2025 Chevrolet Equinox Recalls, Issues & Maintenance

“The dealer confirmed that the OnStar/telematics module is malfunctioning and continuously draining the battery. The defective module is on backorder with no estimated arrival date, leaving the vehicle unusable”

“Telematic module diagnosed to fail by the dealer service department. Replacement part is not available after 3 months, and not ETA from GM parts department”

“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”

“The contact stated that while driving at 70 MPH, the vehicle unexpectedly decelerated to 10 MPH with no warning lights illuminated”

“The vehicle lost acceleration/propulsion while traveling at highway speed on a major bridge with limited safe shoulder space. The vehicle suddenly stopped providing power needed to maintain speed in fast-moving traffic”

“While driving my Equinoix EV I lost propulsion and the dashboard started flashing. I could coast to curb lane. When fully stopped I turned the car off and on again and propulsion resumed”

“The angle of the windshield reflects the dashboard so much that you can't see out the windshield when heading anywhere towards the sun. It also reflects the dash at night inside the car”

“There is EXTREME glare from the black dashboard reflecting back up onto the windshield in partly sunny to sunny conditions”

“The front windshield reflects the dash below making it difficult to see out the windshield. Visibility is extremely important while driving”

“I purchased my 2025 chevy equinox in January of 25. In March I noticed some distortion on the passenger side of my window while making a right turn. I have had the windshield replaced twice by chevy/gm. Both replacements have the same issue”

“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)”

“The windshield has a defect on the right hand side. It seems like blurry waves. I noticed it because I got nervous thinking that there were cars riding next to me very close but it is just a glare from the defect”

“This is a 2025 vehicle with 25,000 miles and the Check Engine Soon light stays illuminated due to a faulty PCV Valve or possibly a poorly designed crankcase. The engine code is P04FB and is commonly found as an issue when you do a search”

“wiring harness on PCV Valve causes check engine light to come on as soon as it rains or gets wet. Dealer has tried multiple times to fix issue to no avail. The parts are on national back order and they can not get them”

“The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed, and contact was provided DTC: P04FB (Crankcase Ventilation Systems Pressure Sensor Issue)”

“While driving my 2025 Chevrolet Equinox, both the digital instrument cluster and infotainment screen suddenly turned off without warning. This blackout lasted for several seconds before both systems rebooted and returned to normal”

“On four occasions while operating the vehicle down the roadway the dash screen and infotainment / vehicle information displays all have went dark off and reset causing disruption to vital information”

“The illuminated dashboard, center control console, and headlights suddenly turned off while the vehicle was in motion during a dark night. The blackout lasted approximately 10 seconds and I was unable to see to keep the vehicle on the roadway”

“I was driving my car and a "service high voltage battery" message appeared on the screen and a message to reduce charging the car to 68%. The message coincided with the car having no cabin heat and no ability to defrost the windshield”

“The contact stated that the high-voltage system message was displayed. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, where an unknown diagnostic test and repair were performed on the computer, but the failure recurred”

“For the second time the service high voltage system warning has came on first time it was updated the dealership said now it’s back on again A/C not working properly”

“On 3 separate occasions now, my vehicle has slammed on the brakes abruptly when there were no other cars around me in close proximity. The sensors vibrated the driver seat each time right before slamming brakes on, even though no other cars were even close to me”

“While pulling into a parking spot of a business and approximately 6 feet from the curb, the automatic emergency brake engaged forcing my whole body forward, slamming my head on the visor/roof of the car very forcefully/painfully”

“The Equinox is detecting objects in the rear camera that are not there and automatically applying the automatic emergency breaking. This is causing the car to completely stop and has now caused me to injury my back due to the force of the stop”
