I am constantly having to fix my "learn remote" settings, vehicle stereo volume does not always match the level of it's output, blinker continues to get stuck on even after the steering wheel is in the position for the blinker to have ceased, door locks are sometimes stuck unlocked and sometimes stuck locked, ignition sometimes locked in acc and will not allow for key to be removed, lug nuts have somehow become "swollen" and the dealership could not remove them in order to do a rotation, there is no protection plate under the vehicle causing easy access to vital items, the ac (for the third time since I got the car a year ago) has mysteriously stopped working, the fan motor continues to run for approximately 35 minutes after the vehicle has been turned off, fuel injectors are clogged (second time and I have already had this issue cleaned), headlights have collected water on inside, there is no rubber hose barrier(s) for any door, the hood, the hatch, the door windows, charging outlets are loosely fitted and do not add life to my electronics(they are for whatever reason being drained), the entire underside of the vehicle has become damaged, has begun to rust and bolts/plugs/other vital components have needed to be replaced once again due to there being no protection for the underside of the vehicle. These are just the components that I can think of off the top of my head!.
I could smell gas took it in for inspection it has not been fixed yet so we know it’s something to do with the fuel and the mechanic said if you drive it could blow up.
My defrost doesn't work nor does my heat and every time I put gas in the truck it doesn't want to start up right away. It's dangerous to drive and I can't see out my windows I live in wisconsin. I've had my bend door and actuator fixed twice even had all my fluids drained and refilled. It doesn't heat up the truck at all even without defrost on I still get cold air no matter the setting and service air bag has been popping up since ive purchased the vehicle.

I took my car in for its routine oil change and they informed me that I had a gas leak and that I was driving a time bomb. I bought my car at the beginning of this year and it only had 36,000 miles on it and it now only has 47,000 miles and I don't understand how it could be leaking gas. A month after I purchased the car I also tried to use the washer cleaner to clean my windows and it does not work either, at this point, I am at a lost for words, I just started a new job and I have to find a way to work. Frustrated!!!!.
My 2008 chevy Equinox has a heavy gas smell, that when parked in the garage, leaves a heavy odor of gas throughout my home. . . I have seen the 12190 gm recall for this issue, but it is a 2008 not 2007 as listed in the recall, yet it is a nevada vehicle and this state is on the recall list. It seems to be exhibiting the same exact issue. . I am worried about the safety of not only myself, but my daughter and others riding in it. . Please help.
The fuel rail developed a pinpoint leak resulting in gas being sprayed out of the system and into the engine compartment. Leak was only detected because it was subsequently pulled into the passenger cabin causing nausea and headaches in my toddlers. Hole is not visible to the naked eye, and is small enough that the system only leaks when pressurized.
I began to smell a strong gas odor. Then the Equinox started to give me trouble when I started it up. It would just keep turning over but never start right away. People would leave notes on my car the gas smell got so strong. Gas mileage went down dramatically. I took the truck to my mechanic and it was a faulty fuel module that was leaking. This should be a recalled part my truck is new never been wrecked or worked on that the fuel module should be leaking.
