Other Fuel System Tank Assembly Problems of Chevrolet Equinox - part 2

Strong gas smell from the tank area at appx 58000 mi. My mechanic could not locate the leak, said I would have to take it to the dealer. The dealer said it was not covered on a recall for several states. Am I mistaken, or didn't all these 07 Equinox's come from the same assembly plant ?????? online research shows many complaint's with this same problem. At present my problem still exists (seems to be getting worse, smelling stronger) cannot afford the repair. If in the future I am able to purchase a new vehicle, I will certainly do so with a different car company. (maybe if I moved to------------------.

It is a recall on 2007 chevy Equinox for the fuel tank leaking. I called the gm dealership and they act like they have no idea what I am talking about.

My 07 chevy Equinox is leaking from the gas tank on the rear passenger side of the car. A very strong odor is coming into the car I called the local Chevrolet dealer and they told me that this was a on going problem with this year Equinox but it hasn't been re called . I looked up this problem and there's a ton of cars with the same problem this is so dangerous to have. I have counted over 200 other complaints for the same problem, on the same model year on various other automotive help sites. I feel this is a very serious defect putting human life's in jeopardy. This is very dangerous and can result in the vehicle catching on fire if someone flicks a cigarette or there is a rear end or passenger side collision.

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.

Strong smell of gasoline is noticed after vehicle is started and ran. Checking beneath fuel tank, it is visible that gasoline is leaking from pump/connections area on top of tank. Also has the leak in vicinity of exhaust creating a potential fire hazard, not to mention health hazard from breathing fuel vapors. The exhaust will need to be removed to facilitate removal of fuel tank in order to correct or replace leaking pump. The vehicle is still in operable condition and a person would assume that external leakage would result in a safety recall to repair manufacturing defect. Normally you do not have a leakage of the pump before a complete failure of said pump. I personally think the manufacturer should recall and pay for repairs. And if a person has already made the repair that the repair fees be reimbursed. Vehicle does not in my opinion have enough age or miles to be having this problem.

I started smelling gas fumes on the 14th of June 2012. They got worse until I took the chevy to a dealer in kingman az. They found that their was a gas leak at the top of the gas tank. To correct this problem you have to remove the whole rear end to correct. The car is an awl which makes it more difficult to remove. The dealer suggested that we do not drive the car as of the fuel danger. Because of this we were forced to buy a new car which we really did not want to do.

Gas tank leaking from the top of the tank.

Several months back I started noticing a strong gas smell coming from the right side rear near the exhaust of my vehicle. I have been told that the tank has to be dropped (a very expensive service) to determine the issue with fuel and that there is a visible leak when the car is parked and running. I have noticed that there are numerous complaints about this same problem from other 2007 chevy Equinox owners. This is obviously a manufacture defect that needs to addressed by a proper recall. This defect is very dangerous and could be fatal if not fixed.

I started smell fuel and around 10/04/2012 I notice it was leaking fuel around the fuel tank.

Anytime we start the Equinox up, all you smell is raw gasoline smell. It fills up the cabin, and gives me bad headaches. We had looked for obvious leaks but didn't see any at first. We weren't losing much if any gas mileage, until the last 2 tanks when it's gotten worse. My coworkers know when I get to work without seeing me because the fuel odor is so bad, they can smell me upon arrival. I have been having headaches frequently, and sometimes even feel nauseated. Last Monday was the first time, my husband was driving behind me in our other vehicle and he told me to pull over at the next gas station, because I was actually leaking fuel this time. I was scared to death, here I still had about 20-25 miles to drive before getting home, and yet I am like a traveling explosion waiting to happen. I researched Monday night and found that there are tons of others in our same boat. This is a danger to us, and everyone else on the road when it gets ready to blow. Gm needs to back up their products and do a mandatory recall before people get killed from their negligence. We like most of the people who have filed complaints have been quoted well over $1000-1800 to fix this problem. Like most others, we are struggling for money, and now have one less vehicle we can drive, but still owe on it, so we're stuck. This is not right, what is it going to take, someone dying before gm will recall this??? ## VIN passed ## chevy Equinox 2007 ##.

First the car fuel tank' the gas gage is not working properly when the gas tank full it shows half or empty, second the head light bulb blows like every two weeks because water is getting into the console or the head light ,the turn signal never turn off after you swish in on and make the turn I have to manually swish it off at all times weather you are in city high way do not matter .

Two weeks ago, started smelling gasoline while driving. Didn't see any obvious leakage. Took to sullivan Saturn/Chevrolet to have emission repair but they can't identify problem without removing gas tank. They charge for this $500 without knowing the exact problem or if it is covered by emission warranty. The car is two years old and the leak, whether emission or tank should not have happened. I think possible defect and it is very dangerous to drive. This should be covered as a safety issue and emission issue.

2006 chevy Equinox fuel gauges does not read accurate. When full it reads 3/4 of tank to 1/2. It will then go to almost full as gas goes down. I noticed there are numerous complaints online about this problem from others. This should be a recall item as it is not safe when you don't know how much fuel you have. Gm says its a corrosion problem with the sender in the tank. Shouldn't that be there problem to fix? seems they chose the wrong material to use in the tank if that is the case. I have never owned any other car which has had this problem. Gm says the sending unit needs replaced at a cost of over $500. 00 including labor.
