2007 Chevrolet Equinox

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR WAS CONSTANTLY ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE SEAT ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT NEEDED TO BE REPROGRAMMED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 07V344000 (AIR BAGS). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 100,000.

ON 9/22/08 WE TOOK OUR VEHICLE TO GREGG YOUNG CHEVY IN OMAHA NE WITH COMPLAINT OF THE PASSENGER AIR BAG DID NOT REGISTER PASSENGER. THE COULD NOT DUPLICATE AND NOTHING WAS DONE. AGAIN ON 4/10/10 WE TOOK THE VEHICLE IN AGAIN WITH SAME COMPLAINT. WE WERE TOLD AGAIN COULD NOT DUPLICATE AT THIS TIME, NO PROBLEM FOUND SCANNED, NO CODES. NO BULLETINS FOUND, SYSTEM WORKING AS DESIGNED. THEN AGAIN 9/28/11 WE TOOK IT IN AGAIN AND COMPLAINED THE SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON INTERMITTENTLY. THEY REPLACED THE PPS MODULE. WE HAD TO PAY LABOR AND FACTORY WARRANTY DEDUCTIBLE. I SEE BY YOU RECALL PAGE THERE WAS A RECALL #07V344000 ON THE PASSENGER SENSOR AND OR CALIBRATION. IF THERE WAS A RECALL WHY WERE WE CHARGED TO REPLACE A DEFAULT BY THE MAKER? NOW HERE WE ARE IN DEC 2016 AND NOW WE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AGAIN. THE AIR BAG DOES NOT ALWAYS REGISTER A PASSENGER AND IF IT DOES, IT GOES BACK AND FOR STATING AIR BAG ON AND AIR BAG OFF AND THE DASH WARNING LIGHT TO SERVICE AIR BAG GOES ON AND OFF AND THEN WE GET A READ OUT ON THE DASH STATING TO SERVICE AIR BAG. SAME PROBLEM YET AGAIN. HOW MAY TIMES CAN THE SENSOR OR CALIBRATION GO WRONG. WE CALLED GREGG YOUNG AND THEY WANT $130 JUST TO LOOK AT THE PROBLEM. WHAT ARE OUR OPTIONS? I DON'T FEEL THIS IS A WEAR AND TEAR PROBLEM AND WE PAID FOR IT ONCE ALREADY AND FEEL WE SHOULD NOT HAVE BASED ON THE RECALL LISTED. ANY INFORMATION YOU COULD PROVIDE WOULD BE HELPFUL. THANK YOU FOR CONSIDERING OUR SAFETY A PRIORITY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL, REGARDLESS IF AN OCCUPANT WAS OCCUPYING THE SEAT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED.

THE PASSENGER SEAT AIR BAG SENSOR FAILED AND TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM THE ENTIRE SEAT CUSHION AND ELECTRONIC MODULE HAS TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS AN OVER $800 REPAIR AND MY DAUGHTER CANT AFFORD TO HAVE IT FIXED. ACCORDING TO THE DEALER TECH THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON SEVERAL THOUSAND EQUINOX, TORRENT AND SATURN ION VEHICLES. IMHO THIS IS A SAFETY DEFECT AND SHOULD BE REPAIRED AT NO CHARGE.

PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG WORKED INTERMITTENTLY WHILE PASSENGER WAS SEATED IN SEAT. SOMETIMES ON WHEN NO ONE SEATED AND OFF WHEN SOMEONE SEATED. NOW CHECK/SERVICE AIRBAGS LIGHTS ARE ON AND PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG STAYS OFF WHEN SOMEONE SEATED. I AM NOT SURE IF ANY OF THE AIRBAGS AT THIS POINT WILL WORK BECAUSE ALL AIRBAG LIGHTS ARE ON.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR RANDOMLY ILLUMINATED.

WHEN I HAVE A PASSENGER IN THE SEAT THE AIRBAG NEVER COMES ON AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT STAYS ON AND TELLS ME IT NEEDS SERVICE. ALSO ALL MY GAUGES ARE ALL OUT OF WACK NOT SURE IF IT IS A RECALL OR NOT ONCE I HIT 100,000 MILES ALL THESE THINGS CAME ABOUT. ALSO THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE FUEL SYSTEM AND AT THE TIME I DID NOT HAVE A PROBLEM AS OF YET, ON 9/29/15 I THEN SMELLED THE GAS AND CALLED MK SMITH CHEVROLET TO SEE IF THERE WERE ANY RECALLS ON THIS AND THEY TOLD ME NO, SO I DID TAKE IT SOMEWHERE ELSE TO BE FIXED DUE TO IT BEING CHEAPER FOR ME AND GOT IT FIXED AND PAID $633.60. I HAVE DOCUMENT FOR THAT. NOW MY KEY IN THE IGNITION DOES NOT COME OUT AND I HEAR A CLICKING NOISE BY THE IGNITION I'M NOT SURE IF THAT AS WELL IS A RECALL ON THE EQUINOX 2007. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF ANY OF THESE PROBLEMS ARE RECALLS ON MY VEHICLE. I JUST HAVE READ ALL THESE OTHER COMPLAINTS ON THE SAME ISSUES ON THE EQUINOX 2007.
