On Aug. 26th,2012 my 2006 chevy Equinox broke down I towed it to the mechanic and found out my fuel pump was cracked and had to be replaced. I paid $750 doll for parts and labor ,2 wks before that happened my car was giving off a fuel smell and wouldn't start unless I pressed the gas pedal that worked until it finally broke down . Gm is recalling Equinox 2007-09 for fuel injector problems causing to leak gas causing a fuel smell and in danger of the car catching fire because of gas leackage and also damaging the fuel pump my car is a 2006 but has that same problem even after a new fuel pump its still giving me the same problems I think its my fuel injector and gm needs to also recall model yr 2006 I'm afraid I will need a new exp fuel pump again soon or worse my car could catch on fire therefore I'm praying gm does the right thing and include the chevy Equinox 2006 in its recall because this is a very dangerous and expensive problem . Thank you.
