2008 Chevrolet Equinox Seats Problems

“I noticed that after a large thunderstorm that had a large amount of water pouring down, my car had a inch of water on the back floor in front of 2nd row. The seats were not wet and only the floor in back was wet and was seeping towards front. This meant that my windows were not open because my seats where not wet. I went to dealership and they would not do anything for me as they said it had to be my fault. Well a year later they finally agreed mold was growing and something was wrong. …”

“My 2008 chevy Equinox front passenger seat pinches you when you are exiting the car. It grabs your bottom / leg on the right side of seat. I have complained to the dealer and manufacture, they say that is the way the car is made and will not do anything about it. I have had people of all sizes try getting in and out , fat or skinny it hurts everyone. I have even asked another person with the same car if it does it to them , and they said yes and did not know what to do. My husband is the passenger most of the time and he is on blood thinners for his heart. …”

There is a service air bag warning as well as the airbag notification light. The passenger seat airbag light on the center console is always set to off no matter if someone is sitting in the passenger seat or not. I have read several complaints of this issue whether the people bought the car when it was new or used. …”
