Hello from Austin, Texas (2025 Equinox RS AWD)

[Kenway]

Hello! I am a 25 year old dude currently living here in Austin, Texas! Just bought my 2025 Equinox RS AWD on 10/15 and I'm absolutely loving it so far! Upgraded from my old 2014 Chevy Cruze LTZ that I've been driving since high-school. Looking forward to posting here.

Welcome to the forum, and congrats on your new Equinox! I guess since people are buying '25s now, I can no longer call my '24 "new".

I also just upgraded from a 2014 which was nearly a perfect car. The 2025 is an incredible upgrade from the 14 but with about 350 miles on the new one the radio intermittently cuts out, even the XM Radio. It comes back on but in my 2014 it never shut off once. I'm thinking maybe an update or resetting something will fix it.

In my 22 manual, it mentions that the computers/electronics are learning and calibrating the first 4,000 miles or so, and that you can have some unusual noise, clicks, etc and not to worry about it. Perhaps this would come under that? I didn't notice anything like that, I'd say ask the dealer but they might just brush it off. If it persists would have them look into it.

On new vehicles, the various mechanical and
electrical systems experience a “break-in”
period during the first 6 400 km (4,000 mi)
of routine driving. As the vehicle is driven,
the mechanical systems adjust to provide
optimal fuel economy and transmission shift
performance.
Electrical systems will adapt and calibrate
during the break-in period. A one-time
occurrence of clicks and similar vehicle
noises is normal during this process.

UPDATE I called the dealer and talked to the service writer to see if others have been calling. He said no and he has never had a call about this problem. My original thought a and his was to disconnect the negative battery terminal. I'll let them do that but actually the issue has gone from 10-15 times per day to 3 or 4 so yeah you may have been right.
