2007 Chevrolet Equinox

07 CHEVY EQUINOX LT- 60000 MILES ON IT. THIS VEHICLE IS ONLY DROVE TO WORK AND BACK. WE GOT TO SMELLING GAS REALLY BAD THURSDAY 09/29 WHEN I WOULD ENTER THE VEHICLE. PUT GAS IN ON FRIDAY 9/30 AND WHILE CAR WAS RUNNING YOU COULD SEE THE GAS LEAKING. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP THEY COULD NOT TELL ME IF THE PROBLEM WOULD BE COVERED UNDER WARRENTY. BUT THEY COULD TELL ME IT WOULD BE $200.00 JUST FOR THEM TO LOOK AT IT, AND IF IT WASNT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY THEN $1000-1500 TO FIX THE PROBLEM. WE CALLED THE DEALERSHIP BACK AND TOLD THEM WHERE IT WAS LEAKING... THE PARTS DEPT ISNT SURE WHAT TO ORDER. IM NOT SPENDING THAT AMOUNT ON AN I THINK THIS WILL FIX IT. I AM ALSO BEING TOLD YOU CAN ONLY ORDER THIS PART THROUGH CHEVROLET. *TT *KB

VEHICLE SMELLS LIKE GASOLINE EVEN AFTER VEHICLE SITS OVERNIGHT. SMELL GETS WORSE AFTER DRIVEN. NOTHING IS VISIBLY LEAKING FROM VEHICLE. I GOOGLED "GAS SMELL 07 EQUINOX" AND AM AMAZED THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH NUMEROUS 07 EQUINOX OWNERS. OF COURSE MY VEHICLE IS NOW 16 DAYS OUT OF WARRANTY, SO ANY REPAIRS FROM GM'S FAULTY PRODUCT WILL NOW BE AT MY EXPENSE. RIDICULOUS THAT IT IS HAPPENING WITH SO MANY VEHICLES, ALL UNDER 100K MILES AND GM HAS YET TO RECALL AND CORRECT THEIR CRAPPY PRODUCT. MY GUESS IS THEY ARE WAITING FOR SOMEONE'S VEHICLE TO CATCH FIRE AND INJURE OR KILL SOMEONE BEFORE THEY TRY TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. NEXT TIME, I WILL BUY HONDA AGAIN. ALMOST 200K MILES ON MY 99 CIVIC AND NEVER HAD ANY ISSUES WITH IT. *TR

MY EQUINOX IS FULL OF WATER WHERE THE SPARE TIRE IS AND IT THE WATER HAS LEAKED ALL INTO THE RUGS. I DID NOT KNOW HOW THIS WAS HAPPENING UNTIL THE PAST RAIN STORM. WHEN WE LOOKED AT THE SPARE TIRE COMPARTMENT IT WAS FULL OF WATER. MY CAR SMELLS LIKE MILDEW AND MY DAUGHTER HAS HAD A HORRIBLE COUGH FOR THE PAST FEW WEEKS. I FEAR SHE HAS MOLD IN HER LUNGS. WHEN I GO ONLINE THERE ARE MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ON THIS SAME ISSUE. IT SEEMS THERE IS A FAULTY SEAL AND IT LEAKS ALL THROUGH THE CAR. IT TOOK YEARS TO GET THE RECALL FOR THE ELECTRICAL ISSUES IN MY CARE THAT BROKE DOWN AT LEAST 5 TIMES FROM FAULTY SPARK PLUGS. NOW CHEVY WANTS ME TO $370 FOR THEM JUST TO LOOK AT THE CAR. PLEASE LOOK INTO AS I CANNOT AFFORD THE COST OF THIS AND MY CAR MAKES SQUISHING NOISES AND SMELLS SO HORRIBLY THAT I PROBABLY CANT EVEN SELL IT. *TR

BAD FUEL SMELL AT THE REAR OF VEHICLE. FUEL DRIPPING FROM FUEL TANK. AFTER REMOVAL OF FUEL TANK A LEAK WAS FOUND COMMON TO PRESSURE LINE CONNECTED TO TOP OF FUEL PUMP. NOTE: THE EXHAUST PIPE IS ROUTED UNDER THE FUEL TANK AND COULD HAVE CAUSED A FIRE. FIRST NOTICED THE CAR WOULD NOT START ON FIRST ATTEMPT. DID NOT NOTICE THE FUEL LEAK UNTIL THE CAR WAS PARKED IN THE GARAGE AND HAD FILLED THE GARAGE WITH FUMES. *TR

HAVE HAD MY 2007 EQUINOX SINCE 2009 WITH A FEW PROBLEMS. STABILITRAC LIGHT COMING ON....A/C NOT TURNING ON....WINDOW WASHER FLUID NOT SPRAYING. BUT TODAY, OUT OF NOWHERE, A GAS SMELL. NO VISIBLE LEAK, JUST THE SMELL. AFTER SEARCHING ON LINE AND SEEING NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM, I WONDER, DO I TRY AND FIND OUT THE PROBLEM THROUGH A MECHANIC AND PROBABLY SPEND A FORTUNE OR WAIT TO SEE IF A GM REALIZES THERE IS A PROBLEM AND WAIT FOR A RECALL. *TR

HUSBAND GOT HOME AND PARKED IN DRIVEWAY. I GOT HOME ABOUT A HOUR LATER AND PARKED BEHIND HIM. WHEN I GOT OUT OF MY CAR I COULD SMELL GAS. IT WAS COMING FROM THE RIGHT PASSANGER SIDE OF HIS CAR. THERE WAS NO GAS ON THE GROUND. I CALLED GM TO SEE IF THIS IS COVERED UNDER MY WARRANTY AND THEY DID NOT KNOW. I WAS TOLD BY A SOMEONE AT GM THAT SEVERAL OF THESE CARS WERE RECALLED FOR THIS BUT MINE WAS NOT ONE OF THEM. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE LOCAL CHEVY DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME IT COULD BE $1000+. I CALLED GM AND FILED A COMPLAINT. THEY SAID THEY WOULD CALL THE DEALERSHIP AND CALL ME BACK. I HAVE NOT YET HEARD FROM THEM. MY HUSBAND HAD TO RENT A CAR IN THE MEANTIME. THIS SOUNDS LIKE A SAFTY ISSUE TO ME. GM SHOULD REPAIR THIS PROBLEM. *TT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. THE CONTACT SMELLED GAS AND TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL PUMP WAS LEAKING AND WAS DRIPPING ONTO THE EXHAUST PIPE, CAUSING SMOKE TO ESCAPE FROM THE HOOD OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

I GOT INTO MY CAR AFTER GROCERY SHOPPING. I STARTED THE CAR, PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE AND TRIED TO TURN. MY CAR WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN, SO I CHECKED MY RPMS TO MAKE SURE MY CAR WAS ACTUALLY STARTED. THE SPACE IN FRONT OF ME WAS EMPTY, SO I PULLED FORWARD AND TRIED TO TURN AGAIN. MY CAR WOULDN'T TURN AT ALL, SO I CALLED MY HUSBAND AND HE CAME AND DROVE MY CAR HOME. WE LIVE ONLY A FEW MILES FROM THE STORE AND THERE IS ONLY ONE TURN. HE SAID IT TOOK ALL OF HIS STRENGTH TO TURN INTO OUR NEIGHBORHOOD. WE HAD THE FUSE TESTED AND IT IS NOT THE FUSE. *KB
