What's wrong, in plain English
On certain 2025 Chevrolet Equinox EV all-wheel drive electric vehicles, the adaptive cruise control system may not apply the brakes the way it is supposed to when needed. This happens because of incorrect software installed in the module that controls the vehicle's brake system. As a result, the brakes may not engage automatically as the driver expects when the adaptive cruise control feature is being used.
