This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
While car is running, fuel is leaking out the top of the tank. Fuel is leaking on exhaust, right under the tank. I have seen recalls on this year and model for a ring breaking around the fuel pump.
Keys constantly stuck in the ignition. The air bag always turns on and off. Now, there's gas leaking somewhere and you can smell it well after the cars off. I think it may be the fuel pump, which is very pricey. All these were recalled in the past but none of them included my car. ???" ?
Purchased a used 2007 Chevrolet Equinox 6 hours after purchase, service airbags light, service T tire monitor system and check engine light came on in the instrument cluster and gags guage stopped working..
As many others, I now have a leaking fuel sending unit on our 2007 Chevy Equinox. Many people have this same problem and Chevy chooses not to address it for us by issuing a recall. When the vehicle is running the fuel system is pressurized which causes fuel to spray out of a faulty joint which is made of plastic that cracks, the fuel then drips down from the tank as it pleases around the exhaust and on to the floor.
The contact owns a 2007 Chevrolet Equinox. The contact noticed an abnormal odor of fuel emerging from the vehicle. Additionally, fuel was seen leaking from the vehicle onto the ground, and the check engine, stability track, and brake indicators illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer (whitney's Chevrolet, 123 pioneer ave w, montesano, wa 98563, (360) 249-4431) where it was diagnosed that there was a hairline crack in the fuel tank and a crack on the fuel module. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified and opened case number: [xxx]. no further assistance was provided. The failure mileage was 114,000.

I purchased a 2007 Chevy Equinox from a private party back in January but due to a mix-up with the title and the previous owner I could not title the car and start driving it until March. I've noticed lately a strong smell of gas and a very loud clunking noise from the driver side front wheel. I took it to a local shop in my town and was told I had a gas leak at the top of the tank and that the sway bar linkage needed to be replaced. In doing my research I found that there was a recall for the fuel leak on the 2007 equinoxes and that many people have had problems with the sway bar linkage going bad and the service stable track light constantly staying on. I also have the problem stating all wheel drive off flashing on my screen. I found that many people put their VIN numbers in the search window and found theirs not to be part of the recall but I'm wondering why if more than just the previous recalled vehicles are having the same issue wouldn't they want another recall issued for the ones that haven't been repaired. I just took it to a GM dealer today in my hometown and they want over $1,400 to fix just the fuel leakage problem I need to know what GM is going to do about it. I don't have 1400 extra dollars to fix this gas leak and I'm scared to drive the vehicle for fear of it starting on fire.
Car smells of gasoline and has trouble starting on the first attempt. Car will start on second attempt but has a very strong gas odor. After taking it to a local mechanic, the car was diagnosed as unsafe to drive and is confirmed to be leaking gasoline. There is a recall for this exact make and model but is listed as only impacting certain states (Arizona, California, Nevada, Texas) but I'm in New Jersey and have seen it also reported in Ohio, South Carolina and New York. This recall needs to be expanded and can be very dangerous!!!
The contact owns a 2007 Chevrolet Equinox. When the vehicle was started, there was an abnormal fuel odor coming from the vehicle. The contact also stated that the front passenger air bag warning indicator illuminated and remained lit. The vehicle was not taken to be diagnosed or repaired. The contact was concerned that the VIN was not included in NHTSA campaign numbers: 07V344000 (air bags) and 12V459000 (fuel system, gasoline). The dealer and manufacturer were not notified. The approximate failure mileage was 84,000.
There seems to be a leak in the fuel line. There is a smell of gas inside and outside of the vehicle when stationary and while driving, which began in approximately March 2017.
Our 2007 Chevy Equinox fuel pump return started leaking fuel on the top of the fuel pump causing fuel to leak on the ground and releases strong gas fumes while parked in our garage. This vehicle is under current safety recall in other states but not in Indiana. Why are only some states under recall but not Indiana?
I started smelling gas odor when exiting the vehicle, I checked around the vehicle did not see any gas spilling anywhere, checked under the vehicle noticed the fuel tank was wet on the backside, the gas is coming from the top of the fuel tank..I noticed there was a recall on this model vehicle and checked and said that my vehicle was not under the recall...why? it sounds like the same thing everyone else is having the same thing happen and the recall is fixing the problem..
My car just recently started to smell like gas. At first, it was a faint smell. Now it is stronger. I can still drive the vehicle but I feel as if it is a safety hazard. I have two small children that ride in this vehicle. My gas meter still works and my range is accurate but the gas smell is becoming very overwhelming.
The vehicle has stable track link error and will not go away, also the fuel guage doesn't work properly. The airbag is not working to protect my passengers in the front seat.
The contact owns a 2007 Chevrolet Equinox. While the vehicle was parked, a strong odor of fuel emitted in and around the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the seal around the fuel pump failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 98,500.
