EXTERIOR LIGHTING
OUR 2007 CHEVY EQUINOX HAD CONDENSATION IN THE HEADLIGHTS, WHICH THEY WERE REPLACED WHEN WE BOUGHT THE VEHICLE FROM THE DEALERSHIP MAY 20, 2014. IN OCTOBER 2015, CONDENSATION BEGAN BUILDING UP AGAIN IN THE DRIVER'S SIDE LENS. WE REPLACED A BULB IN NOVEMBER AND IN FEBRUARY, ENDED UP REPLACING THE ENTIRE COMPONENT DUE TO CONDENSATION GATHERING IN THE HEADLIGHT, TO THE COST OF OVER $400! THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A DESIGN FLAW FOR THIS VEHICLE.

STRUCTURE:BODY
MY VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY. MY VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN THE CARPORT FOR A FEW WEEKS. WHEN I CAN BACK TO THE VEHICLE IT WAS COVERED IN MOLD. IT WAS ALL OVER THE DASHBOARD AND THE SEATS. I LOOKED ONLINE AND A LOT OF CONSUMERS WERE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. THERE IS A WATER LEAK. THE SPARE TIRE WELL HAS A LOT OF WATER IN IT. GM HAS A DOCUMENT ID NUMBER 2198426 DESCRIBING HOW TO FIX THIS WATER LEAK. I FEEL SINCE A LOT OF CONSUMERS ARE GOING THROUGH THIS; THEN IT SHOULD BE RECALLED.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WHILE DRIVING EITHER ON CITY OR FREEWAY THE CAR STARTED SHAKING, JERKING, AND VIBRATING REALLY BADLY WHEN APPLIED PRESSURE TO THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT GAIN SPEED, INSTEAD IT WOULD SLOW DOWN AND IT FELT LIKE GAS WAS NOT GOING TROUGH. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. SOMETIMES THE KEY WILL NOT COME OUT OF THE IGNITION AND I HAVE TO TURN THE CAR BACK ON THEN TURN THE WHEEL, BUT SOMETIMES IT TAKES MORE THAN THIS TO GET THE KEY OUT FROM THE IGNITION SWITCH. I HAD VEHICLE TOWED TO A CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG OR COULD DUPLICATE PROBLEM. WHEN I PICKED UP THE CAR I HAD DRIVE IT 15 MILES AND THE CAR STARTED DOING THE SAME THING.

AIR BAGS, SEATS
A FEW MONTHS AGO, I TOOK MY CAR INTO THE DEALER TO DIAGNOSE A CHECK AIRBAG LIGHT. $122 LATER, MY VEHICLE WAS FOUND TO HAVE A "FAULTY PASSENGER PRESENCE MODULE." I WAS QUOTED OVER $1000 IN REPAIRS AND GIVEN NO OTHER OPTIONS. I DECLINED THE REPAIRS IN LIEU OF CONFIRMING WITH AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AS I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH THAT SERVICE DEPARTMENT BEFORE REGARDING A FAULTY FUEL SYSTEM (WHICH WAS RECALLED AND I WAS NOT INFORMED). MY INDEPENDENT MECHANIC CONFIRMED THE PASSENGER SENSING UNIT WAS NOT WORKING PROPERLY AND AFTER FURTHER INVESTIGATION, I FOUND THAT THIS PART (MUCH LIKE THE DEBACLE WITH MY FUEL PUMP) WAS ALSO A RECALLED. I AM REFERRING TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN#07V344000. MY VIN# IS INCLUDED WITHIN THE DESIGNATED VIN BREAKING POINTS; HOWEVER, IT DOES NOT QUALIFY INDIVIDUALLY. I FIND THIS INFURIATING. IF THE PART IS KNOWN TO BE FAULTY, AND IT'S THE SAME PART PLACED INTO PONTIAC/CHEVY VEHICLES THEN WHY ARE ONLY SOME OF THESE FAULTY PARTS INCLUDED IN THE RECALL???? THIS WAS THE SAME SITUATION WITH MY FAULTY FUEL PUMP, IN WHICH I PAID CASH FOR THE PART AND REPAIRS AND THEN 6 MONTHS LATER RECEIVED A LETTER FROM GM STATING MY VIN# WAS NOW INCLUDED. I PHONED THE DEALER AND GM DIRECTLY AND THEY OFFERED ME NO OPTIONS OTHER THAN PAY $611 FOR THE PART AND ESTIMATED ANOTHER $500 IN LABOR. I HAVE FOUND ON NUMEROUS GM FORUMS THAT THIS ISSUE WITH THE PPM IS VERY COMMON WITH 2007-2009 PONTIAC AND CHEVY VEHICLES WITH THOSE OWNERS GETTING THE SAME EXCUSE FROM GM AND NO RECALL COVERAGE. I AM HOPING THAT IN THE FUTURE SOMEONE FROM THE NHTSA WILL LOOK INTO THIS CAMPAIGN AND EXPAND THE VEHICLES INVOLVED AS IT SEEMS TO BE A DEALER/PART ISSUE AND AFFECTS THE OVERALL SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE.

IN THE MONTH OF FEBRUARY 2016 VEHICLE STARTED TO TELL ME THAT IT WAS OVERHEATING. THE HEAT WAS BLOWING COLD AIR. WITHOUT GOING ANY PLACE BUT SITTING IN THE DRIVEWAY IT STARTED TO TELL ME THAT THE ENGINE WAS OVERHEATING AND TO TURN A/C OFF. I COULD STILL HEAR THE FAN RUNNING WHILE DRIVING AND ONCE I PARKED IT WOULD RUN FOR A WHILE. WHY IS THIS NOT A RECALL WITH ALL THE COMPLAINTS THAT I SEE ON THIS SUBJECT ANY HELP WOULD BE NICE
