Was in motion on the highway during a state of emergency snow storm and the wipers went completely out I spinned and almost crashed. After reading reviews this is common and GM only recalled certain years and VIN numbers leaving others to deal with the safety issue this is a major concern. My son was also in the car and a part of the faulty wiper system Chevy is selling to its customers.

This is the 2nd time my wipers have seized while operating during a snowfall. It was not stormy blizzard conditions either just had the wipers on slow to clear light snow. I was city driving barely doing 25 both times. It happened last April I had it repaired. Now they seized again last night. This is a safety hazzard and I this Chevrolet should take responsibility for it. I had less then 100,000 miles on it the first time an now I have 104,000 and it broke again.

Also right after I've gotten my car my car was making a loud noise I took it to the shop and they told me there's a crack in the exhaust both of these problems he said are very common in all the Equinox and they actually have a recall for this problem with the 2013 Chevy Equinox

Windshield takes up to half an hour to defrost when first started in cold weather. I have to manually wipe off the inside windshield a few times so that I can drive to work. Windshield will fog up while driving in certain conditions, such as rain, especially if there is more than one person in the vehicle, and it will take too long to defog, limiting visibility. When the heat is on for long periods, the radio overheats and stops working properly. Heat continues to come out of the vents even when it is turned off. This has been an ongoing problem since I purchased the vehicle on May 21, 2016.

While traveling at 65 mph during a rain storm, the windshield wipers suddenly stopped working. After getting the vehicle home, we discovered the wiper linkage had failed. The ball jointsin the linkage were severely corroded and worn. Seems.to.be the exact failure that was recalled on the 2013 Equinox models (16V582000). When ordering repair parts I noted the wiper linkage is common to all Equinox models from 2010-2017. Vehicle has roughly 80,000 miles at time.of failure.

My veh stalled on me mid drive said engine power reduced, it did not let me accelerate and I almost got hit. Simultaneously the stabilitrack message came on and watch for ice, did this happen because of the cold? also few days later it was storming and my wipers stopped in the middle of the window and I was on the fwy in the fast lane. I had to get soaked from rolling M window down to pull over. Roadside came to stop traffic to let me on the right side shoulder because I was lucky I had room to pull over or even see in the first place. I couldnt see anything!

I have had two incidents of wiper failure on my used 2010 Chevy Equinox. I just purchased my used Equinox the end of August 2018. In about two weeks after purchase, I was driving on interstate 95 in Maryland, and the wipers stopped working during a rain incident. Fortunately I made it home. I took it to the dealer where I purchased it and they said they repaired the bushings on the linkage. The 2nd incident happened in November of 2018 during a snow incident. My wife was using the Equinox to drive to the bank. It was snowing and she was using the wipers. Again the wipers stopped working! she was able to make it home and park it safely in the driveway. When she brought it home, I was able to hear the wiper motor working, but the arms were not moving. We have not used the vehicle since this last incident happened. We have had two wiper linkage failure incidents in approx. 3 months. I don't know what we would have done if we were on a long family trip. It is very scary when your wipers stop working and you cannot see the road you are driving on, or traffic around you.

I was driving to the store in the rain and the driver's side wiper stopped working. My son replaced the bushings, then on my way into work in the rain both stopped working I took it to the repair shop and they tell me it is the wiper transmission and the transmission linkage. There is a recall in the us for 2013 but there needs to be for 2010-2013 like Canada has. This dangerous

Original recall 09 V4 89000 was supposed to have fixed visibility issue. Car was taken in at the time of the original recall. The vehicle is showing symptoms of the exact same issue as before where defroster is no longer working because of controls not functioning. Radio is also out along with possible other unknown electrical issues. We've turn the car on and off several times hoping it was just a glitch, however it appears the problems of the first recall are back again. Driving the vehicle pose a threat has we live in weather we're having to have control over the defrosting is needed. Defroster and panel do not work because of lack of electrical control. My worry is that this is systemic, the the issue is reoccurring, every so years or so, that other issues will continually make this an issue in the future.

Windshield wipers stopped working during a downpour on a 6 lane highway at night. Wiper was off the side of the drivers window, was able to push them back into place, and you can hear the wiper motor running, the spray still worked and the back wiper but the front wipers will not move. This was a very scary situation, even more ao that my 6 year okd was in the xar with me. This is a huge safety hazard.
