2025 Chevrolet Equinox

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 but not able to use it. i am obviously paying my payment on my car without being able to use all functions of the car. I am at a total loss on what to do next.

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.

Two major complaints this Vechile #1 The current std operating control features are a flat out Safety Issue NO-ONE has taken into account the display of to name a few such as Fan-Speed Hi/Low, AC On/Off ,Heated Seat adjustment you cannot View while driving during daytime hours or late afternoon 1-2 hrs before dark But you can view 100% only when the Sun is directly behind you ( THEY DO NOT LITE UP UNTIL ITS NIGHT TIME & ONLY AT NIGHT) You might be laughing well zip it up ( WHY IT FORCES THE DRIVER TO TAKE THEIR EYES OFF THE ROAD) it’s not funny Gone is Std button or knob you can reach and adj .Trying do certain adjustments I find myself wandering off the highway onto Rumble strips searching for control of certain p.b. #2 This car while Traveling on [XXX] threw PA into Ohio with only 500+ miles we come up on quick stop Traffic back up ( TRYING TO QUICKLY TURN ON THE HAZARD WARNING SW —-NOT FOUND )2-days latter still have not found I should not have to be searching the I/Net or reading some now small portion of a new idea shortened version of a operators manual Basic functions we all should be able to Operate any Brand Vehicle Not this Car this [XXX] design Control Panel is a Ralph Nader example of how to Distract every driver behind the wheel. Also a lot of overall reviews many give this car great reviews But No One Takes Ease of Std Operator Functions into Account of any Safety Factor and I don’t trust you or any Government Agency will be telling GM this design of Std Control access eventually will cause many accidents . Oh yes everyone makes a big deal about one talking on a cell phone that is an Ticket in waiting pales as a Joke to just plain driving this Vehicle ( IT IS A VERY DISTRACTING NIGHTMARE ) thanks [XXX] Camden NY Cell [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
