NHTSA Complaint #11683138 — 2025 CHEVROLET EQUINOX EV

I purchased this vehicle new. Within weeks started having issues with the OnStar system. Obviously with the module not working, other things began happening. I can't see status of charge. I can't find charging stations when driving. My hands free doesn't work because google is always off line. Can't use OnStar system because it doesn't work. Came out one morning to find my vehicle unlocked and all the windows down. I live in Florida, have never once used the defrost system or set the vehicle temperature above 72. Turned the car on one day and the defrosters magically turned on and the temperature went up to 76 full blast. The the forward braking system started slamming the brakes when I was already stopping. One day it slammed us so hard that my grandchildren screamed because their car seat belts cut into their shoulders. Contacted OnStar numerous times. Contacted dealerships numerous times. After weeks and weeks, I finally have a dealer willing to look at it. I have been provided one fault code by OnStar. There are so many people with issues and research shows the module is and has been on back order for months and months. Vehicle also makes noises like it is trying to lock or unlock whenever I open a door. There were no warnings for any of it. Just began. Safety is at risk because vehicle malfunctions. OnStar confirmed there is an error. Going to dealer finally this week. No warning lamps and issues got bad enough for concern approximately one month ago but were noticed within weeks of purchasing vehicle which was purchased [XXX].
