Electrical System · reported Nov 9, 2026
My 2025 Chevrolet Equinox AWD would not start, and the wheels were locked, preventing the vehicle from being moved normally. Message on HUB screen stated "System Error. See dealership to restore operating system." The vehicle had a little over 14,000 miles at the time. Had to be towed in. When the vehicle first went to the dealership, they found that the battery had critically low voltage. After consulting with GM Technical Assistance, the dealership replaced the battery. Even with the new battery, the vehicle still would not start and the wheels remained locked. The dealership then replaced…
Vehicle Speed Control · reported Nov 6, 2026
when using adaptive cruse control the car senses a car coming at me and breaks. there was nothing ahead of me nor any oncoming traffic in the other lane. It was a straight road with clear and open lanes. this has happened two times. it takes the car down from 55 to 40 right now. Lucky there wasn't anyone behind me. My second issue the car breaks when backing out of the garage with no obstructions. no safety issue but frustrating.
Electrical System · reported Nov 5, 2026
Blindspot warning indicator (driver's side) sporadically lights up any where from a blink to approx. 10seconds along with corresponding seat vibrations. Also, forward obstruction light and seat vibration will also activate with nothing in sight. All occur while driving. Which can lead to anxiety about human error. I've had my vehicle to Auburn Chevrolet 4 times for this problem. They tell me that both modules connected to this problem have been replaced. And all software is up to date. Chevy admits this is a problem and states that they are working on a solution. When I asked the service…
Steering · reported Oct 27, 2026
Steering wheel oscillates at higher speeds, most notably around 64 mph. This has been confirmed on roads of various types (concrete, asphalt, etc) by GM dealers. Manufacturer, so far, is not taking responsibility for this issue impacting numerous Equinox EVs.
Unknown or Other · reported Oct 24, 2026
My 2025 Chevrolet Equinox EV has a recurring rodent intrusion problem in the HVAC system. I first noticed a persistent foul odor from the vents. When I inspected the cabin air filter, I found evidence of mice. I replaced the filter, but the odor continued, and I later found fresh mouse droppings on the new filter. Live mice were also found in the system, and the HVAC blower fan has since become very noisy. A service technician at CARR Cheverolet in Oregon told me this is a known issue with this vehicle: the cabin air intake has no screen or mesh, which lets rodents reach the cabin air filter…
