What owners report

  • Windshield displays severe dashboard glare and reflection in sunlight, making it hard to see the road and pedestrians.
  • Turn signal stalk sometimes triggers the opposite-direction blinker for a few clicks after completing a turn, confusing other drivers.
  • Automatic emergency braking activates and stops the vehicle in the middle of the road with no obstacles present, then throws warning lights after restart.
  • Brakes reportedly failed to respond when parking near an EV charger, resulting in a low-speed collision with a barrier.
  • Infotainment screen and center cluster became hot to the touch after about 45 minutes of driving, with dealer finding faceplate temperature control circuit error codes.
  • Front driver-side wiper showed reduced travel, cutting down visibility during rain.

    Forward collision avoidance: warnings:external/pedestrian alert

    General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2024 Chevrolet Equinox EV vehicles. The pedestrian alert sound system may not produce a sufficient change in volume between the vehicle being stopped and moving at low speeds. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 141, "Minimum Sound Requirements for Hybrid and Electric Vehicles."

    Risk: A vehicle that fails to make sufficient sound may result in pedestrians being unaware of an approaching vehicle, increasing the risk of injury.

    Remedy: The vehicle's body control module software will be updated by a dealer, or through an over-the-air (OTA) update, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed November 17, 2025. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020. GM's number for this recall is N252527170.
