The gas tank is leaking fuel a fare amount. It began this summer here in mesa AZ. We bought the car in June of 2017 and had no problems with fuel leaking until this summer. Now it has become a hazard and from what I can see, it is coming from the fuel tank. The problem began in late July and I have left it parked since. It has become an serious leak. Because the fuel evaporates quickly, I have not taken any pictures. It did make a six inch puddle under the tank here in the drive way the last time I moved the car a few feet from one side to the other of the drive. I have not driven it since.

While accelerating the vehicle isnt shifting in the proper way it should. There is a chain rattling kind of sound from the engine as it accelerates, closer to the driver side. While braking, the brakes pads are all new, it will sometimes make a grinding sound and have little to no brake resistance if you hit a bump. All in a straight motion.

When I first bought the vehicle with 77,000 miles, I notice a gallon of water in spare wheel well. Had to reseal rear door whether stripe. 5 months later the actuator of the heater failed and broke the blend door to the heater. I didn't have heat for a year. Brake system sensors failed 3 months ago $2000 fixed hub and assembly and knuckles. Fuel injection line broken at only 100,000 miles.

Vehicle randomly shuts off completely at different speeds while driving. It has happened once every three days up to 6 times in 20 minutes. It has occurred on the freeway and city streets. Had PCM reprogrammed, no luck. I have been testing different fixes. While doing so I noticed I am able to pull the key out at any ignition position.

All is good until the reduce engine power and traction control light comes on then you can go about 10mph - also know as "limp mode", which around here would be "run me over" mode. This is dangerous and I have been very fortunate to not get hit when it has happened. October 11, 2008: 45,000 miles replace throttle body assembly March, 2011: 82,000 miles replace throttle body assembly August 2014: 125,142 miles replace throttle body assembly this is ridiculous. This repair at dealership is $700 each time. This is a part that should never have an issue to the point the my dealer actually says I have the only car they have ever had to change out let alone change out three times.

I have had all kind of trouble out of this vehicle. First it was the wheel bearings. Change one an not long after have to change another. Have changed about 4. three on one wheel an one on the other. And now have to change another that I can tell. Then it started with brakes recently. They would stick. Had brakes replaced that didn't fix the problem. Brake lights came on vehicle. Then went off haven't came on since but brakes have stuck more than one time. Very dangerous. Now to get with the air in the vehicle that I have seen several complain about. While car is sitting still the vehicle will stay warm an warm air blowing out. Where it has been cold when driving the car the temp would go down on vehicle making the air blow out cool an I about freeze to death driving. Windows fog up fast. Need a recall if so many people are have the same issue/issues. Can cause major problems if not addressed or fixed. I don't let me kids ride in the car with me anymore cause of this.

The contact owns a 2006 Chevrolet Equinox. The contact was driving 70 mph and noticed a gas leak from the vehicle with the illumination of the check engine light. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnosis where it was stated that the fuel pump module needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired and the manufacturer was notified. The approximate failure mileage was 34,000.

The contact owns a 2006 Chevrolet Equinox. The contact stated that a strong odor of gasoline fuel emitted outside of the vehicle. The contact was not able to locate a fuel leak. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer, who informed the contact that the failure could possibly have been related to a faulty fuel pump. There was a recall issued on the 2007 Chevrolet Equinox model year under NHTSA campaign id number: 12V459000 (fuel system) but not for the 2006 model. The manufacturer was notified of the problem.

On Aug. 26th,2012 my 2006 Chevy Equinox broke down I towed it to the mechanic and found out my fuel pump was cracked and had to be replaced. I paid $750 doll for parts and labor,2 wks before that happened my car was giving off a fuel smell and wouldn't start unless I pressed the gas pedal that worked until it finally broke down.GM is recalling Equinox 2007-09 for fuel injector problems causing to leak gas causing a fuel smell and in danger of the car catching fire because of gas leakage and also damaging the fuel pump my car is a 2006 but has that same problem even after a new fuel pump its still giving me the same problems I think its my fuel injector and GM needs to also recall model yr 2006 I'm afraid I will need a new exp fuel pump again soon or worse my car could catch on fire therefore I'm praying GM does the right thing and include the Chevy Equinox 2006 in its recall because this is a very dangerous and expensive problem. Thank you

My 2006 Equinox initially began having start up issues where the starter would crank and the engine would idle roughly and then die. It would take several attempts to start. Then I figured out if I gave it gas when I started it up it would have a better chance of starting. Sometimes it worked. Then the issue went away for a while and came back with a new issue. The new issue is sometimes the car wouldn't start at all. The starter would click but would not start. It would do this several times and then it would start like nothing was wrong. This happens intermittently. It does not discriminate on location, time of day etc.
