general problems of the 2007 Chevrolet Equinox

Check engine light will not go off. Had engine check, it always smell like gass is leaking. When down to 60. . . 70 miles to empty. When you open the gas tank there is air flowing or gas draining. When the noise stops, then you can pump the gas with out the gas pump stopping. The light and blinkers are constantly having to be replaced.

Water constantly getting in the encasing and bulb is blowing out. Replaced bulb 5 times in one month.

I have had my Equinox since 2008; it is a 2007 model. I have had continual repairs on the electrical rear lights and the belt tensioner, but this next repair is by far the worst. When the car was in park position the odor of gasoline was strong around the perimeter of the car. When driving, the smell of gas circulated into the air conditioning system penetrating the inside of the car. The smell was strongest on the outer side by the gas tank. I took the car to get a diagnostic test and found a leak above the gas tank. Further inspection revealed the fuel pump was leaking gasoline, about six inches from the muffler. This defect could have resulted in serious injury or fatalities as I regularly carry children in the back seat. This car is only 5 years old and it seems to require too many repairs for the few years/miles it has traveled. As a thoughtful vehicle owner, I take precautions to preserve the life of my vehicle through regular maintenance and covered storage from natural elements. Certainly these kinds of defects are not an expected occurrence in this kind of vehicle. Disappointed Equinox owner :(.

I purchase the 2007 Equinox used from day one I have had problems the first one was the car would slow down on its on and when I speeded up it would slow down then it wouldn't start I replaced the battery and now the same thing it will not start, there is a noise that I hear when I drive like something is lose, the back windshield wiper works and not works the passenger seat beat light keeps coming on I will never buy another Chevrolet product.

The contact owns a 2007 Chevrolet Equinox. The contact stated that the seals for the head lights failed, allowing water to penetrate the head light assembly and cause the lights to continuously burn out. The contact spoke with the dealer but the vehicle was not repaired. The VIN was not available. The failure mileage was unknown, but the current mileage was 114,000.

My gas cap has gone bad on a 2 1/2 yr old SUV? I was told this is rare by the state inspector. The dealer does not want to help me at all and I do not understand as I have had one problem after with my SUV.

My blinker has never worked right since the day I got this car, it has been back to the dealer no less than 4 times for it and to no prevail.
