1 Blind Spot Detection problem

Failure Date: 05/10/2025

Michigan vehicle 2000 miles. Vehicle is totally stock. #1 the dash is reflecting on to the windshield more than I've ever seen on any other vehicle. It's really starting to constantly take my focus off what is happening in front of me. #2 other issue is the blind spot warning system. Most michigan u-turns are single lanes that turn into two as you're turning in the u. The system is constantly beeping at me for cars that are in the inside lane for no apparent reason. Both issues are very distracting and taking my concentration off the road.

2 Blind Spot Detection problem

Failure Date: 04/01/2025

The windshield is a major safety issue. It is distorted, warped, and wavy. The dealership has ordered a replacement, but I’m worried it will be the same. As for the blind spot warning, it flashes when there is nothing present. The dealership cannot replicate, and I am not able to record when driving.

Vehicle gives false blind side alerts on driver side. Happens when no objects are approaching. Happens when vehicles pass from opposite direction. System otherwise works as advertised.

4 Blind Spot Detection problem

Failure Date: 01/07/2025

I purchased my 25 Equinox in December 2024 and immediately started having issues. I worked with multiple dealerships when the issues began and then reached out to gm for further help. After more than 6 months of gm giving me the run around, I've been left with an unsafe vehicle that even they don't want back. I had no intention of trading the vehicle within the first 3 years, but I don't feel safe in this vehicle. When I left the dealership the day I bought it, the vehicle drastically depreciated once I cleared their mailbox and to this point, gm hasn't offered any assistance with offsetting my trade difference. I also got 0% financing with gm that isn't currently being offered if I were willing to take the massive loss on my trade in. Here are just a few of the issues that I'm dealing with. The blind spot warning light stays on for no reason. Multiple updates have been done, and modules were changed and the issue remains. At night the warning light shines right in my face. I've tried adjusting the mirror completely outward and it's still an issue. I try avoiding driving at night all together because it makes it very unsafe. If I do have to drive in the dark, I have to use my arm to try blocking the light from my face, but my arm isn't big enough to block all of it. The entire dash has gone black leaving me with no speedometer or gauges. It did come back on, and the dealership ran updates. Most recently, while driving the car will slam on the brakes and put the red triangles on the windshield for no reason. I've had vehicles behind me that almost hit me because it is a drastic drop in speed. Like brake checking. Sometimes the adaptive cruise will start slowing me down like when a car is in front of you only there's nothing there. Dealership doesn't have a solution for these issues. I've also been places and come back out to the car to find that the rear hatch has opened on its own. The dealership ran updates to hopefully prevent this from reoccurring.

5 Blind Spot Detection problem

Failure Date: 12/31/2024

Blind spot indicator lights ( both left and right side) randomly alert when there is nothing beside me. Also when I’m backing into a parking spot it also randomly blinks fast.

6 Blind Spot Detection problem

Failure Date: 12/06/2024

Inappropriately activates forward emergency braking without a vehicle ahead or obstruction ahead. Inappropriately activates reverse emergency braking without a vehicle or obstruction behind. Inappropriately activating forward collision alert without vehicle or obstruction ahead. Gauge cluster display goes black while vehicle is in motion. Hypersensitivity of the left blind spot monitor. Activates without a vehicle or obstruction within the blind spot area. Causes distracting strobing during dark hours. Dealership claims to be unable to reproduce any of these issues. Claims there is no software update available to address these specific concerns nor is there a software update available in general for the vehicle. The unexpected emergency braking has left me stuck in the middle of a normally busy intersection as well as blocking another two lane road when my gauge cluster also turned off with a emergency braking incident and I could not change gears and did not know the parking brake engaged as well due to the display being off as well.
