AIR BAGS
THIS VEHICLE WAS SUPPOSEDLY REPAIRED IN A PREVIOUS RECALL, HOWEVER THE ISSUE WITH THE PASSENGER SEAT AIRBAG SENSOR PERSISTS. RECENTLY IT IS INCREASINGLY DIFFICULT TO GET THE SENSOR TO WORK FOR THE FRONT SEAT PASSENGER, AND IT GOES ON AND OFF AS THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN. EITHER THE REPAIR WAS NOT ADEQUATE TO COMPLETELY RESOLVE THE PROBLEM OR NOT ACTUALLY COMPLETED.

STEERING
I HAD MY REAR BRAKES REPLACED AND THEN A WEEK LATER THE SERVICE STABILITRAK LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP I GOT MY BRAKES REPLACED AT AND THE LIGHT WENT OFF AND THEY DIDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THE LIGHT WENT OFF AND ON INTERMITTENTLY FOR WEEKS AND THEN FINALLY TURNED OFF. NEXT I STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS GETTING THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION AFTER TURNING THE CAR OFF. I WOULD HAVE TO TURN THE CAR BACK ON, PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE, AND TURN IT OFF AGAIN TO GET THE KEY OUT SOMETIMES SEVERAL TIMES IN A ROW. NOW I DROVE MY CAR AND PARKED AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE AND THEN I TURNED IT ON A FEW HOURS LATER AND THE POWER STEERING FAILED. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAY THE POWER STEERING CONTROL MODULE IS BAD AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. MY ISSUES ARE THE EXACT SAME AS MANY OTHER DRIVERS HAVE NOTED AND MY CAR IS NOT PART OF A RECALL, BUT THE POWER STEERING SUDDENLY FAILING WITH NO WARNING LIGHT MONTHS AFTER THE DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS FINE AND REPLACED BRAKES SEEMS ODD. THERE IS OBVIOUSLY A DEFECT TO THE POWER STEERING IN THE EQUINOX THAT'S LEADING TO ERRATIC WARNING LIGHTS, KEY REMOVAL DIFFICULTIES, AND POWER STEERING SUDDENLY GOING OUT. CHEVY NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING!

AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S A TAKATA INFLATOR, BUT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE 2007 CHEVY EQUINOX, BUT, FOR SOME REASON THE RECALL DID NOT HAVE MY WIFE'S CAR'S VIN # REGARDING THIS RECALL. SO, HER CAR DID NOT RECEIVE A RECALL NOTICE! WHAT I'M UPSET ABOUT IS, THAT SHE HAS LOW MILEAGE ON HER CAR, AND HAD THE SAME PROBLEM, JUST RECENTLY, AND IT'S THE SAME MODEL AND YEAR, REGARDING THE RECALL, THAT DID NOT INVOLVE HER CAR! I WAS TOLD BY GM, THAT BECAUSE HER VIN # WAS NOT "IN" THE RECALL, THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THAT THEY COULD DO, BUT IF I WANTED TO, BECAUSE IT'S A SAFETY PROBLEM, THAT I COULD CONTACT YOU! AND "THEN" IF YOU TOLD THEM THAT IT WAS A SAFETY PROBLEM, WHICH IT IS, THAT YOU COULD THEN, GET IN TOUCH WITH GM, AND THEY WOULD TAKE CARE OF IT! SO, WHAT CAN BE DONE, THIS SHOULDN'T BE LIKE THIS!!! PLEASE HELP US TAKE CARE OF THIS SAFETY PROBLEM ON MY WIFE'S 2007 CHEVY EQUINOX IF YOU WOULD PLEASE! REGARDING THE NOTE BELOW, MY WIFE WAS SIMPLY DRIVING, AND THE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON, AND THAT WAS IT. WHEN I GOT IN TOUCH WITH GM, THEY DID TELL ME THAT THERE "WAS" A RECALL ON THIS, BUT BECAUSE MY WIFE'S EQUINOX DID NOT FALL INTO THEIR RECALL VIN #, THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THAT THEY COULD DO! IF IT WAS A DIFFERENT MODEL, YEAR, ETC. THEN I COULD UNDERSTAND OF COURSE, BUT NOT WHEN IT'S THE SAME CAR, AND MODEL, THAT THEY RECALLED!!! THANK YOU FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE, IN ANY WAY! *TR

AIR BAGS, SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
THIS VEHICLE IS ONE OF SEVERAL THAT HAVE BEEN REPORTED TO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH WHEEL SPEED AND PSI SENSORS, WHICH THEN CAUSES THE TRACTION CONTROL TO BELIEVE COMPUTER WISE IT HAS NO TRACTION, THEREFORE THE LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON AND THE COMPUTER SOMETIMES SHUT THE TRACTION CONTROL OFF WHEN IT NEEDS TO BE ON. IT ALSO HAS AIRBAG TROUBLE WITH THE PASSENGER SEAT, ALSO LIKE THE RECALL. HOWEVER, DESPITE THE FACT 2007'S WERE ISSUED THIS RECALL, IT'S SAYING MY 'VIN' DOES APPLY TO THESE RECALLS. FIND THAT HARD TO BELIEVE WHEN THESE THINGS ARE MESSED UP. JUST WANT GM MOTORS TO AWKNOWLEDGE IT'S POSSIBLE THAT THIS VEHICLE WAS MISMANUFACTURED.

AIR BAGS
MY DAUGHTERS 2007 EQUINOX , HAS THE WELL KNOWN, PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG SENSOR FAILURE PROBLEM. IN.CASE OF AN ACCIDENT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY. THIS IS AN $800 +/- FIX. SEVERAL THOUSAND EQUINOX, TORRENT, SATURN AND OTHER GM CARS BUILT ON THIS PLATFORM ARE AFFECTED. SEVERAL MODEL YEARS SUFFER FROM THIS AILMENT. "FAILURE OF THE AIR BAG TO DEPLOY CAN RESULT IN INCREASED INJURIES OR DEATH." THE SATURN SKY AND PONTIAC SOLSTICE HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM AND IT WAS CORRECTED RECENTLY UNDER RECALL. IT IS MY OPINION THAT THESE VEHICLES SHOULD BE RECALLED AND THIS PROBLEM CORRECTED.

AIR BAGS
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.
