2007 Chevrolet Equinox Airbags Problems

Your dashboard is displaying a 'Service Passenger Air Bag' warning message. This means your passenger-side airbag system may not be functioning properly and could fail to deploy in a crash. Your dealer has not yet inspected or confirmed the issue. The repair will likely involve diagnostic testing of the airbag system and possible replacement of the airbag module or sensors.

Your passenger-side airbag rarely deploys when it should—only working about 5% of the time you have a passenger—and now displays a constant "service airbag" warning light. You're concerned the airbag might unexpectedly deploy while driving, and you're worried about safety in a crash. The fix will likely require the airbag system to be diagnosed and repaired or replaced by a technician, possibly under a recall campaign.

Your passenger airbag isn't deploying properly when someone sits in that seat, and your dashboard is displaying a 'service airbag' warning light that stays on constantly. The problem has worsened — now the warning appears even when the seat is empty. Your airbag system needs professional diagnosis and repair to ensure passenger safety in a crash.

Your passenger-side airbag isn't working properly — it fails to recognize when an adult is sitting in the passenger seat and randomly turns on and off while you're driving. When this happens, a "Service Airbag System" warning appears on your dashboard along with a red airbag light. This is a serious safety concern because in a crash, the airbag may not deploy when needed to protect your passenger. The problem started a few months ago and is happening more frequently.

Your passenger airbag sensor isn't working properly and sometimes fails to detect whether someone is sitting in the seat. The service airbag warning light is now on and stays on, which means your airbags won't deploy if you're in a crash. This is a serious safety issue that requires the airbag sensor or occupant detection system to be replaced or repaired.

Your airbag warning light stays on almost constantly, and when you have a passenger, their airbag doesn't deploy. This is a serious safety issue since airbags are a critical crash protection system. The problem likely involves a sensor malfunction or wiring issue in the airbag system that needs diagnostic testing and repair.

Your car has multiple issues: the keys get stuck in the ignition, the airbag warning light turns on and off intermittently, and you smell gasoline even after the engine is off, suggesting a fuel leak. While these problems were part of past recalls for other vehicles, your car wasn't included in those recalls. The fuel leak could be caused by the fuel pump or another component in the fuel system.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE HIS WIFE WAS DRIVING 35 MPH, THE FRONT PASSENGER'S SIDE BAGS WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. UPON INVESTIGATION, THE CONTACT ASSOCIATED THE FAILURE WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 07V344000 (AIR BAGS), HOWEVER THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER RYDELL CHEVROLET LOCATED AT 18600 DEVONSHIRE ST #1309, NORTHRIDGE, CA 91324, (866) 802-5628, WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED AND THE CONTACT INFORMED THAT THE AIR BAGS CALIBRATION SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD BEEN INFORMED OF FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 50,000. *LN*DT CONSUMER STATED FUEL PUMP WAS ALSO RECALLED AND HAD IT REPAIRED WITHOUT KNOWING IT WAS RECALLED. *JB

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.

MY CHEVY EQUINOX LT HAS THE PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT ON. IT SAYS IT NEEDS TO BE SERVICED BUT MY CAR DOESN'T FALL UNDER THE RECALL. 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.

THE PASSENGER SEAT AIRBAG DOES NOT TURN ON WHEN A PASSENGER IS SITTING IN THE SEAT. SOMETIMES IT WILL TURN ON AND OFF WHEN SOMEONE IS SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT.

WE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS AS SO MANY EQUINOX OWNERS ARE WITH PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG SEAT SENSOR. THIS PROBLEM IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. WHY WAIT FOR MORE PEOPLE TO BE INJURED OR WORSE AND DEMAND GM ADDRESS THIS ISSUE ONCE AND FOR ALL.

2007 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO SERVICE AIR BAG INDICATOR LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON DASHBOARD PANEL. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL.*JS

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.

PASSENGER AIR BAG SENSOR NOT WORKING CORRECTLY. SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON AND WHEN SOMEONE IS SITTING IN PASSENGER SEAT THE AIRBAG DISPLAY ON DASH WILL GO ON AND OFF. THE SENSOR DOESN'T DETECT ALL THE TIME THAT A PASSENGER IS SITTING IN THE SEAT.

PASSENGER SEAT AIRBAG SENSOR DOES NOT DETECT WHEN AN OCCUPANT IS IN THE SEAT, SO THE AIRBAG IS ALWAYS OFF. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR SEVERAL MONTHS.

PURCHASED A USED 2007 CHEVROLET EQUINOX 6 HOURS AFTER PURCHASE, SERVICE AIRBAGS LIGHT, SERVICE T TIRE MONITOR SYSTEM AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON IN THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND GAGS GUAGE STOPPED WORKING..

THE PASSENGERS SIDE AIRBAG WILL NOT STAY ON WHEN NO MATTER WHO ON IT, DOESN'T NOT POP ANY CODES OR ANYTHING. HAVE TAKEN IT TWO DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS STILL NOTHINGS SAYS IT'S WORKING FINE. WHICH IT ISN'T, NOT SAFE AT ALL

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.

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.

EVEN THOUGH MY VIN DOES NOT COME UP AS HAVING AN ISSUE WITH THE PASSENGER AIR BAG DETECTOR IN MY SEAT, IT DOES NOT DETECT WHEN SOMEONE IS SITTING IN THE SEAT AND WILL NOT COME ON.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY AND THEN REMAINED LIT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MILDENBERGER MOTORS (1717 N 1ST ST, HAMILTON, MT 58940, 406-626-3050), BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 135,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2007 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO A CONCRETE EMBANKMENT TO AVOID COLLIDING WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE AIR BAG FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED INJURIES TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER AND LEFT ARM THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND TOWED TO A TOW LOT. THE CONTACT CALLED ALLEN TILLERY AUTO (LOCATED AT 4573 CENTRAL AVE, HOT SPRING, AR 71913, (501) 881-4160) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE AIR BAG SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED SINCE IT WAS JUST INSTALLED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 135,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, BOTH THE FRONT AND REAR DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE CURTAIN AIR BAGS DEPLOYED WITHOUT WARNING OR AN IMPACT. THE FRONT SEAT PASSENGER SUSTAINED AN ABRASION TO THE NECK THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL TREATMENT. THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE LOCAL DEALER (JD BYRIDER, 20941 EUCLID AVE, EUCLID OH) AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE, BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 95,000.

MY PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG DOES NOT TELL WHEN SOMEBODY SITTING THERE SO IF I HAVE AN ACCIDENT THE AIRBAG WILL NOT GO OFF I DON'T THINK THE SENSOR IS WORKING IT HAS BEEN REPLACED ONCE ALREADY. MY KEY GETS STUCK IN THE IGNITION I HAVE TO WAIT FOR IT TO CLICK TO GET IT OUT OF THE IGNITION

AIRBAG DOES NOT ALWAYS TURN ON FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE WHEN PASSENGER IS SITTING THERE

AT 100,000 MILES, THE PASSENGER AIRBAG SENSOR FAILED AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO INDICATE THAT THE AIRBAG WAS NOT ACTIVE, EVEN WHEN A PASSENGER WAS IN THE FRONT, PASSENGER SEAT. I TOOK IT TO THE AUTHORIZED DEALER AND REFERENCED # 07V344000 RECALL BUT WAS TOLD THAT MY VIN DID NOT FALL WITHIN THE RECALL, DESPITE THE SIMILARITY OF THE ISSUES INVOLVED.

PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT SHOWS NOT ON ALL THE TIME-WITH OR WITHOUT PASSENGER IN SEAT. MESSAGE TO SERVICE AIRBAGS ON ALL THE TIME. NOW SEATBELT LIGHT IS FLASHING EVEN WHEN IN USE. SERVICE STABILTRACK LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF. READING ALL THE OTHER COMMENTS I SEE THIS IS A COMMON COMPLAINT. RECENTLY HAD MY CAR IN TO REPLACE FUEL PUMP THAT WAS A RECALL FOR OTHERS BUT A "SPECIAL REPAIR" FOR MY CAR. TOLD DEALER ABOUT PROBLEMS WITH AIRBAG AND STABILITRAK AND WAS TOLD IT WOULD COST ABOUT $150.00 EACH TO DO THE DIAGNOSTIC TESTS. WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE FOR THESE PROBLEMS TO BECOME RECALLS FOR ALL THE AFFECTED CARS?

THE FRONT SEAT PASSENGER AIR BAG WILL NOT COME ON WHEN SOMEONE SITS IN THE SEAT. I GET A SERVICE AIR BAG SYSTEM ON THE DRIVER INFO CENTER. TOOK TO DEALER WAS TOLD COMPUTER SHOWS CODES B0081 AND B0074. WAS TOLD PASSENGER PRESENCE SYSTEM, NAMELY THE SEAT SENSOR WAS BAD AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. REPAIR ESTIMATED AT $1100.00. THIS IS A COMMON COMPLAINT IN GM VEHICLES. THE VEHICLE IS DESIGNED TO HAVE THE AIRBAG DEPLOY DURING A COLLISION CONSIDERING THE USE OF SAFETY BELTS AND DEFORMATION OF THE VEHICLE'S STRUCTURE. SERVICE AIR BAG SYSTEM WARNING LIGHT COMES ON AND STAYS ON WHEN EVER THE IGNITION IS TURNED TO THE ON POSITION. IT DOES NOT MATTER IF ANYONE OR ANYTHING IS IN/ON THE SEAT, OR IF VEHICLE IS STANDING STILL OR IN MOTION.

WHEN ADULT PASSENGER SITTING IN RIGHT FRONT PASSENGER SEAT, THE AIR BAG LIGHT DOESNT TURN ON.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL FUEL ODOR COMING FROM THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND REMAINED LIT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO BE DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 07V344000 (AIR BAGS) AND 12V459000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 84,000.

AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON ALL OF THE TIME. I TOOK IT TO RK CHEVY WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED FROM TO HAVE THE FUEL PUMP REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY AND THEY DID NOTHING ABOUT AIR BAG LIGHT AND SAID DO NOT WORRY ABOUT IT.

1. THE AIRBAG SENSORY ON THE PASSENGER SIDE GOES ON AND OFF DEPENDING HOW THE PERSON IS SEATED OR HOW MUCH THE PERSON WEIGHS. 2. THE DEFROSTING/HEATING MECHANISM DOESN'T PRODUCE WARM ENOUGH AIR TO CLEAR THE WINDOWS FOR CLEAR VISIBILITY..

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

INACTIVE AIR BAGS. LIGHTS CONTINUALLY STAY ON THAT AIR BAGS ARE NOT WORKING. IS THIS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT?

I HAVE HAD A 2005 AND A 2007 CHEVROLET EQUINOX BOTH WERE IN ACCIDENTS AND THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY . THE 2005 WAS A REAR END CRASH THE CAR THAT HIT ME WAS TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH. THE SECOND ACCIDENT WAS A FRONTAL CRASH I SWERVED TO MISS HITTING A DOG AND CHILDREN GOING ON THE ROAD. THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP AND HIT A TREE. I HAVE HAD 3 EQUINOX ALL HAVE IGNITION SWITCH PROBLEMS. THE ONE I HAVE NOW HAS MAJOR TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS.IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP NOW FOR 8 WEEKS.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND THE MY CAR HAS NO RECALL, IT IS A 2007 CHEVY EQUINOX, AND IT LOOKS TO ME THAT THERE ARE 4 RECALLS FOR 2007 CHEVY EQUINOX. MY CAR HAS A SERVICE AIRBAG MESSAGE THAT COMES UP, AND IT HAS FAILED SAFETY DUE TO THIS MESSAGE. I AM READING THE RECALL, AND IT STATES THAT IT NEEDS TO REPROGRAM THE SEAT'S ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT. I BROUGHT TO A SHOP, AND THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT THE MECHANIC SAID. THAT I WOULD NEED TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER TO HAVE THE AIRBAG COMPUTER REPROGRAMMED. I NEED THIS DONE WITH NO EXPENSE TO ME.

THE VEHICLE HAS STABLE TRACK LINK ERROR AND WILL NOT GO AWAY, ALSO THE FUEL GUAGE DOESN'T WORK PROPERLY. THE AIRBAG IS NOT WORKING TO PROTECT MY PASSENGERS IN THE FRONT SEAT.

I GOT A MESSAGE ON MY DASH BOARD SAYING I NEED TO SERVICE THE AIRBAGS, I GET THIS MESSAGE EVERY TIME I DRIVE MY CAR.

TENGO PRENDIDA LA LUZ SERVICE AIR BAG NO SE SI SEA DEFECTO DE FABRICA O COMO PUEDO CONSEGUIR LA PARTE

II SEE A RECALL FOR THIS UNIT ON THE WEB BUT THE DEALER SAID NOT COVEREGE THE RECALL...PLEASE HELP ME MY FAMILY IS ON RISK....THE AIR BAG LIGHT IS OF WHEN THE PASSENGER SEAT AND IN THE ISTRUMENT PANEL SAID SERVICE AIRBAGS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. WHILE A PASSENGER WAS SEATED ON THE PASSENGER SEAT, THE AIR BAG SENSOR INADVERTENTLY ILLUMINATED.

ON 9/22/08 WE TOOK OUR VEHICLE TO GREGG YOUNG CHEVY IN OMAHA NE WITH COMPLAINT OF THE PASSENGER AIR BAG DID NOT REGISTER PASSENGER. THE COULD NOT DUPLICATE AND NOTHING WAS DONE. AGAIN ON 4/10/10 WE TOOK THE VEHICLE IN AGAIN WITH SAME COMPLAINT. WE WERE TOLD AGAIN COULD NOT DUPLICATE AT THIS TIME, NO PROBLEM FOUND SCANNED, NO CODES. NO BULLETINS FOUND, SYSTEM WORKING AS DESIGNED. THEN AGAIN 9/28/11 WE TOOK IT IN AGAIN AND COMPLAINED THE SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON INTERMITTENTLY. THEY REPLACED THE PPS MODULE. WE HAD TO PAY LABOR AND FACTORY WARRANTY DEDUCTIBLE. I SEE BY YOU RECALL PAGE THERE WAS A RECALL #07V344000 ON THE PASSENGER SENSOR AND OR CALIBRATION. IF THERE WAS A RECALL WHY WERE WE CHARGED TO REPLACE A DEFAULT BY THE MAKER? NOW HERE WE ARE IN DEC 2016 AND NOW WE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AGAIN. THE AIR BAG DOES NOT ALWAYS REGISTER A PASSENGER AND IF IT DOES, IT GOES BACK AND FOR STATING AIR BAG ON AND AIR BAG OFF AND THE DASH WARNING LIGHT TO SERVICE AIR BAG GOES ON AND OFF AND THEN WE GET A READ OUT ON THE DASH STATING TO SERVICE AIR BAG. SAME PROBLEM YET AGAIN. HOW MAY TIMES CAN THE SENSOR OR CALIBRATION GO WRONG. WE CALLED GREGG YOUNG AND THEY WANT $130 JUST TO LOOK AT THE PROBLEM. WHAT ARE OUR OPTIONS? I DON'T FEEL THIS IS A WEAR AND TEAR PROBLEM AND WE PAID FOR IT ONCE ALREADY AND FEEL WE SHOULD NOT HAVE BASED ON THE RECALL LISTED. ANY INFORMATION YOU COULD PROVIDE WOULD BE HELPFUL. THANK YOU FOR CONSIDERING OUR SAFETY A PRIORITY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG INDICATOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE "SERVICE AIR BAG" MESSAGE APPEARED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VIN WAS EXCLUDED FROM NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 07V344000 (AIR BAGS). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED.

THE PASSENGER SEAT AIR BAG SENSOR FAILED AND TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM THE ENTIRE SEAT CUSHION AND ELECTRONIC MODULE HAS TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS AN OVER $800 REPAIR AND MY DAUGHTER CANT AFFORD TO HAVE IT FIXED. ACCORDING TO THE DEALER TECH THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON SEVERAL THOUSAND EQUINOX, TORRENT AND SATURN ION VEHICLES. IMHO THIS IS A SAFETY DEFECT AND SHOULD BE REPAIRED AT NO CHARGE.

PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG WORKED INTERMITTENTLY WHILE PASSENGER WAS SEATED IN SEAT. SOMETIMES ON WHEN NO ONE SEATED AND OFF WHEN SOMEONE SEATED. NOW CHECK/SERVICE AIRBAGS LIGHTS ARE ON AND PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG STAYS OFF WHEN SOMEONE SEATED. I AM NOT SURE IF ANY OF THE AIRBAGS AT THIS POINT WILL WORK BECAUSE ALL AIRBAG LIGHTS ARE ON.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR RANDOMLY ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 07V520000 (AIR BAGS) AND 07V344000 (AIR BAGS). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 151,000.

ANYTIME A PASSENGER IS IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT THE AIRBAG DOES NOT TURN ON. THE AIRBAG OFF LIGHT REMAINS ILLUMINATED.

VEHICLE PURCHASED 2014 WITH 113,000 MILES. SINCE, KEY IS DIFFICULT TO REMOVE FROM IGNITION (DOESN'T RECOGNIZE THE VEHICLE IS IN PARK). RPM GAGE RARELY WORKS WHEN IN MOTION. PASSENGER AIR BAG TURNS OFF AND ON WHEN A PERSON SITS IN IT OF ANY WEIGHT/AGE.

AIRBAG LIGHT, TPMS, STABILITY LIGHT, HEADLIGHT AND TAILLIGHTS GO OUT ALOT. CALLED CHEVY PLACE AOUT RECALLS AND WAS TOLD MINE IS NOT RECALLED BUT PROBLEMS WITH MY CAR ARE SAME AS RECALL. THEY FIXED GAS LINE RECALL, TOOK IT TO WHERE I BOUGHT IT 2 OR 3 TIMES BUT NEVER GOT FIXED. MY SPEEDOMETER ALSO BEEN OUT SINCE GETTING CAR BRAKE LIGHTS ALWAYS COMING ON AS WELL, OTHER PROBLEMS AS WELL. DOESNT SEEM CHEVY MAKES A GOOD VEHICLE.

AIRBAG INDICATOR LIGHT HAS COME ON AND WILL NOT TURN OFF. CAR HAS BEEN CHECKED & UNABLE TO FIND PROBLEM. NOT SURE AIRBAGS WILL WORK IF IN ACCIDENT

A FEW MONTHS AGO, I TOOK MY CAR INTO THE DEALER TO DIAGNOSE A CHECK AIRBAG LIGHT. $122 LATER, MY VEHICLE WAS FOUND TO HAVE A "FAULTY PASSENGER PRESENCE MODULE." I WAS QUOTED OVER $1000 IN REPAIRS AND GIVEN NO OTHER OPTIONS. I DECLINED THE REPAIRS IN LIEU OF CONFIRMING WITH AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AS I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH THAT SERVICE DEPARTMENT BEFORE REGARDING A FAULTY FUEL SYSTEM (WHICH WAS RECALLED AND I WAS NOT INFORMED). MY INDEPENDENT MECHANIC CONFIRMED THE PASSENGER SENSING UNIT WAS NOT WORKING PROPERLY AND AFTER FURTHER INVESTIGATION, I FOUND THAT THIS PART (MUCH LIKE THE DEBACLE WITH MY FUEL PUMP) WAS ALSO A RECALLED. I AM REFERRING TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN#07V344000. MY VIN# IS INCLUDED WITHIN THE DESIGNATED VIN BREAKING POINTS; HOWEVER, IT DOES NOT QUALIFY INDIVIDUALLY. I FIND THIS INFURIATING. IF THE PART IS KNOWN TO BE FAULTY, AND IT'S THE SAME PART PLACED INTO PONTIAC/CHEVY VEHICLES THEN WHY ARE ONLY SOME OF THESE FAULTY PARTS INCLUDED IN THE RECALL???? THIS WAS THE SAME SITUATION WITH MY FAULTY FUEL PUMP, IN WHICH I PAID CASH FOR THE PART AND REPAIRS AND THEN 6 MONTHS LATER RECEIVED A LETTER FROM GM STATING MY VIN# WAS NOW INCLUDED. I PHONED THE DEALER AND GM DIRECTLY AND THEY OFFERED ME NO OPTIONS OTHER THAN PAY $611 FOR THE PART AND ESTIMATED ANOTHER $500 IN LABOR. I HAVE FOUND ON NUMEROUS GM FORUMS THAT THIS ISSUE WITH THE PPM IS VERY COMMON WITH 2007-2009 PONTIAC AND CHEVY VEHICLES WITH THOSE OWNERS GETTING THE SAME EXCUSE FROM GM AND NO RECALL COVERAGE. I AM HOPING THAT IN THE FUTURE SOMEONE FROM THE NHTSA WILL LOOK INTO THIS CAMPAIGN AND EXPAND THE VEHICLES INVOLVED AS IT SEEMS TO BE A DEALER/PART ISSUE AND AFFECTS THE OVERALL SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE.

WARNING NOTICE TO SERVICE AIRBAG IS ON AND WILL NOT GO OFF. THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ILLUMINATED FOR THE PASSENGER AND DRIVER. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR IN TO HAVE THIS ISSUED CHECKED; HOWEVER, THE TECHNICIANS STATED THERE WAS NO ISSUES AND COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM TO FIX. I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT AIR BAGS WILL MALFUNCTION WHILE TRANSPORTING MYSELF AND/OR FAMILY AS THIS IS A ONGOING ISSUE 2007 EQUINOX. GM IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AND REFUSES TO RECALL.

DURING A LONG TRIP, THE PASSENGER AIRBAG SENSOR LIGHT CHANGED FROM "ON" TO "OFF" INTERMITTENTLY EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS A PASSENGER PRESENT ALL OF TIME. WHEN THE SENSOR LIGHT TURNED TO OFF, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT ALSO CAME ON EACH TIME. THIS HAPPENED ABOUT 8 TIMES DURING THE TRIP. IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE THEN AS WELL.

DRIVING DOWN THE STREET AND I HEAR WARNING SIGNAL LOOK DOWN AT DASH IT SAYS STABILIZERTRACK

THE PASSENGER SEAT AIRBAG LIGHT GOES BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN ON AND NOT ON WHEN SOMEONE IS SITTING IN THE SEAT. SOMETIMES IT WORKS FINE FOR AN EXTENDED AMOUNT OF TIME. LEANING TO GET SOMETHING IN THE BACK SEAT CAN TRIGGER IT TO GO OFF AND STAY OFF.

MY PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG IS NOT WORKING HAD REPLACED ONCE UNDER WARRENTY NVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT LIGHT ON AGAIN CHECKED MANY OWNERS EXPERIENCE SAME ISSUE COST BETWEEN 300 AND 600 DOLLARS FOR REPAIR CANNOT LET ANYONE RIDE IN FRONT SEAT CANNOT AFFORD REPAIR.

MY 19 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AT APPROXIMATELY 11 PM ON SUNDAY, OCTOBER 5, 2014 ON A STRAIGHT STREET GOING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH IN OUR 2007 CHEVROLET EQUINOX WHEN BOTH THE DRIVER & PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED FOR NO APPARENT REASON. IT SCARED HER HALF TO DEATH, AND LUCKILY SHE DID NOT GET IN TO AN ACCIDENT. I CALLED OUR LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP TO REPORT THE ISSUE & REQUEST SERVICE. I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS & THAT I SHOULD FILE WITH MY INSURANCE COMPANY. I CONTACTED MY INSURANCE COMPANY & WAS TOLD NO COLLISION, NO CLAIM. I THEN WENT BACK TO THE SERVICE MANAGER & HE PROCEEDED TO TELL ME THAT THE CAR PROBABLY THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO TIP OVER--REALLY? LONG STORY SHORT, I HAVE CALLED GM PRODUCT DEPARTMENT & FILED A CLAIM WITH THEM, AND THE DEALERSHIP HAS HAD MY CAR FOR OVER A WEEK, AND THEY HAVE NOT HEARD FROM GM. I WAS TOLD BY THE PRODUCT SPECIALIST THAT AN INSPECTOR WAS GOING TO CHECK THE CAR & LET ME KNOW WHAT THE COMPUTER SAYS OF WHY THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF SUCH A THING, AND THEY ARE SAYING IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME ESPECIALLY IN SUV'S. I HAVE OWNED AN SUV SINCE 2005 & HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED AN ISSUE WITH THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYING WITHOUT A COLLISION. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ANY ONE ELSE & HOW I CAN HANDLE THIS MALFUNCTION OF THE AIR BAGS. I FEEL THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH FAULTY AIR BAGS, NOT MY FINANCIAL ISSUE. AND IS THIS CAR STILL SAFE FOR US TO DRIVE? PLEASE HELP. *TR

I HAVE BEEN WATCHING THE RECALL LISTING FOR CAMPAIGN NUMBER 07V344000 BECAUSE THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT IS WRONG WITH MY VEHICLE BUT MY VIN ALWAYS COMES UP WITH NO OPEN RECALLS. THE SEAT SENSOR FOR THE PASSENGER AIRBAG HAS BEEN DETERMINED TO BE BAD BUT IT DOESN'T APPLY TO MY VEHICLE. IF THE PART IS BAD AND IS BEING RECALLED FOR OTHER CARS WHY IS MY CAR EXCLUDED? THE CHEVROLET DEALER QUOTED ME A COST IN EXCESS OF $900 FOR A PART I KNOW HAS AN ACTIVE RECALL ON IT. *TR

I PURCHASED A USED EQUINOX AND IT NOW HAS THE SERVICE AIR BAG INDICATION ON THE DASH & EVEN WHEN OCCUPIED BY A LARGE ADULT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG WILL NOT TURN ON. IT STATES OFF CONTINUOUSLY. I DID CALL CHEVROLET AS SOME HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THE IDENTICAL PROBLEM, HOWEVER, WAS TOLD THAT MY VIN NUMBER DID NOT MATCH THE RECALL ONLY 437 CARS MATCHED THAT RECALL AND THAT I WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIRS MYSELF. *TR

I PURCHASED THIS UNIT IN 2010. THIS IS RELATED TO THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. THE SIGNAL OF THE AIRBAG APPEARS OFF EVEN IF THERE IS A PASSENGER SEATED. THIS STARTED TO HAPPEN IN 2013. I TOOK IT FOR A DIAGNOSTIC AT A DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WAS A FAULTY SENSOR. VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS SITUATION BUT WHEN I GAVE MY VIN # IT APPEARS MY VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDED (NHTSA CAMPAIGN #07V344000). *TR

WHEN A PASSENGER IS IN THE SEAT THE AIR BAG IS OFF A LOT OF THE TIME JUST LIKE GM RECALL #07174 NHTSA ID # 07V344000. BACK WHEN IT STARTED DEALER SAID IT WOULD BE HARD TO FIND THE PROBLEM NOW THEY SAY THERE IS NO CURRENT RECALL ON THIS CAR. *TR

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. NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 07V344000 MY FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG SAYS THAT IT IS TURNED OFF EVEN WHEN I AM SITTING IN PASSANGER SEAT, THIS HAS GONE ON FOR SEVERAL MONTHS NOW. IT SAYS "SERVICE AIR BAG SOON" I DID SOME RESEARCH ON THE VEHICLE AND PROBLEM AND IT SAYS THAT THIS IS A RECALL ON THE CHEVY EQUINOX. I CALL CHEVROLET AND THEY SAID THAT MY VIN DOES NOT MATCH ANY CURRENT RECALLS. THANK YOU *TR

ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO I TOOK MY CAR INTO THE LOCAL CHEVY DEALERSHIP AND HAD THE SENSOR CHANGED FOR THE PASSENGER AIR BAG. A FEW WEEKS AFTER THEY CHANGED THE SENSOR THE PROBLEM RETURNED. IT WOULD NOT TURN THE AIR BAG ON EVEN WHEN A FULL GROWN ADULT WAS SITTING IN THE SEAT. IT DIDN'T HAPPEN ALL OF THE TIME SO WHEN I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND THE SAID THEY COULDN'T REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. AFTER TAKING IT BACK ABOUT 4 TIMES AND THEM NEVER BEING ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM I QUIT TAKING IT IN. LUCKILY THE FIRST TIME IT WAS FIXED MY VEHICLE WAS STILL UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. (THANK GOD I BOUGHT THAT! I'VE SURE USED IT!) NOW THIS YEAR, THE PASSENGER AIR BAG WON'T TURN ON AT ALL EVEN WITH MY 200LB BOYFRIEND SITTING THERE. THE ONLY THING THAT HAPPENS IS THE SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON THE DASHBOARD. I'VE TAKEN IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY'VE DUPLICATED THE PROBLEM AND WANT ME TO PAY $600 TO GET IT FIXED. I DON'T FEEL THAT THE SAME THING SHOULD HAVE TO BE FIXED TWICE IN JUST 2-3YEARS. ESPECIALLY SINCE IT'S NOT A MAINTENANCE PROBLEM. THERE IS OBVIOUSLY SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE SENSOR. *TR

THE PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD WENT FROM AN "ON" TO "OFF" STATUS WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN DRIVE WITH AN ADULT PASSENGER ABOARD AND THE SEATBELT FASTENED. WE HAD THE VEHICLE AT THE DEALER, BOB FISHER CHEVROLET, READING, PA, FOR AN INSPECTION AND OIL CHANGE - AND ALSO REPORTED THIS INSTANCE. MY WIFE WAS CALLED AND TOLD THERE WAS NO RECALL EFFECTING OUR VIN. ALSO THAT IT WOULD NOT REACT AS DESCRIBED "AT THAT TIME". REFERENCE GM NOTICE #07174 DATED AUG 22, 2007. THE DEALER STATED THAT AS OUR VIN WAS NOT IN THE "RANGE RECALLED" THAT THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO PROPERLY FIX THE PROBLEM AS GM WOULD NOT REIMBURSE THEM. SO, WHAT DOES CONSTITUTE GM'S AND THE DEALERS RESPONSIBILITIES WHEN THERE IS SOME SORT OF OBVIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM? *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT WAS BUILT WITH A SENSOR SYSTEM FOR THE AIR BAGS HOWEVER, THERE WAS AN ERROR IN THE CALIBRATION OF THE SENSOR, WHICH CAUSED THE SENSOR TO FAIL. AS A RESULT, THE AIR BAGS WOULD NOT SHUT OFF WHEN A SMALL CHILD OR SMALL STATURED PERSON WAS OCCUPYING THE PASSENGER'S SEAT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, WHO REFUSED TO DIAGNOSE THE VEHICLE BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS NOT PURCHASED AT THAT PARTICULAR DEALER. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED OF A RECALL FOR THE FAILURE UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 07V344000 (AIR BAGS). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED BUT OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 82,000.

VEHICLE COMPUTER SAYS, "SERVICE AIR BAG SOON". AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON EVEN WHEN IT IS OCCUPIED BY AN ADULT. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STARTED IT SAYS THE PASSENGER AIR BAG IS OFF EVEN WITH AN ADULT PASSENGER. THE AIRBAG TURNS OFF RANDOMLY FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE. *TR

I'VE HAD MY EQUINOX FOR ABOUT 5 YEARS NOW. THE SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON AND CONSTANTLY BEEN ON FOR THE PAST SEVERAL WEEKS. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND SAID IT WOULD COST ABOUT $850.00 TO REPLACE THE PASSENGER PRESENCE SENSOR. HAD THEM RUN A REPORT TO CHANGE FOR OPEN CAMPAIGNS OR RECALLS AND THERE WASN'T ONE FOR MY CAR. BUT, WITH ALL THE COMPLAINTS I'VE READ ONLINE, I STRONGLY BELIEVE A RECALL NEEDS TO DONE. THE LIGHT DID COME ON INTERMITTENTLY SINCE I BOUGHT IN MAY 2007 BUT I THOUGHT IT WAS A LOOSE FUSE. RIDICULOUS! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG SENSOR FAILED TO REGISTER WHEN THE PASSENGER SEAT WAS OCCUPIED.

MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON IN MY VEHICLE. I DIDN'T THINK ANYTHING OF IT BECAUSE ALL OF MY ONSTAR DIAGNOSTICS STATED EVERYTHING WAS OK. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN TO THE DEALERSHIP TO GET A DOME LIGHT AND REAR WIPER MOTOR REPLACED AND TO GET A STATE INSPECTION. MY VEHICLE FAILED INSPECTION DUE TO THE FAILED PASSENGER PRESENCE MODULE. ALTHOUGH THE PART IS RECALLED ON OTHER 2007 CHEVY EQUINOXES, IT HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED ON MY VEHICLE. I VALUE THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY, BUT TO CHARGE $975 FOR A PART (LABOR NOT INCLUDED) THAT WAS RECALLED ON THE SAME MAKE/MODEL IS EXTREMELY EXCESSIVE. *TR

THE SERVICE AIRBAG MESSAGE APPEARS WHEN THERE IS A PERSON IN THE PASSENGER SEAT OF THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER SAID IT IS DUE TO THE PASSENGER PRESENCE MODULE. AN INTERNET SEARCH FOR "2007 EQUINOX PASSENGER PRESENCE MODULE" REVEALS THAT THERE IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE PASSENGER PRESENCE SENSOR (PPS) ON THIS VEHICLE. THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THE DEFECTIVE SENSING SYSTEM/PART. THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD REPAIR THIS SYSTEM/PART BEFORE AN INJURY DUE TO THE DEFECT OCCURS. *TR

I HAVE NOT HAD AN ACCIDENT, SO THE ABOVE DATE, MILEAGE AND SPEED ARE ESTIMATES. WHILE TRAVELING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, THE SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON. THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT ALSO WENT OFF. IT LATER CAME BACK ON. MY WIFE WAS SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT AT THE TIME. ANY TIME WE GO SOMEWHERE, THIS HAPPENS NUMEROUS TIMES. I FEEL THIS IS A DEFECT IN THE SENSOR UNDER THE SEAT CUSHION IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. I HAVE NOTICED THAT THE NHTSA HAS A RECALL ON 437 UNITS FOR THIS PROBLEM AND YOUR CAMPAIGN # IS 07V34400. ACCORDING TO THE MAN NAMED ROB I SPOKE WITH AT GM, MY VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THAT RECALL. I FEEL THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM AND DON'T FEEL LIKE MY WIFE OR EITHER ONE OF MY CHILDREN WOULD BE PROTECTED IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT WHERE THE AIRBAG NEEDS TO DEPLOY. IT MAY NOT DUE TO THIS DEFECTIVE SENSOR. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF YOU CAN OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE IN GETTING THIS TAKEN CARE OF WITHOUT ME HAVING TO PAY FOR IT. I AM ON DISABILITY INCOME AND TRYING TO SUPPORT A FAMILY OF FOUR LEAVES NO MONEY FOR SUCH THINGS. I FEEL LIKE GM SHOULD HAVE TO COVER THIS, SINCE IT'S A DEFECT ON THEIR PART, AND NOT MINE. IS THERE ANY WAY YOU COULD ADD MY VEHICLE TO THE RECALL NOW THAT I'VE MADE YOU AWARE OF IT AND GIVEN YOU THE VIN #? WE'RE PLANNING A 1,500 MILE ROUND TRIP ON THE 23RD OF JUNE TO TRAVEL TO OUR CHURCH CONVENTION AND WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM RECTIFIED BEFORE MAKING THE TRIP, IF AT ALL POSSIBLE. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME AND ATTENTION. *TR

WHILE DRIVING THE AIRBAG SENSOR FOR THE PASSENGER SEAT SHUT OFF THEN TURNED BACK ON REPEATEDLY. THEN SENSOR IS NOT CORRECTLY IDENTIFYING WHEN THERE IS AS PASSENGER IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT, AND THE AIRBAG IS THEN AUTOMATICALLY SHUT OFF. WHEN IT WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP WE WERE TOLD THAT THERE ARE TWO SENSORS THAT ARE NOT WORKING CORRECTLY FOR THE PASSENGER PRESENCE SYSTEM. UNFORTUNATELY THE VIN NUMBER IS NOT IN THE 2007 RECALL LISTED AFFECTED VIN NUMBERS, EVEN THOUGH IT IS HAVING THE SAME SENSOR PROBLEM. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 CHEVY EQUINOX THAT I PURCHASED 2ND HAND. THE PASSENGER AIR-BAG WOULD NOT ENGAGE (IT HAD AN X THROUGH IT) WHEN MY WIFE SAT IN THE SEAT. I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC WHO SUGGESTED THAT I TRY PUTTING A CUSHION ON THE SEAT. I BOUGHT A 1" THICK CUSHION AND THE AIR-BAG LIGHT HAS WORKED (INDICATING THAT THE AIR-BAG IS ENGAGED) EVERY TIME SINCE. A SIMPLE FIX TO A POTENTIALLY LIFE-THREATENING PROBLEM! *TR

I HAD TOLD THE CHEVY DEALER THE AIR BAG SENSOR LIGHT STATES "WARNING PLEASE SERVICE" THEY TOLD ME IT WAS AN OLD CODE. A FEW MONTHS LATER I READENDED ANOTHER DRIVER AND MY AIRBAGS DID NOT OPEN UP. THEY DID CRACK BECAUSE I FELT THE BURN ON MY ARMS. YET, I'M BEING TOLD IT WAS AN OLD CODE AND THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THEM. NOW THE LIGHT STAYS ON ALL THE TIME AND NO ONE WILL LISTEN TO ME.

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

THERE WERE NO EVENTS THAT LED UP TO FAILURE...THE AIR BAG LIGHT WILL STAY OFF EVEN THOUGH THE PASSENGER SEAT IS OCCUPIED AND ON THE DASH IT WILL READ, " SERVICE AIR BAG." I CALLED GM HOTLINE AND WAS TOLD THAT EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS A TSB FOR THAT PROBLEM MY VEHICLE DID NOT FALL WITHIN THE SELECTED VIN NUMBERS AND WOULD NOT BE COVERED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. WHEN AN OCCUPANT WAS IN THE PASSENGER FRONT SEAT, THE AIR BAG TURNED OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR INSPECTION, AND THE AIR BAG SENSOR WAS REPLACED. THE REPAIR DID NOT REMEDY THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON SEVERAL SEPARATE OCCASIONS FOR THE IDENTICAL FAILURES, IN WHICH THERE WERE NO RESOLUTIONS. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT AIR BAG SYSTEM WAS DESIGNED IMPROPERLY. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 30,000. THE VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER WAS UNAVAILABLE.

THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG DOES NOT ENGAGE WHEN I HAVE A PASSENGER IN THE CAR. THERE IS AN INDICATOR TO SHOW THE AIR BAG EITHER ON OR OFF, IF SOMEONE IS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT OR NOT. I HAVE NOT HAD AN ACCIDENT BUT IF I DO THE PASSENGER COULD BE SERIOUSLY INJURED IF THE AIR BAG DOES 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. INCIDENT DATE BELOW IS LATEST INCIDENT. *TR

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

MY WIFE COULD NOT RESET THE PROBLEM AT THAT TIME W/O TURNING THE CAR OFF/ON AND HOPING IT WOULD SEE THAT HER SISTER WAS INDEED SITTING THERE.

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 WAS IN AN AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT 1/17/08, STOPPED TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN AND WAS STRUCK FROM BEHIND, PUSHED INTO THE OPPOSING LANE AND THEN STRUCK IN THE FRONT BY A SMALL BUS.
