On Sunday September 7th 2025. I was driving 40 miles an hour. And all of a sudden my electronic braking system engaged and locked up. Big jolt and came to stop. Luckily I was not on the highway and also luckily I did not get rear-ended as well.
The contact owns a 2022 Chevrolet Equinox. The contact stated that while his wife was driving at 60 MPH, the brake pedal was depressed but the vehicle continued to drive causing the contact to crash into the vehicle in front. The entire front of the vehicle was damaged. The contact stated that the vehicle was still in motion after the crash, he had to jump out of the vehicle and manually steer the vehicle to the side of the road where it finally came to a stop. All the air bags in the vehicle deployed. The contact mentioned the automatic braking system failed to independently stop the vehicle. No warning lights were illuminated. The contact's wife who was driving sustained air bag and seat belt bruising but no medical attention was required. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to the impound lot. The insurance company had not inspected the vehicle as of yet. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was unavailable.
I purchased this vehicle in November 2022, with the understanding that it was not equipped with lane change alert with side blind zone alert and rear cross traffic alert, but the car would be retrofitted as soon as parts were available and that should be in a short time frame. To date I have not heard from GM or Koons of White Marsh on this retrofit, so I started asking questions. I also visited the sales lot at our dealership Koons of White Marsh and found that these safety features are installed on all 2023 Equinox models - so clearly the parts are available. Koons of White Marsh is saying now that they do not know when or if these safety features will be installed. I wrote a letter to GM's CEO and received two calls from the Executive Support team. First call - we would have part by Q1 2023; 2nd call said they do not know when or if we will receive the part. This missing part is putting my safety at risk as well as others driving around me as I do not have full alerts to the traffic around me.
The Park Assist light keeps coming on and should have been a recall for this item I was told by the dealership last year and they supposedly ordered part. I never received a call and now light is still coming on due to not showing any open recalls and item was never repaired
The contact owns a 2022 Chevrolet Equinox. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle lost motive power. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the throttle body had detached. The dealer reattached the throttle body; however, the failure recurred with the vehicle inadvertently decelerating and then stalling while driving. Additionally, the Lane Change Alert with Blind Side Zone Alert feature malfunctioned. The vehicle was then taken to Rosenthal Chevrolet (6500 Little River Turnpike, Alexandria, VA 22312) where an engineer diagnosed that the vehicle performed as designed and he was unable to duplicate the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and sent an engineer to Rosenthal Chevrolet to diagnose the vehicle. The failure mileage was 4,772.
Driver side blind spot would wrongfully detect a vehicle in the blind spot when there was no other vehicle around. In certain cases it would leave a huge uncertainty whether you could or not change lanes to left or make a left turn safely.
The Infotainment/Radio display goes blank or only shows random lines. This problem continues to happen several times per week. When this occurs, the Back up camera does not work which I believe violates FMVSS 208. The vehicle has been taken to the Dealership twice and the issue has not been fixed. The first visit they replaced the Radio/Radio Display and that did nothing to help the problem. The second trip to the Dealership in October 2022 resulted in them stating the problem could be a USB cable and placed it on order and we are still waiting for the part, which was supposedly on back order.
I feel asleep while driving on a residential side street. The vehicle drifted over to the right side of the road and i hit the back end of a u-haul truck. i didn't hear any warning and i don't believe the automatic braking system worked to prevent a collision with such severe damage. I was told the repairs are $16,000.00 roughly. My car has been in the Chevy body shop since the accident in May. They suddenly decided to total the car but don’t have additional charges.
