2007 Chevrolet Equinox

I TOOK MY CAR INTO A POWER CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP BACK IN SEPTEMBER, THEY SAID THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL FOR THE COILS/SPARK PLUGS. THEY FIXED THE ISSUE, AS MY CAR HAD BEEN STALLING AS I ACCELERATED. NOW, RECENTLY MY ELECTRIC STABILITY TRACTION LIGHT CAME ON, ALONG WITH MY ENGINE AND "SERVICE BRAKES" LIGHT. I HAD MY BRAKES DONE BACK IN OCTOBER AT THE SAME TIME AS THEY REPLACED THE COIL. MY CAR IS STARTING TO STALL AND DO THE SAME AS IT WAS BACK IN OCTOBER. I AM NOT SURE WHY CHEVY IS NOT RECALLING OR SENDING OUT NOTICES ABOUT THESE ISSUES. IT'S HAZARDOUS. I CONTACTED A LAWYER. *TR

ONCE AGAIN, DRIVING ON A BUSY HIGHWAY MY STABILITRAC LIGHT CAME ON AND MY ENGINE WAS POWERED DOWN. MY VEHICLE IS ONCE AGAIN IN THE SHOP HAVING THE THROTTLE BOTTLE REPLACED. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED, THE MECHANICS JUST CLEANED THE PART, THIS TIME IT IS BEING REPLACED. WHEN YOUR VEHICLE POWERS DOWN, YOU LOSE THE ABILITY TO SAFELY MANEUVER YOUR CAR- POTENTIALLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. *TR

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ON A BUSY INTERSTATE GOING NEARLY 60 MPH WHEN MY TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON, I LOST ENGINE POWER, MY CAR JERKED BECAUSE OF THIS AND I WAS NEARLY HIT FROM BEHIND. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY PROBLEM AND SHOULD BE FIXED. AFTER READING OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE, WHEN IS GM GOING TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS OBVIOUS PROBLEM FOR THE CONSUMER? *TR

ON 1/28/13 I REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY AT GM CERTIFIED DEALER. TRUCK WAS DIAGNOSED WITH CODE P2135 FOR FAILED THROTTLE BODY AND CONNECTOR. WHILE DRIVING MY 2007 CHEVY EQUINOX IT DISPLAYED SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL, SERVICE STABILTRAK, ENGINE POWER REDUCING AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. ON 7/5/13 I RETURNED MY TRUCK BACK TO THE DEALER. THEY DIAGNOSED THE TRUCK AGAIN AND REPLACED THE PART A SECOND TIME. NOW ON 8/19/13 THE TRUCK WAS BACK AT THE DEALER FOR THIRD TIME AND SAME ISSUE. DEALER DIAGNOSED MY TRUCK AND COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG AT THE TIME AFTER I COMPLAINED OF SAME ISSUE DISPLAYED ON VEHICLE. 9/11/13 THE SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL/STABILTRAK WITH CHECK ENGINE CAME ON AGAIN. I TOOK THE TRUCK BACK TO THE DEALER AND SHOWED THEM VIDEO OF THE PROBLEM HAPPENING. THIS TIME THEY SAID THEY WOULD DIAGNOSED IT AND GET TO THE BOTTOM OF MY COMPLAINT. I CALLED GM THAT DAY COMPLAINING OF THE SAME ISSUE FROM LAST MONTH. GM REOPENED MY CASE AND SAID IT WOULD BE TRANSFERRED TO ANOTHER DEPARTMENT LEVEL. THE DEALER CALLED ME LATER IN THE DAY AND REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY AND CONNECTORS FREE OF CHARGE AGAIN. EVERY TIME WHILE DRIVING THIS TRUCK I WAS TRAVELING WITH MY CHILDREN AND ALMOST HAD ACCIDENTS WITH THIS. THIS IS UNSAFE AND GM NEEDS TO HAVE A RECALL ON THIS PART AND MODEL OF TRUCK. SOME THING HAS TO BE DONE BEFORE IT BECOMES FATAL!!! HOPEFULLY THIS TIME THE PROBLEM IS CORRECTED. *TR

FIRST INCIDENT: STABILITRAC CONTROL ERROR. NO CODES STORED! SEVERAL CALLS & COMMUNICATIONS POINTED TO THE EGR VALVE. REPLACED THAT ~ $79. SEEMED FINE.... WEEKS LATER, STABILITRAC ERROR AND LOSS OF POWER STEERING WHILE DRIVING. NOT GOOD. ALMOST HAD AN ACCIDENT! STILL NO ERROR CODE !!!! COULD NOT TRACK ANYTHING DOWN... PUT VEHICLE IN SHOP. THEY DETERMINE THAT IT WAS THE POWER STEERING POSITION SENSOR. GETTING FIXED @ $650+ PRICE TAG. CAN'T BELIEVE THIS IS NOT A RECALL SAFETY ITEM SINCE IT SEEMS TO BE HAPPENING NO ONLY TO ME. PLEASE RESEARCH PROBLEM AND HELP RECOUP SOME OF THE $$$$. I DON'T MIND PAYING FOR WORK AND REAL IDENTIFIABLE PROBLEMS, BUT THIS IS RIDICULOUS CONSIDERING THE SAFETY INVOLVED. *TR

I OWN A 2007 CHEVY EQUINOX I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN MY SUV STEERING WHEEL GOT VERY HARD ON ME, COULDN'T EVEN MOVE IT AT ALL, I GOT VERY SCARED GOT OF THE FREEWAY. I PARKED TO THE SIDE TO SEE WHAT WAS WRONG WAITED FOR A BIT STARTED WITH MY VEHICLE AGAIN BUT COULDN'T MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL VERY HARD TO MOVE BY THAT POINT I JUST WANTED TO GO HOME, NO LIGHTS CAME ON TO WARN ME OF PROBLEM. THEN THE TRACKING CONTROL AND STABILITY LIGHTS CAME ON AFTER 45MIN. GOT HOME PARKED THE VEHICLE. NEXT DAY THE STEERING WHEEL WAS OK EVERYTHING SEEMED OK. TODAY (06/25/2013) SAME PROBLEM STEERING WHEEL VERY HARD COULDN'T TURN LEFT NOR RIGHT ALMOST HAD AN ACCIDENT. TOOK IT TO CAR DEALER CHEVROLET WAS DIAGNOSE WITH POWER STEERING MODULE CONTROL PRICE $798.50 THIS DEFINITELY NEEDS TO BE A RECALL. HELP *TR

I NOTICED A GAS SMELL WHEN I GOT OUT OF MY CAR AND WHEN IT IS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR AND THEY LOOKED AT IT FOR ME. THEY TOLD ME THE GAS TANK WAS LEAKING A LITTLE BIT FROM THE TOP OF THE TANK. I THEN DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND OUT THAT THERE IS A RECALL ON THE FUEL PUMP FOR THE SAME REASON. I LIVE IN KENTUCKY AND THE RECALL IS IN THE WESTERN STATES. WHY IS IT ONLY IN THOSE STATES IT IS A DEFECT IN THE PART ITSELF AND I FEEL AS IF IT SHOULD BE REPLACED JUST THE SAME AS THE OTHERS. ALSO I AM HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE STABILITRACK IN MY VEHICLE. A WARNING WILL APPEAR ON THE DASH THAT STATES SERVICE STABILITRACK, STABILITRACK OFF, AND THEN IT WILL STATE ENGINE POWER REDUCED AND THE ENGINE WILL REDUCE POWER. I HAVE SEEN A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE ABOUT THAT AS WELL. *TR

WE WERE TRAVELING 3-28-2013 AND WERE ABOUT A HUNDRED MILES FROM OUR DESTINATION WHEN THE SERVICE STABILITRAC, SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. LESS THAN A YEAR PRIOR TO THIS ON 4-19-2012 WE HAD A SIMILAR INCIDENT, WHICH HAPPENED TO BE THE POWER STEERING CONTROL MODULE. WE MADE IT HOME 4-2-2013 AND TOOK IT TO THE SHOP AND FOUND OUT THE EGR VALVE NEED REPLACING. I REPLACE THE EGR VALVE AND CLEARED THE CODES. ALL WAS WELL TILL 4-7-2013 WHEN THE SERVICE STABILITRAC AND SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS CAME ON AGAIN. I HAVE NOT HAD A CHANCE TO LOOK INTO THIS. *TR
