2007 Chevrolet Equinox

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE PASSENGER PRESENCE SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 155,000.

THE SUNFOOF DRAIN TUBES LEAK INTO THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE CAUSING FLOODING OF FLOORBOARDS AS WELL AS HEADLINER. THE WATER DRIPS FROM VISORS/HEADLINER ONTO ELECTRONICAL COMPONANTS AND DOME LIGHT, AN OBVIOUS HAZORD. DEALER SHOWED US THE PROBLEM, BUT CLAIMS THEY HAVE NEVER SEEN IT CAUSE FLOODING. THIS PROBLEM IS WIDESPREAD ON THE INTERNET AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. OTHER GM MODELS HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THE SAME ISSUE. WE INFORMED GM OF THE PROBLEM AND THEY WERE NOT WILLING TO STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME IT RAINS STATIONARY OR IN MOTION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR WAS CONSTANTLY ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE SEAT ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT NEEDED TO BE REPROGRAMMED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 07V344000 (AIR BAGS). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 100,000.

ON 9/22/08 WE TOOK OUR VEHICLE TO GREGG YOUNG CHEVY IN OMAHA NE WITH COMPLAINT OF THE PASSENGER AIR BAG DID NOT REGISTER PASSENGER. THE COULD NOT DUPLICATE AND NOTHING WAS DONE. AGAIN ON 4/10/10 WE TOOK THE VEHICLE IN AGAIN WITH SAME COMPLAINT. WE WERE TOLD AGAIN COULD NOT DUPLICATE AT THIS TIME, NO PROBLEM FOUND SCANNED, NO CODES. NO BULLETINS FOUND, SYSTEM WORKING AS DESIGNED. THEN AGAIN 9/28/11 WE TOOK IT IN AGAIN AND COMPLAINED THE SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON INTERMITTENTLY. THEY REPLACED THE PPS MODULE. WE HAD TO PAY LABOR AND FACTORY WARRANTY DEDUCTIBLE. I SEE BY YOU RECALL PAGE THERE WAS A RECALL #07V344000 ON THE PASSENGER SENSOR AND OR CALIBRATION. IF THERE WAS A RECALL WHY WERE WE CHARGED TO REPLACE A DEFAULT BY THE MAKER? NOW HERE WE ARE IN DEC 2016 AND NOW WE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AGAIN. THE AIR BAG DOES NOT ALWAYS REGISTER A PASSENGER AND IF IT DOES, IT GOES BACK AND FOR STATING AIR BAG ON AND AIR BAG OFF AND THE DASH WARNING LIGHT TO SERVICE AIR BAG GOES ON AND OFF AND THEN WE GET A READ OUT ON THE DASH STATING TO SERVICE AIR BAG. SAME PROBLEM YET AGAIN. HOW MAY TIMES CAN THE SENSOR OR CALIBRATION GO WRONG. WE CALLED GREGG YOUNG AND THEY WANT $130 JUST TO LOOK AT THE PROBLEM. WHAT ARE OUR OPTIONS? I DON'T FEEL THIS IS A WEAR AND TEAR PROBLEM AND WE PAID FOR IT ONCE ALREADY AND FEEL WE SHOULD NOT HAVE BASED ON THE RECALL LISTED. ANY INFORMATION YOU COULD PROVIDE WOULD BE HELPFUL. THANK YOU FOR CONSIDERING OUR SAFETY A PRIORITY. *TR
