UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Front windshield has a terrible glare from the inside causing sight for driving obstructed. It has been hard to see driving when sun is on hitting down on it. I believe that this is a big major safety issue for many Equinox EV drivers. This needs to be recalled and a new windshield manufactured that doesn’t give off a glare.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STRUCTURE:BODY
We have had this issue for going on two years. When we bought the car, we immediately started having problems. When we were driving the car, it would start popping in the steering column. We then started having rattles within the body, that are still going, to this day. We have had 4 radios put in due to electrical, still having the same Issues with it, TO THIS DAY. There is some kind of leak inside the body that is causing water to get into the doorframe and slosh around. Chevrolet is not wanting to take accountability and lemon this car, as we’ve had it in the shop right at 10 times for the same issues.

The car while driving suddenly died. The error code is related to the fuel pump, which I now understand had a recall for the 2 previous years. The dealership does not know when a replacement part might be available.

I believe that the problem with the car is that there is an excessive amount of dashboard glare on the windshield because of the design of the dashboard

The problem I think is a safety concern is the very bad glare on the windshield. I have placed a black towel over the area to hide the reflection coming off the dashboard.

There is a terrible glare on the window from the dashboard that makes it harder to see the road. The automatic lane change for SuperCruise is overly sensitive and has made me miss exits before by changing lanes unnecessarily. When in single pedal driving mode it will brake unnecessarily while in cruise control

VISIBILITY/WIPER
Intense glare of the dashboard onto the windshield while driving. I don't know if it's due to the type of plastic the dashboard is made out of, or the grade of glass the windshield is, or both, but the glare the dashboard puts on the windshield is SEVERE and happens at ALL times of day, regardless of the car's orientation towards the sun. The glare gets even worse as dust accumulates on the windshield and dashboard. There was a pedestrian in front of me at 9AM and I barely saw them. If you search google for chevy forms and reddit forms, many others are reporting this issue. To put it into perspective, when I drive my dad's BMW, the heads up display for the speedometer is less intense than the dashboard glare in my car, and the dashboard glare in my Equinox EV takes up the ENTIRE windshield. I know it doesn't seem like much, but years and years of this everyday multiplied by thousands of drivers is bound to cause terrible traffic accidents. Thanks for taking the time to read my complaint. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

VISIBILITY/WIPER
This vehicle has a dashboard. The dashboard is made out of material that is subjected to extremely bad solar glare there are times that when driving you can’t even see out of the front window without wearing polarized sunglasses and even then you still can’t see. I’ve never had a car do this. It is so bad that when rounding corners, you may not be able to see a pedestrian or bicycle on the side of the road because you cannot see through the glare.

The dashboard on the Equinox EV has a dangerous glare that can impact driving safety for several hours at a time. The glare can be so bad that you can’t see out the windshield without some sort of visual assistance like polarized sunglasses.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
The windshield heavily reflects the dashboard in most lighting conditions, making it difficult to see out of the windshield. Polarized sunglasses can help reduce the effect of this issue, but there are many times of day when lighting conditions make it difficult to see while wearing sunglasses, but still cause the strong glare from the windshield. This issue is a common complaint of Equinox EV owners on social media.
