Factory maintenance schedule OEM · verified

Normal service, condensed from the factory interval matrix.

Under the factory schedule, replace the coolant at 150,000 mi. The big-interval services (at 150,000 mi for coolant, and the transmission fluid) are the ones owners most often skip — on a lower-mileage example, assume the original fluids are still in it and check them first.

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

The 2025 Chevrolet Equinox EV shows a notable uptick in federal complaints (161) and recalls (6) compared to its 2024 predecessor (107 complaints, 1 recall), suggesting early-production challenges typical of a first-year EV redesign. While recalls increased sharply in 2025, the 2026 data hints at stabilization, with complaints dropping to just 7 and recalls halving to 3—indicating GM likely addressed many issues mid-cycle. The 2025’s top complaint areas (visibility/wiper systems at 72 reports and forward collision avoidance at 20) dominate, though crash-related complaints remain low (4) and fire complaints are absent. This places the 2025 in the expected "shakeout phase" of a new generation, where early adopters absorb the bulk of unresolved quirks. The data doesn’t specify root causes, but the concentration of wiper/visibility issues suggests potential supplier or assembly refinements rather than systemic design flaws. **Takeaway:** While the 2025 isn’t a high-risk buy, waiting for a 2026 model—where complaint and recall trends improve—may offer greater reliability at minimal feature sacrifice.
