2009 Chevrolet Equinox owner complaints

The airbag sensor light comes on and off and after review of this info online there are so many complaints against this same issue not sure why no one will look into the recall needed for these airbags the dealer is saying it will 1200 to replace sensor light put in by manufacturer this is insane amount of money needed to keep people safe on the ride this is must have item in a car

Passenger airbag light will turn itself off/on while driving or if vehicle is at a standstill. Even if no one is sitting in the seat. Service airbag light comes on every time passenger airbag sensor turns off. *tr

Airbag warning light on - took to dealership yesterday and they found the following "b0074 & b0081 set. Diagnosed and found passenger presence module internally failed". They told me it's a 800+ repair. *tr

My airbag light and 'service air bag' light and ABS light and stabalize track light were all on for a few week and I took it to local shop who said the sensor for the brakes under driver seat was bad so that cost $580.00 for new module. That took care of ABS/stabilize lights. Had to to go dealer for airbag lights and they charged $1070.00 because the airbag module under passenger seat was out and had to replace (part 560 plus labor). I don't feel like I should have had to pay for the airbags!! The airbag lights were on for about 6 months and never went off so I finally got tired of it...no matter if someone was sitting in seat or not, or whether it was idle, in motion, etc.

Takata recall. Service air bag for passenger seat is on and air bag is off. Began while stationary with passenger in the seat. This vehicle has 58,000 miles on it. Unacceptable that it is not under recall.

I am filing my complaint due to some re-accruing issues that I continuously have with my truck I just bought in june of 2017. I have problems with the car overheated needle fluctuations and shutting down on me. The air bags does not work for the passenger seat and there are a couple of sensors that are on and constantly stays on when cranking the car and driving. I also have problems when I turn the wheel to the right hearing a rubbing graining noise also hear a trickling noise when pressing the gas to go. I have had my car worked on by a mechanic twice. Had my radiator flushed thermostat replaced and anti-freeze take flushed and still the same issues. My coolan fan causes my battery to go dead and have to get a jump start more than once. This issue happens while driving sitting or even on

In 2015, I took my car to monument Chevrolet and told the dealership that my car is not unlocking the doors when I am using the remote. I had to use my key to unlock my driver side door manually and the reach over to unlock the other doors. Before the dealership even ran a diagnosis test, they told me that it was my lock mechanism and it was going to cost me $300.00 per door to find the problem. I decline and told them I will do it the old fashion way by using the key. It looks and seems like the dealership knew there was a existing problem with this model vehicle as quickly as they quoted me a price without even looking at the problem and that there is a major electrical issue with this vehicle. There should be a recall for the malfunction. Now its over a year and I still have to unlock

Having problems with my driver side door electric window and door locks not functioning properly or not at all. I have someknowledge of electrical systems so I started troubleshooting the problem. After 5 minutes I found the source of the problem to be completely broken wires that are part of the wiring harness right before it goes through the driver side door and protected by a rubber boot/sleeve . Almost all wires that are part of the wiring harness at this location were either broken as I mentioned or the insulation was so bridle and cracked that the copper wire strands were exposed. This is in a tight spot and would be hard to splice. I took a picture to support what I am writing and I've attached it. I believe this is an electrical fire hazard if the exposed wires ever come in cont

Key won't release right away after turning off engine. Sometimes it takes a few minutes to release . It's happened dozens of times

The steering pump has gone out, and the flashing engine light just came on . The car is misfiring. There needs to be a recall on this model and year. More people are having these same issues!

My 2009 Chevy equinox is slowing down when I reach 4 rpms and will not speed back up until I go back down to 3 rpms no matter how fast or slow I an going once it reaches 4 rpms it slows down. When I shut the car off something is still running under the hold because I can hear it. It was 10 minutes before it finally shut off completely.

My car stopped in the middle of the highway due to the computer system and my airbag light has been on since I bought the car.

On thanksgiving morning in preparation for a three hour drive I began to put air in the right rear tire of my Chevy equinox because the pressure sensor was showing it a few pounds lower than the other tires. When I removed the fill hose, the aluminum (cast I think) valve stem end broke off with the valve mechanism itself and the tire rapidly deflated. No unusual force was applied to the valve with the portable air pump I have used numerous times on this and other car tires. There was no accident because the valve failed while the car was in my driveway (something else to be thankful for that day!). I just read where a similar vehicle (Ford escape I believe) experienced a valve stem failure that apparently contributed to a roll over and fatality. Although a rubber valve stem cracked

1.I was driving the car home from the airport. As I approached an intersection with a stop traffic signal, I put my foot on the brake pedal, however, the car continued to travel without slowing down. I kept pressing the brake pedal as far as I could but the car continued at the same speed. As I entered the intersection I swerved sharply to the right to avoid hitting any vehicles, however, I sideswiped a vehicle on my left and finally came to a stop when I hit a road barrier on the right. 2. When a wrecker came to haul my car away, the brakes worked for him as he maneuvered it to the bed of his vehicle. The wrecker took my car to my home. When he put my car on the ground. I was able to drive it into my garage and the brakes were working at that time. 3. My car is presently in my garage an

Vehicle displayed will in motion merging on to the highway. That when you take off a delay happens at over 4000 rpms or at anytime you try to go over 4000rpms. Its like the engine cuts off or loses acceleration an stays at 40 MPH and will not accelerate until the gauge for rpms goes back down under 4000 rpms. Then the engine will start to accelerate again like a normal vehicle until you try to pickup speed or accelerate over 4000 rpms.
