“We are leasing a 2024 Chevrolet Equinox EV. We like the car, however there is a safety issue that has continually occurring. There is a very strong reflection on the windshield from the materials that make up the dashboard. It can occur in bright sun but also on bright cloudy days. I want to be clear, I am not being blinded by the sun in my eyes but rather the dash reflecting onto the Windshield and obscuring my vision. I’ve had two close calls because of this. …”
NHTSA complaint #11718324, filed 2026-02“Having issues with the windshield wipers clearing rain when driving and multiple camera malfunctions that I have an appointment to have both checked on 12/2. Wiper stops more than 4 inches from the edge of the window which I could probably just deal with, but when driving it pulls water anywhere from 3-8 inches further across the windshield making it very hard to see when it rains harder or you drive faster. I have owned more than 15 vehicles and never experienced anything making it difficult to see during inclement weather. …”
NHTSA complaint #11701827, filed 2025-11“My drivers side view mirror has been malfunctioning. Nearly ever time I get in my car the side mirror will randomly adjust to a different position, typically all the way up or all the way down. My safety is at risk as sometimes it adjusts and I forget, then when I go to merge on to a highway or even make an evasive driving maneuver the mirror is incorrectly positioned. While I try to adjust it before I get in the car, I should not have to do this every time. The vehicle has not been taken to a dealer yet as I am out of warranty and do not want to pay $250 for exploratory work. …”
NHTSA complaint #11755938, filed 2026-08“Intella beam system turns off while driving. Radio and lights won't shut off when car is turned off. Crash detection comes on when nothing is in front of you. Dash is blank when starting the vehicle. On star not connecting and then won't turn off.”
