2007 Chevrolet Equinox

AIRBAG LIGHT, TPMS, STABILITY LIGHT, HEADLIGHT AND TAILLIGHTS GO OUT ALOT. CALLED CHEVY PLACE AOUT RECALLS AND WAS TOLD MINE IS NOT RECALLED BUT PROBLEMS WITH MY CAR ARE SAME AS RECALL. THEY FIXED GAS LINE RECALL, TOOK IT TO WHERE I BOUGHT IT 2 OR 3 TIMES BUT NEVER GOT FIXED. MY SPEEDOMETER ALSO BEEN OUT SINCE GETTING CAR BRAKE LIGHTS ALWAYS COMING ON AS WELL, OTHER PROBLEMS AS WELL. DOESNT SEEM CHEVY MAKES A GOOD VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG LIGHT FAILED TO ILLUMINATE. THE FAILURE OCCURRED CONSTANTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE PASSENGER SEAT ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 07V344000 (AIR BAGS). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 94,000.

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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG PRESSURE SENSOR GAUGE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 07V520000 (AIR BAGS). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 146,792.

WARNING NOTICE TO SERVICE AIRBAG IS ON AND WILL NOT GO OFF. THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ILLUMINATED FOR THE PASSENGER AND DRIVER. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR IN TO HAVE THIS ISSUED CHECKED; HOWEVER, THE TECHNICIANS STATED THERE WAS NO ISSUES AND COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM TO FIX. I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT AIR BAGS WILL MALFUNCTION WHILE TRANSPORTING MYSELF AND/OR FAMILY AS THIS IS A ONGOING ISSUE 2007 EQUINOX. GM IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AND REFUSES TO RECALL.

OVER THE PAST FEW DAYS, MY STABILITRAK LIGHT HAS COME ON AND OFF WHILE DRIVING OR JUST SITTING IN THE CAR. PULLING INTO MY DRIVEWAY TODAY I NOTICED THAT THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON FOR THE STABILITRAK. I PROCEEDED TO DRIVE AND THEN SUDDENLY IT BECAME INCREASING HARD TO MANEUVER MY STEERING WHEEL ALMOST TO THE POINT WHERE IT FELT AS IF IT HAD LOCKED UP ON ME. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR BACK HOME BUT AS I WAS DRIVING I NOTICE MY AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON AND WILL NOT GO OFF AT ALL. AFTER MAKING IT BACK TO INTO MY DRIVEWAY I CUT OFF THE IGNITION WAITED A FEW MINUTES AND TURNED THE CAR BACK ON TO SEE IF THIS WOULD HELP EITHER OF THE PROBLEMS BUT TO NO AVAIL. I HAVE NOW TAKEN THE CAR TO MY LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALER AND THEY HAVE INFORMED ME THAT THEY HAVE SEN THIS ISSUE WITH A NUMBER OF EQUINOX AND IT IS INDEED AN ISSUE MY STABILITRAK.
