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.

I PURCHASED THIS CAR OFF OF SOMEONE, THERE HAS BEEN NO ACCIDENT REPORTS. IT JUST SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING. MY CAR ONLY HAS 98,000 MILES.IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE COVERED BY CHEVY.

07 EQUINOX VEHICLE WOULDN'T START, KEY STUCK IN IGNITION. TRIED WIGGLING STEERING WHEEL WHICH WAS NOT LOCKED AND WOULD NOT LOCK. THE KEY WOULD NOT COME ALL THE WAY BACK IN ORDER TO GET IT OUT. CAR WAS IN PARK AT HOME THANK GOD. TRIED EVERYTHING I KNOW EVEN LOOKED IT UP ON GOOGLE. THERE WERE SO MANY COMPLAINTS ON THIS ABOUT 07 EQUINOX KEY STUCK AND SOME VEHICLES WOULD START AND LOTS MORE WOULDNT?? WE TRIED TO DO START BUT IT DID NOT TURN OVER. WE HAD TO PUT ON A CHARGER AND MONITOR THE BATTERY TO SEE IF IT WOULD CHARGE. LATER THAT NIGHT I TOOK THE VEHICLE OFF THE CHARGER AND TRIED IT AND IT STARTED. WENT AND HAD BATTERY CHECKED AT ADVANCE AUTO AND THEY SAID BATTERY HAS NO PROBLEMS FULLY CHARGED. HOW CAN THAT BE WHAT IS CAUSING THIS. I SEEN ONLINE MANY, MANY, COMPLAINTS ON THIS EQUINOX ISSUE AND IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. WHAT HAPPENS IF IT DECIDES TO JUST STOP WORKING ON THE INTERSTATE GOING 65-75 MPH. SOMEONE COULD GET SERIOUS INJURED KILLED IF THEY LOSE POWER ALL OF A SUDDEN. NO LIGHTS WERE LEFT ON, NOTHING WAS LEFT ON CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO DRAIN THE BATTERY ALL OF A SUDDEN. THE KEY WAS NOT LEFT IN THE VEHICLE I WENT TO START IT AND KEY STAYED STUCK IN IGNITION AND TURNED OVER BUT NOTHING NO POWER. IF YOU LOSE POWER DRIVING YOU LOSE POWER STEERING. POWER BRAKES, AND IT TAKES A WHILE TO GET VEHICLE TO A STOP. EVEN USING PARKING BRAKE WHICH MOST PEOPLE WOULD PANIC AND FORGET TO TRY N GET VEHICLE STOPPED AND CRASH INTO AND CARS OR PEDESTRIANS FOR THAT MATTER IF POWER GOES OUT WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED. THIS NEED TO BE RECALLED AND FIGURE OUT WHAT IS CAUSING THIS PROBLEM. I HAD TO RECHARGE BATTERY MYSELF. IT CHECKED OUT AS GOOD BATTERY FULLY CHARGED? NO PREVIOUS INCIDENTS ON THIS MATTER THANK GOD. SHOULD RECALL ALL 07 EQUINOX AND HAVE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM CHECKED.

MY 2007 CHEVY EQUINOX INSTRUMENT PANEL HAS BEEN ACTING UP HERE RECENTLY AND THE SPEEDOMETER GOES TO 120MPH AND STAYS THERE. YOU CAN'T TELL HOW FAST YOU ARE GOING. THAT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THE GAS GAUGE N TEMPERATURE GAUGE WILL GO TO THE TOP LIKE FULL OR HOT OR NOT MOVE AT ALL. COULD BURN AN ENGINE UP OR RUN OUT OF GAS. RECALL WAS DONE I HEARD BUT NOT ON ALL 2007EQUINOX VEHICLES AND IT SHOULD HAVE INCLUDED ALL. THERE ARE A LOT STILL ON THE ROAD. I AM ASKING FOR SAFETY REASONS TO INCLUDE ALL 2007 CHEVY EQUINOX VEHICLES TO BE RECALLED AND FIXED BY GM. IT IS VERY EXPENSIVE TO HAVE REPAIRED AT A SHOP OR AT THE DEALER. IF I WAS ABLE TO DO MYSELF I WOULD BUT I'M NOT A MECHANIC OR DO I KNOW ELECTRICAL SO I'M NOT DOING IT. I WANT IT DONE BY A PROFESSIONAL AND I AM PLEADING THAT ALL 07 CHEVY EQUINOX VEHICLES BE INCLUDED AND A NEW RECALL BE SENT OUT TO ALL 2007 OWNERS. THAT IS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. NOT KNOWING THE SPEED YOU ATE GOING IS UNSAFE. IT GAS BEEN GOING ON NOW SINCE DECEMBER 2019 AND NOW ITS EVERYDAY. THE GAUGES MIGHT WORK ONE DAY THEN NOT WORK FOR 3 DAYS THEN WORK AGAIN FOR ONE DAY. IT NEEDS TO RECALLED ASAP. DOESN'T MATTER IF VEHICLE IS MOVING OR PARKED. IT WILL HO UP 120MPH AND STAY THERE FOR DAYS.

Air bags, Sep 16, 2019, crash
TAKATA RECALL. ON MARCH 29TH 2015 I WAS INVOLVED IN A AUTO ACCIDENT. AS A RESULT OF THAT ACCIDENT, I SUFFERED A BROKEN WRIST, BROKEN JAW, AND THE LOSS OF MY LEFT EYE. ALL OF THESE INJURIES WERE THE RESULT OF MY VEHICLES AIRBAG SYSTEM. IN THE ACCIDENT, NONE OF MY WINDOWS WERE BROKEN, THERE WERE NO LOOSE ITEMS IN THE VEHICLE. THE ONLY THING IN THE VEHICLE THAT HIT ME WAS THE AIRBAG AND ITS IS THE ONLY THING WHICH HAD BLOOD ON IT IN THE VEHICLE. I WAS WEARING MY SEATBELT AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY (ATLANTIC CITY EXPRESSWAY) WHEN A TURNPIKE COMMISSION VEHICLE MADE A U-TURN AND TURNED UP IN FRONT OF ME LEADING TO THE ACCIDENT. MY VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING ON A FLAT HIGHWAY AT NIGHT, ON A STRAIGHT SECTION OF ROAD AT THAT TIME. I WAS THEN TRAPPED INSIDE MY VEHICLE FOR AN HOUR UNTIL RESCUE WORKERS HAD TO CUT ME OUT SO THAT I COULD BE FLOWN TO THE NEAREST TRAUMA UNIT. MY YEAR VEHICLE IS ALSO THE SAME YEAR THAT ALL OTHER CHEVY VEHICLES (AVALANCHE, SILVERADO LD/HD, TAHOE, AND SUBURBON) ON THE RECALL STARTED WHICH IS 2007. MY CHEVY EQUINOX WHICH IS ALSO IN THEIR SUV / TRUCK LINEUP IS NO DIFFERENT FROM THOSE AND USED THE SAME AIRBAG, TAKATA.

PURCHASED THE CAR USED WITH 115K MILES. THE FIRST SIGN OF AN ISSUE WAS THE SOUND OF WATER RUSHING TO THE HEATER CORE (AIR). CAR STARTED OVERHEATING A FEW WEEKS LATER AS THE OUTDOORS TEMPERATURE STARTED TO CLIMB IN LATE SPRING. I STARTED TO SEE WHITE SMOKE COMING FROM THE TAIL PIPE AND WAS HAVING TO ADD COOLANT EVERY OTHER DAY. THE ISSUE STARTED TO GET WORSE SO I TOOK IT TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED A HEAD GASKET FAILURE. THE ISSUE HAPPENS MORE FREQUENTLY ON HILLS, DURING HOT WEATHER AND WHILE STOPPED AT LIGHTS OR IN TRAFFIC. I TRIED TO USE A HEAD GASKET SEALANT WHICH WORKED FOR ABOUT A MONTH AND THEN THE CAR BEGAN TO OVERHEAT AGAIN. I CHECKED OUT SEVERAL FORUMS AND FIND THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE IN THIS VEHICLE DUE TO A POOR CHOSE OF HEAD GASKET WITH SOME ANTIFREEZE/COOLANT TYPES. HEAD GASKET REPLACEMENT IS VERY EXPENSIVE AND SHOULD BE COVERED BY A RECALL. THE RADIATOR HOSES ARE OVER PRESSURIZING AND WILL CAUSE RUPTURES WHICH WILL END UP BURNING SOMEONE SEVERELY.

THIS VEHICLE WAS SUPPOSEDLY REPAIRED IN A PREVIOUS RECALL, HOWEVER THE ISSUE WITH THE PASSENGER SEAT AIRBAG SENSOR PERSISTS. RECENTLY IT IS INCREASINGLY DIFFICULT TO GET THE SENSOR TO WORK FOR THE FRONT SEAT PASSENGER, AND IT GOES ON AND OFF AS THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN. EITHER THE REPAIR WAS NOT ADEQUATE TO COMPLETELY RESOLVE THE PROBLEM OR NOT ACTUALLY COMPLETED.

I HAD MY REAR BRAKES REPLACED AND THEN A WEEK LATER THE SERVICE STABILITRAK LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP I GOT MY BRAKES REPLACED AT AND THE LIGHT WENT OFF AND THEY DIDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THE LIGHT WENT OFF AND ON INTERMITTENTLY FOR WEEKS AND THEN FINALLY TURNED OFF. NEXT I STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS GETTING THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION AFTER TURNING THE CAR OFF. I WOULD HAVE TO TURN THE CAR BACK ON, PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE, AND TURN IT OFF AGAIN TO GET THE KEY OUT SOMETIMES SEVERAL TIMES IN A ROW. NOW I DROVE MY CAR AND PARKED AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE AND THEN I TURNED IT ON A FEW HOURS LATER AND THE POWER STEERING FAILED. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAY THE POWER STEERING CONTROL MODULE IS BAD AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. MY ISSUES ARE THE EXACT SAME AS MANY OTHER DRIVERS HAVE NOTED AND MY CAR IS NOT PART OF A RECALL, BUT THE POWER STEERING SUDDENLY FAILING WITH NO WARNING LIGHT MONTHS AFTER THE DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS FINE AND REPLACED BRAKES SEEMS ODD. THERE IS OBVIOUSLY A DEFECT TO THE POWER STEERING IN THE EQUINOX THAT'S LEADING TO ERRATIC WARNING LIGHTS, KEY REMOVAL DIFFICULTIES, AND POWER STEERING SUDDENLY GOING OUT. CHEVY NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED. IN ADDITION, THE STABILITRAK CONTROL AND CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE INTERMITTENT ELECTRONIC DISCONNECTION WAS IN THE STEERING COLUMN AND THE STEERING COLUMN NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THERE WERE NO WARRANTIES OR RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 115,000.

I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S A TAKATA INFLATOR, BUT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE 2007 CHEVY EQUINOX, BUT, FOR SOME REASON THE RECALL DID NOT HAVE MY WIFE'S CAR'S VIN # REGARDING THIS RECALL. SO, HER CAR DID NOT RECEIVE A RECALL NOTICE! WHAT I'M UPSET ABOUT IS, THAT SHE HAS LOW MILEAGE ON HER CAR, AND HAD THE SAME PROBLEM, JUST RECENTLY, AND IT'S THE SAME MODEL AND YEAR, REGARDING THE RECALL, THAT DID NOT INVOLVE HER CAR! I WAS TOLD BY GM, THAT BECAUSE HER VIN # WAS NOT "IN" THE RECALL, THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THAT THEY COULD DO, BUT IF I WANTED TO, BECAUSE IT'S A SAFETY PROBLEM, THAT I COULD CONTACT YOU! AND "THEN" IF YOU TOLD THEM THAT IT WAS A SAFETY PROBLEM, WHICH IT IS, THAT YOU COULD THEN, GET IN TOUCH WITH GM, AND THEY WOULD TAKE CARE OF IT! SO, WHAT CAN BE DONE, THIS SHOULDN'T BE LIKE THIS!!! PLEASE HELP US TAKE CARE OF THIS SAFETY PROBLEM ON MY WIFE'S 2007 CHEVY EQUINOX IF YOU WOULD PLEASE! REGARDING THE NOTE BELOW, MY WIFE WAS SIMPLY DRIVING, AND THE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON, AND THAT WAS IT. WHEN I GOT IN TOUCH WITH GM, THEY DID TELL ME THAT THERE "WAS" A RECALL ON THIS, BUT BECAUSE MY WIFE'S EQUINOX DID NOT FALL INTO THEIR RECALL VIN #, THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THAT THEY COULD DO! IF IT WAS A DIFFERENT MODEL, YEAR, ETC. THEN I COULD UNDERSTAND OF COURSE, BUT NOT WHEN IT'S THE SAME CAR, AND MODEL, THAT THEY RECALLED!!! THANK YOU FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE, IN ANY WAY! *TR

THIS VEHICLE IS ONE OF SEVERAL THAT HAVE BEEN REPORTED TO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH WHEEL SPEED AND PSI SENSORS, WHICH THEN CAUSES THE TRACTION CONTROL TO BELIEVE COMPUTER WISE IT HAS NO TRACTION, THEREFORE THE LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON AND THE COMPUTER SOMETIMES SHUT THE TRACTION CONTROL OFF WHEN IT NEEDS TO BE ON. IT ALSO HAS AIRBAG TROUBLE WITH THE PASSENGER SEAT, ALSO LIKE THE RECALL. HOWEVER, DESPITE THE FACT 2007'S WERE ISSUED THIS RECALL, IT'S SAYING MY 'VIN' DOES APPLY TO THESE RECALLS. FIND THAT HARD TO BELIEVE WHEN THESE THINGS ARE MESSED UP. JUST WANT GM MOTORS TO AWKNOWLEDGE IT'S POSSIBLE THAT THIS VEHICLE WAS MISMANUFACTURED.

MY DAUGHTERS 2007 EQUINOX , HAS THE WELL KNOWN, PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG SENSOR FAILURE PROBLEM. IN.CASE OF AN ACCIDENT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY. THIS IS AN $800 +/- FIX. SEVERAL THOUSAND EQUINOX, TORRENT, SATURN AND OTHER GM CARS BUILT ON THIS PLATFORM ARE AFFECTED. SEVERAL MODEL YEARS SUFFER FROM THIS AILMENT. "FAILURE OF THE AIR BAG TO DEPLOY CAN RESULT IN INCREASED INJURIES OR DEATH." THE SATURN SKY AND PONTIAC SOLSTICE HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM AND IT WAS CORRECTED RECENTLY UNDER RECALL. IT IS MY OPINION THAT THESE VEHICLES SHOULD BE RECALLED AND THIS PROBLEM CORRECTED.
