2024 Chevrolet Equinox EV Problems

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

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 see autos or pedestrians in intersections. I find that I have to roll down the windows so that I can safely see before proceeding through the intersection. I'm not sure what I'm going to do in the winter or a driving rainstorm. I have found that wearing polarized sunglasses helps with the windshield problem but only replacing the side windows will the tinted window problem be fixed.

Driving at 50 mph car applies brakes for no reason

We have occasional issues with the car coming to a very abrupt stop for no apparent reason. Typically this will happen when going through an intersection or pulling into our garage. Auto braking has been disabled in the system settings for quite some time, and in fact, each time we get in the car we see a warning that forward anti-collision braking is off. This has happened twice withing the past 4 days and we have concerns that if it continues to be a more frequent issue it will cause an accident. I recently spoke with another GM owner who told me they are experiencing the same issue so I thought I should log a complaint to hopefully help instigate a recall/fix.

The vehicle seemingly at random, will engage automatic emergency braking. These events are hard braking events, locking up wheels and engaging ABS for brief moments at 75mph. There is no sensitivity adjustment, forcing the safety features off to ensure I am not rear ended. In my first month of ownership, we have experienced: 1) backing out of my garage in good weather and into my driveway (flat surface, no hills) causing whiplash. 2) inside turning lane of a 2-lane left turns, presumably detecting the outside lane vehicle, stopping in the middle of an intersection instantly. Assumed going 18-20mph. Almost caused accidents behind me. 3)On interstate, going 75 mph in good weather, passing a vehicle estimated to be going 65mph, caused the braking system to engage hard and the tires to squeal from locking up. Vehicle nearly lost control. Software is up to date, last update was mid March 2025

Have had no heat in the car for several days. Today while driving on the freeway, vehicle has warning come up of "High Voltage Warning" and "Service Vehicle Soon." Dealership cannot get car in for another week and no loaner vehicles to any customers.

The dashboard glare is very noticeable and makes it difficult to see out of. After the right turn signal disengages it will sometimes initiate the left turn signal for 3 clicks. Both are saftey flaws

The headlamp wells fill up with snow rendering the headlamps useless. You then have to exit the vehicle, and clean them out. All while trying not to get hit by other vehicles.

Was fast charging. After 8 minutes car stop charging. Service vehicle light come on. And vehicle will not charge now. No regeneration either. Burning smell from vehicle. Dealer found code p1c34 Hybrid/EV Battery Pack Current Sensor - Temperature Sensor Circuit Low. Battery was replaced.

The turn signal stalk, when self-canceling from a right turn, will drop too hard, and will turn on the left turn signal after the turn, causing confusion to not only the vehicle operator, but other drivers on the road. This has happened on multiple occasions.

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 contact owns a 2024 Chevrolet Equinox EV. The contact stated that the front driver's side windshield wiper travel was reduced, reducing the visibility of the roadway while driving in the rain. Additionally, the contact stated that while driving under the sun, the dashboard reflection on the windshield was significant, severely reducing the visibility of the roadway. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, but no assistance was provided. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 300.

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. The vehicle locked all doors with the key fob still inside the cabin. The doors appeared unlocked (handles popped out) but would not open from the outside. The key fob and vehicle are available for inspection. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? This malfunction created a severe child safety hazard. If my daughter had been inside during warm weather, she could have been trapped in a rapidly heating vehicle with no way to escape. This posed a life-threatening risk. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Not yet. The problem occurred once unexpectedly, but I intend to raise it with my Chevrolet dealer for confirmation. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? Not yet. The incident was resolved without emergency services, but I am reporting it immediately to GM and NHTSA for investigation. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? There were no warning lamps, chimes, or alerts. The vehicle gave no indication that the fob was inside or that the system had locked incorrectly.

I was driving South on interstate 55 near Arnold Missouri in adaptive cruise control mode at approximately 65 mph when the car braked suddenly and came to a complete stop on the interstate. Car would not go forward after stopping. Turned the car off and restarted and the car now would drive normally. Have not used ACC since and car has behaved normally. Took the car to dealership in Farmington, MO and they reported no error codes and no recalls. I had driven over 13,000 miles in the car without any incidents previously.
