANUFACTURER OF THE FAILURE. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE APPROXIMATELY 58,000.

2007 CHEVY EQUINOX GAS LEAK. NOTICED INCREASED SMELL OF GAS. PREVIOUS TO THIS I HAD A LONGER THEN NORMAL STARTING PROBLEM, WINDS OUT THEN STARTS. I WAS TOLD TO LEAVE THE KEY IN START POSITION TO BUILD UP PRESSURE IN THE GAS LINES. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY DID NOT WANT TO WARRANTY THE DEFECT. I ASKED FOR A QUOTE AND SAID IT WAS UPWARD OF $1,500. THIS IS AFTER HAVING TO PAY $93 DOLLARS FOR TELLING ME I HAD A GAS LEAK I KNOW I ALREADY HAD. TO MY OWN TROUBLESHOOTING I FOUND THAT THE FITTING THAT ATTACHES THE HIGH PRESSURE GAS LINE TO THE GAS PUMP MANIFOLD APPEARS TO BE A PLASTIC TO PLASTIC COMPRESSION FITTING. IT IS HIGHLY LIKELY THAT AFTER CONSTANT VIBRATION THESE TWO PLASTIC PARTS CAN CREATE A GAP FOR GAS TO ESCAPE IN LARGE QUANTITY. THUS THE CONSTANT GAS SMELL. WITH THE KEY IN THE START POSITION NOTICEABLE GAS CAN BE SEEN DISPENSING ONTO THE FLOOR. A MANUFACTURE DEFECT IN MY EYES. I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO FIX IT MYSELF WITH GM PARTS AT A HIGH COST OF & 600.00 DOLLARS, A GAS PUMP ASSEMBLY NOT OTHERWISE FOUND ELSEWHERE. WITH THE ANTICIPATION OF THE NEW PART HAVING THE SAME DEFECT. *TR
