I PURCHASED A USED EQUINOX AND IT NOW HAS THE SERVICE AIR BAG INDICATION ON THE DASH & EVEN WHEN OCCUPIED BY A LARGE ADULT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG WILL NOT TURN ON. IT STATES OFF CONTINUOUSLY. I DID CALL CHEVROLET AS SOME HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THE IDENTICAL PROBLEM, HOWEVER, WAS TOLD THAT MY VIN NUMBER DID NOT MATCH THE RECALL ONLY 437 CARS MATCHED THAT RECALL AND THAT I WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIRS MYSELF. *TR

I CONTACTED GM ABOUT THE ISSUES,THEY MADE AN APPOINTMENT AT A DEALER,WHEN I TOOK IT THEIR THE DEALER REFUSED MAKING UP EVERY EXCUSE HE COULD,CALLED GM SEVERAL TIMES BUT THEY SAY THESE ITEMS WOULD BE FIXED ,IT IS ALL SCREWED UP,GM DOES NOT GIVE A [XXX] ABOUT THESE HAZARDS,PROBLEMS STILL EXIST,REFERENCE NUMBER IS [XXX],THEIR HAVE BEEN RECALLS EXCEPT FOR OHIO,GIVE ME A BREAK,THAT IS THE STUPIDEST THING SINCE THE VEHICLE HAS SO MANY RECALLS...........................TAIL GATE DOOR DOES NOT OPEN,MOTOR IS NOT WORKING,POTENTIAL HAZARD. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

CRUISE CONTROL ACCELERATION BUTTON "STUCK" DOWN IN ACCELERATION "MODE" AND CAR CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE. I HAD TO PRESS THE BRAKE TO DISENGAGE THE CRUISE CONTROL. THIS BUTTON "STICKS" OR GETS "STUCK" IN ACCELERATION "MODE" ON CRUISE CONTROL AND THE ONLY WAY I HAVE FOUND TO DISENGAGE IT IS TO TAP THE BRAKES AND DISENGAGE THE CRUISE CONTROL. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 CHEVROLET EQUINOX AND STARTED NOTICING A FUEL SMELL COMING FROM THE REAR OF IT AS IT GETS WORSE AFTER DRIVING. I HAD A COBALT THAT HAD THE RECALL ON THE FUEL PUMP FOR THE SAME ISSUE SO I LOOKED INTO IT AND CALLED A FEW LOCAL DEALERS AND FOUND OUT THERE IS A RECALL ON THE EQUINOXES FOR IT AS WE'LL BUT IT IS ONLY IN CERTAIN AREAS AND MINE DOES NOT FALL INTO THE CATEGORY. I HAVE ALSO RESEARCHED AND FOUND OUT A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE BUT THE RECALL IS NOT BEING EXTENDED AND IT SHOULD BE SO NOW TO MAKE SURE IT DOESN'T CATCH ON FIRE I AM HAVING TO FIX THE PROBLEM MYSELF AND IT IS NOT CHEAP TO DO. *TR

KEY STICKS IN IGNITION WHEN ENTERED INTO PARK, AND WILL NOT COME OUT MOST OF THE TIME. THE ONLY WAY TO RELEASE THE KEY IS TO STICK FINGER INTO A HOLE IN THE STEERING COLUMN AND SLIDE THE MANUAL RELEASE SWITCH WITHIN THE STEERING WHEEL COLUMN. THERE ARE NO OBSTRUCTIONS WHICH PREVENT THE GEAR SHIFT LEVER FROM ENTERING THE FULL PARK POSITION. *TR
