September 2025, January 2026 and March 2026 on the freeway heading into the caldecut tunnel and the car jerked check engine light came on and the engine went into reduced engine power. All three times the car had to be towed into the dealership, all three times the fuel pump has been replaced. This is a 2024 Equinox. Anyone living in the bay area knows what the traffic is like, my son could have been killed any of these times due to faulty parts being replaced into a new vehicle. Contacted GM and they refuse to buy it back. I see there is a class action suit for faulty fuel pumps but they seem to keep replacing the same faulty parts.
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.

My 2024 Chevy Equinox went into limp mode on 2-15-26 and gave me engine codes P228C and P0089. I encountered limp mode once before this date but no check engine light went on.

My 2024 Chevy Equinox went into limp mode on 2-15-26 and gave me engine codes P228C and P0089. I encountered limp mode once before this date but no check engine light went on. It lost acceleration while driving. I took it to Henna Chevrolet in Austin, TX and they told me that I am outside of the warranty window even though the vehicle has less than 60K miles. They told me that it would have been under the basic 36,000 mile warranty.

The AEB feature is very sensitive and has often activated when there was no good reason. For instance, it has activated a few times while moving slowly in heavy traffic. Additionally, the feature frequently activates when reversing out of a parking spot or garage, especially when the weather is rainy. In one instance during light rain, the car slammed to a halt more than five times while trying to back out of a parking spot, and there were no obstacles anywhere near the vehicle. I believe that this feature has nearly caused several accidents and has made me feel less safe while operating the vehicle. A software solution has been implemented for the 2026 model year, but not for the older models.

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. I mentioned it to the Chevy service lady when I had an appointment and she said her boyfriend had exactly the same problem with his Equinox EV. He had to put a carpet piece on the dash to stop the obscuring reflection.

Vehicle Safety Complaint – 2024 Chevrolet Equinox I am reporting a safety defect involving unintended vehicle movement and improper shutdown behavior. While operating my 2024 Chevrolet Equinox, I was able to shut the vehicle off even though it was not in Park. After shutdown, the vehicle rolled forward on its own and struck a tree. At the time of the incident, the radio remained on despite the vehicle being turned off, indicating the vehicle may not have fully entered ignition-off state. This incident suggests a potential malfunction involving one or more of the following systems: gear position detection system transmission park engagement mechanism electronic shift control module ignition state logic or body control module The vehicle should not allow shutdown unless it is in Park, or it should provide clear warnings and prevent unintended movement. This behavior presents a serious safety risk of rollaway incidents. I am requesting a full diagnostic inspection and documentation of all stored fault codes, including history codes, prior to any resets. Please also check for software updates, technical service bulletins, or known defects related to shift position recognition or ignition state control. This issue resulted in unintended movement and property damage and poses a significant safety hazard.
