I PURCHASED THIS UNIT IN 2010. THIS IS RELATED TO THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. THE SIGNAL OF THE AIRBAG APPEARS OFF EVEN IF THERE IS A PASSENGER SEATED. THIS STARTED TO HAPPEN IN 2013. I TOOK IT FOR A DIAGNOSTIC AT A DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WAS A FAULTY SENSOR. VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS SITUATION BUT WHEN I GAVE MY VIN # IT APPEARS MY VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDED (NHTSA CAMPAIGN #07V344000). *TR

THE IGNITION LOCKED UP. IT CONTINUES TO JAM UP SOMETIMES AT UNPREDICTABLE TIMES. ON THIS MORNING THE SIGNAL FOR SERVICE AIR BAG LIT UP. I CONTINUED DRIVING AND AFTER A FEW MINUTES IT TURNED OFF. I TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO MY LOCAL DEALER ([XXX]) ON MARCH 11, 2014, WHERE I WAS INFORMED THE AIR BAG MAY NOT FUNCTION IF I AM IN AN ACCIDENT. THE SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT HAS CONTINUED TO LIGHT UP MORE FREQUENTLY. PRESENTLY IT TURNS ON ALMOST EVERY DAY OR EVERY 2 DAYS. CONCERNED THE AIR BAG WILL NOT WORK WHEN IT IS NEEDED. I REALIZE THAT AS THE OWNER OF THE VEHICLE I AM RESPONSIBLE FOR THE MAINTENANCE OF THE CAR ON PARTS THAT ARE USED AND WORN, BUT IN THIS CASE, THE MALFUNCTION OF AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE VEHICLE ASSOCIATED TO THE SAFETY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE VEHICLE SHOULD BE A STANDARD FUNCTIONING PART THAT SHOULD WORK THROUGHOUT THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

LETTER FROM SENATOR REED ON BEHALF OF CONSTITUENT RE 2007 EQUINOX RECALLS AND OUTSTANDING REIMBURSEMENT ISSUES. *SMD THE CONSUMER WAS INFORMED RECALL 12V459000, DID NOT APPLY TO HIS VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER, AND HE WOULD NOT BE REIMBURSED FOR RECALL# 07V344000, EVEN THOUGH HE SUPPLIED DOCUMENTATION, HE PAID FOR THE REPAIRS. *JB

WHENEVER THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT IS OCCUPIED, THE DRIVER SHOULD ALWAYS CHECK THE AIRBAG INDICATOR TO SEE IF THE AIRBAG IS ON OR OFF. IF IT IS NOT CORRECT FOR THE SITUATION, THE PASSENGER SHOULD BE MOVED TO A DIFFERENT SEAT. THIS CAN INCREASE THE RISK OF INJURY TO A SEAT OCCUPANT DURING CERTAIN CRASH CONDITIONS. NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 07V344000 MY FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG SAYS THAT IT IS TURNED OFF EVEN WHEN I AM SITTING IN PASSANGER SEAT, THIS HAS GONE ON FOR SEVERAL MONTHS NOW. IT SAYS "SERVICE AIR BAG SOON" I DID SOME RESEARCH ON THE VEHICLE AND PROBLEM AND IT SAYS THAT THIS IS A RECALL ON THE CHEVY EQUINOX. I CALL CHEVROLET AND THEY SAID THAT MY VIN DOES NOT MATCH ANY CURRENT RECALLS. THANK YOU *TR
