Problems with 2007 Chevrolet Equinox SUSPENSION

Takata recall stability traction control indicator lights. no warning for brake problem. the brakes locked up and wouldn't stop or slow the car before entering a curve on a major highway.

I purchased a 2007 chevy equinox from a private party back in january but due to a mix-up with the title and the previous owner i could not title the car and start driving it until march. i've noticed lately a strong smell of gas and a very loud clunking noise from the driver side front wheel. i took it to a local shop in my town and was told i had a gas leak at the top of the tank and that the sway bar linkage needed to be replaced . in doing my research i found that there was a recall for the fuel leak on the 2007 equinoxes and that many people have had problems with the sway bar linkage going bad and the service stable track light constantly staying on. i also have the problem stating all wheel drive off flashing on my screen. i found that many people put their vin numbers in the search window and found theirs not to be part of the recall but i'm wondering why if more than just the previous recalled vehicles are having the same issue wouldn't they want another recall issued for the ones that haven't been repaired. i just took it to a gm dealer today in my hometown and they want over $1,400 to fix just the fuel leakage problem i need to know what gm is going to do about it. i don't have 1400 extra dollars to fix this gas leak and i'm scared to drive the vehicle for fear of it starting on fire.

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 chevrolet equinox. after the vehicle was taken to the dealer for a routine wheel alignment, the vehicle displayed other failures. while driving at various speeds, the traction control warning indicator illuminated. the vehicle was diagnosed by an independent mechanic that the stabilizer track failed and needed to be repaired. the vehicle was inoperable. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 100,000.

Car sputters and stalls sometimes while driving and sometimes when excelerating.can be driving down the street or getting onto the freeway.

Took car in for vibrations. tried replacing tires to see if that was problem. it was not, it was u-joint worn into flange and center support bearing has excessive play. replaced rear driveshaft asm with center support bearing. *tr

I was driving on the highway when the vehicle lost power and started shaking really badly...i would push on the gas to try to gain power but the vehicle did not respond. i exited to the nearest autozone and had it testes. .something to do with the gsr valve and throttle and fuel system. so i changed the parts that i could but now it's having the same reaction. now the air conditioning is not working properly as well. i've had to buy tires but they keep wearing because something is wrong with the stability track.the air bags need service. and now just two days ago something is wrong with the speedometer. the motor also makes a weird sound. ..over all i don't feel safe in my vehicle anymore. now the vehicle still shakes and i have to buy tires again.it shakes very badly. ai just did an oil change and it already needs more oil. *tr

My wife's equinox was traveling at around 45 mph when axle broke and caused her to crash hitting another vehicle causing minimal damage to it, then it wen down a 10 ft embankment and hit a concrete wall head on. she had to be cut out of vehicle and car was totaled. the axle broke in half. we believe that this contributed to the accident.

Purchased vehicle in sept 07 and started noticing a knocking noise from the front end of the vehicle at about 2000 miles. the noise would occur during slow reverse, slow forward, and turning at slow speeds at intermittent times. we have taken the vehicle to three different dealers and they have all stated that they could not hear the noise. i am currently at 21,000 miles and we still hear the noise and we can not find anyone willing to perform the proper check on the vehicle to locate the cause. *tr

Engine light turns on and says the stabilitrak needs servicing as well as the traction control and that they are off, also says that engine power is reduced. this has happened about 5 times in the past 2 months and each time that i have an appointment, the light goes off and the dealer says they cannot diagnose without a check engine light on. this concerns me. autozone hooked up there little gadget while it was on once and indicated that the throttle position sensor may be the culprit, said it came up three times. power steering column locks up when i turn on vehicle, this has happened a few times in the past 3 years, each time i take to dealer, they cannot duplicate the problem and therefore cannot fix it. i have had vehicle since july of 2007. my current mileage is 42,998 the first error with column started probably in october of 2007 and occurs every so often but by the time i get it to dealer, it cannot be duplicated. what i have to do is turn the car on and off until it "registers" and then the column works otherwise it is very stiff and hard to nearly impossible to turn.
