In the morning of may 1, 2014, i went to the parking lot to get the equinox to buy some groceries. when i was opening the door, i smelled gasoline. so i looked under the equinox and saw a big wet spot under the fuel tank. i immediately brought the equinox to an auto repair shop. it was found out that the fuel pump was leaking. so i bought a new fuel pump and the repair was finished on may 3, 2014. i would like to mention that on june 18, 2013, i brought the equinox to the charles clark chevrolet for inspection after i received a recall letter from general motors for the fuel pump that would like. after the inspection of the fuel tank and fuel pump, the dealer declared no leaks and found all within specs. i was misled because the fuel pump leaked. being recalled, the dealer should have changed the fuel pump leaking or not and i would not have spent for the repair. i immediately filed reimbursement from the dealer and i was told that my claim was forwarded to general motors. until now (8/22/14) i have not received any refund. updated ...
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
I have a 2007 chevrolet equinox and started noticing a fuel smell coming from the rear of it as it gets worse after driving. i had a cobalt that had the recall on the fuel pump for the same issue so i looked into it and called a few local dealers and found out there is a recall on the equinoxes for it as we'll but it is only in certain areas and mine does not fall into the category. i have also researched and found out a lot of other people are having the same issue but the recall is not being extended and it should be so now to make sure it doesn't catch on fire i am having to fix the problem myself and it is not cheap to do. *tr
My 2007 chevy equinox is giving me problems when i am going up a hill. my car hesitates almost every time when going up a hill what i mean when i go up the hill it is like my car is going to shut off. i have had it to the garage several time in the last month for the replacement of the fuel pump and then the o2 senor went bad right after i had the fuel pump replaced is when the hesitation started. they just replaces the spark plug and that didn't help it and they can find anything else wrong with it.
I am smelling a strong gas smell while my vehicle is parked. i have read that other people have had the same problem. i have read that it is a problem with a cracked fuel module. is there a recall on this? i am on a very tight budget and cannot afford a huge repair bill. i am going to take it to a local repair shop for a diagnosis and estimate for repair. if there is a recall, could someone send me information on this? *tr

Upon smoke test of fuel system it was found that fuel is leaking from fuel line where the fuel line meets the fuel pump on top of the fuel tank. i was advised that this is a safety item and to see if this is an item under warranty through the dealership. i did receive a technical service bulletin for this issue. *tr
After parking my car, i stepped outside and noticed that my car smelled like gasoline. when i took my car to the mechanic, they told me that the fuel pump had a crack and was leaking fuel which was causing the smell and a potentially dangerous situation. the mechanic said that he had seen this before with other chevrolet equinox vehicles like mine. i asked the mechanic to fix the vehicle and i would investigate if this is a known issue with this particular make/model. it seems it is a known problem and the vehicle was part of a regional recall by general motors. *tr
Noticed a strong smell of gas coming from the vehicle when parked. had to move it out of garage as smell was extremely strong and spread throughout my two story home. i took car in to independent garage repair for service one mile from my home immediately on 09/27/2013 at 06:00 p.m. closest dealership is nine miles from my home. found that the plastic part of the fuel pump module was cracked and cost $545.23 for a new fuel pump module and $350.00 labor. total cost including supply fees and tax, $942.06. found out there is a recall for this very same issue. i will be calling gm for reimbursement and can already envision their refusal as they claim they must inspect vehicle and do the repair. i live in texas and am the original purchaser of this vehicle in texas. *tr
Several heat waves in ct causing crack in fuel pump module. not on recall list per gm however should be for any safety issue such as this. smelled strong gas odor after driving home from work. towed to dealer following morning -- afraid to drive, only to be told that the fuel pump module needed replacing. definitely a gas leak. not covered by recall like other states. huge cost to fix. *tr
