My vehicle was stationary. My vehicle was parked in the carport for a few weeks. When i can back to the vehicle it was covered in mold. It was all over the dashboard and the seats. I looked online and a lot of consumers were experiencing the same problem. There is a water leak. The spare tire well has a lot of water in it. Gm has a document id number 2198426 describing how to fix this water leak. I feel since a lot…

Noticed the paint is peeling off the back lift gate. It has continued to peel since. There is no rust. Took it to a dealer and he said he thought there was a recall due to the paint not adhering correctly. It's the only area on the vehicle and it looks terrible. Please let me know if this is covered by gm. Thank you

I was driving my 2007 equinox yesterday when i had to hit the breaks a surge of water came from under my backseat soaking all the carpet. After that i looked in the trunk. The trunk was dry so i lifted it up to check by the spare tire and found a ton of water. My car has had a funky smell for awhile now. I am not sure how long the water has been collecting. But this is a major health issue. I have two small children…

On 05/05/13 my 7 year old daughter noticed that the backseat floorboards where wet. It's been raining a lot so i shrugged it off without checking. On 05/06/13 i noticed puddling in the front drivers side floorboard. Remembering what my 7 year old had said i looked back to find standing water in the back seat floor boards!!! I researched online and checked the spare tire well as recommended. It had standing water! I…

During the winter i began to hear water moving around somewhere in my vehicle as i drove around but had no idea where this sound was coming from. I was vacuuming my vehicle one day and the carpet was completely soaked. I began to research online and found that many equinox owners had leak problems and they had found water had accumulated in the spare tire well. I checked the spare tire well and sure enough…

Spare tire well under the floor in the rear of my equinox fills with water. This morning it had more than two inches. I did not realize this was happening and i do not know where it is coming from. My neighbor has the same problem as does his coworker (both are fleet vehicles). He just told me about it and i looked in mine. He has gotten a new company car as he was getting sick from mold from the leak. *tr

I had to have my trunk compartment replaced and some areas around the frame of the body re-sealed due to excess water accumulating in the spare time area. I was first told by the dealer repair shop that it was a defect but when i requested reimbursement gm denied that the dealer ever told them this. I believe gm is denying that there are some structural problems with this year and model and my fear is that another…

We own a 2007 equinox, our friend stated that his equinox had water in the spare tire compartment. We have been getting sick for a while and didn't know why. We looked in our spare tire compartment and there was a foot of water. Now we cannot drive this vehicle for health reasons. Gm knew about this problem for there are 3 service bulletins for this problem. They will not help us with a trade assist and we cannot…

The stabilitrac comes on it seems every 4-6 months and each time i take to the dealer (twice since purchase) they make adjustments but the light/issue comes back. When the light is on and it rains the traction on the surface is terrible! The vehicle pulls and presents an issue of safety for the driver. *tr

There is an awful smell in the back of the car (mold) and water is building up on the floor of the car. Whenever it rains heavy water is seeping into the car and onto the back floor. The smell is becoming unbearable to ride in the car. *tr
