2025 CHEVROLET EQUINOX Complaints

On two separate occasions, the dash and radio restarted while we were driving. Whole driving down the highway, the speakers stopped working, both screens would go blank and the red pre collision lights would turn on. This causes the inability to see your speedometer or other required information while driving. I am unsure if this affects any other safety equipment from functioning if there was a crash during this timeframe. This lasted for several seconds while the system essentially restarted itself. Once everything turned back on, everything worked as it should. It went into the dealer for the first time it did this and they did a software update to prevent this but it did not apparently fix the issue.

The dashboard glare on the windshield is unsafe in this vehicle - unable to see pedestrians crossing the road, etc. It's a serious issue that GM needs to remedy.

Yesterday while approaching a hairpin exit, all of a sudden lights went on for the Stabilitrack, Collision alert and a number of other lights. Messages popped up saying braking assist was not available, cruise control was not available. Basically, the braking assist was gone and I had to press REALLY hard on the brake pedal to get any slowdown. All regen was gone and it was like driving a car without power brakes. I also got a message saying it would not go faster than 62mph. There was no indication of any issues prior to the Brake assist failure. This put me at extreme risk because it was essentially a power braking failure and it was extremely difficult to slow down. I had to really push hard on the brake pedal. I was able to drive my car back to the dealership where it is sitting now, waiting to be looked at in the morning of 3/24/25. I have attached a PDF of the OnStar diagnostic report, cryptic as usual, but it is a record of the codes that were thrown. Also seems like some modules were not communicating properly. I have also attached some photos of the error messages that were showing this morning.

There is a glare from the dashboard that makes it a safety concern when driving during daylight hours

The car phantom breaks randomly when backing up, but seems to happen more often when it rains or snows.

Windshield glare from ribbed dashboard reflection under sunlight is distracting and often obstructs visibility so severely that it's impossible to drive safely without wearing polarized sunglasses or placing a dark colored dash mat. Photos do not capture how saturated the reflection appears. In the provided photo it looks like I'm driving into an office building.

1. Windshield has distortion on passenger side. 2. Vehicle is available for inspection upon request. Distortion in windshield causes blurriness to driver and could cause a collision/accident due to driver having visual restrictions. 3. Vehicle was taken to dealer and dealer confirmed the distortion, contacted GM, who also confirmed distortion. 4. vehicle has been inspected by Ourisman Chevrolet of Rockville, MD. They sent videos/pictures to GM and GM acknowledged distortion/defect in windshield. 5. The car was on show room floor and not test driven prior to purchase. Purchaser/Owner did not notice until following day during daylight hours.

dashboard reflection on the windshield: When I am driving, the sun hit the dashboard and back up on the windshield , I see the dashboard on windshield make very hard to see on the road. The top of the dashboard has a mesh-like pattern that reflects sunlight onto the windshield. When the sun is out, this pattern becomes visible on the windshield, making it almost impossible to see the road ahead. Depending on the time of day, and the direction you are traveling, the glare is very very bad. It is so bad that it obstructed my vision, the majority of the time I couldn’t even see it. Very unsafe at times - especially with any hills (even very small ones) or driving into light.

I bought the vehicle new and the next day, I noticed a distortion on the passenger and drivers side windshield. When I drive it makes me nauseous and dizzy. I took it to the dealership and they said the windshield is on backorder. It is not safe to drive!

The screen for the radio goes blank and then the dash goes blank this happend a few times randomly but this time it was longer and then it told me there was no key found in car while driving and I was at a light the car in front moved forward and I started and went forward and my car braked unexpectedly I adjusted the gap settings but I don’t believe this should have happened the car seemed far
