VISIBILITY/WIPER
Dash design makes windshield visibility very poor, especially in conditions where it is sunny. This is very dangerous on a typical day and even more dangerous when the sun is fully shining. After experiencing this, I googled and found numerous Chevy Equinox EV owners mention this problem. There should be a review of this and fix offered by GM.

The car vibrates hard, like being on the rumble strip, but only while driving about 1.7 rpm to 2 rpm and only sometimes. The transmission light came on. The dealer said it was leaking and fixed it. A few days later, the vibrating is back. It's at the dealer again. Still don't know what's wrong. I only have 4,500 miles on the car so far.

due to the large windshield and the dashboard design, the glare caused by sunlight reflecting off the dashboard onto the windshield is unbearable to the point where i've had to pull over. this is a huge problem and will lead to severe accidents.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
There is a glare in the windshield from the dash. During the day when the sun hits it I have a hard time seeing pedestrians, bicyclists and small animals. Any smaller (less than an average car) sized things are distorted and hard to see. I’ve tried using the visor and it doesn’t help. I’m worried it may cause me to injure somebody or some thing.

The glare from the dashboard is incredibly bad during the day. The entire front of the dash is reflected in the windshield to an intensity I’ve never experienced in a vehicle before. It is a major safety hazard the way it comes from the factory. Many people online are reporting the same issue.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
Chevy equinox EV dash design is bad. The current grooves on the dash cause significant glare on the windshield reducing the visibility and causing safety issues when driving. This is a problem not only for the driver of the car but other vehicles too because of visibility and unsafe driving conditions.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
My 2025 Equinox EV suffers the same issue many others have reported, unsafe glare from the shiny plastic dash piece. It happens during sunup and at night with street lights. This glare creates a danger that easily avoidable with either a different type of windshield or a replacement dash part that is matte finished to stop the glare. GM has failed to address this issue for 2 model years, please investigate this issue for a valid solution. Thank you.
