POWER STEERING QUIT WORKING

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT FUMES WERE EMERGING FROM THE DASHBOARD AREA OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT HAD TO OPEN THE WINDOWS TO AIR OUT THE VEHICLE CABIN. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DEACON JONES AUTO GROUP (1115 NORTH BRIGHT LEAF BLVD, SMITHFIELD, NC 27577) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE HEAD GASKET AND HEATER CORE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 212,998.

PASSENGER AIRBAG SENSOR DOES NOT REGISTER WITH AIRBAG CONTROL MODULE. BROUGHT IT TO CHEVY FOR REPAIR. 600 BUCKS LATER AND A NEW SENSOR, AIRBAG STILL ISN'T RESPONDING. CHEVY TELLS ME I NEED A NEW AIRBAG CONTROL MODULE FOR 700 BUCKS, HAD ALREADY SPENT 1300 ON THAT VISIT. AIRBAG DOES NOT REGISTER PASSENGER, COMPUTER WILL NOT RESET AND SYNC WITH CONTROL MODULE. THIS SHOULDN'T REQUIRE THE ENTIRE MODULE TO BE REPLACED, NOR SHOULD I HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS SINCE THIS I'VE HEARD/READ NUMEROUS CASES ALL DEALING WITH THIS ISSUE ON THE SAME MODEL AND APPARENTLY GM REFUSES TO RECALL (ASIDE FROM THE AIRBAG REPROGRAM WHEN IT FIRST RELEASED) HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM A DEALER, WHO SAID THEY FIXED IT BEFORE I PICKED IT UP. DOES WORK INTERMITTENTLY, WHEN A LARGER PERSON SITS THERE, AIR BAG DOES REGISTER.

EVEN THOUGH MY VIN DOES NOT COME UP AS HAVING AN ISSUE WITH THE PASSENGER AIR BAG DETECTOR IN MY SEAT, IT DOES NOT DETECT WHEN SOMEONE IS SITTING IN THE SEAT AND WILL NOT COME ON.

THE VEHICLE HAS STABLE TRACK LINK ERROR AND WILL NOT GO AWAY! PARTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED, BOTH AFTERMARKET AND SWAPPED FOR GENUINE GM AND STILL THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT IS ON. THE FUEL GAUGE DOESN'T WORK PROPERLY AND WILL JUST AT RANDOM SHOW OVER THE FULL MARK OR UNDER THE EMPTY MARK WHEN I HAVE PURCHASED FUEL ON THE SAME DAY. THE THROTTLE BODY HAD TO BE REPLACED AT 45,000 MILES WHEN THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND JUST SAT ON A BUSY ROAD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY AND THEN REMAINED LIT.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 135,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2007 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO A CONCRETE EMBANKMENT TO AVOID COLLIDING WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE AIR BAG FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED INJURIES TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER AND LEFT ARM THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND TOWED TO A TOW LOT. THE CONTACT CALLED ALLEN TILLERY AUTO (LOCATED AT 4573 CENTRAL AVE, HOT SPRING, AR 71913, (501) 881-4160) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE AIR BAG SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED SINCE IT WAS JUST INSTALLED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 135,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, BOTH THE FRONT AND REAR DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE CURTAIN AIR BAGS DEPLOYED WITHOUT WARNING OR AN IMPACT.

THE LOCAL DEALER (JD BYRIDER, 20941 EUCLID AVE, EUCLID OH) AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE, BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 95,000.

MY PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG DOES NOT TELL WHEN SOMEBODY SITTING THERE SO IF I HAVE AN ACCIDENT THE AIRBAG WILL NOT GO OFF I DON'T THINK THE SENSOR IS WORKING IT HAS BEEN REPLACED ONCE ALREADY. MY KEY GETS STUCK IN THE IGNITION I HAVE TO WAIT FOR IT TO CLICK TO GET IT OUT OF THE IGNITION

"TAKATA RECALL" STABILITY TRACTION CONTROL INDICATOR LIGHTS. NO WARNING FOR BRAKE PROBLEM. THE BRAKES LOCKED UP AND WOULDN'T STOP OR SLOW THE CAR BEFORE ENTERING A CURVE ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY.

AS MANY OTHERS, I NOW HAVE A LEAKING FUEL SENDING UNIT ON OUR 2007 CHEVY EQUINOX. MANY PEOPLE HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM AND CHEVY CHOOSES NOT TO ADDRESS IT FOR US BY ISSUING A RECALL. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS RUNNING THE FUEL SYSTEM IS PRESSURIZED WHICH CAUSES FUEL TO SPRAY OUT OF A FAULTY JOINT WHICH IS MADE OF PLASTIC THAT CRACKS, THE FUEL THEN DRIPS DOWN FROM THE TANK AS IT PLEASES AROUND THE EXHAUST AND ON TO THE FLOOR.

CAR SLOWS DOWN , BRAKES LOCK UP AND GET REAL HARD, CAR WANT MOVE. TRY TO PUT IT IN DRIVE, BRAKES TO HARD , WANT MOVE AT ALL. LET IT SET FOR 35 MIN. THEN CAR WILL MOVE. VERY DANGEROUS, WHEN CAR SLOW DOWN AND JUST STOP, SOMEONE ALMOST HIT ME

NO POWER STEERING, STABILITRAK LIGHT ON, CAR WILL NOT START

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. THE CONTACT NOTICED AN ABNORMAL ODOR OF FUEL EMERGING FROM THE VEHICLE. ADDITIONALLY, FUEL WAS SEEN LEAKING FROM THE VEHICLE ONTO THE GROUND, AND THE CHECK ENGINE, STABILITY TRACK, AND BRAKE INDICATORS ILLUMINATED.

FUEL PUMP FUEL LEAK, VISIBLE LEAK (SPRAYING) ONTO TOP OF TANK WHEN PUMP IS PRESSURIZED.

AIRBAG DOES NOT ALWAYS TURN ON FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE WHEN PASSENGER IS SITTING THERE

I PURCHASED A 2007 CHEVY EQUINOX FROM A PRIVATE PARTY BACK IN JANUARY BUT DUE TO A MIX-UP WITH THE TITLE AND THE PREVIOUS OWNER I COULD NOT TITLE THE CAR AND START DRIVING IT UNTIL MARCH. I'VE NOTICED LATELY A STRONG SMELL OF GAS AND A VERY LOUD CLUNKING NOISE FROM THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT WHEEL. I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL SHOP IN MY TOWN AND WAS TOLD I HAD A GAS LEAK AT THE TOP OF THE TANK AND THAT THE SWAY BAR LINKAGE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED . IN DOING MY RESEARCH I FOUND THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE FUEL LEAK ON THE 2007 EQUINOXES AND THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE SWAY BAR LINKAGE GOING BAD AND THE SERVICE STABLE TRACK LIGHT CONSTANTLY STAYING ON. I ALSO HAVE THE PROBLEM STATING ALL WHEEL DRIVE OFF FLASHING ON MY SCREEN. I FOUND THAT MANY PEOPLE PUT THEIR VIN NUMBERS IN THE SEARCH WINDOW AND FOUND THEIRS NOT TO BE PART OF THE RECALL BUT I'M WONDERING WHY IF MORE THAN JUST THE PREVIOUS RECALLED VEHICLES ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WOULDN'T THEY WANT ANOTHER RECALL ISSUED FOR THE ONES THAT HAVEN'T BEEN REPAIRED. I JUST TOOK IT TO A GM DEALER TODAY IN MY HOMETOWN AND THEY WANT OVER $1,400 TO FIX JUST THE FUEL LEAKAGE PROBLEM I NEED TO KNOW WHAT GM IS GOING TO DO ABOUT IT. I DON'T HAVE 1400 EXTRA DOLLARS TO FIX THIS GAS LEAK AND I'M SCARED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE FOR FEAR OF IT STARTING ON FIRE.

CAR SMELLS OF GASOLINE AND HAS TROUBLE STARTING ON THE FIRST ATTEMPT. CAR WILL START ON SECOND ATTEMPT BUT HAS A VERY STRONG GAS ODOR. AFTER TAKING IT TO A LOCAL MECHANIC, THE CAR WAS DIAGNOSED AS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND IS CONFIRMED TO BE LEAKING GASOLINE. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS EXACT MAKE AND MODEL BUT IS LISTED AS ONLY IMPACTING CERTAIN STATES (ARIZONA, CALIFORNIA, NEVADA, TEXAS) BUT I'M IN NEW JERSEY AND HAVE SEEN IT ALSO REPORTED IN OHIO, SOUTH CAROLINA AND NEW YORK. THIS RECALL NEEDS TO BE EXPANDED AND CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS!!!

AT 100,000 MILES, THE PASSENGER AIRBAG SENSOR FAILED AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO INDICATE THAT THE AIRBAG WAS NOT ACTIVE, EVEN WHEN A PASSENGER WAS IN THE FRONT, PASSENGER SEAT. I TOOK IT TO THE AUTHORIZED DEALER AND REFERENCED # 07V344000 RECALL BUT WAS TOLD THAT MY VIN DID NOT FALL WITHIN THE RECALL, DESPITE THE SIMILARITY OF THE ISSUES INVOLVED.

THE CAR BEGAN TO SMELL OF GAS AFTER RUNNING AND STARTED TO CUT OUT. TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC AND THEY REPORT A CRACK IN THE FUEL PUMP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. WHILE PULLING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT HAD TO APPLY EXTREME FORCE TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. THE VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO BE DRIVEN DUE TO THE FAILURE AND WAS TOWED TO FINDLAY CHEVROLET BUICK GMC (2565 LAUGHLIN VIEW DR, BULLHEAD CITY, AZ 86429, (928) 754-3400) FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING AND REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT SHOWS NOT ON ALL THE TIME-WITH OR WITHOUT PASSENGER IN SEAT. MESSAGE TO SERVICE AIRBAGS ON ALL THE TIME. NOW SEATBELT LIGHT IS FLASHING EVEN WHEN IN USE. SERVICE STABILTRACK LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF. READING ALL THE OTHER COMMENTS I SEE THIS IS A COMMON COMPLAINT. RECENTLY HAD MY CAR IN TO REPLACE FUEL PUMP THAT WAS A RECALL FOR OTHERS BUT A "SPECIAL REPAIR" FOR MY CAR. TOLD DEALER ABOUT PROBLEMS WITH AIRBAG AND STABILITRAK AND WAS TOLD IT WOULD COST ABOUT $150.00 EACH TO DO THE DIAGNOSTIC TESTS. WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE FOR THESE PROBLEMS TO BECOME RECALLS FOR ALL THE AFFECTED CARS?

THE FRONT SEAT PASSENGER AIR BAG WILL NOT COME ON WHEN SOMEONE SITS IN THE SEAT. I GET A SERVICE AIR BAG SYSTEM ON THE DRIVER INFO CENTER. TOOK TO DEALER WAS TOLD COMPUTER SHOWS CODES B0081 AND B0074. WAS TOLD PASSENGER PRESENCE SYSTEM, NAMELY THE SEAT SENSOR WAS BAD AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. REPAIR ESTIMATED AT $1100.00. THIS IS A COMMON COMPLAINT IN GM VEHICLES. THE VEHICLE IS DESIGNED TO HAVE THE AIRBAG DEPLOY DURING A COLLISION CONSIDERING THE USE OF SAFETY BELTS AND DEFORMATION OF THE VEHICLE'S STRUCTURE. SERVICE AIR BAG SYSTEM WARNING LIGHT COMES ON AND STAYS ON WHEN EVER THE IGNITION IS TURNED TO THE ON POSITION. IT DOES NOT MATTER IF ANYONE OR ANYTHING IS IN/ON THE SEAT, OR IF VEHICLE IS STANDING STILL OR IN MOTION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE VEHICLE STARTED TO OVERHEAT. THE VEHICLE WAS PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED BEFORE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS A BLOWN HEAD GASKET. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 96,000.

WHEN ADULT PASSENGER SITTING IN RIGHT FRONT PASSENGER SEAT, THE AIR BAG LIGHT DOESNT TURN ON.

AT A HUNDRED THOUSAND MILES MY CAR DECIDES TO HAVE NO HEAT SO TAKE IT TO A MECHANIC AND HE TELLS ME IT'S A BLOWN HEAD GASKET 2500 TO FIX I BOUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW IN 2007 KEPT UP WITH ALL THE MECHANICAL ISSUES OIL CHANGES THE CAR HAS BEEN GOOD OTHER THAN THIS THIS SEEMS TO BE THE PROBLEM WITH THESE EQUINOXES AS I READ ALL THE REVIEWS

VEHICLE HEATS UP AND CAUSES WATER HOSES TO OVER HEAT AND BUST UP. THIS CAN CAUSE A SERIOUS BURN INJURY. APPARENTLY THIS IS A PROBLEM CAUSES BECAUSE OF THE HEAD GASKETS THAT WERE USED.THE GASKETS GET DAMAGED AND START CAUSING THE LINES TO FILL UP WITH AIR CAUSING ALOT OF PRESSURE TO.MOTOR AND THEN OVER HEATS.ALL THE LINES THAT BRING WATER TO THE MOTER BUSTED AND VEHICLE WASNT EVEN SHOWING TO BE HOT. VEHICLE STILL WORKS BUT CANT BE USED BECAUSE IT OVERHEATS. LINES WERE REPLACED TWICE BUT WILL BUST IF TRUCK IS TURNED ON . HAVE READ ONLINE THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO SEVEREL OWNERS BUT NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. HAVE ALSO XONTACTED CHEVROLET BUT THEY SAID THEY CANT DO ANYTHING YET. WE WERE ON EXPRESSWAY GOING HOME

HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?TIME_CONTINUE=10&V=GDJL1_ROFHE PLEASE WATCH THE YOUTUBE LINK ABOVE TO CLEARLY SEE WHAT HAPPENED. I WAS DRIVING ON A ROAD WITH A 40 MPH SPEED LIMIT. FORTUNATELY NOBODY WAS IN FRONT OF ME FOR QUITE A WHILE BECAUSE THIS VERY EASILY COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A VERY DANGEROUS ACCIDENT. I WAS BEHIND A CAR GOING UNDER THE SPEED LIMIT SO I CHANGED LANES AND SAW THAT A CAR NOW BEHIND ME IN THE LANE I HAD MOVED INTO WAS DRIVING FAST SO I FLOORED MY ACCELERATOR TO MATCH SPEED AND AVOID CUTTING THEM OFF. AT THE POINT WHEN I BACKED OFF THE GAS I NOTICED THE PEDAL WAS STUCK FLOORED AND I WAS ACCELERATING ALARMINGLY FAST. ONLY BY PUMPING THE BREAKS REPEATEDLY AND KICKING THE GAS PEDAL DID I KNOCK IT LOOSE. THE INCIDENT PROBABLY LASTED 2-5 SECONDS AND I PROBABLY REACHED 50-55 MPH. IT WAS VERY FORTUNATE THAT NOBODY WAS AHEAD OF ME FOR A GOOD WAYS BUT IT WAS REALLY TERRIFYING. IF I HAD BEEN APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION OR RED LIGHT OR CROSSWALK OR JUST TRAFFIC UP AHEAD THIS COULD HAVE RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT. I CHECKED FOR OBSTRUCTIONS AND THERE WASN'T ANY JUNK DOWN AROUND THE GAS PEDAL. I STARTED TO THINK ABOUT MY FLOOR MAT AND REMEMBERED THAT I HAD REPLACED IT RECENTLY WITH A THICK RUBBER GOODYEAR MAT. THE BOTTOM OF THE MAT READS "DRIVER SIDE," "50-1000210," AND "JH 1700 K443. PHOTOS ATTACHED BELOW. THE BOTTOM OF THE GAS PEDAL HAD BECOME CAUGHT IN A GROOVE IN THE FLOOR MAT AND STUCK PRESSED ALL THE WAY DOWN. PHOTOS OF THE DOCUMENTATION ON THE FLOOR MAT ATTACHED BELO

AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON ALL OF THE TIME. I TOOK IT TO RK CHEVY WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED FROM TO HAVE THE FUEL PUMP REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY AND THEY DID NOTHING ABOUT AIR BAG LIGHT AND SAID DO NOT WORRY ABOUT IT.

1. THE AIRBAG SENSORY ON THE PASSENGER SIDE GOES ON AND OFF DEPENDING HOW THE PERSON IS SEATED OR HOW MUCH THE PERSON WEIGHS. 2. THE DEFROSTING/HEATING MECHANISM DOESN'T PRODUCE WARM ENOUGH AIR TO CLEAR THE WINDOWS FOR CLEAR VISIBILITY..

GOOD MORNING, I AM WRITING FROM GUATEMALA CITY, GUATEMALA C.A. I BOUGHT, FROM THE LOCAL DEALER, COFIO STAHL, THE EQUINOX 2007 ON JUNE 2007. APPROXIMATELY 5 YEARS AGO MY VEHICLE SHOWED AN AIRBAG SYSTEM ' PASSENGER SENSING PROBLEM, WHICH WAS OVERLOOKED BY THE DEALER, EVEN THOUGH THEY HAD MY CAR ON THEIR WORKSHOPS AT LEAST TWICE A YEAR SINCE 2008 FOR MAINTENANCE AND OIL CHANGE. RECENTLY I FOUND ON THE WEB THE FMVSS NONCOMPLIANCE RECALL, BULLETIN 07174 DATED AUGUST 2007, WHICH CLEARLY INDICATES THAT THE PROBLEM OF MY VEHICLE IS DUE TO A GM SAFETY RECALL. HAVING HANDED THE BULLETIN TO THE LOCAL GM DEALER, THEY RELUCTANTLY PERFORMED THE SERVICE PROCEDURE AS INDICATED, HOWEVER THE PROBLEM WAS NOT SOLVED AND THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO PURSUE WITH THE SOLUTION AT NO CHARGE, NEITHER WILL THEY RECEIVE MY CAR AS PARTIAL PAYMENT FOR ANOTHER VEHICLE. I TOOK THE LIBERTY OF WRITING TO YOU IN THE HOPE TO FIND A SOLUTION, SINCE NOW I AM STUCK WITH A CAR THAT THE DEALER WOULD NOT RECEIVE AND I CANNOT SELL IF THE PROBLEM IS NOT SOLVED. THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR REPLY

THERE SEEMS TO BE A LEAK IN THE FUEL LINE. THERE IS A SMELL OF GAS INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE WHEN STATIONARY AND WHILE DRIVING, WHICH BEGAN IN APPROXIMATELY MARCH 2017.

LESS THAN 4,000 MILES DRIVEN AFTER I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AS IT WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF 2ND GEAR. THE HEATER CORE ALSO EXPLODED ON THE WAY TO THE DEALERSHIP TO ASSESS THE TRANSMISSION ISSUES.

"TAKATA RECALL" MY POWER STEERING QUIT UNTIL I STOPPED AND TURNED THE ENGINE OF AND STARTED IT AGAIN. VERY SCARY THING. MY CAR ONLY HAS 45000 MILES ON IT.

OUR 2007 CHEVY EQUINOX FUEL PUMP RETURN STARTED LEAKING FUEL ON THE TOP OF THE FUEL PUMP CAUSING FUEL TO LEAK ON THE GROUND AND RELEASES STRONG GAS FUMES WHILE PARKED IN OUR GARAGE. THIS VEHICLE IS UNDER CURRENT SAFETY RECALL IN OTHER STATES BUT NOT IN INDIANA. WHY ARE ONLY SOME STATES UNDER RECALL BUT NOT INDIANA?

I STARTED SMELLING GAS ODOR WHEN EXITING THE VEHICLE , I CHECKED AROUND THE VEHICLE DID NOT SEE ANY GAS SPILLING ANYWHERE, CHECKED UNDER THE VEHICLE NOTICED THE FUEL TANK WAS WET ON THE BACKSIDE , THE GAS IS COMING FROM THE TOP OF THE FUEL TANK..I NOTICED THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS MODEL VEHICLE AND CHECKED AND SAID THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT UNDER THE RECALL...WHY? IT SOUNDS LIKE THE SAME THING EVERYONE ELSE IS HAVING THE SAME THING HAPPEN AND THE RECALL IS FIXING THE PROBLEM..

MY CAR JUST RECENTLY STARTED TO SMELL LIKE GAS. AT FIRST, IT WAS A FAINT SMELL. NOW IT IS STRONGER. I CAN STILL DRIVE THE VEHICLE BUT I FEEL AS IF IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD. I HAVE TWO SMALL CHILDREN THAT RIDE IN THIS VEHICLE. MY GAS METER STILL WORKS AND MY RANGE IS ACCURATE BUT THE GAS SMELL IS BECOMING VERY OVERWHELMING.

I HAVE HAD A 2005 AND A 2007 CHEVROLET EQUINOX BOTH WERE IN ACCIDENTS AND THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY . THE 2005 WAS A REAR END CRASH THE CAR THAT HIT ME WAS TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH. THE SECOND ACCIDENT WAS A FRONTAL CRASH I SWERVED TO MISS HITTING A DOG AND CHILDREN GOING ON THE ROAD. THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP AND HIT A TREE. I HAVE HAD 3 EQUINOX ALL HAVE IGNITION SWITCH PROBLEMS. THE ONE I HAVE NOW HAS MAJOR TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS.IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP NOW FOR 8 WEEKS.

TRANSMISSION WENT BAD AT 100 THOUSAND MILES BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR 8 WEEKS NOW.SHOP MANAGER SAYS THEY ARE HAVING A HARD TIME FINDING PARTS FOR THE TRANSMISSION.
