I HAVE A 2007 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. INTERMITTENTLY, THE PASSENGER AIR BAG "ON/OFF INDICATOR SHOWS "AIR BAG OFF" WITH A PASSENGER IN THE SEAT. THIS OCCUR WITH PASSENGERS WEIGHING FROM 100LBS. TO 200LBS. THE ONLY WAY I CAN GET THE "AIR BAG ON" INDICATOR TO WORK IN BY TURNING THE ENGINE OFF AND THEN RESTARTING THE ENGINE. I OFTEN MUST REPEAT THIS PROCEDURE SIX OR EIGHT TIME BEFORE THE "AIR BAG ON" INDICATOR IS ILLUMINATED. THE LOCAL DEALER HAS REPLACED THE PASSENGER AIR BAG MODULE TO NO AVAIL. THEY SAY THAT THIS IS AN ISOLATED PROBLEM & THERE IS NO CORRECTION. THIS OPINION WAS ECHOED DURING PHONE CONVERSATIONS WITH CUSTOMER SERVICE PERSONNEL AT GENERAL MOTORS. I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS MATTER, ON A LOCAL LEVEL FOR APPROX. 18MOS. WITH ANY PROGRESS THIS REPRESENTS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY PROBLEM FOR MY PASSENGERS I'VE SEARCHED THIS PROBLEM ON YOUR WEB SITE & NOTE THAT YOUR RECORDS SHOW 57 COMPLAINTS FOR THIS PARTICULAR AUTO. ELEVEN (20%) WERE FOR THE PROBLEM I'VE DESCRIBED IN THIS COMPLAINT. I BELIEVE THERE IS JUSTIFICATION FOR A RECALL OR OTHER REMEDIATION. INCIDENT HAS BEEN ONGOING SINCE10/08. INCIDENT DATE BELOW IS LATEST INCIDENT. *TR

1997 EQUINOX PASSENGER SEAT SENSOR INTERMITTENT. ROSE CHEVROLET CLAIMS THEY REPLACED THE SENSOR UNDER WARRANTY THAT THEY HAD TO WAIT 3 DAYS FOR. AS MY WIFE WAS DRIVING DOWN INTERSTATE REALIZED THAT HER SISTER HAD NO AIRBAG. THE DISPLAY SAID IT WAS OFF AGAIN. MY WIFE COULD NOT RESET THE PROBLEM AT THAT TIME W/O TURNING THE CAR OFF/ON AND HOPING IT WOULD SEE THAT HER SISTER WAS INDEED SITTING THERE. WILL BE TAKING THIS BACK TO ROSE CHEVROLET IN HAMILTON OH AGAIN. *TR

THE INTERIOR FLOOR OF MY 2007 CHEVY EQUINOX IS WET. THERE IS A LEAK SOMEWHERE IN THIS VEHICLE AND WHEN I GOOGLED "MY EQUINOX LEAKS" THERE ARE MANY OTHERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I NOTICED A SMELL IN THE CAR A FEW MONTHS AGO AND CLEANED THE ENTIRE CAR FROM TOP TO BOTTOM AND FOUND NOTHING THAT WOULD CAUSE ANY ORDERS. THIS ORDER SMELLS LIKE MOLD AND CHEMICALS MIXED TOGETHER. IT IS AWFUL. AS I WAS CLEANING THE CAR TO FIND THE SMELL I NOTICED THE REAR PASSENGER FLOORS WERE WET, NOT DAMP, WET. I HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING TO GET RID OF THE WATER BUT NOTHING WORKS. THE OTHER INTERNET POSITING, WHICH THERE ARE PROBLEM A GOOD 100 OR MORE, ALL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AS MINE. GM HAS IGNORED THEIR REQUESTS FOR HELP. PLEASE HELP US GET GM TO FIX THIS DEFECT. THANK THIS IS A HEALTH ISSUE, THE SMELL THIS PROBLEM IS CREATING IS TOXIC.... *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, A SERVICE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED, WHICH READ "SERVICE STABILITY TRACK AND ENGINE POWER REDUCED". THE VEHICLE STALLS AND STOPS AND, WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE. THE CONTACT HAS TO WAIT AND CONTINUOUSLY APPLY PRESSURE TO THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL IN ORDER FOR THE VEHICLE TO ACCELERATE AGAIN. THE VEHICLE WOULD ONLY TRAVEL APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION AND THEY STATED THAT THERE WERE NO CURRENT FAILURES. NO REPAIRS WERE MADE TO THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT NO COMPENSATION WOULD BE MADE BECAUSE THERE WERE NO DIAGNOSTIC CODES DISPLAYING THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER CALLED THE DEALER AND HAD THE RECORDS CHECKED FOR EACH TIME THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN IN FOR THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 24,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

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). I HAD THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES. FIRST I WAS TOLD THERE WAS AN INTERMITTENT SHORT IN THE RADIO, BUT THE RADIO REPLACEMENT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. THEN THE LEFT TWEETER SPEAKER WAS CHANGED, THE RADIO RECALIBRATED (THREE TIMES), THE RADIO SOFTWARE UPDATED, AND FINALLY THE BODY CONTROL MODULE CHANGED. NONE OF THESE THINGS FIXED THE PROBLEM. THE GM ENGINEER LOOKED AT IT TWICE AND STILL COULDN'T SOLVE THE PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD NO OTHER GM PRODUCT IN THE ENTIRE COUNTRY HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AS MY VEHICLE. WHEN I WENT TO THE GENERAL MANAGER OF THE DEALERSHIP AND TOLD HIM OF THE PROBLEM AND THAT THE VEHICLE WAS A LEMON, HE CONTACTED THE GM DISTRICT REP, WHO REFUSED TO REPLACE THE VEHICLE. I WAS FORCED TO TAKE GM TO ARBITRATION, AND NOW I AM GETTING MY MONEY BACK PLUS MY FILING FEE. THE PROBLEM IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SIGNIFICANTLY IMPAIRS THE VALUE OF THE VEHICLE. I AM TURNING THE EQUINOX IN NEXT WEEK, TAKING MY MONEY AND BUYING A HONDA CR-V. I WOULD NOT ADVISE ANYONE TO BUY AN EQUINOX AFTER MY EXPERIENCE, AND ESPECIALLY GM'S ATTITUDE. IN FACT, I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER GM PRODUCT. IF YOU HAVE HAD YOUR EQUINOX TO THE DEALER AT LEAST 4 TIMES FOR

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.

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 NE

FIRST VEHICLE REPURCHASED DUE TO MULTIPLE EPISODES OF STABILITRAK FAILURE, TURN SIGNALS QUIT WORKING, RADIO PROBLEMS, PASSENGER SYSTEM AIRBAG NOT WORKING, AND FINALLY FAILURE OF MAIN AIRBAG SYSTEM. GIVEN EXACT TWIN OF FIRST CAR, AS THOUGHT THAT CAR WAS JUST A LEMON. 2ND EQUINOX HAD 2 EPISODES OF STABILITRAK FAILURE, AND A NEW STEERING COLUMN PLACED, AND THEN HAD TOTAL SYSTEM FAILURE OF THE STEERING, BRAKES, GAS, STABILITRAK, AND AIRBAG SYSTEM WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. I HAD ABSOLUTELY NO CONTROL OVER ANY OF THESE SYSTEMS! YOU COULD TURN MY STEERING WHEEL 360 DEGREES, AND THE WHEELS NEVER MOVED, THE BRAKES DIDN'T WORK, THE GAS DIDN'T WORK, AND ALL ALARMS WERE GOING OFF THAT THE SYSTEMS, INCLUDING THE AIRBAGS WERE NOT WORKING.

THIS CAR WAS ALSO REPURCHASED. SOMETHING IS VERY WRONG IN THE ENGINEERING OF THIS VEHICLE AND I AM CONCERNED FOR ALL THE OTHER PEOPLE OWNING/DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2007 CHEVROLET EQUINOX FROM JBA CHEVROLET WHICH HAS CONSISTENTLY DEMONSTRATED THAT THERE WERE PROBLEMS WHEN MAKING LEFT TURNS AND FEELING SECURE AND BALANCED IN THE VEHICLE. WHILE I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS, 5-6 TIMES MY CONCERNS HAVE BEEN IGNORED. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THERE WAS NO PROBLEM. I HAVE OWNED AT LEAST 9 VEHICLES IN MY LIFETIME ,AND I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED THE UNCOMFORTABLE, UNSAFE AND UNBALANCED TURMOIL THAT I AM HAVING WITH THIS CAR. I HAVE BEEN ADVISED BY MR. TIRE IN GLEN BURNIE, MARYLAND THAT THE VEHICLE WAS UNSAFE. THE AXLE WAS NOT BUILT TO CHEVROLET SPECIFICATIONS ,AND THE AUTOMOBILE SHOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN SOLD TO ME. WHILE I CONTINUED TO EXPERIENCE THIS CONCERN, AND I AM CURRENTLY CONSIDERING RETURNING THE AUTOMOBILE TO THE DEALERSHIP, AND ULTIMATELY RENTING/LEASING AN AUTOMOBILE WHICH WAS SAFE FOR ME AND MY DAUGHTER. I FEEL THAT I MUST FILE A COMPLAINT AS I PAY A LARGE MONTHLY PAYMENT FOR THIS VEHICLE ,AND I SHOULD BE GETTING MY MONEY WORTH INSTEAD I AM EMOTIONALLY DISTRAUGHT AND LITERALLY AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR. THE ONLY REPAIR WHICH HAS BEEN DONE TO THE CAR TO SUPPOSEDLY CORRECT THE BALANCING ISSUE AND THE TIRE PRESSURE ISSUE HAS BEEN TO REPLACE THE ORIGINAL TIRES. AFTER REPLACEMENT OF TIRES THE PROBLEM CONTINUED TO EXIST, AND I CONTINUE TO FILE COMPLAINTS, HOPEFULLY TO RECTIFY THE SITUATION.*AK
