FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL, SERVICE BRAKES
Brand new Chevrolet Equinox EV. When Adaptive Cruise Control is engaged, vehicle will accelerate or coast to mach speed of vehicle ahead, but will not engage brakes. ACC would collide with vehicle ahead unless driver acts. Problem is ongoing. Not one-time. Have scheduled dealer service.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
I recently purchased a Chevy Equinox EV and observed that it has a severe dashboard reflection on the windshield. It can be very distracting to the point that you can't clearly see what is in front of you. It requires concentration to focus beyond the wind shield. I notice it mostly during the day. An internet search reveals many complaints from 2024 and 2025 Equinox ev owners. There is an aftermarket industry that has sprung up manufacturing custom mats to place on the dash to eliminate the problem.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
The entire dash reflects onto the windshield. Extremely difficult to see through whenever I was driving. I pulled into a grocery store to safely get a photo, which I will attached.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER, VISIBILITY/WIPER, STEERING
Two major complaints this Vechile #1 The current std operating control features are a flat out Safety Issue NO-ONE has taken into account the display of to name a few such as Fan-Speed Hi/Low, AC On/Off ,Heated Seat adjustment you cannot View while driving during daytime hours or late afternoon 1-2 hrs before dark But you can view 100% only when the Sun is directly behind you ( THEY DO NOT LITE UP UNTIL ITS NIGHT TIME & ONLY AT NIGHT) You might be laughing well zip it up ( WHY IT FORCES THE DRIVER TO TAKE THEIR EYES OFF THE ROAD) it’s not funny Gone is Std button or knob you can reach and adj .Trying do certain adjustments I find myself wandering off the highway onto Rumble strips searching for control of certain p.b. #2 This car while Traveling on [XXX] threw PA into Ohio with only 500+ miles we come up on quick stop Traffic back up ( TRYING TO QUICKLY TURN ON THE HAZARD WARNING SW —-NOT FOUND )2-days latter still have not found I should not have to be searching the I/Net or reading some now small portion of a new idea shortened version of a operators manual Basic functions we all should be able to Operate any Brand Vehicle Not this Car this [XXX] design Control Panel is a Ralph Nader example of how to Distract every driver behind the wheel. Also a lot of overall reviews many give this car great reviews But No One Takes Ease of Std Operator Functions into Account of any Safety Factor and I don’t trust you or any Government Agency will be telling GM this design of Std Control access eventually will cause many accidents . Oh yes everyone makes a big deal about one talking on a cell phone that is an Ticket in waiting pales as a Joke to just plain driving this Vehicle ( IT IS A VERY DISTRACTING NIGHTMARE ) thanks [XXX] Camden NY Cell [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Was driving down the road with a sudden loss of power to the infotainment system plus dashboard resulting in all black and being unable to see your speed/turn signals. The steering wheel lights suddenly flashed then shut off and won’t turn back on.

VISIBILITY/WIPER, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
On sunny days the reflective glare off of the dashboard is incredibly unsafe. At times you have serious issues seeing through the reflections to actually see what is on the road ahead of you. Polarized sunglasses do help reduce this glare, but not eliminate it. Sunglasses are also not always available to people driving the vehicle for various reasons. It has been confirmed by many independent drivers and GM is also aware if the issue.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
After I engage the right turn signal and complete a right turn, it occasionally bounces the turn signal back too hard and then the "soft" (not fully clicked in) and lights up my left signal about three times. This has happened multiple times since we leased it in early September.
