AIR BAGS
About six months ago, my steering wheel would get hot in the middle of it, but I kind of didn’t know what that was but then now my airbag sensor came on and then went off. I’m not really sure but I feel like something’s not right with it. Gonna go get it fixed, but I don’t feel like it should be something that was not recalled because it’s not right

VISIBILITY/WIPER
The wipers quit working while I was driving in a thunderstorm. Safety was definitely a risk as I was on a major highway. I pulled over and waited for rain to stop and made it to an auto parts store to replace fuse. Unfortunately, this wasn’t the issue. The recall does not include 2016 equinox. I don’t understand why it’s not included.

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.

Sunlight hits the dashboard and reflects a glare onto the windshield that partially blocks view of the road. The dashboard reflection is enough that it can be difficult to see traffic, people cross the road, etc.

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.

The temperature sensor keeps breaking down after using the car under normal conditions for 1–2 months of use. I have changed it a few times, as well as the electrical harnesses and connectors, and the problem persists.
