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.

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.

VEHICLE HEATS UP AND CAUSES WATER HOSES TO OVER HEAT AND BUST UP. THIS CAN CAUSE A SERIOUS BURN INJURY. APPARENTLY THIS IS A PROBLEM CAUSES BECAUSE OF THE HEAD GASKETS THAT WERE USED.THE GASKETS GET DAMAGED AND START CAUSING THE LINES TO FILL UP WITH AIR CAUSING ALOT OF PRESSURE TO.MOTOR AND THEN OVER HEATS.ALL THE LINES THAT BRING WATER TO THE MOTER BUSTED AND VEHICLE WASNT EVEN SHOWING TO BE HOT. VEHICLE STILL WORKS BUT CANT BE USED BECAUSE IT OVERHEATS. LINES WERE REPLACED TWICE BUT WILL BUST IF TRUCK IS TURNED ON . HAVE READ ONLINE THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO SEVEREL OWNERS BUT NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. HAVE ALSO XONTACTED CHEVROLET BUT THEY SAID THEY CANT DO ANYTHING YET. WE WERE ON EXPRESSWAY GOING HOME

HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?TIME_CONTINUE=10&V=GDJL1_ROFHE PLEASE WATCH THE YOUTUBE LINK ABOVE TO CLEARLY SEE WHAT HAPPENED. I WAS DRIVING ON A ROAD WITH A 40 MPH SPEED LIMIT. FORTUNATELY NOBODY WAS IN FRONT OF ME FOR QUITE A WHILE BECAUSE THIS VERY EASILY COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A VERY DANGEROUS ACCIDENT. I WAS BEHIND A CAR GOING UNDER THE SPEED LIMIT SO I CHANGED LANES AND SAW THAT A CAR NOW BEHIND ME IN THE LANE I HAD MOVED INTO WAS DRIVING FAST SO I FLOORED MY ACCELERATOR TO MATCH SPEED AND AVOID CUTTING THEM OFF. AT THE POINT WHEN I BACKED OFF THE GAS I NOTICED THE PEDAL WAS STUCK FLOORED AND I WAS ACCELERATING ALARMINGLY FAST. ONLY BY PUMPING THE BREAKS REPEATEDLY AND KICKING THE GAS PEDAL DID I KNOCK IT LOOSE. THE INCIDENT PROBABLY LASTED 2-5 SECONDS AND I PROBABLY REACHED 50-55 MPH. IT WAS VERY FORTUNATE THAT NOBODY WAS AHEAD OF ME FOR A GOOD WAYS BUT IT WAS REALLY TERRIFYING. IF I HAD BEEN APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION OR RED LIGHT OR CROSSWALK OR JUST TRAFFIC UP AHEAD THIS COULD HAVE RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT. I CHECKED FOR OBSTRUCTIONS AND THERE WASN'T ANY JUNK DOWN AROUND THE GAS PEDAL. I STARTED TO THINK ABOUT MY FLOOR MAT AND REMEMBERED THAT I HAD REPLACED IT RECENTLY WITH A THICK RUBBER GOODYEAR MAT. THE BOTTOM OF THE MAT READS "DRIVER SIDE," "50-1000210," AND "JH 1700 K443. PHOTOS ATTACHED BELOW. THE BOTTOM OF THE GAS PEDAL HAD BECOME CAUGHT IN A GROOVE IN THE FLOOR MAT AND STUCK PRESSED ALL THE WAY DOWN. PHOTOS OF THE DOCUMENTATION ON THE FLOOR MAT ATTACHED BELOW.

GOOD MORNING, I AM WRITING FROM GUATEMALA CITY, GUATEMALA C.A. I BOUGHT, FROM THE LOCAL DEALER, COFIO STAHL, THE EQUINOX 2007 ON JUNE 2007. APPROXIMATELY 5 YEARS AGO MY VEHICLE SHOWED AN AIRBAG SYSTEM ' PASSENGER SENSING PROBLEM, WHICH WAS OVERLOOKED BY THE DEALER, EVEN THOUGH THEY HAD MY CAR ON THEIR WORKSHOPS AT LEAST TWICE A YEAR SINCE 2008 FOR MAINTENANCE AND OIL CHANGE. RECENTLY I FOUND ON THE WEB THE FMVSS NONCOMPLIANCE RECALL, BULLETIN 07174 DATED AUGUST 2007, WHICH CLEARLY INDICATES THAT THE PROBLEM OF MY VEHICLE IS DUE TO A GM SAFETY RECALL. HAVING HANDED THE BULLETIN TO THE LOCAL GM DEALER, THEY RELUCTANTLY PERFORMED THE SERVICE PROCEDURE AS INDICATED, HOWEVER THE PROBLEM WAS NOT SOLVED AND THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO PURSUE WITH THE SOLUTION AT NO CHARGE, NEITHER WILL THEY RECEIVE MY CAR AS PARTIAL PAYMENT FOR ANOTHER VEHICLE. I TOOK THE LIBERTY OF WRITING TO YOU IN THE HOPE TO FIND A SOLUTION, SINCE NOW I AM STUCK WITH A CAR THAT THE DEALER WOULD NOT RECEIVE AND I CANNOT SELL IF THE PROBLEM IS NOT SOLVED. THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR REPLY

LESS THAN 4,000 MILES DRIVEN AFTER I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AS IT WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF 2ND GEAR. THE HEATER CORE ALSO EXPLODED ON THE WAY TO THE DEALERSHIP TO ASSESS THE TRANSMISSION ISSUES. AROUND 20-25,000 MILES AFTER PURCHASE THE ENGINE COOLANT TEMP GAUGE STOPPED REPORTING TEMPERATURES CORRECTLY AND WOULD REDLINE EVEN IF THE CAR WAS OFF FOR OVER 2 DAYS IT WOULD START UP WAY ABOVE THE NORMAL OPERATING TEMPERATURE. THE FUEL GUAGE NO LONGER CORRECTLY INDICATES HOW MUCH GAS IS LEFT IN THE TANK AND WILL NOT MOVE OFF OF EMPTY EVEN AFTER PUMPING 13 GALLONS INTO THE TANK. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AT A RED LIGHT WHEN HEATER CORE BLEW OUT. VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN DURING TRANSMISSION, TEMPERATURE, AND GAS GAUGE FAILURES.

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?

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.
