2025 Chevrolet Equinox steering complaints

Filed May 14, 2025 · Steering · MI

The steering wheel seizes at highway speeds after driving for an extended period (2+ hours.) The steering seems to lock into a position so while approaching a curve you're unable to steer toward the center of the lane, requiring you to jerk the steering wheel towards the center of the lane to prevent going out of the lane. This issue was reported and taken to multiple GM dealerships to address and they keep insisting it's Lane keep assist, it is not as this issue happens when it's turned of, further more lane keep assist usually nudges a vehicle back in lane or vibrates to warn you're drifting out of a lane. It does not actively try to pull you out of a lane as We've experienced with this car. This is a deadly hazard that may cause an inattentive drive to over steer into an accident, and because of it's intermittent nature, It will be surprising and scary causing less experienced drivers to overreact to it. I'm afraid this may be a latent safety fault within the 2025 Chevy Equinox, that will eventually cost lives, and worst part, this cause may not be detected for a long time.. I hope more instances of this gets reported to force GM and it's dealerships to spend the proper effort to hunt down this safety issue and address it before it's too late

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)
