General Motors (GM) is recalling certain model year 2007 Chevrolet Equinox and Pontiac Torrent vehicles originally sold or currently registered in Arizona, California, Nevada, and Texas; model year 2007 Chevrolet Cobalt, Pontiac G5, and Saturn ION vehicles originally sold, or currently registered in, Arizona, California, Florida, Nevada, or Texas; model year 2008 Chevrolet Cobalt and Pontiac G5 vehicles originally sold, or currently registered in, Arizona; and model year 2009 Chevrolet Cobalt and Pontiac G5 vehicles originally sold, or currently registered in, Arkansas, Arizona, California, Nevada, Oklahoma, or Texas. Some of these vehicles have a condition in which the plastic supply or return port on the fuel pump module may crack, which could cause a fuel leak.
Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source may result in a fire.
GM will notify owners, and dealers will replace the fuel pump module, free of charge. Notification to owners began on on November 21, 2012. Owners were instructed to not bring their vehicles in for repair until January 2013. Owners may contact General Motors at 1-800-521-7300.

CERTAIN PASSENGER VEHICLES NOT EQUIPPED WITH OPTIONAL ROOF RAIL AIRBAGS OR OPTIONAL SUNROOF FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 201,"OCCUPANT PROTECTION IN INTERIOR IMPACT." DURING NHTSA IMPACT TESTS, THE INTERIOR OCCUPANT PROTECTION TEST POINTS EXCEEDED THE STANDARD REQUIREMENTS.
THE RESULTS OF THIS TEST INDICATED A POSSIBILITY OF AN INCREASED RISK OF HEAD INJURY IN A CRASH.
DEALERS WILL INSTALL AN ENERGY ABSORBING FOAM PIECE TO EACH OF THE A-PILLAR TRIM ASSEMBLIES FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON MAY 8, 2008. OWNERS MAY CONTACT CHEVROLET AT 1-800-630-2438 OR PONTIAC AT 1-800-620-7668.

Air bags, frontal, sensor/control module-inactiveAug 7, 2007
CERTAIN SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES FAIL TO CONFORM TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 208, "OCCUPANT CRASH PROTECTION." IN THESE VEHICLES, THE RIGHT FRONT PASSENGER SEAT IS BUILT WITH A PASSENGER SENSING SYSTEM. WHEN TESTED WITH A REPRESENTATIVE UNRESTRAINED SMALL ADULT, THE SYSTEM IS REQUIRED TO TURN THE RIGHT FRONT PASSENGER'S FRONTAL AIRBAG ON. AN ERROR IN THE SEAT SENSOR CALIBRATION CAN CAUSE IT TO FAIL THIS TEST. IN ADDITION, THIS CONDITION CAN PREVENT THE AIRBAG FROM TURNING OFF WHEN THE SEAT IS OCCUPIED BY A SMALL CHILD.
WHENEVER THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT IS OCCUPIED, THE DRIVER SHOULD ALWAYS CHECK THE AIRBAG INDICATOR TO SEE IF THE AIRBAG IS ON OR OFF. IF IT IS NOT CORRECT FOR THE SITUATION, THE PASSENGER SHOULD BE MOVED TO A DIFFERENT SEAT. THIS CAN INCREASE THE RISK OF INJURY TO A SEAT OCCUPANT DURING CERTAIN CRASH CONDITIONS.
DEALERS WILL REPROGRAM THE SEAT'S ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT. THE MANUFACTURER HAS NOT YET PROVIDED AN OWNER NOTIFICATION SCHEDULE FOR THIS CAMPAIGN. OWNERS MAY CONTACT CHEVROLET AT 1-800-630-2438 OR PONTIAC AT 1-800-620-7668.

CERTAIN VEHICLES FAIL TO CONFORM TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 212, "WINDSHIELD MOUNTING." AN INCORRECT PRIMER MAY HAVE BEEN USED WHEN INSTALLING THE WINDSHIELD. THE SAME PRIMER MAY HAVE ALSO BEEN APPLIED TO THE LIFTGATE GLASS AND THE SIDE STATIONARY GLASS.
IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH, THE WINDSHIELD MAY NOT BE RETAINED TO THE EXTENT REQUIRED BY THE STANDARD, INCREASING THE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURIES TO THE VEHICLE OCCUPANTS.
DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE WINDSHIELD, THE LIFTGATE GLASS, AND THE SIDE STATIONARY GLASS. THE RECALL BEGAN ON JUNE 14, 2007. OWNERS MAY CONTACT CHEVROLET AT 1-800-630-2438 OR PONTIAC AT 1-800-620-7668.

Air bags, Mar 5, 2010, crash
I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT WERE I STRUCK TWO HORSES THAT RUN OUT INTO THE HIGHWAY IN FRONT OF ME IN MY 2007 CHEVROLET EQUINOX LSI. THE FIRST HORSE STRUCK MY PASSENGERSIDE FRONT QUARTER PANEL AND THIS CAUSED ME TO SWERVE INTO ANOTHER HORSE ON THE DRIVER SIDE. I WAS TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH AND THE DAMAGE TO THE FRONT OF MY CAR WAS VERY SERIOUS AND MY COMPLAINT IS THAT THE AIRBAGS NEVER DEPLOYED DURING THE CRASH. I KNOW THAT THE AIRBAGS ARE SET OF BY SPECIFIC SPEEDS AND DAMAGE BUT MY WHOLE FRONT OF MY 2007 CHEVROLET EQUINOX LS WAS NEARLY REMOVED. I WAS WEARING MY SAFETY BELT AND IT OFFERED LITTLE HELP SINCE I WAS HIT TWICE FROM OPPOSITE SIDES. I WAS TOLD BY RESPONDING EMERGENCY CREW THAT THE AIRBAG MUST HAVE BEEN FAULTY SINCE IT DID NOT DEPLOY. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. INTERMITTENTLY, THE PASSENGER AIR BAG "ON/OFF INDICATOR SHOWS "AIR BAG OFF" WITH A PASSENGER IN THE SEAT. THIS OCCUR WITH PASSENGERS WEIGHING FROM 100LBS. TO 200LBS. THE ONLY WAY I CAN GET THE "AIR BAG ON" INDICATOR TO WORK IN BY TURNING THE ENGINE OFF AND THEN RESTARTING THE ENGINE. I OFTEN MUST REPEAT THIS PROCEDURE SIX OR EIGHT TIME BEFORE THE "AIR BAG ON" INDICATOR IS ILLUMINATED. THE LOCAL DEALER HAS REPLACED THE PASSENGER AIR BAG MODULE TO NO AVAIL. THEY SAY THAT THIS IS AN ISOLATED PROBLEM & THERE IS NO CORRECTION. THIS OPINION WAS ECHOED DURING PHONE CONVERSATIONS WITH CUSTOMER SERVICE PERSONNEL AT GENERAL MOTORS. I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS MATTER, ON A LOCAL LEVEL FOR APPROX. 18MOS. WITH ANY PROGRESS THIS REPRESENTS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY PROBLEM FOR MY PASSENGERS I'VE SEARCHED THIS PROBLEM ON YOUR WEB SITE & NOTE THAT YOUR RECORDS SHOW 57 COMPLAINTS FOR THIS PARTICULAR AUTO. ELEVEN (20%) WERE FOR THE PROBLEM I'VE DESCRIBED IN THIS COMPLAINT. I BELIEVE THERE IS JUSTIFICATION FOR A RECALL OR OTHER REMEDIATION. INCIDENT HAS BEEN ONGOING SINCE10/08.

1997 EQUINOX PASSENGER SEAT SENSOR INTERMITTENT. ROSE CHEVROLET CLAIMS THEY REPLACED THE SENSOR UNDER WARRANTY THAT THEY HAD TO WAIT 3 DAYS FOR.

TOO MANY TIMES TO COUNT THE PASSENGER AIR BAG SENSORS HAVE NOT DETECTED VARIOUS PASSENGERS IN THIS 07 EQUINOX. BROUGHT IT TO DEALERSHIP 2 TIMES INCLUDING ONCE WHEN SENSORS WERE REPLACED, HAVE COMPLAINED VIA PHONE NUMEROUS TIMES & TOLD THEY COULDN'T FIX IT. CALLED GM HOTLINE 02/13/08 & OPENED A NEW COMPLAINT CASE BASED ON THIS & 2 OTHER "UNFIXABLE" PROBLEMS. THEY REQUESTED 1 MORE CHANCE & TRUCK WAS BROUGHT IN 02/25/08. 02/26/08 GM REP CALLED & TOLD ME THE DEALERSHIP LOOKED AT IT & INVOLVED GM ENGINEERS & THAT THERE WAS NO FIX & HE NEEDED TO CALL THE FIELD MGR TO AUTHORIZE A RESOLUTION SINCE TRUCK COULD NOT BE RETURNED DUE TO SAFETY LIABILITIES. 02/29/08 STILL NO RETURN CALL TO GM FROM FIELD MANAGER. GM STATES TO STAY IN RENTAL VEHICLE SINCE TRUCK IS A SAFETY LIABILITY & SHOULD NOT BE DRIVEN. 03/05/08 GM REP STATES THAT, ALTHOUGH HE DOES NOT AGREE, THE FIELD MGR STATED THAT WHEN A PASSENGER IS PRESENT THEY NEED TO WATCH FOR THE "AIR BAG OFF" LIGHT TO BE ILLUMINATED & THE PASSENGER NEEDS TO WIGGLE AROUND AND MOVE UNTIL IT GOES OUT. SHE MANDATED THAT WE RETURN THE RENTAL CAR IMMEDIATELY AS GM WOULD NOT PAY FOR IT & WE NEEDED TO RETRIEVE OUR TRUCK SINCE IT WAS WORKING AS DESIGNED. UNBELIEVING THAT THIS WOULD ACTUALLY BE GM'S STANCE ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY HAVE A VOLUNTARY RECALL OUT ON THIS EXACT ISSUE IN THIS VEHICLE (GM RECALL 07174) I ASKED HIM TO CONFIRM THAT HE WAS TELLING ME TO PICK UP THE TRUCK THEY HAD BEEN TELLING ME WAS UNSAFE FOR PASSENGERS KNOWING THAT THERE WOULD BE A NEED FOR PASSENGERS IN THE VEHICLE, HE SAID THAT WASN'T HIS DECISION & THERE WAS NOTHING MORE HE COULD DO. I HAVE NUMEROUS PICTURES OF THE "AIR BAG OFF" LIGHT ILLUMINATED WITH SOMEONE CLEARLY IN THE PASSENGER SEAT, DATED NOTES DOCUMENTING ALL CONTACT WITH GM ON THIS ISSUE & FULL RECORDS OF THE PREVIOUS REPAIR ATTEMPTS SINCE LAST YEAR. IT'S MY BELIEF THAT NOT ONLY IS GM RECALL 07174 MORE WIDESPREAD THAN THEY ARE ADMITTING BUT I ALSO DON'T BELIEVE THEY CAN DEFINITIVELY FIX IT. *TR

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. *TR
