2025 Chevrolet Equinox complaints

While driving today at about 21 mph, when a warning came on that my car had brake assist failure. It said the speed would be limited and to break hard to enable the car to stop.. I was able to get to a parking lot safely, but my car did not break at the stoplight and went straight through. Luckily there was no one coming.. my car is at the dealership now and they are finding no issue and nothing showed up on my Chevy app. From the articles I have read it said this issue is something that happens on cars that do not have super drive. I drive a 2005 Chevy equinox RS with super Dr. so clearly the brake problem is happening on this vehicle as well.. it took all my strength to get the vehicle to stop.. I called OnStar and was going to have it towed and turned the car off. Once the car came back on all of the warning lights were gone, and then the car drove fine.. I got lucky today, but this is an issue that still needs to be addressed.. The issue was supposed to be taken care of in 2024. I just purchased my 2005 in September and I have 3100 miles on the car.. I was driving in a rural area with many hills and was scared to death. I had to keep my foot all the way on the brakes the entire time to keep myself at a slow speed..

On November 30, 2025, while driving my 2025 Chevy Equinox EV LS, the vehicle displayed a “Service High Voltage System” warning message on the center screen indicating an issue with the vehicle’s high‑voltage electrical system and that some driving and/or charging functionality may not be available. The high‑voltage battery and related components are still in the vehicle and available for inspection upon request. This fault could cause sudden loss or limitation of driving or charging capability, which may increase the risk of being stranded in traffic or in unsafe locations. Beginning in the first week of November 2025, the myChevrolet app has continuously shown a “Lithium‑Ion Battery – Schedule Service Now” alert under Diagnostics, even though no corresponding warning appeared in the vehicle until November 30. I presented the in‑app lithium‑ion battery warning to the Chevrolet dealer earlier in November; they declined to act on it, stated they do not rely on the app, and asked me to reschedule and return later, so the issue has not yet been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent shop. The vehicle has not been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance, or others specifically for this high‑voltage/battery issue. The only prior symptoms were the persistent lithium‑ion battery service notification in the myChevrolet app since early November and, as of November 30, the in‑vehicle “Service High Voltage System” warning message.

The headlights are recessed. When driving in the snow they catch the snow and block the light from coming out. I was driving home last night in a snow storm and couldn’t see very far ahead of me because my headlights were packed full of snow. The LED lights don’t produce heat to melt the snow, and there’s nowhere for the snow to fall out from so the snow and road grime just keeps getting packed into the recessed light. Very poor design.

The dashboard causes a serious glare that prevents visibility. GM has only offered a cheap dash mat as a fix and my local dealer says they don’t know anything about it. They should really replace the dash pad with the updated model and not just lay a piece of cheap carpet over the dashboard of my 50k dollar car. The attached photo dosent even do the problem justice. Due to the way camera lenses work it looks less severe in photos.

Our OnStar Control Module on our 2025 Equinox started having connectivity issues. It failed to access apps and showed our location 100 miles from where we actually were, and drains the battery. We could not access OnStar to correct the issue. It continued to go off and on, until it completely failed. Researching this, hundreds of 2025 Equinox owners are experiencing the same issues. It is an extreme safety hazard as affected Control modules would send emergency personnel to an incorrect location in the driver is incapacitated in an accident. The module is constantly on back order for weeks. This needs to be looked at

There is a button on the top of the steering wheel that puts the car in low gear. We have been going down the interstate twice and my husband accidentally hit the button slowing down the car immediately. This is very dangerous and could cause a rear end collision. We have reported it to Chevrolet several times, to the service department twice and the corporation also. Low gear has normally been on the gear shift with all the other gears, but for some reason, they put it on the top left side of the steering wheel. That is a very strange place to have that since the steering wheel also has buttons for cruise control, Bluetooth, stereo, etc. We think this button needs to be disengaged and put else where, but Chevrolet offered us $150 for the inconvenience. We are not concerned with convenience, but with safety. Also, the vertical buttons on the dash below the navigation screen are not visible during the day. At night, when it is dark, the light illuminate the buttons so they can be seen, but they are not visible during the day. However, you do need to be able to see the buttons. My husband used a label maker to put the names on the buttons just to prevent a wreck, but Chevrolet needs to address the issue. We have mentioned this to the service department and corporate office, but they do no seem to be concerned. We consider both items to be an issue that needs to be corrected, but no one seems to care. Hope you can help get these items addressed before something serious happens.

I drive 20+ miles each way to work every day. Much of this drive is on highways, and currently the bridge connecting Ohio and Kentucky is down to three lanes with no berm. On a windy road with low visibility and a steep hill near my home, the car completely lost power and acceleration without any warning. I wasn't able to drive it completely off the road before it came to a stop and due to the loss of power was unable to move into neutral to push it and the hazards would not work. Thank God that this didn't take place on the bridge or with my family in the car. I made the decision to exit the car while it was still on the road and find a safe area in the grass where I could call for help. When I exited the vehicle, it locked me out and the only way to get in was through the driver's side door, which would put me back on the road in traffic and at risk. The electrical failure prevented me from opening the other doors. The car's complete system failure put my safety/life at risk and could jeopardize the lives of others if it wasn't investigated. To make matters worse when the tow truck came via OnStar they weren't equipped to move a car stuck in park or drive due to the electronic gear shift so they drug it with the tires locked onto the bed. After several days of testing the electrical system, the dealership found a loose wire and informed me that it had been fixed. I picked up the car and after a mile or so, the check engine light came on. I contacted the dealership to come p

The contact owns a 2025 Chevrolet Equinox EV. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds and pushing down the turn signal lever, the lever rose back unintendedly, causing the turn signal to unintendedly disengage. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact stated that the failure was intermittent. The vehicle was taken to the dealer; however, the failure could not be duplicated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 100.

The contact owns a 2025 Chevrolet Equinox. The contact stated that while reversing, the transmission remained in drive. The contact depressed the shifter to move. The contact stated that the gear shifter was sticking. The vehicle jerked, hesitated, and then stalled. The contact stated that the doors were locking and unlocking without driver input after an update was performed, and the keys became locked inside the vehicle. The service transmission warning light was illuminated. The telematics module, GPS, and OnStar were not working as designed. The contact stated that the OnStar went into red and lost connectivity and was unable to locate the vehicle. The contact was concerned about driving the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed, and it was determined after further inspection that the battery was drained due to the telematics module draining the battery. The dealer informed the contact that parts were on back order. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and opened a case. The approximate failure mileage was 28,000.

Check engine light keeps coming on for emissions system. When I take it to Bergstrom Dealership they tell me they are not sure how to fix the problem.

The dashboard on my 2025 Chevrolet Equinox EV RS reflects strongly on the windshield, creating glare that severely reduces forward visibility in daylight. The reflection makes it difficult to see the road clearly and poses a serious safety hazard. I have taken the vehicle to the local dealers various times for this issue, and they acknowledge the problem but have not repaired it, saying they are waiting for a part. The visibility issue remains unresolved and appears to be a design defect that could affect other vehicles of the same model. It poses a serous risk of accident and injury to pedestrians.

There is EXTREME glare from the black dashboard reflecting back up onto the windshield in partly sunny to sunny conditions. The glare effectively blocks my vision and I've now had TWO (2) instances, in parking lots, where pedestrians were near my vehicle and my vision was blocked - almost causing me to hit / run over these pedestrians. I've contacted GM and the Dealer (Loyalty Chevrolet Williamsburg , VA) for over three months trying to get this resolved. They contend they've issued a "safety fix" involving a new dash mat to reduce glare, but the parts are not available / on backorder

On Th, Nov 6 ~1700, the 25 Equinox EV being driven encountered an electric drive failure and brake failure, including friction brakes. This Equinox EV is essentially still brand new with 3900 miles and no accident history. The vehicle was driven off the EB SR 528 exit ramp to Narcoossee Rd in Orlando and driven to the stop light at the WB on ramp. After the light changed and began driving, the vehicle console reported an exception with drive assist. At this time the driver attempted to slow down to take stock of the situation and the vehicle accelerated, at which time the driver took their foot off the brake pedal and attempted to identify a place to take the vehicle off the roadways. Thankfully a stoplight at McCoy Rd was green and the driver continued through that light and while attempting to brake, the vehicle accelerated instead. The driver then coasted, maneuvering the vehicle was into the Vista Palms commercial center. The vehicle, unresponsive to braking, propelled through a stop sign into the Kohl's parking lot at which time the driver began looping around the lot until the weight of the vehicle brought the motion down. While the vehicle was stopped, it rotated through warning messages indicating..forward collision, brake assist is reduced, steering assist is reduced, then finally Service Transmission Now Unable to Shift Soon. The vehicle was towed by AAA to AutoNation Chevrolet Airport in Orlando. Technicians found codes U1610 and U1639, and found K160 connecter uns

I was driving my 2025 Chevrolet Equinox EV on the highway with Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) engaged. The vehicle was also set to "One-Pedal Driving" (High regenerative braking). The vehicle in front of me slowed down abruptly. My vehicle's ACC began to slow the car, but it was not decelerating quickly enough to avoid a collision. I immediately intervened by pressing the brake pedal as hard as I could, pushing it completely to the floor. Critical Safety Failure: The vehicle's physical brakes failed to engage. Despite my foot being pressed hard to the floor, the vehicle did not slow down. It felt as though only the regenerative braking was (slowly) working and that my manual brake application had zero effect. The vehicle continued to glide forward with no significant braking power, and I was unable to stop the car in time, resulting in a collision with the rear of the vehicle ahead. Summary of Defect: The primary safety failure was the complete lack of response from the manual brake pedal. My attempt to override the vehicle's automated systems in an emergency was unsuccessful, as the brake pedal was unresponsive. Reporting History: I have already reported this incident to my auto insurance, my local Chevrolet dealership, and the Chevrolet Customer Assistance Center. A representative from Chevrolet recommended that I file this report with the NHTSA to help identify and track similar safety-critical incidents.

Unknown. The roof is separating along the groove line causing rust on my 2025 Chevy Equinox

One time (so far) the screen behind the steering wheel that shows the gear and speedometer did not turn on when we started the car. We were able to back the car out of the garage and park it in our driveway. This is a safety concern because we could have driven the car in that condition - without a working speedometer. We are worried that the screen will turn off while we are driving.

When I started my car there was a very loud vibratory sound that caused my car to shake.When I accelarted the noise quite down but it was still there. When I stopped in traffic the sound reappeared. This occured for 2 hours ths length of my commute. When I made it to my destination. I lifted the hood. Idk what i was looking for. this morning the trembling is now light but the noise was not.

Our 2025 Equinox EV was leased new in March of 2025. Unknowingly, it had a water intrusion in the front passenger floor due to a manufacturing defect that GM is aware of. This is related to TSB 25-NA-149. The water intrusion was covered up and went unnoticed for some time due to the factory GM All-Weather floor liners. Once discovered due to the musky smell in the vehicle, black mold was found after pulling up the floor liner. The vehicle was inspected by a Chevrolet dealer, who confirmed it was due to a poor body weld that has now been resealed. Replacement carpet is on backorder due to many experiencing this defect. Our safety and the safety of others is put at risk since GM is not recalling the vehicle for this defect. We have been unknowingly driving around breathing in black mold. As someone who is immunocompromised with an autoimmune disease, this is especially troubling to discover. My autoimmune disease was sucessfully managed with medication since 2017, however, shortly after leasing the vehicle in March I began to experience flare ups. I have been unable to determine why, but this discovery makes me believe it was due to the mold in the vehicle. From discussing with my doctor, mold exposure is a potential trigger of my condition.

The contact owns a 2025 Chevrolet Equinox. The contact stated that the vehicle was experiencing rough idling and sputtering at start-up. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to Auto Zone, where it was diagnosed with rough idling and fuel injector failure. The dealer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 8,000.

The contact owns a 2025 Chevrolet Equinox. The contact stated that while stopped at a traffic sign, the accelerator pedal was depressed; however, the vehicle stalled. The contact stated that there was no warning light illuminated. The contact stated that the transmission automatically shifted to park(P). The vehicle was towed to a service station and the vehicle was refilled. The contact was able to start the vehicle, and the message "Auto Shut Down" was displayed and a 5-minute countdown was started, and the vehicle turned off. The contact was able to restart the vehicle and drove to the residence. The contact had not taken the vehicle to a local dealer or independent mechanic. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 13,000.

Returning home on I-40 on Sunday, the engine just quit working. Fortunately it WAS Sunday and the traffic was light. Had there been more traffic, someone probably would have hit me from the rear. We managed to get it almost all of the way off the road before it stopped. According to the dealership that worked on it, it was the fuel supply service module, $46.09 part. The service technician said they had been having a lot of problems like this and knew what to do. All of the code were lost because to tow truck driving had to take the leads off of the battery. That was the only way he could get the car out of park in order to tow the vehicle.

When the vehicle was stopped in an intersection, the vehicle would shift from D to P by itself. The check engine lamp was subsequently lit. I would not able to shift it out of P until I restart the vehicle several times. During such incidents, I was stuck in the middle of the intersection for a few minutes, impeding traffics and endangering myself and other motorists on the road. This problem first happened on September 20, 2024. The vehicle's odometer was at 1824 miles. The dealer made a repair. This problem happened again on October 14, 2025. The odometer was at 22065 miles. The vehicle is current still in the dealership. The vehicle was normal before such incidents. There was no warning light or any other noticeable anomaly before such incidents.

This car is equipped with a telematics module that feeds information to navigation system, Blue Cruise hands-off driving, and provides speed limit information in a heads-up display based on map data. The same module also controls connectivity to On-Star, a safety monitoring service. There appears to be a bug in the software whereby the module doesn't appropriately initialized properly. This has several effects. The OnStar system ceases to function (and the attendant feature of calling emergency services in a collision). The bug also causes false GPS coordinate data to be fed to the car; since the reporting of the speed limit and other alerts are based on this data, along with the Blue Cruise hands-off driving, the driver is presented with false information about the speed limit on the current road (instead using data about the road at the false GPS coordinates). If using guidance, the guidance presents the driver with false and confusing directions (which change frequently as the system believes the driver is in a different place). This bug has happened about 6 times in the past 6 months. There's no mechanism to reset the unit other than disconnecting the battery or fuse. The attached file shows a typical event. The guidance clearly shows the car in the middle of the Charles River in Boston, and the navigation system is instructing the driver to get on Memorial Drive. The HUD (not shown) indicates that the current speed limit is 20 MPH. This picture was taken while on Interst

On 10/9/2025 I pulled out of my driveway and less than 300 feet from my house I struck a deer. Weather was approx 50 degree and clear. There was no dew on my windows as I park my car in the garage. There was approximately $6200 worth of damage done to my vehicle and what concerned me the most was, the car never engaged the emergency stop. I mentioned this to the insurance company and they really had nothing to say. I have had bicyclists get too close to me on the road and my vehicle engaged the emergency stop. After repairs were done on the vehicle, they had a third party come in to do a calibration of all the sensors. He could not perform the calibration due to #PIT6274: Error Message Referring to Vision Camera system with DTC B1C48 - (Nov 4, 2024). I just dropped my vehicle off at the dealer and mentioned this to them and they are claiming there is nothing they can do about it. I started looking around online and have seen several other people complain about this and I knew it affected my Adaptive Cruise Control as I have gotten this error a couple times before and I just thought my window was dirty. What I did not know is this also affected my emergency stop as it does not tell me that in the warning. If this is a known issue, this is a serious safety concern and to have the dealer tell me there is nothing they can do is not acceptable. If the camera was functioning properly that morning, there is a good chance that I would not have gotten into an accident.

Visibility under certain conditions is very poor. Reflection on the windshield from the dash creates unsafe driving conditions. It is especially bad when driving into a dark area like a parking garage or car wash. Almost impossible to see other vehicles or people. Polarized, sunglasses, eliminates or reduces the reflection but they are not always within reach. This is not an isolated incident. It is a constant problem with the vehicle design.

When driving in sunny conditions, there is an intense glare reflecting from the interior trim- specifically the "chrome" trim on the middle console. The reflection is so bright that it becomes blinding at times, making it difficult to see the road clearly and creating a serious safety hazard. This issue occurs consistently whenever sunlight enters the cabin and reflects off the trim's surface. It is extremely distracting and has the potential to cause temporary vision impairment when driving.

When there is dew, condensation, or rain on the windshield, the Front End Collision Warning system becomes inactive and displays the message: "Front End Collision System Inactive-Clean Windshield." This happens frequently, even with light moisture, and the warning system remains disabled until the windshield dries completely. Given that wet or low-visibility conditions are precisely when collision avoidance features are most critical, this failure creates a serious safety risk. I have verified that the windshield is clean and that three are no obstructions on the camera or sensors. Despite this, the system consistently deactivates whenever moisture is present. This issue appears to be a design or sensor calibration problem, not a maintenance issue.

When using the factory-installed wireless charging pad, my phone becomes extremely hot within minutes of charging. The heat builds quickly, to the point that the phone must be removed immediately to prevent potential damages or safety risks. This has happened consistently, and I have not removed the phone case because I should not have to- the charging pad is designed and advertised to work safely under normal use conditions, which includes phones in standard protective cases. Regardless, the level of heat generated is excessive and concerning. This issue raises serious safety and design concerns, including the potential for battery damage, device malfunction, or even fire risk.

My vehicle has been at the dealership for over a month for an issue with the HVAC system. The technician and GM engineering support believe the problem is related to a faulty acuator, which requires the entire dash to be removed for repair. (See pictures) This is extremely concerning for a new vehicle with very low mileage. An HVAC acuator failure in a brand new car should not occur, and the repair is invasive- involving disassembly of the major interior components. I am worried this will lead to creaks, rattles, or compromised fit and finish afterward, as well as potential damage to electronics, airbags, and trim panels. In addition, this problem appears to be widespread among other 2025 Equinox owners, based on multiple reports in owner forums describing identical HVAC noise or clicking problems linked to acuators. GM has not yet issued a recall or service bulletin addressing it. Given the scope of disassembly required and the frequency of similar reports, this should be reviewed as potential design or component defect affecting vehicle reliability and safety systems (defrosting performance and interior air management).

Telematics module failure. Causes GPS to provide erroneous navigation prior to complete failure. Started as 1/2 mile, then grew to over 30 mile deviation from actual location. The module also takes out several safety and monitoring systems monitored by OnStar. All in-car communications are lost, which means driver has to revert to using a cell phone directly for basic functions proved through infotainment system.

Electrically, the time will not stay set at the correct time.Nor will the date. Other issue is there will be a loud roaring sound when driving. This happens frequently, there are no codes that pop up. No, one is sure what the loud roaring is.

The contact owns a 2025 Chevrolet Equinox. While the contact's wife was driving at an undisclosed speed, there was an abnormally loud sound coming from the vehicle, and the front sunroof panel fractured. The contact's wife had described the loud sound as like a loud gunshot. The contact stated that the sunroof glass had fractured without impact to the sunroof. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where the contact was informed that the sunroof needed to be replaced. The vehicle was in the process of being repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but provided no assistance. The contact was advised to contact the NHTSA Hotline to report the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 13,500.

When driving with the sun in front of me, the reflections from the front dash on the windshield makes visibility very poor.

OnStar telematics unit stopped working with no notification in the infotainment system. The LED light remained GREEN in color advising me that the OnStar system was working. Hundreds of people reporting the same issue across multiple GM vehicles. My vehicle has been at the dealership for almost two weeks and there is no ETA on when the replacement part will be received from GM. This is a known problem component that should have initiated a safety recall. Due to the non operation of the OnStar system, we no longer have access to the emergency notification if involved a traffic collision. We also no longer have access to the stolen vehicle tracking system. NHTSA needs to investigate this issue, especially since GM is taking their time with getting replacement parts to dealerships.

My vehicle seemed to accelerate when pulling into a parking spot at my work. It then launched over the curb sending me rolling down the hillside several feet. I required extraction and the car is now totaled. I am available to explain more and share pictures at your convince.

The contact owns a 2025 Chevrolet Equinox. The contact stated that while driving approximately 65 MPH, the vehicle stalled unexpectedly. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact stated that the accelerator pedal was depressed and traveled to the floorboard. The vehicle was able to be restarted. The vehicle was taken to a dealer, but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 6,500.

My windshield has had distortion since I bought it (11/27/2024) and I finally took it to the dealership to get it replaced (09/30/2025). After replacing it they notify me that the new windshield also came with distortion and that unfortunately there is nothing they can do until GM (General Motors) puts something out about it. They said they compared it to the other vehicles and they're all like that but it's not as "bad" as it use to be. The fact that there is no fix and I just have to deal with a brand-new car that causes headaches from how much I have to focus my eyes to be able to see is ridiculous. I don't understand how they're just ok with letting all their customers drive with glares in their windshields and all they can say is "well there's nothing we can do" it's completely unsafe.

Over-torqued lugs, broken wheel studs, safety issue

The vehicle had a fault in its GPS and it also had no communication with emergency assistance. This also caused battery problems that generated on two occasions that the vehicle did not start

The contact owns a 2025 Chevrolet Equinox. The contact stated that during a heatwave, the vehicle was parked, and the contact became aware of a "S" shape crack starting from the driver’s side upper windshield. The contact observed multiple reports with other consumers with identical cracks. The vehicle was repaired by a mobile technician. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and a complaint was filed. The contact stated that while looking out of the passenger’s side windshield, the view was distorted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was 21,000.

Vehicle was being parked in garage when it accelerated in reverse, on it's own, very quickly. Fortunately I was able to avoid colliding with any thing behind me by braking in time. I then shifted into drive when vehicle accelerated forward, on it's own again, very quickly. I was not able to brake before vehicle crashed into concrete garage wall, severely damaging front end. Vehicle is still under warranty, and I intend to have dealership haul it in for repairs. I have found other drivers complain on the Internet of experiencing the exact same issue as I described above. This model, Chevrolet, Equinox, 2025 is not safe to drive!

Odometer Fraud. The contact purchased a 2025 Chevrolet Equinox. The contact stated that the vehicle was purchased at 66 miles. The contact stated that while driving the vehicle and approaching 100 miles; the odometer rolled over to 1,000 miles. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer where the vehicle was inspected and the contact was informed that based on the oil life, the vehicle had been driven over 1,000 miles. The vehicle was taken to several other dealers who came to the same conclusion. The vehicle was a dealer sale. At the time of purchase, the vehicle mileage was 66; it was later discovered that the mileage was over 1,000.

Vehicle rolls back very often when in drive. Even holding down the brake at a hill then hitting the accelerator it still rolls back. When in cruise control and I take over it also tends to make the vehicle jump when the vehicle takes back over. Overall harsh riding. Feels like it’s all coming from that CVT. Dealer says that it may be an issue but can’t replicate it unless it stays there with them for a while until they can replicate the issue. There have been incidents where I’ve almost rolled back and hit other vehicles due to this cause. The vehicle has not been inspected by anyone. No warning lamps or anything on the vehicle

The contact owns a 2025 Chevrolet Equinox. The contact stated that while depressing the brake pedal, the engine revved to a higher RPM unexpectedly. The contact stated that the failure had occurred on several occasions, and the brake pedal needed to be depressed very hard while attempting to stop the vehicle.

2025 Chevy Equinox - beginning of July, i got back to my car at the airport and it would not turn on. nothing happened and i had to call onstar with my cell phone. a tow truck was sent and my 2025 Equinox (which i bought end of Oct 2024) with only 8000 miles, was towed to Chevy dealership. the next day the dealership said it was a faulty battery and they replaced it. i went to pick up my car and then a couple weeks later i tried to autostart my car and it did not respond. I called Onstar from my phone to talk with them and then they asked me to go to my car and push the button. it was green however it was not responding. i was told to take it into the dealership and tell them i am having an onstar issue and it wasn't responding. I took my car 3 weeks ago (Aug 11th) sat for 4 hours waiting on my car only to be told that they were not able to fix it. that my entire onstar system needs to be replaced. they said they ordered it but that it was back ordered and do not know when it will be in. and to call in 2 weeks to see if there were any changes. i called 3 weeks later and still they had nothing new to tell me except that they don't know anything. from reading online i see that this onstar module issue had contributed to other issues with the car. i knew that there was an issue that triggered the battery to completely die. and with all the other people that have said they have had issues , it is very apparent that this caused my battery to die. Now i am still paying for onstar b

Bought vehicle in October 2024. About 5 hours after we purchased vehicle the check engine light came on, dealership did reset and everything checked out to be safe and sent us on our way. Fast forward to January (do not remember date) check engine light came on again, this time took it to auto zone to hook the car up to the scanner, it did give an error code of P04FB which is a crankcase ventilation sensor. From auto zone we did take it back to the dealership and the had the same code as auto zone. Dealer ship did reset and acknowledged that Chevy was “working on it” but no fix is available. Everything seemed to be ok until 6/5/2025 and the another time in June when the check engine light came back on and again the dealership reset it. Since June we have had the vehicle into the dealership once a month, July (not sure of date) and 3 times in August 8/26 8/27 & 8/29. The check engine light came back on and now we have to take it back to the dealership 9/2/2025. This is super frustrating and an inconvenience to have to take a brand new vehicle to the dealership every day. We have had the vehicle into the dealership a total of 8 times so far with a 9th visit on 9/2/2025 for the SAME issue when will chevy get this figured out?

They have the gear shift stick near the wheel like older models. you have to brake to move the gear shift and push a button in on the gear shift to park. However, when driving you can move the gear shift, which I have done accidentally. The gear shift does not lock while driving. Twice the gear switched to L2, which I do not know what that is but it causes my engine to over work. This is dangerous especially trying to switch the gear back to D when at a speed of over 50mph.

I leased this vehicle brand new. At around 500 miles, the vehicle had occasionally a humming noice, at 1900 miles the humming noice is loud with vibration. My suspicion is a structural defect, my fear is to end up with half a vehicle on one lane, the other half in the other lane at the expressway. I have recorded several of the occurrences, provided a GM dealership with the recordings, contacted GM Executive offices, and have not been able to resolve or advance, meanwhile my household is without a vehicle. Neither GM nor the dealership is willing to provide a courtesy vehicle. The dealership was unable to duplicate my complaint, GM executive office agent recommended me to take the vehicle to a different dealership for a "second opinion". This is depriving me of work, transportation and giving me additional work.
