Glare from the sun on the dash causes blindness and unable to safely see out of the windshield. It's a safety hazard to operate and unsafe for anyone else on he road when the sun hits it. Test drove and bought the car on a cloudy day and the first time the sun hit my dash I nearly rear ended the car in front of me. Emergency braking system activated to avoid a collision due to me not being able to see the brake lights in front of me even though I was wearing sunglasses
2024 Chevrolet Equinox EV visibility complaints
Page 2 of 3: complaints 11 to 40 of 60, newest first, as owners wrote them.
It is difficult to see out of the windshield when the sun in shining. The material the dash is made of makes an awful reflection on the windshield.
When driving in a direction that is nearly aligned with the sun, the reflection off the dashboard presents a hologram-like image onto the windshield which obstructs the drivers view. It looks like it’s caused by the textured pattern of the dashboard. My wife typically drives the car, and we’re just coming out of overcast days so this is the first time I’ve really noticed how bad it is.
Glare on the windshield from the dash is a major problem in this vehicle. Upon searching for remedies, I've found dozens upon dozens (probably well over 100) of unique posts, videos and comments all regarding this issue. I just purchased this vehicle two days ago and I turned south on to a busy street earlier today and I could barely see and had to immediately pull off to a side street and find a way to cover the dash (I used my hoodie) to get home. This is dangerous. A guy even makes a mat for this problem: [XXX] But in my opinion, GM needs to fix this in a recall. A child could run out in one of these major blind spots and I'd never see them until it's too late. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
When sun hits dashboard causing a glare from material of dashboard to make visibility an issue.
My Chevrolet Equinox EV 2RS has glare on the front windshield due to design grille on the area below front windshield. So there is extreme glare depending on the direction of sunlight hitting that area. So I strongly feel this is a security issue for all drivers on the road and GM should alleviate this with a solution. Please advise.
Highly reflective interior glass makes using the side mirrors impossible in common sunny conditions. Unable to see cars and blind spot monitoring light. Incident occurred where I merged into car after straining to use mirror to ensure area was clear. Also, reflection from interior in certina condition make forward visibility dangerous.
There is a terrible reflection from the dashboard onto the windshield that under certain conditions, ie: bright sunlight, it really interferes with visibility, making driving rather dangerous. I've read of many complaints about this same problem.
The angle and possibly the material of the windshield catches a glare/reflection of the dash that heavily affects visibility for the driver. When there is a bright light shining on the dash it is almost impossible to see past the glare. This can be a real hazard as this obstructs the drivers view of the road.
There is excessive reflection from the dashboard onto the windshield in bright and sunny conditions, making it extremely unsafe and nearly impossible to see. THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW! SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET INJURED OR KILLED IF NOT ADDRESSED!
When it is sunny, there is so much glare from the dashboard on the windshield that it's dangerous to drive and is not safe at all. The reflection blinds out the driver and there is no visibility
There is a severe glare on the windshield caused by the dashboard. It make it very hard to see. I happens even at night but is most pronounced when the sun is at a lower angle.
in day time with sunshine , the dash is too much shine making glare backup on windshield , blocked my view 50%, I can not see well for driving , this is safety issue for driver. please help us to recall to GM to fix it. Thank you very much
There is a severe glare that reflects off of the dash board component. It reduces visibility greatly, and sometimes makes it hard to drive. Other individuals with this car (on forums such as Reddit) have the same issue with this glare.
The dashboard reflects onto the windshield especially when it is sunny and makes it difficult to see through the windshield. The "texture" of the dashboard reflects sunlight into the windshield. We placed a black, non-reflective, cloth on the dashboard to alleviate this situation but this is not a permanent fix.
There’s a glare of dashboard on the windshield and it makes difficult to drive in sun. The glare is so bad that obsructs the visibility of the oncoming vehicles
Dashboard glare issue, love the car but this is bad.
I believe that the problem with the car is that there is an excessive amount of dashboard glare on the windshield because of the design of the dashboard
Dashboard glare on sunny days makes it difficult to see a head of you.
There is a terrible glare on the window from the dashboard that makes it harder to see the road. The automatic lane change for SuperCruise is overly sensitive and has made me miss exits before by changing lanes unnecessarily. When in single pedal driving mode it will brake unnecessarily while in cruise control
Windshield glares so much that it obstruct view ahead sometimes.
I nearly drove through a red light because the glare from the dashboard was so bad. Dash has multiple vent lines in it and is in a very shiny black. Driving in sunlight knocks out nearly 50% of the visibility in the windshield. If I do not wear polarized sunglasses, it is very difficult to see. I have not had the problem confirmed. No one has inspected it. It is a design flaw that needs to be addressed because visibility is very badly impaired.
Bright sunlight and direct sunlight can cause the dashboard to reflect off the inside of the windshield, severely reducing visibility of the rodea.
Front Dashboard is made out of very glossy plastic and it causes very severe glare at almost any hour of the day or even at nights whenever passing by a street lights. Amount of glare is so severe that driving at sunrise or sunset is almost impossible without a polarizing glass. Visibility is severely affected due to the material choice.
UNKNOWN The dashboard creates a glare on the windshield during sunny days that is almost impossible to see through.
There is excessive reflection on the windshield, especially at mid morning and mid afternoon times on sunny day. This reflection is enough that visibility is limited. I have experienced instances where vehicles pulling onto the roadway were hidden from my view by this reflection.
Sunlight reflection off the dashboard is mirrored on the windshield, badly obscuring visibility.
The dashboard glare is extremely dangerous. I can’t see people walking when I’m driving because the glare is so intense because of the dashboard.
There is a glare on the windshield from the dash. When it’s daylight, it’s difficult to see the road because the glare from the dash is so bad.
Dashboard glare when sunny. Makes it extremely difficult to look at what is in front of the vehicle. Wearing sunglasses helps but it is still a major safety concern that sunglasses are required every time I drive to just be able to look out the front windshield! Over time there will be many accidents due to the glare reducing visibility.
