My wipers stopped working, getting stuck all the way to the left side of the windshield while driving in the highway, in the middle of a rain storm. It was very difficult to try to get to the shoulder on the right hand side being that I was on the left lane. Thankfully, I was able to pull over safely.

Wiper failure. GM currently has a recall for the 2013 Equinox for this issue. Our 2015 Equinox has the same issue where the wipers failed at what may have been a critical time that clearly presents a danger. Https://static.NHTSA.gov/ODI/rcl/2016/rcsb-16V582-8151.pdf 0125

While driving along in a rainstorm my windshield wipers failed. It was pretty stressfull for a time till I was able to stop. Please add me to the list of complaints. The fix was over 500 dollars

The car was parked (thank god) and when the wipers were turned on, they no longer worked. Just bought the car 9 days ago! 54K on it. I took it apart and found the wiper transmission had fallen apart!

The front window defroster does not blow any air, which causes the inside to fog over. Also the outside of the windshield freezes causing extreme visibility loss. The defroster does not work at all regardless if I am driving or parked. I reviewed may others with the exact same issue for many different year Equinox. There really needs to be a recall to correct this before an accident occurs causing death.

It was raining and my wipers were set on the automatic setting where they would work about every 20-30 seconds. They stopped working in mid wipe!! the mister is still functional because I can hear it but the wipers are not. I have been reading that this is a major issue with the model of vehicle and the part has been recalled in Canada. Why not here"??" I lost all visibility while driving down the road at night!!! I was scared to death and drove the car home.

I was driving down the interstate (going 75mph) in moderate rain when suddenly our windshield wipers over extended and would no longer engage. We had to stop because we couldn't see. We had to make our way off the highway and to a repair shop to get them 'rigged' to get us back on the road.

On the evening of December 22nd, 2018 during heavy rain driving approximately 60mph on the freeway (South on I5 in everett, wa), the windshield wipers stopped functioning in mid stroke. With extremely poor visibility, we managed to pull the vehicle off the freeway we shut the vehicle off and restarted it hoping this would reset the wipers, but they continued to not function. The wiper motor can be heard functioning, however, the wiper arms fail to move. We will be taking it to our dealer for service, but suspect the bushings on the transmission have failed.

I was traveling on a highway in heavy rain when suddenly the passenger-side wiper started moving in the opposite direction as the driver-side wiper. It finally stopped dead and I only had the driver side wiper but the blade was badly damaged when they were hitting one another so I had very limited vision. I consider this to be an extremely hazardous situation.

During a snow storm in Virginia 12/09/2018 my windshield wipers suddenly and without warning stopped working. I had to drive remainder of the 2 hour drive home during a snow storm, at night in treacherous conditions with no windshield wipers. I had to have the dealership (tappahannock Chevrolet) replace the entire windshield wiper transmission assembly (with motor) simply because a plastic transmission arm lock (poorly designed plastic button/bushing broke. Total cost was $357.40 due to a lousy design!

Last Saturday as I was driving on the tollway, my wipers just stopped working. It was pouring rain. Talk about being scared. I managed to get to the next exit and get off the tollway and pull over on a side street. I had a sweat shirt in the car and had to safely pull over at times every 3 blocks to clear the window. Sometimes the rain slowed and I could go a little further down side streets. I made it to a gas station with of course no mechanic and located the wiper fuse and switched the rear camera fuse with it (same w), but it still didn't work. I bought paper towels and again kept stopping to wipe the window. Really dangerous and scary. Miraculously, about half way to home from there it stopped raining and I was able to get home. Research shows this wiper problem is a recall in Canada. It should be here, too. It cost $595 to repair.
