2007 CHEVROLET EQUINOX Complaints

EVEN THOUGH MY VIN DOES NOT COME UP AS HAVING AN ISSUE WITH THE PASSENGER AIR BAG DETECTOR IN MY SEAT, IT DOES NOT DETECT WHEN SOMEONE IS SITTING IN THE SEAT AND WILL NOT COME ON.

THE VEHICLE HAS STABLE TRACK LINK ERROR AND WILL NOT GO AWAY! PARTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED, BOTH AFTERMARKET AND SWAPPED FOR GENUINE GM AND STILL THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT IS ON. THE FUEL GAUGE DOESN'T WORK PROPERLY AND WILL JUST AT RANDOM SHOW OVER THE FULL MARK OR UNDER THE EMPTY MARK WHEN I HAVE PURCHASED FUEL ON THE SAME DAY. THE THROTTLE BODY HAD TO BE REPLACED AT 45,000 MILES WHEN THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND JUST SAT ON A BUSY ROAD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY AND THEN REMAINED LIT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2007 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO A CONCRETE EMBANKMENT TO AVOID COLLIDING WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE AIR BAG FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED INJURIES TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER AND LEFT ARM THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND TOWED TO A TOW LOT. THE CONTACT CALLED ALLEN TILLERY AUTO (LOCATED AT 4573 CENTRAL AVE, HOT SPRING, AR 71913, (501) 881-4160) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE AIR BAG SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED SINCE IT WAS JUST INSTALLED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, BOTH THE FRONT AND REAR DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE CURTAIN AIR BAGS DEPLOYED WITHOUT WARNING OR AN IMPACT. THE FRONT SEAT PASSENGER SUSTAINED AN ABRASION TO THE NECK THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL TREATMENT. THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE LOCAL DEALER (JD BYRIDER, 20941 EUCLID AVE, EUCLID OH) AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE, BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 95,000.

MY PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG DOES NOT TELL WHEN SOMEBODY SITTING THERE SO IF I HAVE AN ACCIDENT THE AIRBAG WILL NOT GO OFF I DON'T THINK THE SENSOR IS WORKING IT HAS BEEN REPLACED ONCE ALREADY. MY KEY GETS STUCK IN THE IGNITION I HAVE TO WAIT FOR IT TO CLICK TO GET IT OUT OF THE IGNITION

"TAKATA RECALL" STABILITY TRACTION CONTROL INDICATOR LIGHTS. NO WARNING FOR BRAKE PROBLEM. THE BRAKES LOCKED UP AND WOULDN'T STOP OR SLOW THE CAR BEFORE ENTERING A CURVE ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY.

AS MANY OTHERS, I NOW HAVE A LEAKING FUEL SENDING UNIT ON OUR 2007 CHEVY EQUINOX. MANY PEOPLE HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM AND CHEVY CHOOSES NOT TO ADDRESS IT FOR US BY ISSUING A RECALL. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS RUNNING THE FUEL SYSTEM IS PRESSURIZED WHICH CAUSES FUEL TO SPRAY OUT OF A FAULTY JOINT WHICH IS MADE OF PLASTIC THAT CRACKS, THE FUEL THEN DRIPS DOWN FROM THE TANK AS IT PLEASES AROUND THE EXHAUST AND ON TO THE FLOOR.

CAR SLOWS DOWN , BRAKES LOCK UP AND GET REAL HARD, CAR WANT MOVE. TRY TO PUT IT IN DRIVE, BRAKES TO HARD , WANT MOVE AT ALL. LET IT SET FOR 35 MIN. THEN CAR WILL MOVE. VERY DANGEROUS, WHEN CAR SLOW DOWN AND JUST STOP, SOMEONE ALMOST HIT ME

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO MOVE FORWARD WHEN IN DRIVE, FAILED TO RETAIN BRAKE FLUID, AND SUDDENLY DECELERATED. IN ADDITION, THE BRAKES SEIZED SEVERAL TIMES INTERMITTENTLY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STABILITY TRACTION CONTROL AND BRAKE LIGHTS ILLUMINATED RANDOMLY WHEN THE FAILURES OCCURRED. THE DEALER (JOHN THORNTON CHEVROLET, 1971 THORNTON RD, LITHIA SPRINGS, GA 30122, (678) 303-4071) INDICATED THAT THERE WAS BRAKE CONTAMINATION AND PROVIDED EXTENSIVE DIAGNOSTIC TESTING, BUT DID NOT SPECIFY WHICH PARTS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT WAS UNCERTAIN IF THERE WAS A PERMANENT REMEDY TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC STATED THAT THE ABS WOULD NEED TO BE FURTHER INSPECTED AND THAT THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER MAY NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER SUGGESTED THAT THE VEHICLE BE TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING AND REPAIR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN AND FAILURE MILEAGE WERE NOT AVAILABLE. *TT CONSUMER STATED BRAKES LOCK UP CAR COME TO A COMPLETE STOP STABLITY TRACTION CONTROL, LIGHT COMES ON, TRY TO PUT CAR IN DRIVE WON'T MOVE AT ALL, BRAKE PEDAL STICKING, WON'T RAISE ALL THE WAY BACK UP UPDATED 9/25/18*JB
