2025 CHEVROLET EQUINOX Complaints

When driving in or snowy conditions, the recessed headlights fill with snow, slush ice rendering the headlights useless. It can be very hard to see as the headlights are essentially covered.

There is a very bad glare from the dashboard to the windshield during the day. It’s very distracting and also makes it hard to see through the windshield.

The dashboard lines are quite visible and distracting in the bright sun. It is very difficult to see clearly with sun glare. I feel that this design is dangerous and purely aesthetic. It should be removed.

The car's dashboard has a patterned design (stripes or bars) which casts an extremely distracting glare onto the windshield. It is noticeable in all conditions, but in sunny conditions I have especially noticed this interferes with my ability to see the road and/or pedestrians. I had one incident where I was turning off a road and into a parking lot and nearly missed a pedestrian on the sidewalk because of this (in sunny weather). This is a well-known issue among Chevy Equinox EV owners, starting with the original 2024 model and continuing with the 2025 model. It is so much of an issue that third-party companies have started selling mats that sit on the dashboard to reduce the striped glare.

Design of the dashboard creates a glare on the windshield that makes it extremely difficult to see in bright sunlight. This leads to very dangerous driving conditions.

The adaptive cruise control does not come to a stop when the cars ahead do. It works at high speeds as expected, but when traffic slows to a stop, it will not brake enough to prevent you from hitting the vehicle in front of you.

When I activate adaptive cruise control with cruise braking my car will follow the the car ahead of me as it speeds up or slows down. But if that car slows down to a stop light, my car will not slow down enough before the red collision warning activates and I need to apply the brakes immediately to avoid impact. Happens every time at any gap distance or set speed.

Does not adapt to front vehicles speed, just stays at the speed it is set at. I have to hit the brakes to disconnect ACC.

The turn signal stalk, when self-canceling from a right turn, will drop too hard, and will turn on the left turn signal after the turn, causing confusion to not only the vehicle operator, but other drivers on the road. This has happened on multiple occasions.

Extreme glare due to reflection of dash material and design causing lack of visibility while driving into the sun. Extremely dangerous design
