Side/window Air Bag problems of the 2007 Chevrolet Equinox

We are having the same problems as so many Equinox owners are with passenger side air bag seat sensor. This problem is a major safety issue. Why wait for more people to be injured or worse and demand gm address this issue once and for all.

The passengers side airbag will not stay on when no matter who on it, doesn't not pop any codes or anything. Have taken it two different dealerships still nothings says it's working fine. Which it isn�t, not safe at all.

My passenger side airbag is not working had replaced once under warrenty nver been in an accident light on again checked many owners experience same issue cost between 300 and 600 dollars for repair cannot let anyone ride in front seat cannot afford repair.

Passenger side air bag will not activate when an adult person is in the passenger seat.

My 19 year old daughter was drving home from work at approximately 11 pm on Sunday, October 5, 2014 on a straight street going approximately 40 mph in our 2007 cheverolet Equinox when both the driver & passenger side air bags deployed for no apparent reason. It scared her half to death, and luckily she did not get in to an accident. I called our local cheverolet dealership to report the issue & request service. I was told that there were no recalls & that I should file with my insurance company. I contacted my insurance company & was told no collision, no claim. I then went back to the service manager & he proceeded to tell me that the car probably thought it was going to tip over--really? long story short, I have called gm product department & filed a claim with them, and the dealership has had my car for over a week, and they have not heard from gm. I was told by the product specialist that an inspector was going to check the car & let me know what the computer says of why the air bags deployed. I have never heard of such a thing, and they are saying it happens all the time especially in SUV's. I have owned an SUV since 2005 & have never experienced an issue with the air bags deploying without a collision. I would like to know if this has happened to any one else & how I can handle this malfunction of the air bags. I feel that this is an issue with faulty air bags, not my financial issue. And is this car still safe for us to drive? please help.

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.

My passenger side airbag does not tell when somebody sitting there so if I have an accident the airbag will not go off I don't think the sensor is working it has been replaced once already. My key gets stuck in the ignition I have to wait for it to click to get it out of the ignition.

The contact owns a 2007 Chevrolet Equinox. The contact stated that the passenger side air bag warning lamp illuminated, indicating that the passenger seat was not occupied. The contact mentioned that the vehicle was repaired under NHTSA campaign number: 07v344000 (air bags) however, the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. Both refused to provide any assistance since the vehicle was previously repaired under the recall. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 80,000. . . Updated 08/11/14 updated 8/20/2014.

Took my 2007 Equinox to dealership where I but it in may of 2007 to tell them about passenger side airbag not working correctly when certain individuals luke myself were sitting in passenger seat and I was told nothing they could do that I just needed to carry a gallon of water on my lap because I was to small. Fyi I weigh 120. Also the key keeps getting stuck in the ignition I think this is very unsafe along with the airbag. Would like a response ASAP my Equinox only has 42000 miles .

As a result, the air bag would not activate once the seat was occupied. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer who was unable to duplicate the problem. The contact referenced NHTSA campaign id number 07v344000 (air bags:frontal:sensor/control module) however the VIN was ineligible for the recall repairs. The manufacturer was notified of the problem.
