Owner report 11619930 · 2024-10-15 (October 15, 2024)

The contact owns a 2024 Chevrolet Equinox EV. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed with no other vehicles or objects around, the forward warning collision system was activated. As a result, the automatic emergency braking system applied the brakes, bringing the vehicle to a complete stop in the middle of the roadway. After restarting the vehicle, the vehicle returned to normal functionality, but the failure became a regular occurrence. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer or an ind…

There is a terrible glare on the window from the dashboard that makes it harder to see the road. The automatic lane change for SuperCruise is overly sensitive and has made me miss exits before by changing lanes unnecessarily. When in single pedal driving mode it will brake unnecessarily while in cruise control

I was in a parking lot and parking at an EV charger. As I attempted the brake, the vehicle did not respond, so I tried to pump the brake and still no response. It eventually made contact with the barrier in front of the charger. It caused some damage to the front end and several lights are lit up on the dash that aren't normally lit. This took place over the course of maybe 2-3 seconds, so minimal time to react to the brakes failing. The vehicle went over 3k miles earlier that day and leased back in Sept 24, so still fairly new. Have tried c…

This was new vehicle in the dealer parking lot with 215 miles on it. I took it for a test drive with the sales person in the city next to me on the passenger seat.I was on the interstate with adaptive cruise control on. When the electric breaks failed and all kinds of information popped up on the screen. The display screen toggled between, "Brake System Failure - 62 MPH Top Speed" and "Service ESC". Fortunately, interstate was not too crowded. I could sense that it took a great deal of effort effort to slow down the vehicle. So luckily there w…

We have been driving the new GM Chevy 2024 Equinox EV for a few days (only 74 miles so far) and it has been great but wanted to report a safety concern with the design of the front dash board and curvature/angle of the windshield. It is as follows. When driving into the sun on a bright sunny day there is a bad reflection from the rippled dashboard back on to the interior windshield. This makes it more difficult to see the road ahead. Leading to driver eye fatigue and possible distractions when driving into bright sunshine.

On sunny days the reflective glare off of the dashboard is incredibly unsafe. At times you have serious issues seeing through the reflections to actually see what is on the road ahead of you. Polarized sunglasses do help reduce this glare, but not eliminate it. Sunglasses are also not always available to people driving the vehicle for various reasons. It has been confirmed by many independent drivers and GM is also aware if the issue.

I was traveling on a two lane road at about 50mph and the car applied full strength regenerative braking without warning, quickly slowing down to about 40mph when I took over the throttle. I can’t remember if I was using adaptive cruise control but I believe I was. No other beeps or alerts were present (as with AEB events). There was NO other traffic present and it was middle of the afternoon with no weather except a bit cloudy. I have no idea what hazard the car could have been reacting to.

My wife was driving home after picking up my daughter from a nearby school around 3:30pm on Thursday 1/22/2026. She was driving down a road maybe at 35mph and while her foot was on the accelerator the car did a hard brake though there's nothing in front of her nor is the adaptive cruise on. She didn't hit any button and was taken by surprise along with my daughter. Luckily the car behind her was far away and didn't hit them. We haven't yet informed the dealer. This has happened before and the car has about 3900 miles on it.

Defective turn signal stalk -- often after I engage the right turn signal and complete a right turn, the left turn signal will flash for approximately three blinks, falsely alerting others in my vicinity that I'm preparing for a left turn or lane change. Additionally, it is often difficult to engage the right turn signal, as the stalk won't stay engaged, making it difficult for me to signal a right turn or lane change.

The turn signal going in either direction has 2 positions. The first is regular on that keeps the turn signal on until it is turned off or until steering wheel is turned off. The other position is the “flick” that flashes the signal 3 times and turns it off on its own. When I set my turn signal to the regular on position to turn right, after I complete my turn the signal turns itself off and goes into the default off position. However when returning itself into the off position, it ends up going into the “flick” position for left turn. The sign…

After engaging the right turn signal and turning the wheel in that direction, then turning it back to the center for some reason makes the left turn signal click on for three clicks. The frontal collision warning system is way too sensitive when creeping up to stopped traffic it will beep when there is no risk of collision. And finally the blindspot detection sometimes warns the driver even when there's traffic coming from the opposite direction on the road when there's no risk of collision.

The turn signal stalk is not correctly calibrated. When you push up it will properly hold to activate the right turn signal. However, after completing the right turn and it auto releases, many times it will release so hard that it will activate the left turn signal.

This slotted design creates numerous surfaces across the entire width of the dash that easily reflect the light thus producing a horrible glare on the windshield.

After Super Cruise disengages and applies the transition brake, the brake pressure sometimes doesn’t release. The vehicle remains partially or fully braked and won’t roll freely for up to 30 minutes while on a freeway or highway. We are able to move the car to the side of road when this happens but slowly. In one case we attempted to exit the freeway and the breaks got so hot they locked up in the middle of an intersection and the police department had to direct traffic around us.

After activating the turn signal fully, it will often spring past the neutral/off setting and straight into signaling the opposite direction. Occasionally this is with enough force that the signal will stay on, but it is usually only with force sufficient to tap the other signal and register only 2-3 blinks before stopping. This is a safety issue because it looks like erratic signaling behavior to those outside of the vehicle. When travelling on busy highways at speeds exceeding 60mph erratic signaling of this kind can confuse other drivers an…

The Equinox EV has rear Automatic Emergency Braking. On multiple occasions while backing up the vehicle's AEB has activated by slamming on the parking brake. A check of the rear camera and sensor system shows the vehicle detected nothing. A visual check also shows nothing behind the vehicle that's outside the sensor system's field of view. When this happens it feels like you just backed into a wall - hard. Latest incident was this morning while backing into a spot in a parking garage.
