2007 Chevrolet Equinox

VERY STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE FUMES COMING FROM RIGHT REAR OF VEHICLE. DISCOVERED A PUDDLE OF GASOLINE DIRECTLY UNDER THE GAS TANK- THE FUEL WAS LEAKING FROM ABOVE AND DRIPPING ALONG THE SIDE OF THE TANK. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO DEALER FOR SERVICE AND THEY FOUND THAT THE FUEL PUMP MODULE WAS LEAKING. FUEL PUMP/HOSE ASSEMBLY WAS REPLACED UNDER POWERTRAIN WARRANTY AT NO COST. CLEARLY A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR FIRE. WITH TWO YOUNG CHILDREN THAT RIDE IN THIS CAR I FIND IT VERY CONCERNING THAT THERE ARE SO MANY SIMILAR FUEL LEAK COMPLAINTS WITH THIS VEHICLE AND NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AN OVERPOWERING ODOR OF GASOLINE WAS EMITTED INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE FAILURE AND OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE WHO STATED THAT THE CONTACT SHOULD TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 67,000.

I HAVE HAD MY EQUINOX SINCE 2008; IT IS A 2007 MODEL. I HAVE HAD CONTINUAL REPAIRS ON THE ELECTRICAL REAR LIGHTS AND THE BELT TENSIONER, BUT THIS NEXT REPAIR IS BY FAR THE WORST. WHEN THE CAR WAS IN PARK POSITION THE ODOR OF GASOLINE WAS STRONG AROUND THE PERIMETER OF THE CAR. WHEN DRIVING, THE SMELL OF GAS CIRCULATED INTO THE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM PENETRATING THE INSIDE OF THE CAR. THE SMELL WAS STRONGEST ON THE OUTER SIDE BY THE GAS TANK. I TOOK THE CAR TO GET A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND FOUND A LEAK ABOVE THE GAS TANK. FURTHER INSPECTION REVEALED THE FUEL PUMP WAS LEAKING GASOLINE, ABOUT SIX INCHES FROM THE MUFFLER. THIS DEFECT COULD HAVE RESULTED IN SERIOUS INJURY OR FATALITIES AS I REGULARLY CARRY CHILDREN IN THE BACK SEAT. THIS CAR IS ONLY 5 YEARS OLD AND IT SEEMS TO REQUIRE TOO MANY REPAIRS FOR THE FEW YEARS/MILES IT HAS TRAVELED. AS A THOUGHTFUL VEHICLE OWNER, I TAKE PRECAUTIONS TO PRESERVE THE LIFE OF MY VEHICLE THROUGH REGULAR MAINTENANCE AND COVERED STORAGE FROM NATURAL ELEMENTS. CERTAINLY THESE KINDS OF DEFECTS ARE NOT AN EXPECTED OCCURRENCE IN THIS KIND OF VEHICLE. DISAPPOINTED EQUINOX OWNER :( *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.

NOTICED A STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE EMINATING FROM THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE EXTERIOR OF THE CAR LAST WEEK. AFTER NOT USING THE CAR FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS - THE PROBLEM REOCCURED THIS MORNING. I DID A QUICK SEARCH ONLINE AND FOUND ALOT OF COMPLAINTS RELATING TO FUEL LEAKS / FUEL PUMP / FUEL MODULE PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH THE 2007 EQUINOX. I CALLED MY LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS NO RECALL AT THIS TIME AND ALL REPAIRS ARE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE OWNER. *TR

MY 07 CHEVY EQUINOX IS LEAKING FROM THE GAS TANK ON THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR. A VERY STRONG ODOR IS COMING INTO THE CAR I CALLED THE LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THIS WAS A ON GOING PROBLEM WITH THIS YEAR EQUINOX BUT IT HASN'T BEEN RE CALLED . I LOOKED UP THIS PROBLEM AND THERE'S A TON OF CARS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM THIS IS SO DANGEROUS TO HAVE. I HAVE COUNTED OVER 200 OTHER COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME PROBLEM, ON THE SAME MODEL YEAR ON VARIOUS OTHER AUTOMOTIVE HELP SITES. I FEEL THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS DEFECT PUTTING HUMAN LIFE'S IN JEOPARDY. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND CAN RESULT IN THE VEHICLE CATCHING ON FIRE IF SOMEONE FLICKS A CIGARETTE OR THERE IS A REAR END OR PASSENGER SIDE COLLISION. *TR
