I LOST POWER STEERING IN MY CAR. I HAD NO WARNING TO INDICATE THERE WAS A PROBLEM. I WAS DRIVING AND IT WENT OUT. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND I COULD HAVE CRASHED. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON THIS, MY POWER STEERING MODULE FAILED. I HAD TO REPLACE IT WHICH WAS VERY COSTLY. I HAVE READ THAT THERE HAS BEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON THIS YEAR AND MODEL WITH THE SAME ISSUE. *TR

AFTER PARKING MY CAR, I STEPPED OUTSIDE AND NOTICED THAT MY CAR SMELLED LIKE GASOLINE. WHEN I TOOK MY CAR TO THE MECHANIC, THEY TOLD ME THAT THE FUEL PUMP HAD A CRACK AND WAS LEAKING FUEL WHICH WAS CAUSING THE SMELL AND A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION. THE MECHANIC SAID THAT HE HAD SEEN THIS BEFORE WITH OTHER CHEVROLET EQUINOX VEHICLES LIKE MINE. I ASKED THE MECHANIC TO FIX THE VEHICLE AND I WOULD INVESTIGATE IF THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THIS PARTICULAR MAKE/MODEL. IT SEEMS IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND THE VEHICLE WAS PART OF A REGIONAL RECALL BY GENERAL MOTORS. *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

NOTICED A STRONG SMELL OF GAS COMING FROM THE VEHICLE WHEN PARKED. HAD TO MOVE IT OUT OF GARAGE AS SMELL WAS EXTREMELY STRONG AND SPREAD THROUGHOUT MY TWO STORY HOME. I TOOK CAR IN TO INDEPENDENT GARAGE REPAIR FOR SERVICE ONE MILE FROM MY HOME IMMEDIATELY ON 09/27/2013 AT 06:00 P.M. CLOSEST DEALERSHIP IS NINE MILES FROM MY HOME. FOUND THAT THE PLASTIC PART OF THE FUEL PUMP MODULE WAS CRACKED AND COST $545.23 FOR A NEW FUEL PUMP MODULE AND $350.00 LABOR. TOTAL COST INCLUDING SUPPLY FEES AND TAX, $942.06. FOUND OUT THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS VERY SAME ISSUE. I WILL BE CALLING GM FOR REIMBURSEMENT AND CAN ALREADY ENVISION THEIR REFUSAL AS THEY CLAIM THEY MUST INSPECT VEHICLE AND DO THE REPAIR. I LIVE IN TEXAS AND AM THE ORIGINAL PURCHASER OF THIS VEHICLE IN TEXAS. *TR
