What owners wrote
Tl*the contact owns a 2007 chevrolet equinox. Ever since the vehicle was purchased, the contact heard a ticking sound in the engine compartment. He stated that the vehicle had poor fuel mileage. The contact also had to jump from the vehicle because the serpentine belt caught a wire that was not in a wiring harness as it should have been. The contact also experienced stabilatrac failure on two separate occasions, which caused the power steering to fail.
There is a harsh smell of fuel coming from somewhere in the fuel tank area. There is no fuel leaks to be found. When starting the vehicle, the starter seems to stay engaged for a few seconds.
