Fuel line of vehicle is leaking fuel somewhere near the fuel pump or fuel tank. Fuel will drip from under the vehicle and accumulate. Vehicle constantly smells of fuel and takes a long time to start as a result of the fuel line having no initial pressure. Constant fuel leak poses a danger to our home and other vehicles on the road not to mention our personal safety.

I bought a used 2007equinox last year (may 2015) I kept smelling gas and it was getting worse, didn't know about the recall, took it to my mechanic which cost me $965. 00 to replace. If this vehicle went through the recall and a fuel pump was replaced, should it have been leaking again after 4 years. It would hesitate on starting and driving and parking the gas fumes were so bad, I knew I had a leak somewhere, it was leaking in motion and when stationary, when I would park it and walk about the park, the gas fumes were the worst there, still could smell the gas in my car and outside by the drivers side and passenger side doors.

Fuel odor and spotting on ground while parked in garage. Vehicle was taken to mechanic who found a cracked plastic fuel line on the top of the fuel pump. No area damage or cause found for this crack to occur. Unknown reason other than defect. Fuel pump had to be replaced.

There seems to be an issue with the fuel pump clogging/not working properly. I have researched it and even contacted chevy about the inferior fuel pumps in all the Equinox models.

I purchased this 2008 Chevrolet, Equinox from henderson Chevrolet in henderson, nevada in 2007. On July 2013 I received a letter from jim moloney, general director, customer and relationship services. On July 15, 2015 I went shopping at nellis air force base here in las vegas, nv. I stopped at the firestone repair because I smell gas and I did not want to move my car any more for fear of fire according to the letter I received from Chevrolet. I took it to firestone to have it checked out, they lifted my car on the lift and they showed me that it was leaking gas and coming from the fuel pump area. I told them to repair it for I can't drive any further due to the possibility of fire according to the letter from Chevrolet. On July 17, 2015 I went to henderson Chevrolet to see if I could get a refund on repairs and replacement of the fuel pump which was part of a safety recall. I was denied a refund stating that the covering period expired on July 31, 2014. The cost of repairing the faulty fuel pump total was $1, 137. 80 this is what I paid firestone and asking Chevrolet for a refund.

This vehicle exhibits the exact same issues noted in bulletin #12313b, which affects the 2010 and 2011 2. 4l Equinox. Over the last several months the engine became increasingly louder. A large amount of fuel was discovered in the crankcase. The dealer replaced the timing chain assembly and the high pressure fuel pump as outlined in bulletin #12313b, but the 2012 model year is not included under the special coverage of 10 years, 120k miles, as outlined in the bulletin. This special coverage should be extended to later model Chevrolet Equinox 2. 4l engines. The coverage is a necessity due to the wear that has occurred from fuel being in the oil.

There is a current recall in place for the timing chain and fuel pump in this vehicle. Both items were replaced at 30,00 mile and now 107,000 miles later the same problem is occuring and both of these items need to be replaced again and instead of gm recognizing the recall they say that they can only provide $300. 00 towards the repair cost of the vehicle. Gm says we have exceed the mileage for the repairs to be done at no cost and want to charge us $2200. 00 for the repair of the vehicle. The recall number for this is (12313). The poc at jack evans dealership in front royal va is lauren miller (540) 635-2153. The only assistance the dealership worked out with gm towards the repair of the vehicle was $300. 00. Gm needs to recognize that not every single vehicle is going to be the same and not all vehicles are going to have problems at exactly the same mileage, if there was a problem with the parts in the vehicle and you replaced those parts when the vehicle only had 30,000 miles on it and the problem is occuring again 107,000 miles later then there is obviously still a problem. The recall was put in place for a reason and they need to do the right thing and honor that recall instead of trying to give us rebates and dealer incentives of up to $3000. 00 to be used towards the purchase of a brand new vehicle, which is what they are trying to do at this point in time.

Smelled increasing gas smell. My mechanic found a fuel leak, pulled the gas tank and had to replace the fuel pump as the plastic supply/return had cracked and was leaking fuel. Mechanic informed me that he thought there was a recall in effect for this problem. To date, I have never been notified by chevy of a recall for this problem, yet I can see online that this is happening frequently. I found gm's campaign # 12190 but not sure it it covers my year and model. It was over $600 to replace the fuel pump!!.

Notice odor of gas coming from right rear of car and seen a puddle of gas in lane . Mechanic state either fuel pump or gasket failure called gm they state there's is a extended coverages if dealer state the it's a failure of the supply return port have to pay out of my pocket because they used defective parts.

Initially the issue started with rough idling of the car, engine ticking, and engine stalling. After indicating this to the dealership, they informed me that the ecm needed to be reprogrammed because the oil life indicator was not properly calibrated causing the system to think that there was more life on the oil than there actually was. The engine balance chain eventually broke while on the interstate (55 mph), due to improper oil lubrication. The fuel pump, water pump, and a few other items had to be replaced due to the damage caused when the chain broke. I notified the dealership once again after engine ticking/ rough idling re-occured and they indicated to me that the engine ticking during startup was normal. The engine ticking progressed to becoming a constant noise. I noticed that when I took the oil in for an oil change, approximately 2000 miles in, that the oil dipstick would come up completely dry. This indicated the vehicle was experiencing an excessive amount of oil consumption. I took the vehicle to the dealership who indicated that pistons had to be replaced and the exhaust manifold was cracked. This indicated that the engine was observing some excessive amount of heat most likely due to the oil consumption issue. During these issues, no service engine light ever came on. The car had to be taken back to the dealership after the service engine light came on which indicated that the cam shaft actuator solenoids and catalytic converter needed to be replaced. The catalytic converter most likely failed due oil seeping into the exhaust which coated the ceramic substrate & the excessive heat experienced by the engine (as indicated by the cracked manifold) damaged the ceramic substrate. Oil consumption leads to excessive heat from the engine which can be a fire hazard. Engine stalling due to oil consumption leads to crash safety issues.

I noticed a strong smell of fuel coming from my vehicle, I took it to a mechanic who diagnosed it as a problem with my fuel pump. I looked online because I had heard of a recall associated with cars catching on fire due to a fuel pump defect and I believe my vehicle is affected by this same defect. I'm in urgent need of this being repaired but I'm being told that the problem with the fuel pump will not be covered given the recall is regional to specific states. I am disputing this as I don't understand why my vehicle can't be covered if it is experiencing the same defect that was identified in those states.

In the morning of may 1, 2014, I went to the parking lot to get the Equinox to buy some groceries. When I was opening the door, I smelled gasoline. So I looked under the Equinox and saw a big wet spot under the fuel tank. I immediately brought the Equinox to an auto repair shop. It was found out that the fuel pump was leaking. So I bought a new fuel pump and the repair was finished on may 3, 2014. I would like to mention that on June 18, 2013, I brought the Equinox to the charles clark Chevrolet for inspection after I received a recall letter from general motors for the fuel pump that would like. After the inspection of the fuel tank and fuel pump, the dealer declared no leaks and found all within specs. I was misled because the fuel pump leaked. Being recalled, the dealer should have changed the fuel pump leaking or not and I would not have spent for the repair. I immediately filed reimbursement from the dealer and I was told that my claim was forwarded to general motors. Until now (8/22/14) I have not received any refund.

I have a 2007 Chevrolet Equinox and started noticing a fuel smell coming from the rear of it as it gets worse after driving. I had a cobalt that had the recall on the fuel pump for the same issue so I looked into it and called a few local dealers and found out there is a recall on the Equinoxes for it as we'll but it is only in certain areas and mine does not fall into the category. I have also researched and found out a lot of other people are having the same issue but the recall is not being extended and it should be so now to make sure it doesn't catch on fire I am having to fix the problem myself and it is not cheap to do.

I have had problems with my 2011 Chevrolet Equinox since the day I got it but yesterday was the worst. The engine all of a sudden stalled on the highway and I had to pull off the road. I just had it in the shop last week and had the fuel pump and timing chain replaced. I was able to get my car home only able to drive 40 mph. This morning I was going to try to get it to work to be closer to someone who could check the code out on it but as I was going down the road it completely stalled out and I barely got off the road before the engine cut out all together. I have read numerous forums of customer with the same vehicle having the same problem. This is a safety issue and gm needs to address it. The shop is saying that if it's the fuel throttle body which is what I suspect they will not cover it under warranty. From what I understand there was a bulletin put out on this issue and it was covered for awhile on the powertrain warranty but they pulled the bulletin and no longer cover it. I need help. Gm knows they have issues with this vehicle but they will not do anything about it.
