 Description of the problem1) fca - forward collision avoidance does not work properly. This allowed our vehicle to strike another vehicle in the rear. It intermittently will give warning of being close to cars in front of it. In the accident there was no warning from the fca 2) fab - forward automatic braking failed to work - it did not engage when our vehicle struck a car in front of it. Our vehicle was traveling 7mph which is in the specified range per the owners manual. 3) ldw - lane departure warning does not function properly. This system does not warn when our vehicle crosses over a lane marker line nor does it give a gentle assist to the steering wheel. Our vehicle was taken to dealer, and dealer ran diagnostics and took for a test drive. They claim that it is within factory specification, but agreed the systems did not appear to work as described in the owners manual or as advertised. We took a new 2018 equinox for a test drive, anf found the fca and the ldw failed to perform properly the same as in our vehicle. This appears to be a systemic failure in 2018 chevrolet equinox vehicles
