2007 Chevrolet Equinox

STARTED SMELLING GAS IN THE GARAGE, THOUGH IT WAS LAWN MOWER, REMOVED IT, STILL SMELLED, PROGRESSIVELY GOT WORSE, SMELLED AROUND GAS TANK, AND CAUSED ME HEADACHES AND STARTED COMING INTO THE HOUSE. CAR ALSO STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS TURNING OVER (PROBABLY DUE TO GAS NOT GETTING TO ENGINE SO WELL). STARTED PARKING OUTSIDE AND CHECKING YOUR SITE FOR RECALL SINCE I HEARD ONE WAS OUT THERE FOR 2007 EQUINOX, BUT IT ENDED UP MY VIN # AND STATE ARE NOT INCLUDED. I CONTACTED GM AND THEY SET UP APPT. ON 10/29/12 TO EVALUATE AND I TOOK IT IN TO FIND OUT IT WAS THE EXACT ISSUE ON NHTSA CAMP. #12V459000 LISTED ON THIS SITE - WHICH WAS A CRACKED FUEL PUMP MODULE. GM CONTACTED LOCAL CHEVY DEALER FARRELL CHEVEROLET AND THEY WORKED OUT A 50% DISCOUNT ON THE REPAIR. I TOLD THE LADY AT GM THAT I WOULD ALSO ISSUE THIS COMPLAINT SO THAT ALL EQUINOX VEHICLES IN 2007 MIGHT GET INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL, SINCE I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE HAVING THIS PROBLEM AND POSSIBLY I COULD GET THE REST OF MY CHARGES RETURNED IF INCLUDED. THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE AND COULD HAVE TURNED OUT WORSE IF MY HOUSE BURNED DOWN OR SOMETHING. *TR

THE FUEL PUMP AND FUEL LINE FOR THE 2007 CHEVY EQUINOX IS HAZARDOUS. THE GASOLINE DELIVERY SYSTEM IS FAULTY. MY VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 67,000 AND IS LEAKING GAS NEAR THE TANK. IN RESEARCHING 2007 CHEVY EQUINOX ONLINE COMPLAINTS, I HAVE FOUND THIS TO BE VERY COMMON FOR THIS VEHICLE YEAR AND MAKE;HOWEVER,GM HAS NOT RECALLED THIS. MY VEHICLE SMELLS LIKE GAS FROM FAR DISTANCE.AS I HAD TO DRIVE IT BACK TO MY HOUSE IT GAVE ME A HEADACHE, MADE ME SICK TO MY STOMACH AND DIZZY, WHICH IS A HUGE HAZARD WHILE DRIVING YOUR VEHICLE. THERE IS A PAN UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE WHICH HOLDS ON TO ALL OF THE GAS THAT HAS LEAKED OUT OF THE GAS DELIVERY SYSTEM. IF PARKED ON A TILT THE GAS LEAKS OUT OF THE PAN. I AM PREGNANT AND HAVE TWO LITTLE BOYS THAT WERE IN THE VEHICLE WITH ME WHEN THE GAS SMELL TOOK OVER THE CAR. I CALLED CHEVROLET CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEIR IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. WITH SO MANY COMPLAINTS OUT THERE FOR THIS SAME MAKE AND MODEL SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE FOR THE SAFETY OF GM'S CONSUMERS. I UNDERSTAND THAT GM RECALLED SOME CHEVY VOLTS, AND SATURN ION'S FOR THE SAME ISSUE. GM SHOULD CONSIDER ALL MAKES WITH THE SAME HAZARDOUS ISSUE.
