Typical collision avoidance system symptoms owners report

Automatic emergency braking activates with no object present, bringing the vehicle to a sudden stop while driving on open road.
AEB triggers while backing up or parking with nothing behind the vehicle, sometimes engaging the parking brake abruptly.
Forward collision warning and AEB are described as overly sensitive when approaching stopped traffic, sounding alerts without real risk.
Super Cruise disengages unexpectedly on mapped highways with no advance warning, causing the vehicle to brake and lose steering control momentarily.
Rear camera and sensor systems reportedly show nothing detected even when AEB or braking events occur.
A software update was linked by some owners to an increase in unexpected AEB engagement afterward.

General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2024 Chevrolet Equinox EV 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.
