CHEVROLET EQUINOX 2025 POWER TRAIN
high
On XXX while traveling near the posted speed limit and entering [XXX], my 2025 Chevrolet Equinox EV FWD suddenly lost propulsion and no longer responded normally to the accelerator. My friend was driving. The vehicle coasted to a stop but remained partially in the travel lane, creating a serious risk of being struck from behind. I immediately activated the hazard flashers and contacted OnStar SOS. There were no warning chimes, and neither of us noticed any warning message. I did not think to check the dashboard gear-selection indicator during the event, so I cannot say whether it continued to show Drive or had changed to Neutral. After the vehicle stopped, I instructed the driver to place it in Park so it would not roll. After waiting several minutes for assistance, I attempted to restart the vehicle. It started immediately and subsequently operated normally. When I first asked my friend to move it, I initially failed to remind her that the brake pedal had to be pressed before shifting out of Park. Once the brake was applied, the vehicle shifted normally. I then drove it completely onto the shoulder and continued to our hotel without further incident. OnStar later performed remote diagnostics and reported no faults. The MyChevrolet app showed all vehicle systems as normal. OnStar also reported that the vehicle software was fully up to date and that there were no open recalls. The vehicle has continued to operate normally, but the cause of the sudden loss of propulsion remains unknown. No collision or injury occurred, but the event presented a substantial safety hazard because the vehicle became disabled at road speed and stopped partially in an active traffic lane.

CHEVROLET EQUINOX 2025 VISIBILITY/WIPER
medium
The 2025 Chevrolet Equinox EV suffers from a severe engineering design flaw in its front dashboard that creates a critical safety hazard. Under normal daylight driving conditions, the design of the dashboard surface produce an extreme, blinding glare across the inside of the windshield. This intense reflection completely obliterates the driver's forward line of sight. Because this visual obstruction occurs suddenly depending on the angle of the sun, it creates an immediate and dangerous crash hazard. It severely compromises the driver’s ability to see pedestrians, oncoming traffic, and road obstacles, making the vehicle unsafe to operate during sunny days. General Motors is aware of this widespread visibility defect but has failed to issue a legitimate safety recall to fix the underlying engineering flaw. Instead, the manufacturer is offering aftermarket fabric dashboard mats to affected owners as a remedy. This band-aid solution is entirely unacceptable. These fabric mats ruin the aesthetic appearance of a brand-new vehicle, present long-term durability and cleanliness issues, and fail to address the root engineering defect. A temporary, cosmetic cover-up is not a substitute for a true safety remedy. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration needs to open a formal investigation into this visibility hazard. The manufacturer must be compelled to issue a proper safety recall that provides a permanent, engineered solution to eliminate this hazardous windshield glare.

The On Star component failed mid- drive, resulting in loss of navigation and emergency calling. This happened before, parts were replaced and it has happened again.

CHEVROLET EQUINOX EV 2025 FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
low
I have had multiple times where my car kicks in the automatic emergency brake because it things I’m about to hit something. All those instances that it has happened, I was not about to hit something and the car short stops and stops in the middle of the street which is so dangerous because then I quickly have to start my car so that someone doesn’t crash into me since I’m stopped in middle of the road
