In owners' words
What Equinox owners report
Recent fuel/propulsion system complaints filed with NHTSA, shortened. Personal details are removed.
While car is running, fuel is leaking out the top of the tank. Fuel is leaking on exhaust, right under the tank. I have seen recalls on this year and model for a ring breaking around the fuel pump.
Keys constantly stuck in the ignition. The air bag always turns on and off. Now, there's gas leaking somewhere and you can smell it well after the cars off. I think it may be the fuel pump, which is very pricey. All these were recalled in the past but none of them included my car. 😔 😟
AFTER WORK STARTED TO SMELL STRONG GAS SMELL. LOOK UNDER VEHICLE AND SEEN PUDDLE OF GAS. SHOP SAYS IT A LEAK IN THE GAS PIPE AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED
