“My Chevrolet Equinox EV 2RS has glare on the front windshield due to design grille on the area below front windshield. So there is extreme glare depending on the direction of sunlight hitting that area. So I strongly feel this is a security issue for all drivers on the road and GM should alleviate this with a solution. Please advise.”

NHTSA complaint #11636329, filed 2025-01

“When driving in a direction that is nearly aligned with the sun, the reflection off the dashboard presents a hologram-like image onto the windshield which obstructs the drivers view. It looks like it’s caused by the textured pattern of the dashboard. My wife typically drives the car, and we’re just coming out of overcast days so this is the first time I’ve really noticed how bad it is.”

NHTSA complaint #11646998, filed 2025-03

“There is excessive reflection on the windshield, especially at mid morning and mid afternoon times on sunny day. This reflection is enough that visibility is limited. I have experienced instances where vehicles pulling onto the roadway were hidden from my view by this reflection.”

“I nearly drove through a red light because the glare from the dashboard was so bad. Dash has multiple vent lines in it and is in a very shiny black. Driving in sunlight knocks out nearly 50% of the visibility in the windshield. If I do not wear polarized sunglasses, it is very difficult to see. I have not had the problem confirmed. No one has inspected it. It is a design flaw that needs to be addressed because visibility is very badly impaired.”
