2007 Chevrolet Equinox

I GOT THIS CAR FROM FREDERI K AUTO CENTER IN MARCH. EVER SINCE THEN I HAD PROBLEMS. I TOLD THEM I LET THEM. KNKW ABOUT THEM AND THEY ALWAYS SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH IT. THE ONE TIME THEY WERE SUPOOSE TO FIX SOMETHING THEY HAD THE CAR FOR TWO DAYS AND RHEY PUT TAPE ALL OVER THE HOSES RO STOP THE LEAKS. THEY ALSO FAILED THE MD INSPECTION CONSIDERING MY WIRES ARE MELTED TOGETHER AND MY IGNITION DOESNT WORK RIGHT WHICH WOULDNT HAVE PASS. THEN THEY REPO IT WHEN I WQSNT LATE ON MY PAYEMNT BECAUSE I SAID I WANT IT FIXED SINXE IT WAS SOLS THAT WAY OR I WILL FILE A COMPALINT. EVERYTHING QAS ILLEGAL THATBTHEY DID.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE STATIONARY, THE VEHICLE LEAKED FUEL FROM THE REAR PASSENGER WHEEL WELDS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL ODOR ENTERED THE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 62,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

I CONTACTED GM ABOUT THE ISSUES,THEY MADE AN APPOINTMENT AT A DEALER,WHEN I TOOK IT THEIR THE DEALER REFUSED MAKING UP EVERY EXCUSE HE COULD,CALLED GM SEVERAL TIMES BUT THEY SAY THESE ITEMS WOULD BE FIXED ,IT IS ALL SCREWED UP,GM DOES NOT GIVE A [XXX] ABOUT THESE HAZARDS,PROBLEMS STILL EXIST,REFERENCE NUMBER IS [XXX],THEIR HAVE BEEN RECALLS EXCEPT FOR OHIO,GIVE ME A BREAK,THAT IS THE STUPIDEST THING SINCE THE VEHICLE HAS SO MANY RECALLS...........................TAIL GATE DOOR DOES NOT OPEN,MOTOR IS NOT WORKING,POTENTIAL HAZARD. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

AIR PRESSURE SENSOR ON REAR DRIVER TIRE INDICATED 28 POUNDS. WHEN THE MECHANIC TURNED THE CAP TO REMOVE IT FROM THE VALVE STEM, THE STEM BROKE OFF (DUE TO CORROSION). DEALER SAYS THE WRONG CAPS WERE ON IT IT - IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN METAL CAPS. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE FROM THIS DEALERSHIP BUT THEY SAY THEY HAVE NO RESPONSIBILITY. AFTER GETTING THE SENSOR AND VALVE STEM REPLACED ($86), I BROUGHT THE TIRE BACK AND PUT IT BACK ON. CHECKED REMAINING VALVE STEMS AND ANOTHER ONE BROKE OFF ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE. ANOTHER $85 AND I WILL EVENTUALLY HAVE TO REPLACE THE OTHER TWO. DEALER IS THE ONLY ONE WHO HAS CHECKED MY AIR PRESSURE (DURING OIL CHANGES AND MULTI-POINT INSPECTIONS) AND NEVER MENTIONED I HAD THE WRONG CAPS ON THE VALVE STEMS. I HAVE CONTACTED GENERAL MOTORS WITH MY SAFETY CONCERN. HAD I BEEN DRIVING WHEN THE VALVE STEM BLEW OUT, I COULD'VE EASILY BEEN INJURED OR KILLED. GM MAINTAINS THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS ISSUE AND WILL NOT PURSUE THE ISSUE. I NOT ONLY FEEL THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL, BUT I FEEL THEY OWE MY MONEY BACK TO ME. THIS IS THE FIRST GM PRODUCT I'VE HAD (JEEP/CHRYSLER PRODUCTS IN THE PAST). I'M DISAPPOINTED IN THE EXCUSES THE DEALERSHIP GAVE ME (WRONG VALVE CAPS, MOISTURE GOT UNDERNEATH AND CAUSED CORROSION) AND WITH GM'S RESPONSE, SINCE IT DOESN'T HAVE A RECALL ON IT, WE REALLY DON'T CARE IF YOU COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. I HAVE ALREADY BEGUN TELLING EQUINOX AND TORRENT DRIVERS TO CHECK THEIR VALVE STEMS! SHAME ON YOU GM. *TR

17" ALUMINUM WHEELS FREEZE TO THE REAR DISC BRAKE HUBS, REQUIRING SPECIAL TOOLS OR A SLEDGE HAMMER TO REMOVE. DEFECT MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE TO CHANGE A REAR WHEEL ON THE ROAD IN CASE OF A FLAT TIRE, POSSIBLY STRANDING THE DRIVER IN A REMOTE AREA OR IN DANGEROUS WEATHER CONDITIONS. WHEELS HAVE INSUFFICIENT CLEARANCE AROUND DISC BRAKE BEARING HUB. THIS HAS OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES, DISCOVERED WHEN TIRES NEED TO BE ROTATED. *TR
