20260211FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

Almost every time I fill up with gas ( I use top tier like the manual states), once I start driving, it feels like it misfires or jerks. It will do it one/ two times and then it’s fine… until I fill up with gas again. It’s been doing this since I got the vehicle- no indicator lights on.

20260211LANE DEPARTURE: BLIND SPOT DETECTION

Blind spot indicator lights ( both left and right side) randomly alert when there is nothing beside me. Also when I’m backing into a parking spot it also randomly blinks fast.

20260211STRUCTURE:BODY

While driving under normal conditions, a body panel detached from my vehicle and flew off without any collision, impact, or external cause. This was not an accident. The vehicle was being operated properly, and the failure occurred spontaneously, creating a significant safety risk to myself and other motorists. Since purchasing this vehicle less than one year ago, it has been subject to multiple recalls, raising further concerns about overall build quality and safety. I am also aware of reports

20260209ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Vehicle telematics module defect across the board that deactivates safety features from Onstar in case of an accident. GPS and Internet connection lost.

20260205CrashFORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL

SEE NHTSA Safety Recall Report 25V-12- It appears it should apply to both 2025 FRONT WHEEL DRIVE Chevy Equinox EVs with ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL (and without Super Cruise) in addition to 2025 ALL WHEEL DRIVE Equinox EVs with ACC (also without Super Cruise). This is very dangerous. Here's what happened: My 8 month old 2025 Chevrolet Equinox EV FRONT WHEEL DRIVE w/ACC(no Super Cruise) has had 2 instances where a very large "thunk" sound and vibration emanating from the rear of the car while stopped

Just after Thanksgiving, my vehicle displayed a “Service Emergency Calling” message. I brought it to the dealership and they documented the concern, referencing GM bulletin PIP6077B, but no repairs were performed. On December 30th, while parking, I shifted into reverse and the vehicle would not reverse and instead moved forward. A “Service Transmission” warning appeared and the vehicle was towed. The dealer cleared the codes and released the vehicle without performing any diagnostics. Ab

20260203VISIBILITY/WIPER

The angle of the windshield reflects the dashboard so much that you can't see out the windshield when heading anywhere towards the sun. It also reflects the dash at night inside the car. It's a significant safety hazard and a driving hazard the car creates for itself. This is a design defect, according to all service departments at GM I have visited to address the issue. Update: The dash cover remedy GM provided did not help; in fact, it's more annoying now than before and distracting.

20260123VISIBILITY/WIPER

Windshield glare is horrible. It can cause distortion of objects. It can cause dizziness. Especially on bright sunlight and when many lights from oncoming traffic reflect off the windshield. I have had to pull over a few times. The dashboard shininess is a real problem. The dealerships don’t want to order the free dash mat unless they “diagnose” it even though it is a known problem and they ignored my concerns when I went in to the dealership even though a free dash mat is offered by GM
