My gas cap has gone bad on a 2 1/2 yr old SUV? I was told this is rare by the state inspector. The dealer does not want to help me at all and I do not understand as I have had one problem after with my SUV.
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.
I had 2 Chevy Equinox 2007 model, loaded. First vehicle repurchased due to multiple episodes of stabilitrak failure, turn signals quit working, radio problems, passenger system airbag not working, and finally failure of main airbag system. Given exact twin of first car, as thought that car was just a lemon. 2nd Equinox had 2 episodes of stabilitrak failure, and a new steering column placed, and then had total system failure of the steering, brakes, gas, stabilitrak, and airbag system while driving the vehicle. I had absolutely no control over any of these systems! you could turn my steering wheel 360 degrees, and the wheels never moved, the brakes didn't work, the gas didn't work, and all alarms were going off that the systems, including the airbags were not working. Luckily, no one was injured as I had just begun making a turn into roadway and all vehicles coming at me both ways were able to swerve, and the car was going slow enough and over a slight incline that it rolled to a stop just before hitting a steel light post. This car was also repurchased. Something is very wrong in the engineering of this vehicle and I am concerned for all the other people owning/driving this vehicle.
