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.

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 chevrolet equinox. When the driver and passenger seats were occupied, the air bag sensor (electronic module) failed to illuminate and indicate that the seats were occupied. It was diagnosed that the air bag sensor failed, but a remedy was not provided. The VIN was not included in the federal safety agency campaign number: 07v344000 (air bags).

The failure mileage was approximately 89,000.
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.

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.

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.

When I have a passenger in the seat the airbag never comes on and the airbag light stays on and tells me it needs service. Also all my gauges are all out of wack not sure if it is a recall or not once I hit 100,000 miles all these things came about. Also there was a recall on the fuel system and at the time I did not have a problem as of yet, on 9/29/15 I then smelled the gas and called mk smith chevrolet to see if there were any recalls on this and they told me no, so I did take it somewhere else to be fixed due to it being cheaper for me and got it fixed and paid $633.60. I have document for that. Now my key in the ignition does not come out and I hear a clicking noise by the ignition I'm not sure if that as well is a recall on the equinox 2007. Please let me know if any of these problems are recalls on my vehicle. I just have read all these other complaints on the same issues on the equinox 2007.
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 the federal safety agency 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 federal safety agency 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.

Over the past few days, my stabilitrak light has come on and off while driving or just sitting in the car. Pulling into my driveway today I noticed that the light came back on for the stabilitrak. I proceeded to drive and then suddenly it became increasing hard to maneuver my steering wheel almost to the point where it felt as if it had locked up on me. I was able to drive the car back home but as I was driving I notice my air bag light came on and will not go off at all. After making it back to into my driveway I cut off the ignition waited a few minutes and turned the car back on to see if this would help either of the problems but to no avail. I have now taken the car to my local chevrolet dealer and they have informed me that they have sen this issue with a number of equinox and it is indeed an issue my stabilitrak.
