2024 Chevrolet Equinox Ev

We just bought the car and are realizing that by removing CarPlay from the EV versions (the ICE versions have it in the same hardware) hands free texting is very problematic. Group texts com through as individual texts, voice texting back to groups doesn’t work. This is a safety issue since it will cause people to go back to looking at their phone and the lack of CarPlay is simply a money grab that comes at the expense of safety.

The instrument cluster screen displayed a message that said "service vehicle display" then went completely black. Without this screen, I have no idea how fast I'm going, the charge of the car, if there is some kind of hazard around the car. I brought the vehicle in for service on 7/2/25, where I was told the car attempted to update but failed, so they pushed through the update and it should be fine now. I then took it home, charged the car, and let it sit. As soon as I turned it on again, the "service vehicle display" message reappeared. Then as I was driving, the instrument cluster screen went out, followed by the infotainment screen. The instrument panel screen then got vertical rainbow lines across it and didn't return. I brought the vehicle back in on 7/17/25. They took the whole dashboard apart, determined that it was a loose cable, plugged it back in, and told me it should be fine now. I took the car home, charged it, and let it sit. The next time I drove it, the "service vehicle display" message returned, then the instrument panel went out. I brought it back in on 8/6/25. The car stayed there until 8/22/25, when they told me that they replaced some of the cables and it should be fine now. I am not comfortable driving this car with my 4 month old if I can't see how fast I'm going, how much charge is on the car, or worrying that the infotainment screen, and therefore the back-up camera, are going to suddenly go out.

When using the turn sign to turn right, it will overcompensate and after completing the turn, turn the left turn signal on. The vehicle is available for inspection. The dealership, on second trip for the issue, was able to duplicate the issue. They did change the turn signal stalk. It is still doing this same thing, however less. I have mentioned it the dealership that it is still occurring and they have opened a case with GM they state. It put the safety of me and others at risk because people behind me believe I am turning left all of a sudden, and I am not turning left. There were no warning messages that had or have appeared. I first reported this to the dealership in August of 2024. This has happened more than the date I put down below. It has happened 6 times since the repair was done approximately 2 months ago.

The turn signal stalk is not correctly calibrated. When you push up it will properly hold to activate the right turn signal. However, after completing the right turn and it auto releases, many times it will release so hard that it will activate the left turn signal. This leads to a confusion for other drivers as to where you intend to go and could pose a safety risk.

Front dash of car has severe reflection of light onto windshield. This reflection from the dashboard cowl cover interferes with driver's vision and impairs safe driving. We have created a make-do dashboard cowl cover from non-reflective felt to temporarily solve issue, but feel a recall that would install a new dashboard cowl cover is warranted.
