We purchased a 2010 chevy Equinox Aug. 20, 2009 and failed to check where the fuel fill door was located. It is on the righthand side of the vehicle which is the wrong side. It creates a safety hazard when getting fuel. ( getting out into station traffic, walking between cars and being a longer distance from the drivers door when most people leave their keys in the car when fueling. The vehicles darts quickly when traveling which is noticeable in the back seat. (may be caused by vehicle stability system) the front doors are located so that I bump my head (have cut my head) unless the seat is back as far as possible. Gm has no retrofit to move fuel fill door or unit to put seats back to give more head room.
