2007 Chevrolet Equinox

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VERY FIRST DAY HE TOOK THE VEHICLE HOME, IT BROKE DOWN. ALL THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS ILLUMINATED AND FLICKERED, AND THE VEHICLE WOULD STALL. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE WOULD COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN AND LOST ALL POWER STEERING AND BRAKING ABILITY. THE COMPUTER WOULD RESET ITSELF AND THEN RESTART. THE FAILURE WOULD OCCUR INTERMITTENTLY. HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER APPROXIMATELY 14-15 TIMES AND THEY ATTEMPTED TO REPAIR THE FAILURE, BUT IT WAS NEVER REMEDIED. AFTER HE STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS A LEMON, THE DEALER STATED THAT NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. HE CONSULTED THE MANUFACTURER AND WAS INFORMED THAT IF THE DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 6,025 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 10.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. EVER SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED, THE CONTACT HEARD A TICKING SOUND IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. HE STATED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD POOR FUEL MILEAGE. THE CONTACT ALSO HAD TO JUMP FROM THE VEHICLE BECAUSE THE SERPENTINE BELT CAUGHT A WIRE THAT WAS NOT IN A WIRING HARNESS AS IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN. THE CONTACT ALSO EXPERIENCED STABILATRAC FAILURE ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS, WHICH CAUSED THE POWER STEERING TO FAIL. HE HAS BEEN INJURED TWICE BECAUSE THE REAR HATCH DOOR STRUTS FAILED AND STRUCK HIM IN THE HEAD. THE TIRES THAT CAME ON THE VEHICLE WERE SEVERELY WORN AND THE TURN SIGNALS WOULD NOT SHUT OFF. THE TWO FRONT DOORS AND THE REAR HATCH DOOR CRACKS AND MAKES SQUEAKING NOISES. SOME REPAIRS HAVE BEEN MADE; HOWEVER, THE REAR HATCH NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED ALONG WITH THE TICKING SOUND IN THE ENGINE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 170 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 26,000.

2007 CHEVROLET EQUINOX WITH SEVERAL ISSUES. CONSUMER STATES THAT THE STEERING WHEEL STOPPED WORKING, WON'T TURN OR ALLOW HIM TO BACK UP. STABILITRAK LIGHT COMES ON. HE WAS TOLD HE COULDN'T LEAVE HIS CAR BECAUSE DEALER NEEDED TO CHECK THE WARRANTY. *KB THE CONSUMER HAD THE VEHICLE INSPECTED BY ANOTHER DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD HIM THE ALARM SYSTEM THAT WAS ADDED WAS CAUSING THE PROBLEM. *JB

THE PASSENGER AIR BAG ONLY COMES ON NOW & THEN. MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THE GARAGE NUMEROUS TIMES. I'VE EXPLAINED WHAT HAPPENS. ALSO HAVE ISSUE WITH WIPES WORK, THEN NOT, BLINKERS WORK THEN NOT, BLINKERS DOUBLE CLICK. RADIO GETS REAL LOUD SOMETIMES, BEEPS WHEN DOOR OPEN REAL LOUD. HAVE REPLACED 3 BATTERIES & TWO STARTERS. BUT EVERYTIME IN GARAGE, HEAR "NOTHING WRONG". I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY CAR. I'M AFRAID IF I GET IN ACCIDENT MY AIR BAG WONT WORK. ALL THIS STARTED SIX MONTHS AFTER BOUGHT CAR. *TR

TOO MANY TIMES TO COUNT THE PASSENGER AIR BAG SENSORS HAVE NOT DETECTED VARIOUS PASSENGERS IN THIS 07 EQUINOX. BROUGHT IT TO DEALERSHIP 2 TIMES INCLUDING ONCE WHEN SENSORS WERE REPLACED, HAVE COMPLAINED VIA PHONE NUMEROUS TIMES & TOLD THEY COULDN'T FIX IT. CALLED GM HOTLINE 02/13/08 & OPENED A NEW COMPLAINT CASE BASED ON THIS & 2 OTHER "UNFIXABLE" PROBLEMS. THEY REQUESTED 1 MORE CHANCE & TRUCK WAS BROUGHT IN 02/25/08. 02/26/08 GM REP CALLED & TOLD ME THE DEALERSHIP LOOKED AT IT & INVOLVED GM ENGINEERS & THAT THERE WAS NO FIX & HE NEEDED TO CALL THE FIELD MGR TO AUTHORIZE A RESOLUTION SINCE TRUCK COULD NOT BE RETURNED DUE TO SAFETY LIABILITIES. 02/29/08 STILL NO RETURN CALL TO GM FROM FIELD MANAGER. GM STATES TO STAY IN RENTAL VEHICLE SINCE TRUCK IS A SAFETY LIABILITY & SHOULD NOT BE DRIVEN. 03/05/08 GM REP STATES THAT, ALTHOUGH HE DOES NOT AGREE, THE FIELD MGR STATED THAT WHEN A PASSENGER IS PRESENT THEY NEED TO WATCH FOR THE "AIR BAG OFF" LIGHT TO BE ILLUMINATED & THE PASSENGER NEEDS TO WIGGLE AROUND AND MOVE UNTIL IT GOES OUT. SHE MANDATED THAT WE RETURN THE RENTAL CAR IMMEDIATELY AS GM WOULD NOT PAY FOR IT & WE NEEDED TO RETRIEVE OUR TRUCK SINCE IT WAS WORKING AS DESIGNED. UNBELIEVING THAT THIS WOULD ACTUALLY BE GM'S STANCE ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY HAVE A VOLUNTARY RECALL OUT ON THIS EXACT ISSUE IN THIS VEHICLE (GM RECALL 07174) I ASKED HIM TO CONFIRM THAT HE WAS TELLING ME TO PICK UP THE TRUCK THEY HAD BEEN TELLING ME WAS UNSAFE FOR PASSENGERS KNOWING THAT THERE WOULD BE A NEED FOR PASSENGERS IN THE VEHICLE, HE SAID THAT WASN'T HIS DECISION & THERE WAS NOTHING MORE HE COULD DO. I HAVE NUMEROUS PICTURES OF THE "AIR BAG OFF" LIGHT ILLUMINATED WITH SOMEONE CLEARLY IN THE PASSENGER SEAT, DATED NOTES DOCUMENTING ALL CONTACT WITH GM ON THIS ISSUE & FULL RECORDS OF THE PREVIOUS REPAIR ATTEMPTS SINCE LAST YEAR. IT'S MY BELIEF THAT NOT ONLY IS GM RECALL 07174 MORE WIDESPREAD THAN THEY ARE ADMITTING BUT I ALSO DON'T BELIEVE THEY CAN DEFINITIVELY FIX IT. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. WHILE DRIVING 90 MPH, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED TO A HIGH SPEED. THE CONTACT DOWNSHIFTED, WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO DECREASE TO AN APPROPRIATE SPEED. THE FAILURE RECURRED WHEN HE SHIFTED GEARS; HOWEVER, HE WAS ONCE AGAIN ABLE TO DOWNSHIFT THE VEHICLE AND IT RETURNED TO A NORMAL SPEED. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE FLOORMAT WAS CAUGHT IN THE GROOVE AND CAUSED THE UNINTENDED ACCELERATION. THE PURCHASE DATE WAS UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 2,160.

I WAS IN AN AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT 1/17/08, STOPPED TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN AND WAS STRUCK FROM BEHIND, PUSHED INTO THE OPPOSING LANE AND THEN STRUCK IN THE FRONT BY A SMALL BUS. MY VEHICLE WAS A TOTAL LOSS. NO AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. I AM CONCERNED THAT WITH THE AMOUNT OF IMPACT FROM THE REAR RIGHT AND FRONTAL COLLISIONS, THAT THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. *CN
