The dominant complaint pattern for the 2024 Chevrolet Equinox centers on visibility and wipers, which account by far the largest share of owner reports, followed by forward collision avoidance. On the visibility side, owners frequently report wiper malfunctions and obstructed or impaired visibility in various driving conditions. Forward collision avoidance draws a substantial number of complaints, with owners describing the system braking suddenly and aggressively without an apparent obstacle present, including at highway speeds and during low-speed maneuvering. Electrical system complaints round out the top reported categories, with owners describing no-start conditions and other power-related failures. A recurring theme in the forward collision avoidance reports is unexpected intervention that owners say occurs in clear conditions, with no traffic or obstruction ahead.

By System
The 2024 Chevrolet Equinox has two recalls, the more serious being door strikers that can fracture and allow a door to swing open while driving, raising the risk of a crash or injury.
The second recall affects only Equinox EV models: the pedestrian alert sound system may not increase in volume as the vehicle accelerates from a stop at low speeds, making it harder for pedestrians to hear the car approaching.
