Backing out of a parking spot, no one around the car slams on the brakes and starts screeching! Scared the crap out of me and nearly gave me whiplash.

20251031FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING

My cars automatic braking system stops when there is no present need. It brakes with extreme force. It has happened multiple times to both myself and my husband while driving. The car stops and instantly I think I must have hit something that stopped the car. There isn't anything closer than 10 - 20 or feet away. this happens at a slow speed and is very startling. We took in in to the dealer yesterday and they told us they couldn't replicate it. It happened to my husband this morning again. I l

20251015FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING

While driving my 2024 Chevy Equinox EV in stop-and-go traffic, I experienced a sudden and violent application of the emergency braking system without warning or apparent cause. I was accelerating from a complete stop to approximately 5 MPH. The vehicle ahead of me was maintaining a distance of roughly 6 to 9 feet. Unlike previous instances where the vehicle has falsely detected an object and triggered a red warning light (without engaging the brakes), this time there was no alert or warning. The

20251006FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL

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. When this

We just bought the car and are realizing that by removing CarPlay from the EV versions (the ICE versions have it in the same hardware) hands free texting is very problematic. Group texts com through as individual texts, voice texting back to groups doesn’t work. This is a safety issue since it will cause people to go back to looking at their phone and the lack of CarPlay is simply a money grab that comes at the expense of safety.

20250920VISIBILITY/WIPER

The dash allows for significant amount of glare that reflects in bright sunlight and impare visibility through the windshield.

20250918VISIBILITY/WIPER

The 2 problems that I am reporting are visibility issues. There are situations when it is very difficult to see out of this car. When bright sunshine comes through the windshield it reflects off of the dashboard making it almost impossible to see out. Pedestrians are very difficult to see and it's very dangerous to continue driving. The second problem is that the driver and passenger side windows are deeply tinted. I thought that this is illegal. At night the windows are so dark that you cannot

20250916FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING

Vehicle engages the forward collision control system without an obstacle, locking the brakes and causing abrupt stops. This usually happens in heavy slow moving traffic conditions with sharp and short accelerations (merging and lane changing).

The vehicle will randomly brake on its own. I can be doing 70 on the interstate with no one around and it will disengage cruise and brake hard. It has nearly caused one accident when i had someone following me too closely.

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? The passive keyless entry/anti-lockout system on my 2024 Chevrolet Equinox EV failed.
