2007 Chevrolet Equinox Air Bags & Restraints Problems

Dashboard shows service passenger air bag. Yes available for inspection Passenger safety at risk. Not confirmed by dealer Has not been inspected

My passenger airbag doesn't pick up when someone is sitting in it and says service airbag. Chevrolet had recalls on them but not in my state. Now no one has to be in the seat and it will flash service airbag and the light on the dash stays on. I can't afford to fix it myself and think Chevrolet is responsible for the fix.

Passenger seat airbag is malfunctioning. It won't also sense that a passenger is seating in the seat. I am referring to a full grown adult and not a young child, so weight is not an issue and it should sense someone occupying the seat. The airbag will turn off and on while driving with the passenger seat occupied. When this happens, the service airbag system message comes across the dash as well as the red airbag light. This is a very serious safety issue that needs to be looked into. A passenger could get seriously injured or possibly die in the event of an accident, as the airbag won't deploy. First noticed the issue a few months ago and it seems to be happening more frequently.

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.

MY AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON AND STAYING ON 90% OF THE TIME AND WHEN I HAVE PASSENGER THE PASSENGER AIRBAG DOESN'T TURN ON

THE PASSENGER AIRBAG SENSOR WAS NOT WORKING CORRECTLY. IT WOULD SOMETIMES NOT REGISTER IF SOMEONE WAS SITTING IN THE SEAT OR NOT. THEN THE SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND HAS STAYED ON. THIS MEANS THAT THE AIRBAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY IN CASE OF A CRASH. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. I LOOKED UP TO SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL ON IT. THERE ISN'T AN OPEN RECALL ON MY PARTICULAR VIN NUMBER BUT THERE IS ON SOME OF THE SAME MODEL. I HAVE SEEN MANY COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER OWNERS OF 2007 CHEVY EQUINOXES. I BELIEVE THIS IS A MANUFACTURER PROBLEM AND SHOULD HAVE A RECALL ISSUED FOR IT. THE REPAIR COST IS ABOUT $1000.

MY CHEVY EQUINOX LT HAS THE PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT ON. IT SAYS IT NEEDS TO BE SERVICED BUT MY CAR DOESN'T FALL UNDER THE RECALL. I PURCHASED THIS CAR OFF OF SOMEONE, THERE HAS BEEN NO ACCIDENT REPORTS. IT JUST SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING. MY CAR ONLY HAS 98,000 MILES.IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE COVERED BY CHEVY.

WHILE DRIVING SUDDENLY STABLITRAK SERVICE LIGHT AND ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. DOOR LOCKS START UNLOCKING AND LOCKING, ALL LIGHTS START FLASHING AND CAR SLOWS DOWN. AT THE SAME TIME STEERING WHEEL BECOMES VERY TIGHT AND UNABLE TO TURN. HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING ANY SPEED. HAVE HAD MANY VISITS TO MECHANICS: ECM REPLACED AND PROGRAMMED WAS THE LAST ATTEMPT PRIOR TO THAT I HAD A NEW STARTED PUT ON. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE FOR CHEVROLET'S FROM MY RESEARCH. RECENTLY BOUGHT A USED 2014 CHEVY TRAVERSE LT AND I'M STARTED TO SEE THE SAME ISSUES AND I'VE ONLY HAD IT 1 WEEK. I'M VERY UPSET THESE MODELS AREN'T SAFE. TO MANY TIMES TO COUNT HOW MANY TIME IT'S HAPPENED MAYBE 30-40 IN 1 YEAR.

The airbag on the passenger side of my 2007 Chevrolet Equinox LS. Has never worked correctly. I purchase my 2007 Chevrolet Equinox LS coming up on 2 year's ago. Since I purchased my car the passenger side air bag has never worked correctly. Sometimes it would turn on maybe 5% of the time I had a passenge. The 95% it doesn't come on and says service air bag. Now the service air bag is staying on. Chevrolet had a big recall on the 2007 Chevrolet Equinox for 2 or 3 problems with the passenger air bag. I can not afford to pay for this myself. I feel Chevrolet should pay for the fix. I am scared to drive my Equinox because I don't know if it is going to deploy while I'm driving. I had reported this on KKB more then once. I would greatly appreciate some information on how I can make Chevrolet pay for the fix. Thank you for your time

WE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS AS SO MANY EQUINOX OWNERS ARE WITH PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG SEAT SENSOR. THIS PROBLEM IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. WHY WAIT FOR MORE PEOPLE TO BE INJURED OR WORSE AND DEMAND GM ADDRESS THIS ISSUE ONCE AND FOR ALL.

WE BOUGHT OUR SON THIS VEHICLE WHEN HE GOT HIS LICENSE BACK IN SEPT 2019. THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT SENSOR ISN'T WORKING CAUSING THE PASSENGER AIR BAG TO NOT BE SAFELY ENGAGED. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE A RECALL AND REPLACED IMMEDIATELY. ALSO, THERE IS HARDLY ANY HEAT COMING FROM THE BLOWERS. WE HAD IT IN MULTIPLE TIMES BUT NOONE CAN FIGURE IT OUT. WE HAVE REPLACED: HEATER CORE, WATER PUMP, THERMOSTAT, RADIATOR, RESEVOIR. ECT..FLUSHED IT A MILLION TIMES AND HAD THE HEADS PRESSURE CHECKED, NOTHING WORKED. IT GETS VERY LITTLE HEAT WHEN IDLING, AND GIVES "LUKE WARM" HEAT WHEN RPMS INCREASE WHILE DRIVING. LAST WINTER MY SON COULD HARDLY KEEP HIS WINDSHIELD DEFROSTED/DEFOGGED AND ALMOST LOST VISIBILITY WHILE DRIVING TO SCHOOL. NOT TO MENTION FREEZING TO DEATH WITH NO ADEQUATE HEAT. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE.

THE PASSENGER SEAT AIRBAG DOES NOT TURN ON WHEN A PASSENGER IS SITTING IN THE SEAT. SOMETIMES IT WILL TURN ON AND OFF WHEN SOMEONE IS SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT.

2007 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO SERVICE AIR BAG INDICATOR LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON DASHBOARD PANEL. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL.*JS

PASSENGER AIR BAG SENSOR NOT WORKING CORRECTLY. SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON AND WHEN SOMEONE IS SITTING IN PASSENGER SEAT THE AIRBAG DISPLAY ON DASH WILL GO ON AND OFF. THE SENSOR DOESN'T DETECT ALL THE TIME THAT A PASSENGER IS SITTING IN THE SEAT.

PASSENGER SEAT AIRBAG SENSOR DOES NOT DETECT WHEN AN OCCUPANT IS IN THE SEAT, SO THE AIRBAG IS ALWAYS OFF. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR SEVERAL MONTHS.

PURCHASED A USED 2007 CHEVROLET EQUINOX 6 HOURS AFTER PURCHASE, SERVICE AIRBAGS LIGHT, SERVICE T TIRE MONITOR SYSTEM AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON IN THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND GAGS GUAGE STOPPED WORKING..

THIS VEHICLE WAS SUPPOSEDLY REPAIRED IN A PREVIOUS RECALL, HOWEVER THE ISSUE WITH THE PASSENGER SEAT AIRBAG SENSOR PERSISTS. RECENTLY IT IS INCREASINGLY DIFFICULT TO GET THE SENSOR TO WORK FOR THE FRONT SEAT PASSENGER, AND IT GOES ON AND OFF AS THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN. EITHER THE REPAIR WAS NOT ADEQUATE TO COMPLETELY RESOLVE THE PROBLEM OR NOT ACTUALLY COMPLETED.

THIS VEHICLE IS ONE OF SEVERAL THAT HAVE BEEN REPORTED TO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH WHEEL SPEED AND PSI SENSORS, WHICH THEN CAUSES THE TRACTION CONTROL TO BELIEVE COMPUTER WISE IT HAS NO TRACTION, THEREFORE THE LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON AND THE COMPUTER SOMETIMES SHUT THE TRACTION CONTROL OFF WHEN IT NEEDS TO BE ON. IT ALSO HAS AIRBAG TROUBLE WITH THE PASSENGER SEAT, ALSO LIKE THE RECALL. HOWEVER, DESPITE THE FACT 2007'S WERE ISSUED THIS RECALL, IT'S SAYING MY 'VIN' DOES APPLY TO THESE RECALLS. FIND THAT HARD TO BELIEVE WHEN THESE THINGS ARE MESSED UP. JUST WANT GM MOTORS TO AWKNOWLEDGE IT'S POSSIBLE THAT THIS VEHICLE WAS MISMANUFACTURED.

MY DAUGHTERS 2007 EQUINOX , HAS THE WELL KNOWN, PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG SENSOR FAILURE PROBLEM. IN.CASE OF AN ACCIDENT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY. THIS IS AN $800 +/- FIX. SEVERAL THOUSAND EQUINOX, TORRENT, SATURN AND OTHER GM CARS BUILT ON THIS PLATFORM ARE AFFECTED. SEVERAL MODEL YEARS SUFFER FROM THIS AILMENT. "FAILURE OF THE AIR BAG TO DEPLOY CAN RESULT IN INCREASED INJURIES OR DEATH." THE SATURN SKY AND PONTIAC SOLSTICE HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM AND IT WAS CORRECTED RECENTLY UNDER RECALL. IT IS MY OPINION THAT THESE VEHICLES SHOULD BE RECALLED AND THIS PROBLEM CORRECTED.

PASSENGER AIRBAG SENSOR DOES NOT REGISTER WITH AIRBAG CONTROL MODULE. BROUGHT IT TO CHEVY FOR REPAIR. 600 BUCKS LATER AND A NEW SENSOR, AIRBAG STILL ISN'T RESPONDING. CHEVY TELLS ME I NEED A NEW AIRBAG CONTROL MODULE FOR 700 BUCKS, HAD ALREADY SPENT 1300 ON THAT VISIT. AIRBAG DOES NOT REGISTER PASSENGER, COMPUTER WILL NOT RESET AND SYNC WITH CONTROL MODULE. THIS SHOULDN'T REQUIRE THE ENTIRE MODULE TO BE REPLACED, NOR SHOULD I HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS SINCE THIS I'VE HEARD/READ NUMEROUS CASES ALL DEALING WITH THIS ISSUE ON THE SAME MODEL AND APPARENTLY GM REFUSES TO RECALL (ASIDE FROM THE AIRBAG REPROGRAM WHEN IT FIRST RELEASED) HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM A DEALER, WHO SAID THEY FIXED IT BEFORE I PICKED IT UP. DOES WORK INTERMITTENTLY, WHEN A LARGER PERSON SITS THERE, AIR BAG DOES REGISTER.
