problem #47

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)

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.

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 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.

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

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

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.
