After activating the turn signal fully, it will often spring past the neutral/off setting and straight into signaling the opposite direction. Occasionally this is with enough force that the signal will stay on, but it is usually only with force sufficient to tap the other signal and register only 2-3 blinks before stopping. This is a safety issue because it looks like erratic signaling behavior to those outside of the vehicle. When travelling on busy highways at speeds exceeding 60mph erratic signaling of this kind can confuse other drivers and lead to collisions. It can make other drivers think you are driving erratically (like changing lanes only to double back into the lane you came from) or to try to pass you rapidly just to escape a driver that is signaling strangely. This has been confirmed on many Equinox EVs, both '24 and '25 model years. This does not trigger any sort of errors, warnings, chimes or alerts. It simply excessively triggers the turn signals outside of when you would want them actuated. The fix is just to tweak the turn signal resistance to be more like other vehicles. This likely requires a recall to replace the part with a new part that does not yet exist.

The dashboard glare is excessively high, making it difficult to drive during the daytime. The same issue occurs with the rear windshield. This could be a design flaw, or Chevrolet may have used substandard dashboard materials or low-quality windshield glass.

When taking a right turn and letting the steering wheel return the signal stalk to the center the left turn signal will flash 3 times as if a 'soft turn' was requested.

when a right turn signal cancels, it often times (20-50%) will cause the left turn signal to activate 2 or 3 times. Very confusing to people in front of you thinking that you will be turning and they pull out in front of you.

The glare off the dashboard onto the windshield in sunny conditions is truly ungood. It is well documented, with a variety of after-market solutions, including some that are unsafe and/or illegal in certain jurisdictions: [XXX] Please insist that GM fix this problem. Lack of Apple CarPlay is also a safety issue when my kids borrow my car (seems silly to older folks, but younger drivers really depend on it).

The turn signal going in either direction has 2 positions. The first is regular on that keeps the turn signal on until it is turned off or until steering wheel is turned off. The other position is the -??flick-?? that flashes the signal 3 times and turns it off on its own. When I set my turn signal to the regular on position to turn right, after I complete my turn the signal turns itself off and goes into the default off position. However when returning itself into the off position, it ends up going into the -??flick-?? position for left turn. The signal then flashes left 3 times and turns off. So to summarize, after turning right while using the turn signal, it flicks itself into the left turn position. This is distracting to me while driving and may confuse other drivers as well. I took it into the dealer for this issue and they said they could not replicate it. No warning lights or anything like that. I have video proof of this happening

On sunny days the reflective glare off of the dashboard is incredibly unsafe. At times you have serious issues seeing through the reflections to actually see what is on the road ahead of you. Polarized sunglasses do help reduce this glare, but not eliminate it. Sunglasses are also not always available to people driving the vehicle for various reasons. It has been confirmed by many independent drivers and GM is also aware if the issue.
