2007 Chevrolet Equinox

I NOTICED A STRONG SMELL OF FUEL COMING FROM MY VEHICLE, I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED IT AS A PROBLEM WITH MY FUEL PUMP. I LOOKED ONLINE BECAUSE I HAD HEARD OF A RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH CARS CATCHING ON FIRE DUE TO A FUEL PUMP DEFECT AND I BELIEVE MY VEHICLE IS AFFECTED BY THIS SAME DEFECT. I'M IN URGENT NEED OF THIS BEING REPAIRED BUT I'M BEING TOLD THAT THE PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL PUMP WILL NOT BE COVERED GIVEN THE RECALL IS REGIONAL TO SPECIFIC STATES. I AM DISPUTING THIS AS I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY MY VEHICLE CAN'T BE COVERED IF IT IS EXPERIENCING THE SAME DEFECT THAT WAS IDENTIFIED IN THOSE STATES. *JS

I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE SINCE 2009 AND HAVE HAD MULTIPLE ISSUES, RECURRING FREQUENTLY. THE 2 MAIN CONCERNS ARE STUCK KEY IN IGNITION AND STABILITRACK AND ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTIONS. THERE IS A DEFINITE ISSUE WITH THE IGNITION IN THESE VEHICLES, NOT ONLY DOES MY KEY GET STUCK, IT HAS ALSO BEEN KNOCKED OUT WHEN HITTING A BUMP. I OWN A COBALT TOO THAT HAS BEEN RECALLED AND MY EQUINOX HAS THE SAME ISSUES WITH IGNITION THIS IS DANGEROUS AND FRUSTRATING!! IN ADDITION, MY STABILITRACK HAS BEEN SERVICED TWICE SINCE I HAVE OWNED. THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM GOES CRAZY AND LIGHTS UP WITH AIRBAG SERVICE, STABILITRACK SERVICE AND ABS BRAKE WARNINGS. I JUST SPENT 600 ON BRAKES AND ROTORS AND IT STILL LIGHTS UP. THE CAR HAS BEEN CHECKED AND NONE OF THESE WARNINGS ARE ACCURATE. THESE LIGHTS COME ON AND OFF RANDOMLY AND HAVE FOR YEARS. THE FUEL GAUGE WILL ROTATE BACKWARDS. THE OIL INDICATOR THAT TRACKS OIL LIFE RESETS ITSELF AT RANDOM. I AM ANGRY! THESE ISSUES NEED ADDRESSED. ARE WE NOT TAKEN SERIOUSLY BECAUSE NO ONE DIED? THERE ARE MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME NATURE AS MINE AND YET NO RECALL? SAD THAT ACTION IS TAKEN ONLY AFTER SOMEONE IS KILLED! GM NEEDS TO DO RIGHT BY PEOPLE WHO SPEND THEIR HARD EARNED MONEY TO PURCHASE THESE VEHICLES. I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN PRO CHEVY BUT NOT ANYMORE. THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE AND QUALITY SUCKS. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, A STRONG ODOR OF FUEL EMITTED INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE.

ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO I STARTED SMELLING GAS AROUND AND IN MY VEHICLE. AFTER RESEARCHING THE DATA BASE I SEE THAT IS NOT UNCOMMON AND I AM VERY CONCERNED AS TO WHY THIS IS NOT BEING RECALLED. HOW MANY COMPLAINTS NEED TO BE MADE? ARE THEY WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO BE INJURED BECAUSE THEIR VEHICLE CAUGHT ON FIRE DUE TO THIS? THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE FOR SURE. I DID TAKE MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND IT IS THE FUEL PUMP. UNFORTUNATELY I DO NOT LIVE IN THE STATES THAT THE RECALL WAS ISSUED FOR. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE AND EVERY ONE OF THEM IS A KNOWN COMMON ISSUE AND NONE HAVE BEEN SENT FOR RECALL. THIS IS GOING TO COST ME MORE THAN I CAN AFFORD TO GET IT FIXED. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL IN ALL STATES NOT JUST A FEW! *TR
