MY 2007 CHEVY EQUINOX IS GIVING ME PROBLEMS WHEN I AM GOING UP A HILL. MY CAR HESITATES ALMOST EVERY TIME WHEN GOING UP A HILL WHAT I MEAN WHEN I GO UP THE HILL IT IS LIKE MY CAR IS GOING TO SHUT OFF. I HAVE HAD IT TO THE GARAGE SEVERAL TIME IN THE LAST MONTH FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF THE FUEL PUMP AND THEN THE O2 SENOR WENT BAD RIGHT AFTER I HAD THE FUEL PUMP REPLACED IS WHEN THE HESITATION STARTED. THEY JUST REPLACES THE SPARK PLUG AND THAT DIDN'T HELP IT AND THEY CAN FIND ANYTHING ELSE WRONG WITH IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN THE ENGINE WAS STARTED, THE STEERING WHEEL FAILED TO TURN WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER TO HAVE A DIAGNOSTIC PERFORMED. THE CONTACT DID NOT KNOW THE NAME OF THE PART THAT FAILED WITHIN THE STEERING SYSTEM. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURE WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 30,000.

THE VEHICLE JUST STARTED TO SLOW DOWN, IT WAS DIFFICULT TO STEER TO GET OFF THE ROAD. IT FELT LIKE THE CAR WAS LOCKING UP. THERE WAS A STRONG BURNING SMELL. I WAS CONCERNED THAT THERE WOULD BE A FIRE. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT GO BACKWARD OR FORWARD. A TOW TRUCK HAD TO BE CALLED. THE DIAGNOSIS WAS THE POWER BRAKE BOOSTER, WHICH THEY REPLACED. TWO WEEKS LATER THE CAR LOCKED UP AGAIN. NOW THEY ARE SAYING THE ENTIRE BRAKING AND STABILIZER SYSTEM HAS TO BE REPLACED. *TR

I AM SMELLING A STRONG GAS SMELL WHILE MY VEHICLE IS PARKED. I HAVE READ THAT OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE READ THAT IT IS A PROBLEM WITH A CRACKED FUEL MODULE. IS THERE A RECALL ON THIS? I AM ON A VERY TIGHT BUDGET AND CANNOT AFFORD A HUGE REPAIR BILL. I AM GOING TO TAKE IT TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP FOR A DIAGNOSIS AND ESTIMATE FOR REPAIR. IF THERE IS A RECALL, COULD SOMEONE SEND ME INFORMATION ON THIS? *TR

WHENEVER THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT IS OCCUPIED, THE DRIVER SHOULD ALWAYS CHECK THE AIRBAG INDICATOR TO SEE IF THE AIRBAG IS ON OR OFF. IF IT IS NOT CORRECT FOR THE SITUATION, THE PASSENGER SHOULD BE MOVED TO A DIFFERENT SEAT. THIS CAN INCREASE THE RISK OF INJURY TO A SEAT OCCUPANT DURING CERTAIN CRASH CONDITIONS. NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 07V344000 MY FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG SAYS THAT IT IS TURNED OFF EVEN WHEN I AM SITTING IN PASSANGER SEAT, THIS HAS GONE ON FOR SEVERAL MONTHS NOW. IT SAYS "SERVICE AIR BAG SOON" I DID SOME RESEARCH ON THE VEHICLE AND PROBLEM AND IT SAYS THAT THIS IS A RECALL ON THE CHEVY EQUINOX. I CALL CHEVROLET AND THEY SAID THAT MY VIN DOES NOT MATCH ANY CURRENT RECALLS. THANK YOU *TR
