2025 CHEVROLET EQUINOX — Complaint #2160170
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS filed December 23, 2025
NHTSA complaint #2160170 (ODI reference 11706898) concerns a 2025 CHEVROLET EQUINOX and was filed on December 23, 2025. The owner reports the failure occurred on December 15, 2025. The report was geocoded to New Jersey based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as forward collision avoidance: warnings, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same CHEVROLET EQUINOX cohort independently describe similar forward collision avoidance: warnings failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2025 CHEVROLET EQUINOX shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
Complaint Description
My vehicle randomly turns off the foward collision system causing its supercruise system and adaptive cruise control to turn off while driving on the highway potentially causing and accident. I took it to the dealer in marlton NJ with the foward collision fault light on and they cant find anything wrong with the system as it resets itself after thr vehicle is turned off for two minutes. On our Facebook page I am not the only one who is experiencing this I will attach some documents of similar issues apparently GM has been aware of this for a while and no fix yet.
