STEERING
I WAS LEAVING MY DRIVEWAY AND MY ELECTRIC POWER STEERING QUIT WORKING. I ENDED UP IN THE OTHER LANE BECAUSE MY CAR WOULDN'T TURN. LUCKILY THERE WAS NO ONE ELSE USING THAT LANE AT THE TIME. NOW I SEE A RECALL IN THE NEWS IN WHICH GM SAYS THEY WANT TO GET ALL VEHICLES THAT COULD BE EFFECTED, BUT THEY DON'T INCLUDE THE EQUINOX.? *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
MY 2007 CHEVY EQUINOX IS GIVING ME PROBLEMS WHEN I AM GOING UP A HILL. MY CAR HESITATES ALMOST EVERY TIME WHEN GOING UP A HILL WHAT I MEAN WHEN I GO UP THE HILL IT IS LIKE MY CAR IS GOING TO SHUT OFF. I HAVE HAD IT TO THE GARAGE SEVERAL TIME IN THE LAST MONTH FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF THE FUEL PUMP AND THEN THE O2 SENOR WENT BAD RIGHT AFTER I HAD THE FUEL PUMP REPLACED IS WHEN THE HESITATION STARTED. THEY JUST REPLACES THE SPARK PLUG AND THAT DIDN'T HELP IT AND THEY CAN FIND ANYTHING ELSE WRONG WITH IT.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), STEERING
THE VEHICLE JUST STARTED TO SLOW DOWN, IT WAS DIFFICULT TO STEER TO GET OFF THE ROAD. IT FELT LIKE THE CAR WAS LOCKING UP. THERE WAS A STRONG BURNING SMELL. I WAS CONCERNED THAT THERE WOULD BE A FIRE. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT GO BACKWARD OR FORWARD. A TOW TRUCK HAD TO BE CALLED. THE DIAGNOSIS WAS THE POWER BRAKE BOOSTER, WHICH THEY REPLACED. TWO WEEKS LATER THE CAR LOCKED UP AGAIN. NOW THEY ARE SAYING THE ENTIRE BRAKING AND STABILIZER SYSTEM HAS TO BE REPLACED. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I AM SMELLING A STRONG GAS SMELL WHILE MY VEHICLE IS PARKED. I HAVE READ THAT OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE READ THAT IT IS A PROBLEM WITH A CRACKED FUEL MODULE. IS THERE A RECALL ON THIS? I AM ON A VERY TIGHT BUDGET AND CANNOT AFFORD A HUGE REPAIR BILL. I AM GOING TO TAKE IT TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP FOR A DIAGNOSIS AND ESTIMATE FOR REPAIR. IF THERE IS A RECALL, COULD SOMEONE SEND ME INFORMATION ON THIS? *TR

THE STEERING COLUMN QUIT WORKING ON OUR 2007 EQUINOX (CONFIRMED BY CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP). CAR HAD TO BE TOWED BECAUSE OF DANGER WHEN DRIVING. CAR HAS FEWER THAN 50,000 MILES. DEALERSHIP SAID THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM. THE COLUMN WOULD QUIT WORKING AND SIGNAL COULD NOT GET TO STEERING MOTOR. APPROXIMATE COST - 728.00 NOT INCLUDING TOW CHARGE. *TR

AIR BAGS
WHENEVER THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT IS OCCUPIED, THE DRIVER SHOULD ALWAYS CHECK THE AIRBAG INDICATOR TO SEE IF THE AIRBAG IS ON OR OFF. IF IT IS NOT CORRECT FOR THE SITUATION, THE PASSENGER SHOULD BE MOVED TO A DIFFERENT SEAT. THIS CAN INCREASE THE RISK OF INJURY TO A SEAT OCCUPANT DURING CERTAIN CRASH CONDITIONS. NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 07V344000 MY FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG SAYS THAT IT IS TURNED OFF EVEN WHEN I AM SITTING IN PASSANGER SEAT, THIS HAS GONE ON FOR SEVERAL MONTHS NOW. IT SAYS "SERVICE AIR BAG SOON" I DID SOME RESEARCH ON THE VEHICLE AND PROBLEM AND IT SAYS THAT THIS IS A RECALL ON THE CHEVY EQUINOX. I CALL CHEVROLET AND THEY SAID THAT MY VIN DOES NOT MATCH ANY CURRENT RECALLS. THANK YOU *TR

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
THE TRACTION ENGINE AND STABILITY ERROR MESSAGE STAY ILLUMINATED ON MY CAR.THE OTHER DAY I WAS AT AN INTERSECTION WHERE THE CROSS TRAFFIC DOESN'T STOP . WHEN I DECIDED TO GO THE CAR WOULD HARDLY MOVE ALMOST LEAVING ME IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WHERE I COULD HAVE BEEN HIT. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES, IT FEELS AS IF IT'S A FIVE SPED AND YOUR TRYING TO TAKE OFF IN 3RD GEAR...VERY DANGEROUS! I TOOK IT TO A CHEVY DEALER BUT THEY COULDN'T CLEAR THE CODES . SOMETIMES THE CAR HAS POWER AND SOMETIMES IT DON'T. THIS IS MY [XXX] YEAR OLD DAUGHTERS CAR AND SHE DRIVES MY OTHER 4 GIRLS TO SCHOOL . I GIVE HER MY CAR BECAUSE I KNOW THIS ISN'T SAFE. I SEE THERE ARE HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WHO ARE HAVING THESE ISSUES. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BEFORE SOMEBODY DIES! I HAVE ONLY OWNED THIS VEHICLE FOR 4 MONTHS ,THIS IS MY 2ND CHEVY I HAVE OWNED AND IT WILL MOST CERTAINLY BE MY LAST. *TR PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

ENGINE
ENGINE POWER REDUCED LIGHT CAME ON WHILE WE WERE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 55 MPH. MY VEHICLE DROPPED IN SPEED TO 25 MPH AND WOULD NOT PICK UP SPEED. MY FAMILY AND I ALMOST WERE HIT FROM BEHIND BY AN 18 WHEELER. I LOOKED THIS UP ON THE CHEVY FORUM AND FOUND THAT THERE ARE MANY OTHER CHEVY OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. PLEASE LOOK INTO TO IT AND ISSUE A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. *TR

VISIBILITY:DEFROSTER/DEFOGGER/HVAC SYSTEM
HEATER IS BLOWING COLD AIR ONLY. UNABLE TO DEFROST FRONT WINDSHIELD. THIS IS VERY HAZARDOUS, AS MY WINTER DRIVING VISIBILITY IS LIMITED. SUSPECT AIR BLENDER DOOR FAILURE. THIS PROBLEM WAS ADDRESSED BY TSB 11135 (MAY 30, 2012); HOWEVER IT ONLY APPLIES TO 2006 CHEVY EQUINOX. MY CAR IS A 2007 CHEVY EQUINOX. I SPOKE WITH GM AND THEY CONFIRMED THE TSB WAS ONLY FOR THE 2006 MODEL YEAR. MY RESEARCH LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THAT THE 2007 MODEL YEAR SHOULD ALSO BE INCLUDED. MY HEATER PARTS MIGHT BE FROM LATE MODEL 2006. *TR

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), SERVICE BRAKES, ENGINE
I TOOK MY CAR INTO A POWER CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP BACK IN SEPTEMBER, THEY SAID THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL FOR THE COILS/SPARK PLUGS. THEY FIXED THE ISSUE, AS MY CAR HAD BEEN STALLING AS I ACCELERATED. NOW, RECENTLY MY ELECTRIC STABILITY TRACTION LIGHT CAME ON, ALONG WITH MY ENGINE AND "SERVICE BRAKES" LIGHT. I HAD MY BRAKES DONE BACK IN OCTOBER AT THE SAME TIME AS THEY REPLACED THE COIL. MY CAR IS STARTING TO STALL AND DO THE SAME AS IT WAS BACK IN OCTOBER. I AM NOT SURE WHY CHEVY IS NOT RECALLING OR SENDING OUT NOTICES ABOUT THESE ISSUES. IT'S HAZARDOUS. I CONTACTED A LAWYER. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED AND REGISTERED IN MICHIGAN. CAR STARTED SMELLING STRONG OF GASOLINE. FUEL STARTED LEAKING OUT OF THE VEHICLE. NO ACCIDENT OR DAMAGE HAD OCCURRED PRIOR TO THE GAS TANK LEAKING. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THE FUEL PUMP/FUEL MODULE HAD TO BE REPLACED. IT WAS FOUND THAT THERE WAS A CRACK IN THE FUEL PUMP, CAUSING IT TO LEAK GAS AND COULD OF CAUSED A FIRE. THE RECALL NUMBER #12V459000 SHOULD INCLUDE MICHIGAN ON THE STATES LISTED. I HAVE JUST RECENTLY (WITHIN THE WEEK) HAD THIS FUEL PUMP REPLACED, AND THE DEALERSHIP DID NOT KNOW OF THIS RECALL AND I HAD TO PAY TO HAVE IT FIXED. *TR
