| 2007 | FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | ABOUT A MONTH AGO WE STARTED SMELLING GAS BOTH INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE. AFTER A FEW WEEKS THE VEHICLE WAS STARTING TO HAVE TROUBLE STARTING WHERE IT WOULD SOUND LIKE THE CAR WAS "FLOODED" AND WOULDN'T TURN OVER RIGHT AWAY. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP TODAY AND THEY DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS A CRACKED FUEL MODULE SYSTEM THAT WAS LEAKING FUEL. I HAVE READ THOUSANDS UPON THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS PART ON THIS PARTICULAR EQUINOX AND THERE IS EVEN A RECALL ON THE PART BUT IN ONLY 4 STATES WHICH ISN'T FAIR TO REST OF THE OWNERS THAT ARE SUFFERING THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR |
| 2008 | EXTERIOR LIGHTING | TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY WOULD BECOME FILLED WITH WATER, AFFECTING THE ILLUMINATION OF THE LIGHTS WHEN IN OPERATION. THE CONTACT WAS TOLD BY BOTH THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER THAT IF HE ALLOWED THE VEHICLE TO RUN FOR SIX HOURS, THE WATER WOULD BURN FROM THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REMEDY THAT THE DEALER PROVIDED DID NOT SEEM TO CORRECT THE FAILURE. IN ADDITION, THE FAILURE WOULD RECUR WHENEVER IT WOULD RAIN OR WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN THROUGH THE CAR WASH. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND ADVISED THAT THERE WAS NOT A REMEDY AVAILABLE FOR THE PARTICULAR FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 27,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 31,350. UPDATED 3/13/13 *CN THE CONSUMER HAS SINCE EXPERIENCED ANOTHER HEADLIGHT FAILURE. |
