Owner report 11619930 · 2024-10-15 (October 15, 2024)
The contact owns a 2024 Chevrolet Equinox EV. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed with no other vehicles or objects around, the forward warning collision system was activated. As a result, the automatic emergency braking system applied the brakes, bringing the vehicle to a complete stop in the middle of the roadway. After restarting the vehicle, the vehicle returned to normal functionality, but the failure became a regular occurrence. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer or an ind…

Owner report 11623940 · 2024-11-07 (November 7, 2024)
I had previously activated ACC to use on the highway with the speed set at 65mph. After getting off and driving into a parking lot I accidentally bumped the resume toggle on the steering wheel and the car started to accelerate requiring me to intervene.

If the vehicle is moving more than 5 km/h (3 mph), it returns to the previous set speed." 3 mph ac…

Owner report 11631997 · 2024-12-22 (December 22, 2024)
I bought a new Chevy Equinox EV on 12/13/24. The day I bought the car, I found that while driving home on interstates and other roads listed by GM as mapped for Supercruise, the system will work for a few minutes, then cut out. There is no warning in advance of this shutdown. When all this happens the car immediately brakes in the middle of traffic and loses steering control, red lights go off, and the driver must quickly assume control to prevent a crash. After it happens, the car pops up a message that the ACC is also unavailable. Then anothe…

- Vehicle showed error message for high voltage battery on 1/3/2025 at less than 5,000 miles. Vehicle was able to drive unrestricted (full speed and acceleration). Vehicle was able to fast charge even though the vehicle was coding for high voltage battery issue.

I did not feel comfortable driving around with a high voltage battery warning and took it to the dealership. Dealership tried to make me drive off lot with it…
