general problems of the 2007 Chevrolet Equinox - part 2

I started smelling gas when I stopped the car. There was a gas leak. I took it to the garage and they told me that it could have set the whole car on fire, due to the leak and trail of gas going up into the car. If I had been on the highway and a spark had hit the gas leak, we could have been set on fire. I called the Chevrolet company and they said that if I didn't have my car registered in a certain state that the recall they had in place would not affect my car. If it is a faulty part, why does it matter where the car is registered, if there is a recall on the vehicle, there is a recall on the vehicle.

The contact owns a 2007 Chevrolet Equinox. The contact stated that an overpowering odor of gasoline was emitted inside of the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who was unable to determine the failure and offered no assistance. The manufacturer was notified of the failure who stated that the contact should take the vehicle to the dealer for a diagnostic test. The failure and current mileage was 67,000.

The contact owns a 2007 Chevrolet Equinox. The contact stated she smelled an odor of fuel coming for the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnosis. The dealer had not diagnosed or repaired the vehicle. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure and the current mileage was 120,000.

In the process of having a flat tire repaired on the right rear of the vehicle the mechanic discovered a fuel leak. I called the dealer and took the car to be looked at and repaired. I was told there was a special bulletin concerning the fuel leaks. I provided the VIN and the service manager checked and said this vehicle was not included. I stated this is a major safety issue but gm does not want to correct the issue. I had the vehicle repaired at $1100 for the safety of my family. I will seek compensation from gm myself. Gm would not help the dealer because of the mileage. It should not matter about the mileage for this fuel leak because of the proximity of the leak right next to the exhaust system. Gm needs to recall the Equinox and reimburse those who have had expensive repairs. This will cost gm more in the future over lawsuits when someone is severely injured or killed because of the vehicle exploding!!!.

The contact owns a 2007 Chevrolet Equinox. The contact was driving 35 mph when the smell of fuel emitted inside of the vehicle. The engine stabilizer warning light illuminated after the failure. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer. The manufacturer was contacted. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 88,532 and the current mileage was 88,562.

We started smelling gas in early may 2012. When the warning light came on, we took it into a mechanic, who determined it was the fuel module that was cracked and leaking and we paid a small fortune to get it replaced. In October of that year, gm announced a recall for this exact problem, but has repeatedly said our VIN is not on the list. I cannot see how this is possible. Why is the recall for just a few states? we live in oklahoma, but the recall is for texas. How is this possible? why is no-one pushing for a nationwide recall, and why can we not get reimbursed for the costs of our repairs? I hope you can help.

While driving my Equinox, I smelled gas and thought I had wasted gas when I went to the gas station. After smelling gas for weeks, my husband checked the truck and found it had gas leaking from it. I took the truck to the dealership and they found that it was leaking from the fuel assembly and stated that this was a common ongoing problem with this vehicle. After calling gm they refuse to correct this problem and states that if your warranty has expired there is nothing they can do. After checking online I found that there are tons of complaints from fellow Equinox owners about this defect and I feel that chevy should be made to offer a recall and be forced to fix this problem before someone gets killed.

Very strong fuel odor/fumes. Leaking underneath.

The vehicle has been smelling like gas after driving. The smell is in the car after driving, parking for a few and getting back in the car. I have yet to go get it checked but have only had it for 2years. I see that there are now over 200 of the same complains and I am not willing to put in $1700 into a practically new car. A recall is in order!!.

The contact owns a 2007 Chevrolet Equinox. The contact stated that while driving, the vehicle emitted a strong fuel odor. The vehicle was taken to the dealer several times for the fuel failure. The dealer inspected the vehicle but was unable to locate the fuel failure. In addition, the sun-roof seal was defective and causing water to penetrate the interior of the vehicle. As a result, the interior light would not provide proper illumination. The dealer advised that the sun-roof could not be repaired and the interior lighting failure could have been caused by a faulty alternator. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 69,000 and current mileage was 78,000.

I have noticed that finally there is a recall . I am saddened to see that unfortunately this recall is not included in florida. I just never knew that a big company would not care for the safety of the drivers and passengers! I do not have the money to fix it, and I am scared that something bad will happen while I am driving it in with children. I dont understand why my car is not being recalled. I feel it is unfair to only recall certain states when there are others like me in florida with this serious problem. This problem is very serious, it leaks gasoline!!!. Peoples lives are at risk! will gm care when someone dies here in florida!. When I heard about the recall I was so happy, then called gm, only to be told I am not in the state for the recall, which is so unfair!!!!!!. I was also told if I felt it was serious, and scared that I should get it fixed and that they would reimburse me if the recall eventually affects my vehicle. I just felt the same cold shoulder I recieved when I complained to gm about my pasenger airbag! . If something happens because of this it would be pretty sad that they could have helped people like me and my family. I feel like I need to let you know this is so serious. I dont want to have to hire a lawyer, call the news, just for gm to do what is the right thing to do for other states, like florida! I pray nothing bad happens and that it should not be only a few states, it should be the all vehicles with the problem for the recall, and florida is a very warm state. Please thank you for listening and I do hope that all the other people like myself get this problem resolved from gm, for the safety of us and all other drivers in case of a serious accident! they should not wait for us in florida before its to late. Sincerly, misty winnik.
