Is this a known problem?
The manufacturer has sent NHTSA 1 service bulletin or notice for the 2025 Chevrolet Equinox EV that deal with this problem. Newest first.
Federal rules make a manufacturer send NHTSA a copy of any notice about a defect that goes to more than one dealer or owner. Most of these are service bulletins, the repair instructions manufacturers send to dealers. NHTSA generally leaves safety recall bulletins out of this file, and recalls are listed separately.
This service bulletin provides service procedures to correct Windshield Wiper Arm Clearing and Interference Concerns.
What owners wrote
“A significant issue related to the windshield glare. When sunlight reflects off the ribbed surface of the dashboard, it creates an intrusive and potentially hazardous glare during daytime driving, especially in Southern California.”

“Windshield wiper stops too far from the edge, a 4+ inch gap from the A-pillar (which is already wide). With snow or heavy rain showers the blind spots on the driver side are quite large. Visibility from the bottom of the A-pillar is particularly bad to begin with and made worse with the wiper gap.”

“The dashboard design creates glare on the windshield in certain conditions. I'm most affected at night, but it happens during the day as well.”
Filed Jan 27, 2025
“There is a very bad glare from the dashboard to the windshield during the day. Itâs very distracting and also makes it hard to see through the windshield.”

Should you keep driving it?
This page can't tell you that. 0 of 71 reports involved a crash. Owners who file are the ones who had a bad experience, and nobody checks their reports. If the problem affects steering, braking, power or a fire risk, treat it as a safety fault and have it inspected before a long or high-speed drive.
File your own report with NHTSA. Complaint counts are how a problem gets an investigation. How reports land on this sheet.
