2007 Chevrolet Equinox

ON 1/28/13 I REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY AT GM CERTIFIED DEALER. TRUCK WAS DIAGNOSED WITH CODE P2135 FOR FAILED THROTTLE BODY AND CONNECTOR. WHILE DRIVING MY 2007 CHEVY EQUINOX IT DISPLAYED SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL, SERVICE STABILTRAK, ENGINE POWER REDUCING AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. ON 7/5/13 I RETURNED MY TRUCK BACK TO THE DEALER. THEY DIAGNOSED THE TRUCK AGAIN AND REPLACED THE PART A SECOND TIME. NOW ON 8/19/13 THE TRUCK WAS BACK AT THE DEALER FOR THIRD TIME AND SAME ISSUE. DEALER DIAGNOSED MY TRUCK AND COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG AT THE TIME AFTER I COMPLAINED OF SAME ISSUE DISPLAYED ON VEHICLE. 9/11/13 THE SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL/STABILTRAK WITH CHECK ENGINE CAME ON AGAIN. I TOOK THE TRUCK BACK TO THE DEALER AND SHOWED THEM VIDEO OF THE PROBLEM HAPPENING. THIS TIME THEY SAID THEY WOULD DIAGNOSED IT AND GET TO THE BOTTOM OF MY COMPLAINT. I CALLED GM THAT DAY COMPLAINING OF THE SAME ISSUE FROM LAST MONTH. GM REOPENED MY CASE AND SAID IT WOULD BE TRANSFERRED TO ANOTHER DEPARTMENT LEVEL. THE DEALER CALLED ME LATER IN THE DAY AND REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY AND CONNECTORS FREE OF CHARGE AGAIN. EVERY TIME WHILE DRIVING THIS TRUCK I WAS TRAVELING WITH MY CHILDREN AND ALMOST HAD ACCIDENTS WITH THIS. THIS IS UNSAFE AND GM NEEDS TO HAVE A RECALL ON THIS PART AND MODEL OF TRUCK. SOME THING HAS TO BE DONE BEFORE IT BECOMES FATAL!!! HOPEFULLY THIS TIME THE PROBLEM IS CORRECTED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION WHERE THEY STATED THAT THE PASSENGER'S SIDE AIR BAG MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 53,000.

ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO I TOOK MY CAR INTO THE LOCAL CHEVY DEALERSHIP AND HAD THE SENSOR CHANGED FOR THE PASSENGER AIR BAG. A FEW WEEKS AFTER THEY CHANGED THE SENSOR THE PROBLEM RETURNED. IT WOULD NOT TURN THE AIR BAG ON EVEN WHEN A FULL GROWN ADULT WAS SITTING IN THE SEAT. IT DIDN'T HAPPEN ALL OF THE TIME SO WHEN I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND THE SAID THEY COULDN'T REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. AFTER TAKING IT BACK ABOUT 4 TIMES AND THEM NEVER BEING ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM I QUIT TAKING IT IN. LUCKILY THE FIRST TIME IT WAS FIXED MY VEHICLE WAS STILL UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. (THANK GOD I BOUGHT THAT! I'VE SURE USED IT!) NOW THIS YEAR, THE PASSENGER AIR BAG WON'T TURN ON AT ALL EVEN WITH MY 200LB BOYFRIEND SITTING THERE. THE ONLY THING THAT HAPPENS IS THE SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON THE DASHBOARD. I'VE TAKEN IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY'VE DUPLICATED THE PROBLEM AND WANT ME TO PAY $600 TO GET IT FIXED. I DON'T FEEL THAT THE SAME THING SHOULD HAVE TO BE FIXED TWICE IN JUST 2-3YEARS. ESPECIALLY SINCE IT'S NOT A MAINTENANCE PROBLEM. THERE IS OBVIOUSLY SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE SENSOR. *TR

WHILE DRIVING THE CHEVY 2007 EQUINOX, THE BRAKE PEDAL FELT SPONGY, SO I TOOK IT IN TO CHEVY THOROBRED FOR A SAFETY CHECK. I WAS TOLD BY SERVICE THAT IT WAS MY MASTER CYLINDER GOING OUT AND THAT IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I ASKED IF THIS ITEM WAS COVERED UNDER POWER TRAIN WARRANTY; IT WAS NOT.COULD THIS BE DUE TO POOR MATERIALS/ OR SOMETHING HE COULD NOT SAY. I SAID THAT MY AUTO HAD 58833 MILES IS THAT KINDA EARLY FOR SUCH A PART TO BRAKE DOWN? I WILL LOOK ON THE INTERNET TO SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL NOTICE. *TR

FIRST INCIDENT: STABILITRAC CONTROL ERROR. NO CODES STORED! SEVERAL CALLS & COMMUNICATIONS POINTED TO THE EGR VALVE. REPLACED THAT ~ $79. SEEMED FINE.... WEEKS LATER, STABILITRAC ERROR AND LOSS OF POWER STEERING WHILE DRIVING. NOT GOOD. ALMOST HAD AN ACCIDENT! STILL NO ERROR CODE !!!! COULD NOT TRACK ANYTHING DOWN... PUT VEHICLE IN SHOP. THEY DETERMINE THAT IT WAS THE POWER STEERING POSITION SENSOR. GETTING FIXED @ $650+ PRICE TAG. CAN'T BELIEVE THIS IS NOT A RECALL SAFETY ITEM SINCE IT SEEMS TO BE HAPPENING NO ONLY TO ME. PLEASE RESEARCH PROBLEM AND HELP RECOUP SOME OF THE $$$$. I DON'T MIND PAYING FOR WORK AND REAL IDENTIFIABLE PROBLEMS, BUT THIS IS RIDICULOUS CONSIDERING THE SAFETY INVOLVED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE BRAKES MADE A LOUD GRINDING NOISE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSIS BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

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. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER. THERE WAS A RECALL UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 12V459000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE VEHICLE HAD A SALVAGED TITLE AND WAS INELIGIBLE UNDER THE RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

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
