getting vibration and loud noise at 35 to 40 mph since taking delivery. have contacted dealership and they are waiting for gm to respond. i have seen similar complaints about drive line and drive axle complaints for earlier model year chevrolet equinox.
The infotainment/radio display goes blank or only shows random lines. This problem continues to happen several times per week. When this occurs, the back up camera does not work which I believe violates fmvss 208. The vehicle has been taken to the dealership twice and the issue has not been fixed. The first visit they replaced the radio/radio display and that did nothing to help the problem. The second trip to the dealership in October 2022 resulted in them stating the problem could be a usb cable and placed it on order and we are still waiting for the part, which was supposedly on back order.
fuel pump quit on 12/24/23. dealer had vehicle four months while gm designed new pump. notified vehicle was ready but later same day was notified the catalytic converter was bad - one ordered. another week. picked up vehicle mid april 24 and drove about three miles and warning light came on. returned to dealer, mechanic made adjustments and said all fixed. been dealing w/gm for buy back or higher trade in. battle all the way. bought as tow vehicle with rv. about to leave on 2 to 3,000 mile trip. do not trust equinox and want to return/trade for another equinox or blazer. have also looked at ford products. btw i was in the inside lane of a busy four lane highway when this happened and speed reduced to about 5 miles per hour. people love their horns when you try to get in outside lane in heavy traffic.
there is an extreme glare in the windshield coming from the dashboard in normal daylight conditions. while a minor glare or in occasion is common, this glare is constant, excessive and reduces road visibility inhibiting operators field of vision. this will cause operating errors and accidents and should be addressed.
Power steering failure.

When starting the vechile most times the radio will turn on at 75% its max volume. On occassion this will keep the backup camera on and lose all ability to control the infotainment center on the vechile. I also turn my raidio off before I exit the vechile. This occurs when bluetooth connected phone is in car and not in the car. The only fix that has been told to me via the service department is to turn off the vechile and open the drivers door. Cheverlot knows about this issues, which affects more than the 21 Equinox, they have not made any effort to correct the issues.
I was hit by a Chevrolet avalanche on my driver side door and front/side of my vehicle. The speed limit was 60 and the roads were icy and snowy. I was driving approximately 35mph and the other vehicle must have been going at least 55-60mph. The police report stated the other vehicle was driving too fast for road conditions. My side airbag didn't deploy and I suffered a concussion and have additional injuries due to the impact. Due to the nature of the accident and location of the impact I feel my airbag should have deployed. So far the estimate on my vehicle damages is anywhere from 10-15k.
