2007 Chevrolet Equinox complaints

GAS LEAKING FROM FUEL TANK SOMEWHERE ON THE TOP OF TANK OR HOSES OF FUEL SYSTEM. WHICH CAN CAUSE AUTO TO CATCH ON FIRE SHOULD SOMEONE TOSS A CIGARETTE OUT THE WINDOW ON HIGHWAY. CHECKED ONLINE IT USUALLY HAPPENS AFTER WARRANTY IS UP. WAS AT DEALER GETTING OIL CHANGE WHEN NOTIFIED. *TR

I WAS DRIVING THE TRUCK AND IT JUST SHUT DOWN ON ME. SINCE THEN I HAVE GOTTEN A NEW ALTERNATOR, STARTER, BATTER, BATTERY CABLES, FUSES, EGR VALVE, AND POWER RELAY SWITCH. THE CAR IS STILL NOT HOLDING A CHARGE. *TR

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

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

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

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

MY WIFES CAR STARTED TO SMELL LIKE GASOLINE ON 9/15/11 ON THE OUTSIDE. AT FIRST WE THOUGHT IT WAS MAYBE A LITTLE GASOLINE THAT HAD SPILLED. LATER THAT NIGHT SHE PARKED THE CAR INSIDE THE GARAGE AND LATER WENT BACK TO GET SOMETHING OUT OF THE GARAGE AND IT SMELLED VERY STRONGLY OF GASOLINE. SHE CALLED ME AND WE DECIDED TO TAKE THE CAR OUTSIDE OF THE GARAGE. I PERSONALLY CHECKED THE OUTSIDE OF THE CAR EVERYWHERE FOR A POSSIBLE LEAK AS WELL AS THE GARAGE FLOOR FOR ANY GAS LEAK, BUT FOUND NOTHING. WE STARTED TO WORRY AND IMMEDIATELY WENT ONLINE AND TYPED IN "MY 2007 CHEVY EQUINOX SMELLS LIKE GAS" AND HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS CAME UP FOR THAT SAME YEAR/MAKE/MODEL IN REGARDS TO THE FUEL SYSTEM WITH THE EXACT SYMPTOMS. TODAY 9/16/11 MY WIFE EXPERIENCED THE OTHER SYMPTOM MOST PEOPLE WERE TALKING ABOUT ONLINE WHICH IS THE CAR STRUGGLES TO TURN ON. WE ARE VERY SCARED AND BELIEVE SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE BECAUSE THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. LIVING IN FLORIDA WHERE IT GETS VERY HOT WHEN IT COMES TO GASOLINE IT IS NOT SOMETHING TO JOKE ABOUT. MY WIFE ALSO TRAVELS WITH MY 2 1/2 YEAR OLD AND IT SCARES ME THAT SOMETHING WORSE MIGHT HAPPEN. HOPEFULLY THIS CAN GET RESOLVED ASAP. IN THE MEANTIME SHE WILL BE DRIVING MY CAR UNTIL WE CAN RESOLVE THE ISSUE. *TT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, HE NOTICED A MASSIVE AMOUNT OF FUEL LEAKAGE ON THE GROUND. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHO STATED THE FUEL TANK EXHIBITED A CRACK AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE DEFECT. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 73,000.

RAW GASOLINE LEAKS ONTO THE GROUND FROM ABOUT 12" FORWARD OF THE RIGHT REAR TIRE AND 14" TOWARD THE CENTER OF THE VEHICLE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SRS WARNING LAMP WAS ILLUMINATED. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE WOULD SPORADICALLY FAIL TO START. THE CONTACT ALSO ADDED THAT WHEN DRIVING IN INCLEMENT WEATHER, THE SPARE TIRE WELL WOULD FILL WITH WATER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIRS OR DIAGNOSIS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE WHO DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 32,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 36,000.

MY WIFE STARTED SMELLING GAS AFTER DRIVING OUR 2007 CHEVY EQUINOX. AT FIRST WE THOUGHT IT WAS A POSSIBLE LOOSE GAS CAP, BUT AFTER CHECKING THE SMELL BECAME WORSE OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. I DID SOME FURTHER CHECKING ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND A POSSIBLE PROBLEM FROM OTHERS THAT HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. I LOOKED UP UNDER THE VEHICLE AND FOUND A FUEL LEAK COMING FROM THE TOP OF THE GAS TANK AND RUNNING DOWN THE SIDE NEXT TO THE FUEL FILL NECK THAT'S LOCATED VERY CLOSE TO THE EXHAUST SYSTEM. AT THAT POINT WE STOPPED DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND CALLED OUR LOCAL CHEVY DEALERSHIP AND WHERE TOLD THAT IT WAS MOST LIKELY A FUEL PUMP ISSUE AND WE NEEDED TO BRING IT IN TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT. THE GUESSTIMATE COST IS ABOUT $1000.00 PARTS AND LABOR IF THAT WAS THE PROBLEM. I DECIDED TO REMOVE THE FUEL TANK MYSELF SINCE I HAVE BEEN A MECHANIC FOR 20+ YEARS. I WAS CORRECT THAT IT'S A CRACKED IN THE FUEL PUMP PIPE ON THE TOP OF THE GAS TANK THAT'S PART OF THE FUEL PUMPASSEMBLY. THE LEAK WAS SOAKING THE ELECTRIC CONNECTORS FOR THE FUEL PUMP AND RUNNING DOWN THE TANK NEXT TO THE EXHAUST SYSTEM. I CONTACTED THE LOCAL CHEVY DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT MY VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THEY HAVE NOT SEEN AN ISSUE WITH THIS BEFORE. THE TOP OF THE TANK IS VERY PROTECTED. THERE IS NO SIGNS OF DAMAGE FROM SOMETHING FROM THE ROAD THAT MIGHT HAVE HIT IT OR ANYTHING ELSE THAT MAY HAVE CAUSED THIS PROBLEM OTHER THAN STRESS FROM NORMAL USE. AS I SEARCHED THE INTERNET MORE FOR THIS ISSUE I HAVE FOUND VERY MANY

I BOUGHT A 2007 CHEVROLET EQUINOX IN 2010. IT HAS A PROBLEM WITH SERVICE STABILITRAK AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. I CALLED SERVICE ADVISOR AT CHEVY DEALERSHIP AND NEEDS TO RUN DIAGNOSTIC TO FIND OUT PROBLEM WITH STABILITRAK. THE VEHICLE HAS OVER 71,000 MILES, SHOULD BE COVERED WITH DRIVE TRAIN WARRANTY. I WILL NEED TO PAY FOR DIAGNOSTIC FIRST, THEN THE PROBLEM WILL BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. I FEEL THE WARRANTY FOR DRIVE TRAIN SHOULD COVER THE DIAGNOSTIC CHARGE AND PARTS, LABOR. NOW I CANNOT BRING VEHICLE IN TO SERVICE UNTIL $$ ARE COVERED FOR DIAGNOSTIC CHECK. THE WARRANTY COVERS USED CARS DRIVE TRAIN. LET ME KNOW, AND LET THE DEALERSHIP KNOW ABOUT THIS COMPLAINT. GATEWAY CHEVROLET. 9901 W PAPAGO FWY AVONDALE, AZ 85323, TELEPHONE 623-932-4389. *TR

I'VE HAD JUST EXACT SAME PROBLEM AS THE FOLLOWING OTHER COMPLAINT EXPLAINS... I BOUGHT A 2007 CHEVY EQUINOX NEW. A COUPLE OF DAYS AFTER TAKING IT HOME A STRANGE PROBLEM STARTED OCCURRING, AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM BETWEEN THE LEFT SPEAKERS AND THE DIRECTIONALS. A LOUD RAPID NOISE WOULD SUDDENLY COME THROUGH THE LEFT SPEAKERS AS I WAS DRIVING AND WOULD CONTINUE UNTIL I USED THE TURN SIGNAL (EITHER DIRECTION). THE DEALERSHIP HAS NEVER BEEN ABLE TO LOCATE THE PROBLEM AND I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM STILL. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH WITH THE HEADLIGHTS IN ACTIVATION AND SUDDENLY THE HEADLIGHTS FAILED TO OPERATE. THE CONTACT CONTINUED TO DRIVE WITH EXTREME CAUTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, WHO STATED THERE WAS AN ACCUMULATION OF WATER WITHIN THE LENS OF BOTH HEADLIGHTS. THE TECHNICIAN REPLACED BOTH HEADLIGHT BULBS AND THE WATER WAS DRAINED FROM THE LENS OF BOTH HEADLIGHTS. THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER WERE MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000. UPDATED 8/30/11 *CN UPDATED 10/03/11

I HAVE A 2007 CHEVY EQUINOX AND I SMELL GAS FUMES BUT THERE IS NO LEAK. I STARTED SMELLING THE SMELL OF GAS OVER A MONTH AGO. AFTER DRIVING THE FUMES ARE REALLY STRONG. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE LEAKS JUST THE SMELL OF GAS. THE SMELL IS ON THE RIGHT SIDE WERE THE GAS CAP IS. I CHECKED THE GAS CAP AND IT IS CLOSED PROPERLY. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A MECHANIC AND AFTER DIAGNOSING WITH A SMOKE MACHINE HE FOUND THE LEAK TO BE COMING OUT OF THE PRESSURE RELIEF HOSE BEHIND THE REAR TIRE WALL ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. HE REPLACED THE VAPOR CANISTER ($98.59 + TAX & LABOR) THAT IS SUPPOSE TO PREVENT ANY PRESSURIZED GAS VAPORS TO RECYCLE BACK INTO THE GAS TANK. THE SMELL IS STILL THERE! ANY ADVICE WOULD BE HELPFUL. *KB

2007 CHEVROLET EQUINOX LT, NOTICED RAW GAS SMELL COMING FROM RIGHT REAR OF VEHICLE. TOOK TO REPAIR SHOP AND WAS ADVISED THAT THE PLASTIC GAS TANK HAD A CRACK IN IT WHERE THE NECK GOES INTO THE TANK. UPON CHECKING ONLINE I SEE OTHER PEOPLE HAVING SAME PROBLEM. CONTACTED CHEVROLET SERVICE AND GOT NO WHERE. HAD REPAIR SHOP REPLACE TANK WITH NEW TANK. WITH NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS SEEN ON SAME PROBLEM IT SEEMS LIKE THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH TANK. ALSO IS A SAFETY RISK WITH GAS LEAKING OUT OF SIDE OF TANK FOR POSSIBLE FIRE

ON THURSDAY 14 JUNE 2011 I THOUGHT I HAD SMELL GAS IN MY TRUCK. HAD MY HUSBAND TO LAY DOWN AN LOOK UNDER THE TRUCK AND HE SAID IT WAS WET. THE FUMES OF GAS IS GETTING STRONGER BY THE DAY. I REALLY GETTING AFRAID TO DRIVE MY TRUCK THAT BI REALLY ENJOY DRIVING. IT SEEM THAT THIS HAS HAPPEN TO OTHER. IS THERE NOT BEEN A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE FOR THAT JUST TO HAPPEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IS STRANGE AND DANGEROUS I THINK. WHAT CAN YOU TELL ME THAT MIGHT HELP. *TT

APROX 2 WEEKS AGO I STARTED SMELLING GAS COMING FROM THE BACK PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. SMELL HAS PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN WORSE OVER THE LAST 2 WEEKS. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A CHEVY DEALERSHIP ON 6/27/2011 AND THEY HAVE STATED THAT THEY WOULD NEED TO DROP THE FUEL TANK TO DETERMINE THE EXACT ISSUE WHICH IS ONE OF 3. ONE BEING THE CIRCLE RING ON TOP OF THE TANK, A FUEL MODULE, OR A CRACK IN THE GAS TANK. THEY EXAMINED THE ENTIRE VEHICLE AND THERE IS NOTHING THAT WOULD HAVE CAUSED ANY OF THESE ITEMS TO GO WRONG. I HAVE GOOGLED AND SEEN WHERE THERE ARE SEVERAL CONSUMERS THAT HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUES WITH THEIR 2007 EQUINOX'S. I ASKED THE DEALERSHIP IF THERE IS A BIG RISK IN DRIVING THE VEHICLE LIKE IT IS. THEIR ANSWER WAS THAT ANYTIME GAS FUMES ARE PRESENT IT PRESENTS RISKS. EVERY NIGHT WHEN PARKING THE VEHICLE IN THE GARAGE, THE NEXT MORNING THE GAS FUMES ARE TREMONDOUSLY CONCENTRATED (THIS IS WITH ALL THE GARAGE WINDOWS OPEN TO VENT THE GARAGE). AS OF 6/27/2011, THERE HAS BEEN NO REPAIRS DONE ON THE VEHICLE. I FEEL WITH THE SEVERAL COMPLIANTS THAT I HAVE SEEN FOR THIS ISSUE, THIS THIS SHOULD A SAFETY RECALL IN WHICH CHEVY NEEDS TO CORRECT. *TR

MY MARRIED DAUGHTER(3 SMALL KIDS) RECENTLY STARTED SMELLING GAS AT THE RIGHT REAR OF HER 2007 EQUINOX(74,000 MI). INSPECTION BY LOCAL DEALER REVEALED GAS TANK SEAM NEAR PUMP/SENDING UNIT ASSEMBLY SEPARATED & LEAKING. VEHICLE IS STILL WITHIN POWER TRAIN AND EMISSIONS WARRANTIES BUT GM IS ONLY WILLING TO COVER COST OF NEW TANK(NOT OFFICIALLY UNDER EITHER WARRANTY, JUST AS A "GOOD WILL" GESTURE) LEAVING $500.00 IN LABOR FOR HER TO PAY. PER NHTSA WEBSITE, THERE HAVE BEEN MULTIPLE INSTANCES OF THIS PROBLEM WHICH COULD ONLY BE DESCRIBED AS A COMPONENT FAILURE / MANUFACTURING DEFECT. GIVEN THE POTENTIAL FOR A FIRE AND/OR EXPLOSION, GM SHOULD VIEW THIS AS A POTENTIAL P/R NIGHTMARE AND DO WHATEVER IS NECESSARY TO RECTIFY THE SITUATION(TO INCLUDE A LOANER VEHICLE). LOCAL DEALER HAS BEEN VERY HELPFUL BUT IT'S GM'S PLACE TO DO THE RIGHT THING RATHER THAN TAKING 'PARTIAL RESPONSIBILITY'. TWO OR MORE SIMILAR PROBLEMS REPORTED TO NHTSA HAVE BEEN COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. COMPARED TO THE COST OF A RECALL(OR GOD FORBID, A FIRE), REPAIRING EACH OF THESE AS THEY HAPPEN WITHOUT HESITATION WOULD BE AN INSIGNIFICANT EXPENSE FOR THE MANUFACTURER(AND VERY GOOD LEGAL ADVICE, I MIGHT ADD....) UPDATED 07/20/11 *BF THE CONSUMER STATED UPON FURTHER INSPECTION AT ANOTHER DEALERSHIP, IT WAS IN FACT DISCOVERED THAT THE FUEL PRESSURE LINE AT THE SENDING UNIT WAS CRACKED AND LEAKING. THE PROBLEM WAS CORRECTED AND ALL PARTS AND LABOR WERE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. UPDATED 08/02/11*JB *TR

REAR TIRE WELL FILLED WITH WATER THAT WAS STINKY AND MOLDY. ALL LEAKED INTO THE CAB OF THE EQUINOX, THUS MAKING THE CARPET STINKY AND MOLDY TOO. THERE IS OBVIOUSLY A LEAK SOMEWHERE IN THE HATCH MAKING THE TIRE WELL FILL UP ALL THE TIME. A CO-WORKER OF MINE HAS THE SAME CAR, MAKE, MODEL AND YEAR AND HAS THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

MY HUSBAND HAD HIT A BUZZARD IN FEBRUARY 2010 ON A COUNTY PAVED ROAD WHICH TORE SOME OF THE GRIDDLE ON THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE. THEN ON SEPTEMBER 2, 2010 I WAS GOING TO THE STORE AND THE CAR GOT HOT STARTED TO DIE WHICH THE COMPUTER TOLD ME TO STOP, TURN OFF A/C AND IDLE THE CAR, ALLOWING IT TO COOL DOWN. AFTER 15 MINS I PROCEEDED TO RETURN HOME AND THE SUV GOT EXTREME HOT, STARTED TO DIE. CALLED MY HUSBAND AND HE TOLD ME TO LEAVE IT THERE. HE PULL THE 2007 EQUINOX TO OUR HOME AND LOOK FOR REASON FOR SUV TO GET HOT. WE CALLED THE DEALER SINCE THE SUV WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY AND TOWED IT TO THE DEALER. SEVERAL DAYS LATER WE WAS TOLD THAT A PIECE OF GRIDDLE HAD RUBBED A HOLE INTO RADIATOR AND ENGINE WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACE. STATED THAT THIS WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY SO WE CONTACTED OUR INSURANCE AGENCY. AT FIRST INS AGENCY WAS NOT GOING TO COVER THE DAMAGES BUT WE WERE ABLE TO PROVIDE RECEIPTS ON EVERY MAINTENANCE DONE WHICH THE LAST OIL CHANGE WAS AUGUST, 2010, 30 DAYS BEFORE THIS PROBLEM. THERE WERE NEVER NO PUNCTURE HOLES IN RADIATOR NO OVERHEATING NO SIGNALS AT ALL. AFTER REPAIRS, THE INVOICE STATED THAT "SWAY BAR PLASTIC TRIM RUBBED HOLE INTO RADIATOR." ALSO WE WAS ASK BY THE DEALERSHIP IF WE WANT THE SWAY BAR REPAIR SINCE IT WAS IN NEEDED FOR REPAIRS. TWO WEEKS AGO WE DISCOVERED THAT THE MOTOR MOUNT IS BROKE. THE SUV HAVE BEEN POPPING WHEN BACKING UP OR TURNING SINCE WE GOT THE SUV REPAIRED IN SEPTEMBER 2010. WE DID CALLED GMC AFTER READING THEIR WARRANTY COVERAGE

VEHICLE HAS TEMPORARY LOSS OF POWER FOR THINGS LIKE DASH BOARD LIGHTS, RADIO, POWER LOCKS AND ADDITIONALLY I HEAR POPPING NOISES FROM FRONT END OF CAR AND TO ADD TO THIS FRUSTRATION ON SUNDAY THE POWER STEERING COMPLETELY FAILED WITH NO PREVIOUS WARNING INDICATORS. FORTUNATELY, I WAS IN A PARKING SPACE AND SIMPLY COULD NOT STEER MY CAR TO EXIT. I HAVE HAD IT REPAIRED AT THE COST OF OVER $700.00. *TR

I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH MY 2007 CHEVY EQUINOX SMELLING LIKE GAS INSIDE AND OUTSIDE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE, NO NOTICEABLE DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE, I TOOK IT IN FOR A RECALL ON THE AIRBAG SENSORS AND THE DEALER NOTED THE SMELL OF GAS, I HAVE NO WARRANTY AND CANNOT AFFORD TO TAKE IT TO A DEALER SOUNDS LIKE THIS IS A DEFECT THAT SHOULD BE COVERED BY GMC. IS GM GOING TO WAIT UNTIL SOMEONE'S EQUINOX GOES UP IN FLAMES FOR THEM TO ADMIT IT IS A DEFECT. AND THEY CALLED ME TO TRADE IT IN FOR ANOTHER ONE, NOT. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING AND THE STEERING WHEEL REMAINED STUCK.

I HAVE HAD CONTINUOUS PROBLEMS WITH BRAKE LIGHTS AND TURN SIGNAL LIGHTS GOING OUT.. OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS MY HEADLIGHTS HAVE BEEN GETTING STUCK IN THE BRIGHT POSITION, NOW YESTERDAY ON MY DRIVE HOME SMOKE STARTED COMING FROM BETWEEN MY STEERING WHEEL AND THE DASH; DURING THIS THE BLUE BRIGHT LIGHT INDICATOR WAS FLASHING. I PULLED OVER AND EXITED THE CAR. THE SMOKE DISSIPATED VERY QUICKLY AND CONTINUED THE SHORT DISTANCE HOME WITH NO MORE PROBLEMS... I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP WHO SAID IT SOUNDED LIKE I HAD WIRES "TOUCHING" THEY WANT ME TO BRING IT IN HOWEVER MY WARRANTY IS UP, AND I AM ON A LIMITED INCOME. THIS IS VERY FRUSTRATING CONSIDERING IT SOUNDS LIKE A MANUFACTURE PROBLEM. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE DISPLAYED A MESSAGE THAT THE TRACTION CONTROL WAS OFF, STABLE TRACTION NEEDED SERVICING, AND ENGINE POWER WAS REDUCED.

I OWN A 2007 CHEVROLET EQUINOX WITH 77,000 MILES. AFTER PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT AT A RETAIL STORE, I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND WENT INSIDE. UPON RETURNING, AFTER STARTING THE CAR, I IMMEDIATELY NOTICED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL WAS VIRTUALLY IMMOVABLE. I THOUGHT THE ENGINE HAD STALLED OUT BUT REALIZED THAT IT WAS STILL RUNNING. THEN I NOTICED THE "SERVICE STABILITRAK" MESSAGE ON THE DIC. DROVE THE CAR HOME WITH GREAT DIFFICULTY AND LOOKED FOR THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. ONLY AFTER GOING ONLINE AND READING ABOUT THE SCORES OF INDIVIDUAL COMPLAINTS FOR THIS POWER STEERING FAILURE DID I REALIZE THAT A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM EXISTS. I WENT TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS AND WAS TOLD THE PROBLEM WAS THE POWER STEERING CONTROL MODULE. AFTER PAYING THE REPAIR COSTS OF OVER $660 I ASKED IF THERE WERE ANY RECALLS TO COVER THIS MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. THE ANSWER WAS "NO". IT IS SERIOUSLY UNBELIEVABLE THAT SUCH AN OBVIOUSLY WIDESPREAD PROBLEM HAS CONTINUED WITHOUT SO MUCH AS AN ACKNOWLEDGMENT FROM GM THAT THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM IN AN EQUINOX. HOWEVER, I DID GET SOMEWHAT OF AN ACKNOWLEDGMENT FROM THE SERVICE PERSON AT THE DEALERSHIP WHO TOLD ME THAT THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM. ALL IN ALL, PROBABLY MY LAST GM PURCHASE. *TR

IN JULY OF 2010, I NOTICED THE SOUND OF LIQUID COMING FROM THE BACK THAT WASN'T NORMAL. I JUST ASSUMED AT THIS POINT THAT IT WAS MY GAS AND I JUST NEVER PAID ATTENTION TO IT...I HAD CONVINCED MYSELF OF THAT BECAUSE I KNEW WE DIDN'T HAVE DRINKS OR ANYTHING IN THE CAR. IN DECEMBER, MY HUSBAND ACCUSED ME OF HAVING A MILK CUP IN THE CAR FROM MY SON. NOTHING THERE, NO FOOD OR DRINKS, ETC. AS WE WERE LOOKING FOR WHATEVER WAS CAUSING THIS TERRIBLE SMELL THAT SMELLED LIKE A MILK CUP HAD SIT IN 100 DEGREE TEMPERATURE IN MY CAR, WE NOTICED THE CARPET WAS WET. THE SMELL WAS SO BAD THAT WE HAD TO ROLL THE WINDOWS DOWN AND IN JANUARY WHERE WE LIVE IT IS 10 TO 40 DEGREES, SO EITHER TEMPERATURE...NOT WARM ENOUGH FOR WINDOWS DOWN. I WAS THEN ACCUSED OF SPILLING THE MILK...CRAZY! I KNEW I HAD NOT! I GOT TO READING ONLINE AND FOUND OUT ABOUT THE LEAK IN THE SPARE TIRE WELL. MY HUSBAND FELT SO BAD BECAUSE I DID NOT DO IT! THE WATER WAS STANDING IN MY SPARE TIRE WELL AND LEAKING OUT INTO THE WHOLE BACK FLOORBOARD! SOAKING WET! THAT EXPLAINED WHY EVERY TIME WE RODE THE CAR WE GOT SICK...LITERALLY SICK. FROM UPSET STOMACHS, TO STUFFY NOSES, TO BURNING EYES AND NOSES, ETC...NO KIDDING! MILDEW OR MOLD...IT DOESN'T MATTER! NEITHER ARE GOOD. GM SAYS THEY WON'T PAY FOR OR EVEN LOOK AT FOR FREE. JUST TO HAVE DIAGNOSED IS $80.00 NOT INCLUDING THE REPAIR! THEY SAY I COULD HAVE LEFT THE LIFTGATE OPEN WHEN IT RAINED...OH COME ON!!!!!!!! JUST OWN UP TO IT AND FIX YOUR PROBLEMS! IF THAT WERE THE CASE I WOULDN

STARTED SMELLING GASOLINE AFTER LEAVING MY 2007 CHEVY EQUINOX PARKED FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME. THEN MY EQUINOX HAD DIFFICULTY STARTING AFTER BEING PARKED OVERNIGHT. TOOK IT INTO THE DEALER, AND THEY FOUND A CRACKED FUEL TANK AND A LEAK IN THE FUEL PUMP. THE COST FOR THE FUEL TANKS WAS $1,000, BUT THE DEALER WAS ABLE TO APPLY A ONE-TIME GM SAFETY FIX, WHERE I ONLY PAID $200 AND GM COVERED THE REST. THE LEAK IN THE FUEL PUMP WAS COVERED BY THE WARRANTY. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. IN SEPTEMBER 2010, THE CONTACT DISCOVERED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE TIRE WAS FLAT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE VALVE STEM HAD BROKEN OFF. THE REAR DRIVER SIDE VALVE STEM HAD ALSO BROKEN OFF. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT IT WAS NORMAL FOR THE VALVE STEMS TO BREAK. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 38,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 54,000.

THERE IS AN OVERWHELMING SMELL OF GASOLINE INSIDE THE VEHICLE. PRIOR TO TAKING THE VEHICLE INTO THE SHOP YOU WOULD HAVE TO TURN THE KEY OVER A COUPLE TIMES TO PRIME THE LINE BEFORE IT WOULD START. I WAS TOLD THERE IS A GAS LEAK DUE TO FAULTY FUEL LINES. GM DOES NOT MAKE THE REPLACEMENT LINES SEPARATELY SO THE ENTIRE FUEL PUMP MOST BE REPLACED. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AND A MANUFACTURING DEFECT I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR, UNFORTUNATELY THERE IS NO RECALL SO I WILL BE PAYING FOR IT OUT OF POCKET. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE SERVICE TRACK SYSTEM AND ENGINE POWER REDUCE LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CONTACT STATED THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO MANEUVER. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. ONCE THE ENGINE WAS SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED, THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO BE DRIVEN. THE FAILURE OCCURRED THREE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIANS WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE OR DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND A CASE WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 13,000.

MY 2007 CHEVROLET EQUINOX KEEPS TAKING ON WATER IN THE SPARE TIRE COMPARTMENT IN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. WHEN DRIVING DOWN HILL, THE WATER WILL ENTER THE INSIDE OF VEHICLE THUS WETTING THE CARPET ON THE FLOOR OF THE VEHICLE. HOW THE WATER ENTERS THE VEHICLE CAN NOT BE DETERMINED. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN RESEALED AROUND THE REAR DOOR OF THE VEHICLE AND THIS HAS NOT SOLVED THE PROBLEM. THE WATER MUST BE ENTERING THE VEHICLE FROM THE UNDERCARRIAGE. I HAVE READ COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER 2007 CHEVROLET EQUINOX OWNERS. BASED ON THEIR COMPLAINTS, THEY ARE NOT GETTING ANY RESOLUTION FROM GENERAL MOTORS. THIS MOISTURE IN VEHICLE CAN CAUSE MILDEW TO OCCUR IN THE VEHICLE. THIS CAN BE HAZARDOUS TO THE OCCUPANTS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNED A 2007 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG LIGHT INTERMITTENTLY ILLUMINATED WHEN A PASSENGER WOULD SIT IN THAT SEAT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE FRONT SEAT MODULE CONNECTOR WAS REPLACED. THE FAILURE CONTINUED TO OCCUR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE ENTIRE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT WAS REPLACED. THE FAILURE CONTINUED TO OCCUR. THE CONTACT WAS ALSO TOLD THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA RECALL CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 07V344000 (AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:SENSOR/CONTROL MODULE). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 62,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

ENGINE LIGHT TURNS ON AND SAYS THE STABILITRAK NEEDS SERVICING AS WELL AS THE TRACTION CONTROL AND THAT THEY ARE OFF, ALSO SAYS THAT ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED. THIS HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 5 TIMES IN THE PAST 2 MONTHS AND EACH TIME THAT I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT, THE LIGHT GOES OFF AND THE DEALER SAYS THEY CANNOT DIAGNOSE WITHOUT A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. THIS CONCERNS ME. AUTOZONE HOOKED UP THERE LITTLE GADGET WHILE IT WAS ON ONCE AND INDICATED THAT THE THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR MAY BE THE CULPRIT, SAID IT CAME UP THREE TIMES. POWER STEERING COLUMN LOCKS UP WHEN I TURN ON VEHICLE, THIS HAS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES IN THE PAST 3 YEARS, EACH TIME I TAKE TO DEALER, THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND THEREFORE CANNOT FIX IT. I HAVE HAD VEHICLE SINCE JULY OF 2007. MY CURRENT MILEAGE IS 42,998 THE FIRST ERROR WITH COLUMN STARTED PROBABLY IN OCTOBER OF 2007 AND OCCURS EVERY SO OFTEN BUT BY THE TIME I GET IT TO DEALER, IT CANNOT BE DUPLICATED. WHAT I HAVE TO DO IS TURN THE CAR ON AND OFF UNTIL IT "REGISTERS" AND THEN THE COLUMN WORKS OTHERWISE IT IS VERY STIFF AND HARD TO NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN.

LEAKAGE IN VEHICLE REAR SPARE TIRE WELL. TRANSFERRED ONTO REAR PASSENGER FLOOR/CARPET. ALL WINDOWS FOGGY FROM INSIDE AND MUST KEEP DEFOGGER ON AT ALL TIMES (EVEN IN HEAT) TO KEEP WINDOWS CLEAR FOR VISIBILITY. MOLD AND MILDEW FROM WATER CAUSING ILLNESS IN FAMILY. *TR

THE THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR FAILS AND CAUSES THE CAR TO TURN THE STABILITRAK AND TRACTION CONTROL OFF, AND REDUCING THE ENGINE POWER. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. THE CAR WILL NOT GO OVER 40 AND THE ENGINE REPEATEDLY REVS UP AND DOWN ON ITS OWN. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 25 MPH AND ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN WHEN THE STEERING COLUMN FAILED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO TURN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE DEALER ADVISED HER THAT THE STEERING COLUMN WOULD NEED REPLACING. THE MANUFACTURE ADVISED THAT THEY WOULD TAKE THE LIABILITY FOR THE PARTS BUT THE CONTACT WOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THE LABOR COSTS. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 32,000.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. WHILE THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT INDICATED THAT THE AIR BAG WAS OFF WHILE AN OCCUPANT WAS POSITIONED IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. THE FAILURE WOULD OCCUR WHENEVER THE VEHICLE WAS IN OPERATION AT ANY SPEED BEING DRIVEN WITH AN OCCUPANT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE AIR BAG SENSOR WAS REPLACED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 58,835.

AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT AT ROUGHLY 20 MILES AN HOUR IN A 2007 CHEVY EQUINOX MOSTLY FRONT END AND DRIVER SIDE DAMAGE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. MAJOR FRONT END DAMAGE SUSTAINED. *TR

2007 EQUINOX WITH 69,000 MILES HAD A GAS SMELL OUTSIDE AS WELL AS IN THE CABIN. TOOK IT RIGHT TO THE DEALER ON A FRIDAY AFTERNOON. THE SERVICE SUPERVISOR PUT IT ON THE LIFT AND SAID I HAD A GAS LEAK AND COULD NOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE. INDICATED IT WAS MOST LIKELY THE FUEL PRESSURE MODULATOR. ESTIMATED THE COST OF REPAIR WOULD BE ABOUT $650 PLUS LABOR. I CALLED BACK THAT MONDAY EVENING TO INQUIRE IF THE LEAK HAD BEEN PINPOINTED. GOOD NEWS!!! THE PART WOULD TAKE A COUPLE OF DAYS TO GET IN BUT IT WOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY!!! SAVED ME BETWEEN $1200 - $1500. CHEVY DEALER IN ENTERPRISE, AL IS THE GREATEST! DON'T KNOW WHY SO MANY OTHERS WITH THE SAME TYPE PROBLEM ARE TURNED AWAY BY THE DEALER. *TR
