ANALYSISHow safe is the 2024 Chevrolet Equinox?

One recall affects the vehicle, addressing potential door striker fracture, a structural concern also identified in other 2024 GM models. The 63 unverified owner complaints are spread across several systems; the Fuel and Propulsion System, Service Brakes, and Electrical System are cited most frequently. Notably, the complaint file includes 4 alleged crashes and 5 alleged injuries, though these reports remain unconfirmed.
