Failure Date: 11/06/2018

First there was smell in driver side back passenger seat. Then the smell got stronger outside car, right driver wheel well. Took to my mechanic for over 20 years and he verified smell and was able to stick his hand up and feel wet spot on top/ side of gas tank. Both with car in motion and stopped. The 2007 Equinox has a recall for the exact same complaint, gas smell in driver side passenger seat and wheel well. I called Chevrolet and there is a notice but no recall. They are using the same plastic part on the both cars and the part may deteriorate or defective on both years.

Takata recall- I started smelling gasoline a couple of days ago and it seems like gas is leaking above the gas tank on the passenger side. I am concerned because this is a safety issue and my car may catch on fire while I am driving. Need to know if this is a recall. When I first smelled it, I was parked at the store but now I smell it while driving and while it is parked!!.

5 Other Fuel System Tank Assembly problem

Failure Date: 11/13/2017

My vehicle should have two recalls; first the airbags. When my passenger is sitting in the seat the check engine light will come on telling me to check my airbag and the airbag light is off. I'm not sure if it will deploy if I get in an accident or if it will on its own one day hurting my passenger. Second, my vehicle smells like gasoline. It smells worse when I fill the tank up and its doesn't start right away. I am driving my vehicle since this is the only vehicle I have. I have seen online were the 2007 Equinox had a recall for the airbag and gas tank. Please help me.

7 Other Fuel System Tank Assembly problem

Failure Date: 08/01/2014

This car has been a lemon since I got her. She has had so many problems from stereo, brakes, motor and now the gas tanks leaks. We had received a recall letter months ago stating that this was a recall but if you do not smell fuel, then don't worry about it. Well, now we do and I have called gm and was told that their system was down and that they would call us back. They also told us that without the recall letter they couldn't help us. I am looking for the letter but shouldn't they have this on record? that was over a week ago and still no answer. We have contacted the dealership where I bought the car and still no response. What do we have to do to get some answers?.

8 Other Fuel System Tank Assembly problem

Failure Date: 07/25/2012

My wife smelled gas on my 2008 Equinox when the vehicle was parked in the garage. Vehicle was pulled out and I noticed the smell was coming from the passenger rear. I got under the car to see if I could see a visible leak and noticed gas around the gas tank. Monday July 30 2012 I will take the vehicle in to my local dealership. I searched on line and noticed this is a on-going problem with the Equinox, I'm alarmed that there has not been a recall on this issue. This could lead to a fire/ fatalities with the vehicle.
