AIR BAGS, SEATS
THE PASSENGER SEAT AIR BAG SENSOR FAILED AND TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM THE ENTIRE SEAT CUSHION AND ELECTRONIC MODULE HAS TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS AN OVER $800 REPAIR AND MY DAUGHTER CANT AFFORD TO HAVE IT FIXED. ACCORDING TO THE DEALER TECH THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON SEVERAL THOUSAND EQUINOX, TORRENT AND SATURN ION VEHICLES. IMHO THIS IS A SAFETY DEFECT AND SHOULD BE REPAIRED AT NO CHARGE.

IGNITION KEY WILL NOT TURN IN IGNITION CAUSING VEHICLE TO NOT START. VEHICLE STATIONARY. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE WE PURCHASED, BUT IS HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY. STEERING WHEEL NEEDS TO BE TURNED SHARPLY SEVERAL TIMES AND GEAR SHIFT MUST BE JIGGLED WITH AND IT WILL USUALLY START AT THAT TIME. VERY SCARY!!

AIR BAGS
PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG WORKED INTERMITTENTLY WHILE PASSENGER WAS SEATED IN SEAT. SOMETIMES ON WHEN NO ONE SEATED AND OFF WHEN SOMEONE SEATED. NOW CHECK/SERVICE AIRBAGS LIGHTS ARE ON AND PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG STAYS OFF WHEN SOMEONE SEATED. I AM NOT SURE IF ANY OF THE AIRBAGS AT THIS POINT WILL WORK BECAUSE ALL AIRBAG LIGHTS ARE ON.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I BOUGHT A USED 2007EQUINOX LAST YEAR (MAY 2015) I KEPT SMELLING GAS AND IT WAS GETTING WORSE, DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THE RECALL, TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC WHICH COST ME $965.00 TO REPLACE. IF THIS VEHICLE WENT THROUGH THE RECALL AND A FUEL PUMP WAS REPLACED, SHOULD IT HAVE BEEN LEAKING AGAIN AFTER 4 YEARS. IT WOULD HESITATE ON STARTING AND DRIVING AND PARKING THE GAS FUMES WERE SO BAD, I KNEW I HAD A LEAK SOMEWHERE, IT WAS LEAKING IN MOTION AND WHEN STATIONARY, WHEN I WOULD PARK IT AND WALK ABOUT THE PARK, THE GAS FUMES WERE THE WORST THERE, STILL COULD SMELL THE GAS IN MY CAR AND OUTSIDE BY THE DRIVERS SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE DOORS.

AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHEN I HAVE A PASSENGER IN THE SEAT THE AIRBAG NEVER COMES ON AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT STAYS ON AND TELLS ME IT NEEDS SERVICE. ALSO ALL MY GAUGES ARE ALL OUT OF WACK NOT SURE IF IT IS A RECALL OR NOT ONCE I HIT 100,000 MILES ALL THESE THINGS CAME ABOUT. ALSO THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE FUEL SYSTEM AND AT THE TIME I DID NOT HAVE A PROBLEM AS OF YET, ON 9/29/15 I THEN SMELLED THE GAS AND CALLED MK SMITH CHEVROLET TO SEE IF THERE WERE ANY RECALLS ON THIS AND THEY TOLD ME NO, SO I DID TAKE IT SOMEWHERE ELSE TO BE FIXED DUE TO IT BEING CHEAPER FOR ME AND GOT IT FIXED AND PAID $633.60. I HAVE DOCUMENT FOR THAT. NOW MY KEY IN THE IGNITION DOES NOT COME OUT AND I HEAR A CLICKING NOISE BY THE IGNITION I'M NOT SURE IF THAT AS WELL IS A RECALL ON THE EQUINOX 2007. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF ANY OF THESE PROBLEMS ARE RECALLS ON MY VEHICLE. I JUST HAVE READ ALL THESE OTHER COMPLAINTS ON THE SAME ISSUES ON THE EQUINOX 2007.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
NOTICED THE SMELL OF GAS COMING FROM MY CAR. ALSO TROUBLE STARTING. CHECKED GAS CAP AND WAS FINE. DROVE AROUND THE REST OF THE DAY STILL VERY STRONG GAS SMELL AND ISSUES WHEN STARTING THE CAR. GOT HOME AND LOOKED UP INFO AND SEE THAT THERE ARE SEVERAL ISSUES. BUT OF COURSE MY VEHICLE IS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST. THERE WAS AN OBVIOUS PROBLEM BUT ONLY CERTAIN VEHICLES WERE RECALLED NOW MINE IS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. SAFELY RISK AND NOT A CHEAP FIX.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE SPEEDOMETER ON MY 2007 CHEVY EQUINOX STARTED GOING CRAZY. I'M DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT 30 MPH BUT THE SPEEDOMETER SAYS I'M DOING 60 MPH. WHEN I'M ON THE HIGHWAY DOING 55 MPH, IT BOUNCES BETWEEN 90 TO 120 MPH. I'VE EVEN BEEN PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY DOING 120 MPH. SOMETHING IS SERIOUSLY WRONG. I'VE FOUND OUT ABOUT NUMEROUS OTHER COMPLAINTS WITH OTHER CHEVY'S DOING THE SAME THING BUT CHEVY DOESN'T WANT TO INCLUDE THE EQUINOX. I WANT TO KNOW WHAT MY NEXT STEP IS GOING TO BE.
