general problems of the 2017 Chevrolet Equinox

Battery was draining within the first year. Replaced it and happened again within a few months. Couldn't find the problem. Consistently needed to charge and boost the battery. Left me stuck with my kids in the car several times. Lights on dash kept going on and off going black & back on. Different lights kept coming on like service airbag, stability track, engine light, etc. Giving false readings, finally whole middle console went black, heater turned on and would not go off, could not access temp control, radio, bluetooth, etc. Battery and power was the main issue. Electrical problems. Started in may of 2018, my lease recently expired and here I am sitting at the dealer 05/27/2020 finally having them trying to get to the bottom of these problems throughout my 3 year lease.

I too have noticed that the lighting at night is not as good, actually terrible, with my 2017 Equinox as compared to my 2008 Equinox when driving at night in the country roads and surbuban neighborhood roads with little street lighting. I rarely used the brights with my 2008 Equinox. With the 2017, the same roads and highways that I drive to and from daily are difficult to see without flicking the brights in areas on the road which I was able to see clearly on the road in my 2008 Equinox. I avoid traveling at night if I can postpone for daylight due to lighting issue. My eyes vision has not changed in three years and did improve in vision from the past. I suspect this issue of bad lighting also affects the chevy cruz 2014 & 2017 which my son has both now and always tries to "get back before dark" to his home. That statement was never made driving the pontiac he drove in the past for years. I will speak to my chevy car dealership about this issue. I am concerned as this is a major safety' issue. Chevrolet needs to compare and resolve. This issue needs to be escalated! I will contact the manufacturer as well to put them on notice of this very dangerous and defective manufacturer condition.
