2007 Chevrolet Equinox

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE HIS WIFE WAS DRIVING 35 MPH, THE FRONT PASSENGER'S SIDE BAGS WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. UPON INVESTIGATION, THE CONTACT ASSOCIATED THE FAILURE WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 07V344000 (AIR BAGS), HOWEVER THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER RYDELL CHEVROLET LOCATED AT 18600 DEVONSHIRE ST #1309, NORTHRIDGE, CA 91324, (866) 802-5628, WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED AND THE CONTACT INFORMED THAT THE AIR BAGS CALIBRATION SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD BEEN INFORMED OF FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 50,000. *LN*DT CONSUMER STATED FUEL PUMP WAS ALSO RECALLED AND HAD IT REPAIRED WITHOUT KNOWING IT WAS RECALLED. *JB

WHILE DRIVING SUDDENLY STABLITRAK SERVICE LIGHT AND ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. DOOR LOCKS START UNLOCKING AND LOCKING, ALL LIGHTS START FLASHING AND CAR SLOWS DOWN. AT THE SAME TIME STEERING WHEEL BECOMES VERY TIGHT AND UNABLE TO TURN. HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING ANY SPEED. HAVE HAD MANY VISITS TO MECHANICS: ECM REPLACED AND PROGRAMMED WAS THE LAST ATTEMPT PRIOR TO THAT I HAD A NEW STARTED PUT ON. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE FOR CHEVROLET'S FROM MY RESEARCH. RECENTLY BOUGHT A USED 2014 CHEVY TRAVERSE LT AND I'M STARTED TO SEE THE SAME ISSUES AND I'VE ONLY HAD IT 1 WEEK. I'M VERY UPSET THESE MODELS AREN'T SAFE. TO MANY TIMES TO COUNT HOW MANY TIME IT'S HAPPENED MAYBE 30-40 IN 1 YEAR.

THIS VEHICLE IS ONE OF SEVERAL THAT HAVE BEEN REPORTED TO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH WHEEL SPEED AND PSI SENSORS, WHICH THEN CAUSES THE TRACTION CONTROL TO BELIEVE COMPUTER WISE IT HAS NO TRACTION, THEREFORE THE LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON AND THE COMPUTER SOMETIMES SHUT THE TRACTION CONTROL OFF WHEN IT NEEDS TO BE ON. IT ALSO HAS AIRBAG TROUBLE WITH THE PASSENGER SEAT, ALSO LIKE THE RECALL. HOWEVER, DESPITE THE FACT 2007'S WERE ISSUED THIS RECALL, IT'S SAYING MY 'VIN' DOES APPLY TO THESE RECALLS. FIND THAT HARD TO BELIEVE WHEN THESE THINGS ARE MESSED UP. JUST WANT GM MOTORS TO AWKNOWLEDGE IT'S POSSIBLE THAT THIS VEHICLE WAS MISMANUFACTURED.

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 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

I PURCHASED A 2007 CHEVY EQUINOX FROM A PRIVATE PARTY BACK IN JANUARY BUT DUE TO A MIX-UP WITH THE TITLE AND THE PREVIOUS OWNER I COULD NOT TITLE THE CAR AND START DRIVING IT UNTIL MARCH. I'VE NOTICED LATELY A STRONG SMELL OF GAS AND A VERY LOUD CLUNKING NOISE FROM THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT WHEEL. I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL SHOP IN MY TOWN AND WAS TOLD I HAD A GAS LEAK AT THE TOP OF THE TANK AND THAT THE SWAY BAR LINKAGE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED . IN DOING MY RESEARCH I FOUND THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE FUEL LEAK ON THE 2007 EQUINOXES AND THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE SWAY BAR LINKAGE GOING BAD AND THE SERVICE STABLE TRACK LIGHT CONSTANTLY STAYING ON. I ALSO HAVE THE PROBLEM STATING ALL WHEEL DRIVE OFF FLASHING ON MY SCREEN. I FOUND THAT MANY PEOPLE PUT THEIR VIN NUMBERS IN THE SEARCH WINDOW AND FOUND THEIRS NOT TO BE PART OF THE RECALL BUT I'M WONDERING WHY IF MORE THAN JUST THE PREVIOUS RECALLED VEHICLES ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WOULDN'T THEY WANT ANOTHER RECALL ISSUED FOR THE ONES THAT HAVEN'T BEEN REPAIRED. I JUST TOOK IT TO A GM DEALER TODAY IN MY HOMETOWN AND THEY WANT OVER $1,400 TO FIX JUST THE FUEL LEAKAGE PROBLEM I NEED TO KNOW WHAT GM IS GOING TO DO ABOUT IT. I DON'T HAVE 1400 EXTRA DOLLARS TO FIX THIS GAS LEAK AND I'M SCARED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE FOR FEAR OF IT STARTING ON FIRE.
