2007 Chevrolet Equinox

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. THE CONTACT STATED WITH AN OCCUPANT IN THE PASSENGERS SEAT, THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT WOULD ILLUMINATE. THE MANUFACTURER ADVISED THERE WERE NO RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE AND WOULD PROVIDE NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,400 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 52,914. UPDATED 07/19/10 *BF THE CONSUMER STATED THE AIR BAG SHOULD TURN ON WHEN AN ADULT OCCUPIES THE SEAT. SOMETIMES IT WOULD SAY AIR BAG ON, AND THEN MOMENTS LATER IT WOULD GO BACK TO AIR BAG OFF. UPDATED 07/21/10*JB

2007 CHEVROLET EQUINOX SERVICE STABILITRAK, SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL, ENGINE POWER REDUCED,RECEIVED THESE FAULTS NUMEROUS TIMES ALL AT ONCE, CAR HAS BEEN IN SHOP ( DEALER ) NOW GOING ON 5 TIMES, MAIN CONCERN BEING ENGINE POWER REDUCED AND HAS ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHILE MERGING INTO TRAFFIC, THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON NOW SINCE FEB 2010. *TR

STABILITRACK ON THE 2007 CHEVY EQUINOX WILL REDUCE THE POWER TO THE ENGINE AND THE ENGINE WILL CUT OFF WHILE DRIVING, SOMETIMES, LEAVING NO BREAKS TO COMPLETELY STOP. I WAS DRIVING OUT TO LUNCH THE FIRST TIME WHEN I APPROACHED A RAILROAD TRACK WHOSE BARRIER WAS COMING DOWN, AS I WAS ONLY GOING 25 MPH, I STARTED SLOWING DOWN. MY ENGINE CUT OUT BUT THE CAR CONTINUED TO GO FORWARD. THE BREAKS WOULDN'T WORK AND FINALLY GOT IT TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP BEFORE HITTING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME (WHO WAS RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE BARRIER). TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND HAD THEM CLEAN OUT THE AREA AROUND THE THROTTLE SENSOR. APR 08, 2010, I HAD MY CAR DIE ON MY TWICE IN LESS THAN 12 HOURS WHILE DRIVING IT. THE SECOND TIME WAS RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY 4 WAY STOP. LUCKILY, IT CONTINUED TO ROLL UNTIL IT STOPPED A FEW FEET AWAY ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. STEERING WAS DIFFICULT ENOUGH WHEN UPSET THAT YOU MIGHT CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. NOW THE DEALERSHIP WON'T SEE ME UNTIL MONDAY (THIS IS MY ONLY MODE OF TRANSPORTATION) AND I WILL PROBABLY HAVE TO PAY THEM AGAIN TO FIX A PROBLEM THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN SOLVED LESS THAN 2 MONTHS AGO! *TR

I HAVE THE 2007 CHEVROLET EQUINOX WHICH BEEN A LEMON SINCE NEW. AMONG THE MANY BREAKDOWNS OVER THE THREE YEARS THE DRIVER SIDE POWER LOCK DOES NOT WORK AND THE MOST GLARING IS THE SUDDEN FAILURE OF THE POWER STEERING ASSIST MOTOR. MY WIFE WAS PUTTING AIR IN THE TIRE AND THE BATTERY FAILED. THE BATTERY NEEDED A SUDDEN RECHARGE. WHY PAY ON A VEHICLE WITH CONSTANT BREAKDOWNS. THE REPAIRS ALONE ON THE POWER STEERING ASSIST MOTOR ARE OVER 700 DOLLARS TO ALSO GET THE STABILITRAK LIGHT OFF. THE RECALL OF THE POWER STEERING ASSIST MOTOR ON THE CHEVROLET COBALT NEEDS TO EXTEND TO THE CHEVROLET EQUINOX AS WELL. NOW WITH NO MONEY TO FIX THE MOTOR, THE DRIVING HAS AND IS AN ADVENTURE WITH NO POWER STEERING. EVEN IF I COULD FIX THE VEHICLE MYSELF, THE PART IS VIRTUALLY UNAVAILABLE.

I DISCOVERED A SMELL OF FUEL FROM MY VEHICLE. HAD VEHICLE INSPECTED ON 3/25/10 AND FOUND OUT THAT THE FUEL TANK IS LEAKING DUE TO FAULTY MANUFACTURING. THE VEHICLE IS A 2007 CHEVY EQUINOX LT. IT IS JUST BEYOND WARRANTY AND NO EXTENDED WARRANTY WAS PURCHASED. THE FUEL LEAK IS BENEATH THE REAR PASSENGER SEAT. THERE IS NO WEAR AND TEAR TO THIS AREA OF THE VEHICLE. THERE IS NO DAMAGE TO THIS AREA OF THE VEHICLE. THIS VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN IN A COLLISION. THE LEAK IS DUE TO POOR MANUFACTURING OF THIS PART. THERE HAS NOT BEEN ANY INJURY OR FIRE YET. BUT THE POTENTIAL EXISTS.

I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT WERE I STRUCK TWO HORSES THAT RUN OUT INTO THE HIGHWAY IN FRONT OF ME IN MY 2007 CHEVROLET EQUINOX LSI. THE FIRST HORSE STRUCK MY PASSENGERSIDE FRONT QUARTER PANEL AND THIS CAUSED ME TO SWERVE INTO ANOTHER HORSE ON THE DRIVER SIDE. I WAS TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH AND THE DAMAGE TO THE FRONT OF MY CAR WAS VERY SERIOUS AND MY COMPLAINT IS THAT THE AIRBAGS NEVER DEPLOYED DURING THE CRASH. I KNOW THAT THE AIRBAGS ARE SET OF BY SPECIFIC SPEEDS AND DAMAGE BUT MY WHOLE FRONT OF MY 2007 CHEVROLET EQUINOX LS WAS NEARLY REMOVED. I WAS WEARING MY SAFETY BELT AND IT OFFERED LITTLE HELP SINCE I WAS HIT TWICE FROM OPPOSITE SIDES. I WAS TOLD BY RESPONDING EMERGENCY CREW THAT THE AIRBAG MUST HAVE BEEN FAULTY SINCE IT DID NOT DEPLOY. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY 2007 CHEVY EQUINOX, AND I LOST MY STEERING. I HAD TO FIX THE PROBLEM, I COULD NOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE. I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE CHEVY COBALT IS HAVING NOW. I CONTACTED GM FOR SOME ASSISTANCE, AND THEY DID NOTHING. I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT THE CHEVY COBALT MIGHT NOT BE THE ONLY VEHICLE THAT HAS THIS PROBLEM. LUCKILY FOR ME, I DID NOT HAVE A ACCIDENT, OR ANY OTHER ISSUES LISTED BELOW. *TR

CURRENTLY MY VEHICLE WILL NOT START. IT SEEMS THAT THE BATTERY IS FINE AS ALL OF THE ELECTRONICS IN THE VEHICLE ARE WORKING, INCLUDING RADIO/DOOR LOCKS. WHEN THE KEY IS TURNED ALL OF THE ELECTRONICS JUST "CLICK" AND THE MOTOR DOES NOTHING. THIS HAPPENED JUST AFTER CHRISTMAS THIS PAST YEAR AS WELL. LUCKILY AT THAT TIME I WAS AT MY PARENTS HOUSE AND THOUGH JUMP STARTING IT WOULD NOT WORK, WE WERE ABLE TO CHARGE THE BATTERY FOR ABOUT 6 HOURS AND THEN IT STARTED. I HAVE ALSO HAD NUMEROUS PROBLEMS WITH MY RADIO (ACTUALLY ALL SOUND IN THE CAR - INCLUDING TURN SIGNALS) THAT RANDOMLY JUST DONT WORK OR THAT WHEN THE CAR IS STARTED BLAST SOUND FOR ABOUT 30 SECONDS BEFORE THE RADIO RETURNS TO NORMAL - BUT THE SIGNALS STILL PRODUCE A WIERD, SOMEWHAT ECHOING SOUND WHEN THEY DO CLICK. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER BUT THEY ARE UNABLE TO RECREATE THE PROBLEM AND SEND ME ON MY WAY.

SPARE TIRE WELL UNDER THE FLOOR IN THE REAR OF MY EQUINOX FILLS WITH WATER. THIS MORNING IT HAD MORE THAN TWO INCHES. I DID NOT REALIZE THIS WAS HAPPENING AND I DO NOT KNOW WHERE IT IS COMING FROM. MY NEIGHBOR HAS THE SAME PROBLEM AS DOES HIS COWORKER (BOTH ARE FLEET VEHICLES). HE JUST TOLD ME ABOUT IT AND I LOOKED IN MINE. HE HAS GOTTEN A NEW COMPANY CAR AS HE WAS GETTING SICK FROM MOLD FROM THE LEAK. *TR

THERE WERE NO EVENTS THAT LED UP TO FAILURE...THE AIR BAG LIGHT WILL STAY OFF EVEN THOUGH THE PASSENGER SEAT IS OCCUPIED AND ON THE DASH IT WILL READ, " SERVICE AIR BAG." I CALLED GM HOTLINE AND WAS TOLD THAT EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS A TSB FOR THAT PROBLEM MY VEHICLE DID NOT FALL WITHIN THE SELECTED VIN NUMBERS AND WOULD NOT BE COVERED. *TR
