FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
HAVE A 2007 EQUINOX WITH FUEL LEAK AT TOP OF FUEL TANK. DEALER SAYS SAME ISSUE AS THE ONES WITH THE RECALL NOTICE, YET MY VEHICLE IS NOT ON THE LIST. DEALER SAYS $1300 TO REPAIR UNLESS I RECEIVE RECALL NOTICE, BUT IT PROBABLY WOULD NOT HAPPEN. DEALER ALSO STATED HAVE SEEN SEVERAL VEHICLES WITH SAME ISSUE AND NOT ON RECALL LIST. IF SO MANY VEHICLES HAVE SAME DEFECT, THEN WHY ARE THEY NOT ALL BEING RECALLED? DOES THERE HAVE TO BE A FIRE OR EXPLOSION OR FATALITY BEFORE SOMETHING GENERAL MOTORS DOES SOMETHING? *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
OUR 2007 CHEVY EQUINOX DEVELOPED A FUEL LEAK FROM THE FUEL PUMP CAUSING A STRONG ODOR OF GASOLINE WHEN DRIVING AND WHEN PARKED. WE HEARD ON THE NEWS THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON 2007 EQUINOX FOR DEFECTIVE FUEL PUMPS THAT LEAKED. WE CONTACTED GENERAL MOTORS AND THEY INFORMED US THAT OUR VEHICLE WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. WE PAID FOR THE REPAIRS OURSELVES. IS THERE ANY WAY THAT WE CAN BE REIMBURSED FOR THE REPAIR COSTS? WE CURRENTLY HAVE THE DEFECTIVE FUEL PUMP. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE ON 8/26/11 AT GREENWAY CHEVROLET IN ORLANDO, FLORIDA AT 87K MILEAGE. I SMELL GAS COMING FROM THE REAR RIGHT WHEEL AREA AND TOOK THE VEHICLE TO DAVID MAUS IN SANFORD, FLORIDA ON 5/1/12 TOLD THEM TO CHECK VEHICLE FOR THE SMELL AND TO GET AN OIL CHANGE AND TIRE ROTATION. AT THAT TIME THE VEHICLE MILEAGE IS 99883. THEY SAID THAT THEY DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING WRONG TO MAKE THE GAS SMELL. SO I CONTINUED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE WHEN THE SCENT GOT STRONGER AND STRONGER THEN I WITNESS GAS VISIBLE LEAKING SO I TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO DAVID MAUS IN SANFORD FOR REPAIR. THEY THEN CONFIRMED THE FUEL PUMP LEAK.SO I HAD TO REPLACE IT. I ALSO CONTACT GENERAL MOTORS FOR THE FIRST TIME TO ADVISED OF THE FUEL PUMP MALFUNCTION, AND THEY ADVISED THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO AND ITS CONSIDERED WEAR AND TEAR AND NOT A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. NOW THERE IS A RECALL ON CERTAIN CHEVROLET EQUINOX FUEL PUMP SO I CONTACT GENERAL MOTORS FOR THE SECOND TIME AND THEY ADVISED THAT MY VEHICLE/VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED ON THE RECALL. I ALSO OPEN A CLAIM WITH THE BBB (BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU) WHICH CONTACT GM ONCE MORE AND THEY CALL ME AND ADVISED THAT I WOULD NOT QUALIFY FOR ANY REIMBURSEMENT, NOT EVEN UNDER THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY. I FEEL THAT THE RECALL ON THE FUEL PUMP LEAK SHOULD INCLUDE MY VIN# [XXX]. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
