| 2007 | VISIBILITY | HAVE HAD MY 2007 EQUINOX SINCE 2009 WITH A FEW PROBLEMS. STABILITRAC LIGHT COMING ON....A/C NOT TURNING ON....WINDOW WASHER FLUID NOT SPRAYING. BUT TODAY, OUT OF NOWHERE, A GAS SMELL. NO VISIBLE LEAK, JUST THE SMELL. AFTER SEARCHING ON LINE AND SEEING NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM, I WONDER, DO I TRY AND FIND OUT THE PROBLEM THROUGH A MECHANIC AND PROBABLY SPEND A FORTUNE OR WAIT TO SEE IF A GM REALIZES THERE IS A PROBLEM AND WAIT FOR A RECALL. *TR |
