Source: NHTSA complaint databaseOwners of the 3 model years this bulletin names have filed 677 complaints with NHTSA since 2015. 98 of them name Service Brakes — the same broad component group this bulletin is filed under.

On Saturday, August 29, 2026, at approximately 12:00 PM, I was driving my 2026 Chevrolet Equinox EV RS on the highway at about 65 mph. The weather conditions were clear and sunny. Without warning, the vehicle's automatic emergency braking (AEB) system abruptly engaged with full force, causing a severe and sudden deceleration.
