AIR BAGS
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

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
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. AROUND 20-25,000 MILES AFTER PURCHASE THE ENGINE COOLANT TEMP GAUGE STOPPED REPORTING TEMPERATURES CORRECTLY AND WOULD REDLINE EVEN IF THE CAR WAS OFF FOR OVER 2 DAYS IT WOULD START UP WAY ABOVE THE NORMAL OPERATING TEMPERATURE. THE FUEL GUAGE NO LONGER CORRECTLY INDICATES HOW MUCH GAS IS LEFT IN THE TANK AND WILL NOT MOVE OFF OF EMPTY EVEN AFTER PUMPING 13 GALLONS INTO THE TANK. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AT A RED LIGHT WHEN HEATER CORE BLEW OUT. VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN DURING TRANSMISSION, TEMPERATURE, AND GAS GAUGE FAILURES.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
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?

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.
