The dashboard lines are quite visible and distracting in the bright sun. It is very difficult to see clearly with sun glare. I feel that this design is dangerous and purely aesthetic. It should be removed.

The car's dashboard has a patterned design (stripes or bars) which casts an extremely distracting glare onto the windshield. It is noticeable in all conditions, but in sunny conditions I have especially noticed this interferes with my ability to see the road and/or pedestrians. I had one incident where I was turning off a road and into a parking lot and nearly missed a pedestrian on the sidewalk because of this (in sunny weather). This is a well-known issue among Chevy Equinox EV owners, starting with the original 2024 model and continuing with the 2025 model. It is so much of an issue that third-party companies have started selling mats that sit on the dashboard to reduce the striped glare.

Design of the dashboard creates a glare on the windshield that makes it extremely difficult to see in bright sunlight. This leads to very dangerous driving conditions.
