WAS INVOLVED IN A MVA AND DRIVER WAS TRAVELING 50-60MPH WHEN HER CAR HIT THE FRONT END DRIVER SIDE AND AIR BAG FAILED TO DEPLOY. SINCE THEN AIR BAG SENSOR TURNS ON AND OFF WHEN THERE IS A PASSENGER IN THE SEAT . PASSENGER WEIGHING OVER 130 LBS. THIS IS A BIG SAFETY HAZARD AND IS SCARY TO THINK THAT THIS CAR HAS YET TO BE RECALLED!! WILL THE AIR BAG GO OFF NEXT TIME SOMETHING LIKE THAT HAPPENS AGAIN??!! GM IS WRONG FOR RECALLING EVERY OTHER VEHICLE BUT THIS ONE!! POWER LOCKS DO NOT UNLOCK OR LOCK EVER! I ALWAYS HAVE TO MANUALLY LOCK AND UNLOCK EACH ONE. SAFETY ISSUE AGAIN! AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST, THERE IS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE CAUSING EVERYTHING IN THE CAR TO GO OUT EVERY MONTH OR TWO. RECALL THIS CAR BEFORE SOMEONE ELSE GETS INJURED. *TR

I,M DRIVING AND WITH NO WARNING THERE'S NO POWER STEERING AT ALL TILL THIS DAY AND THE DEALERSHIP CAN NOT FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM BUT I READ THAT IT HAPPENED TO LOTS OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME CAR PLEASE DO SOMETHING BEFORE SOMETHING BAD HAPPENS AND LET US KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM REALLY IS SO ME AND MY FAMILY CAN BE SAFE AND WE CAN GET IT FIXED. *TR

PURCHASED A USED CHEVY EQUINOX SPORT 2008 IN AUGUST 2013(8 MONTHS AFTER THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY) I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WITH MY 3 CHILDREN IN THE CAR AND MY CAR STOPPED GOING FORWARD, SCARY WHEN YOU HAVE 3 KIDS IN THE CAR AND IT JUST STOPS GOING. THANK GOD WE DIDN'T WRECK BUT THERE WAS NO WARNING AT ALL, NO DUMMY LIGHTS ON THE DASH CAME ON, NO JERKING BEFORE HAND, NOTHING EVEN WHEN IT STOPPED MOVING, ACTUALLY JUST HAD A TUNE UP DONE ON THE CAR LESS THAN A MONTH AGO. THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO SIGNS & SYMPTOMS OF THIS GOING TO HAPPEN. I AM A SINGLE MOM AND CAN'T AFFORD REPAIRS RANGING FROM $1700-3500. I FEEL LIKE WITH SO MANY REPORTED TROUBLES WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND PARTS ASSOCIATED THERE SHOULD BE SOME SORT OF RESOLUTION THROUGH GM OR RECALL ON THEM. *TR
