AIR BAGS
The airbag on the passenger side of my 2007 Chevrolet Equinox LS. Has never worked correctly. I purchase my 2007 Chevrolet Equinox LS coming up on 2 year's ago. Since I purchased my car the passenger side air bag has never worked correctly. Sometimes it would turn on maybe 5% of the time I had a passenge. The 95% it doesn't come on and says service air bag. Now the service air bag is staying on. Chevrolet had a big recall on the 2007 Chevrolet Equinox for 2 or 3 problems with the passenger air bag. I can not afford to pay for this myself. I feel Chevrolet should pay for the fix. I am scared to drive my Equinox because I don't know if it is going to deploy while I'm driving. I had reported this on KKB more then once. I would greatly appreciate some information on how I can make Chevrolet pay for the fix. Thank you for your time

My passenger airbag doesn't pick up when someone is sitting in it and says service airbag. Chevrolet had recalls on them but not in my state. Now no one has to be in the seat and it will flash service airbag and the light on the dash stays on. I can't afford to fix it myself and think Chevrolet is responsible for the fix.

Passenger seat airbag is malfunctioning. It won't also sense that a passenger is seating in the seat. I am referring to a full grown adult and not a young child, so weight is not an issue and it should sense someone occupying the seat. The airbag will turn off and on while driving with the passenger seat occupied. When this happens, the service airbag system message comes across the dash as well as the red airbag light. This is a very serious safety issue that needs to be looked into. A passenger could get seriously injured or possibly die in the event of an accident, as the airbag won't deploy. First noticed the issue a few months ago and it seems to be happening more frequently.

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. 😔 😟

THE PASSENGER AIRBAG SENSOR WAS NOT WORKING CORRECTLY. IT WOULD SOMETIMES NOT REGISTER IF SOMEONE WAS SITTING IN THE SEAT OR NOT. THEN THE SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND HAS STAYED ON. THIS MEANS THAT THE AIRBAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY IN CASE OF A CRASH. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. I LOOKED UP TO SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL ON IT. THERE ISN'T AN OPEN RECALL ON MY PARTICULAR VIN NUMBER BUT THERE IS ON SOME OF THE SAME MODEL. I HAVE SEEN MANY COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER OWNERS OF 2007 CHEVY EQUINOXES. I BELIEVE THIS IS A MANUFACTURER PROBLEM AND SHOULD HAVE A RECALL ISSUED FOR IT. THE REPAIR COST IS ABOUT $1000.

ENGINE OVERHEATING "STATIONARY AND IN MOTION" SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH MOST 2006 AND ABOVE. I REPLACED THE THERMOSTAT, THE WATER PUMP, I PERFORMED A RADIATOR FLUSH, REPLACED THE ECT SENSOR, AND STILL THE CAR OVER HEATS. I DID A COMPRESSION TEST AND IT'S FINE, I CHECKED THE HEAD GASKETS AND THEY ARE FINE. THE OIL LOOKS FINE, THE RADIATOR FLUID LOOKS FINE. I WENT THROUGH A CAR WASH AFTER REPLACING THE WATER PUMP, THERMOSTAT, AND ECT SENSOR. THE CAR STILL OVER HEATS, BOTH AT IDLE AND AFTER DRIVING 2 MILES OR 10 MILES. I'VE BEEN TOLD IT'S EITHER AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE, A RADIATOR ISSUE, OR ENGINE ELECTRICAL ISSUE. I CAN NOT KEEP PUTTING MONEY INTO A CAR THAT IS ONLY WORTH $2,500. MANY OTHER PEOPLE I HAVE NOTICED POSTED THE SAME ISSUE OF OVER HEATING AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE ABOUT IT. IT SHOULD BE A CHEVY RECALL, AND REPAIRED BY THE MANUFACTURER. HERE IS AN EXAMPLE OF 1 OTHER COMPLAINT:........ON NOVEMBER 17TH THE VEHICLE STARTED TO TELL ME THAT IT WAS OVERHEATING AND TO TURN A/C OFF. A/C WAS NOT EVEN ON BECAUSE IT WAS COLD AND THE HEAT WAS BLOWING COLD AIR. THE VEHICLE THEN TOLD ME WHILE I WAS TRYING TO GET TO A SAFE LOCATION TO PULL OVER THAT THE ENGINE POWER WAS REDUCED AND THE VEHICLE STATED TO CRAWL ALONG THE ROAD. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS LOOKED AT WHERE I PULLED OVER THERE WAS MINIMAL OIL IN THE VEHICLE AND IT HAD BLOW COOLANT ALL OVER THE DRIVER SIDE WHEEL WELL FROM WHAT LOOKED LIKE THE OVERFLOW TUBE. OIL WAS PUT IN THE VEHICLE SO THAT I COULD DRIVE IT TO A SAFE LOCATION. ON NOVEMBER 18TH I WENT TO START THE VEHICLE TO GO TO WORK AND WITHOUT GOING ANY PLACE BUT SITTING IN THE DRIVEWAY IT STARTED TO TELL ME THAT THE ENGINE WAS OVERHEATING AND TO TURN A/C OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED. THE DEALERSHIP THAT I USE WORKED ON IT AND REPLACED THE TEMP CONTROL AND THERMOSTAT AND DID A COMPLETE OIL CHANGE. MANY OTHER EQUINOX OWNERS ARE HAVING SAME ISSUE

WE BOUGHT OUR SON THIS VEHICLE WHEN HE GOT HIS LICENSE BACK IN SEPT 2019. THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT SENSOR ISN'T WORKING CAUSING THE PASSENGER AIR BAG TO NOT BE SAFELY ENGAGED. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE A RECALL AND REPLACED IMMEDIATELY. ALSO, THERE IS HARDLY ANY HEAT COMING FROM THE BLOWERS. WE HAD IT IN MULTIPLE TIMES BUT NOONE CAN FIGURE IT OUT. WE HAVE REPLACED: HEATER CORE, WATER PUMP, THERMOSTAT, RADIATOR, RESEVOIR. ECT..FLUSHED IT A MILLION TIMES AND HAD THE HEADS PRESSURE CHECKED, NOTHING WORKED. IT GETS VERY LITTLE HEAT WHEN IDLING, AND GIVES "LUKE WARM" HEAT WHEN RPMS INCREASE WHILE DRIVING. LAST WINTER MY SON COULD HARDLY KEEP HIS WINDSHIELD DEFROSTED/DEFOGGED AND ALMOST LOST VISIBILITY WHILE DRIVING TO SCHOOL. NOT TO MENTION FREEZING TO DEATH WITH NO ADEQUATE HEAT. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE.

WHILE DRIVING SUDDENLY STABLITRAK SERVICE LIGHT AND ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. DOOR LOCKS START UNLOCKING AND LOCKING, ALL LIGHTS START FLASHING AND CAR SLOWS DOWN. AT THE SAME TIME STEERING WHEEL BECOMES VERY TIGHT AND UNABLE TO TURN. HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING ANY SPEED. HAVE HAD MANY VISITS TO MECHANICS: ECM REPLACED AND PROGRAMMED WAS THE LAST ATTEMPT PRIOR TO THAT I HAD A NEW STARTED PUT ON. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE FOR CHEVROLET'S FROM MY RESEARCH. RECENTLY BOUGHT A USED 2014 CHEVY TRAVERSE LT AND I'M STARTED TO SEE THE SAME ISSUES AND I'VE ONLY HAD IT 1 WEEK. I'M VERY UPSET THESE MODELS AREN'T SAFE. TO MANY TIMES TO COUNT HOW MANY TIME IT'S HAPPENED MAYBE 30-40 IN 1 YEAR.

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.

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 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!

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.

PASSENGER AIRBAG SENSOR DOES NOT REGISTER WITH AIRBAG CONTROL MODULE. BROUGHT IT TO CHEVY FOR REPAIR. 600 BUCKS LATER AND A NEW SENSOR, AIRBAG STILL ISN'T RESPONDING. CHEVY TELLS ME I NEED A NEW AIRBAG CONTROL MODULE FOR 700 BUCKS, HAD ALREADY SPENT 1300 ON THAT VISIT. AIRBAG DOES NOT REGISTER PASSENGER, COMPUTER WILL NOT RESET AND SYNC WITH CONTROL MODULE. THIS SHOULDN'T REQUIRE THE ENTIRE MODULE TO BE REPLACED, NOR SHOULD I HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS SINCE THIS I'VE HEARD/READ NUMEROUS CASES ALL DEALING WITH THIS ISSUE ON THE SAME MODEL AND APPARENTLY GM REFUSES TO RECALL (ASIDE FROM THE AIRBAG REPROGRAM WHEN IT FIRST RELEASED) HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM A DEALER, WHO SAID THEY FIXED IT BEFORE I PICKED IT UP. DOES WORK INTERMITTENTLY, WHEN A LARGER PERSON SITS THERE, AIR BAG DOES REGISTER.
