While driving down the highway during a severe thunder storm warning, I turned my wiper blades onto the second highest setting. After about a minute the wiper blades stopped moving. Visibility was already terrible with the sheets of rain, but was now instantly reduced to zero while I was traveling at 60 mph in decently heavy traffic. I was able to put on my hazards and limp my way to the edge of the highway. It appears that the wiper blade linkage has broken

While driving East bound on Ohio turnpike I-80/90 on 06/23/2020 during heavy rain, the wipers motor or wiper transmission failed with the wipers in a vertical position. With drastically reduced visibility and while driving in a construction zone it was a dangerous situation I was placed in by the failure. At the dealer I was notified that there is a special coverage from the manufacturer for this issue. This is indicative that a larger problem exists and public safety is at risk by not checking and repairing all vehicles with this part/ assembly. The repair was completed at joe firment Chevrolet in avon, oh. 866-675-5937. I do not have any paperwork as I had to leave quickly and could not wait for the service advisor who was on a break.

When I was driving down the interstate it started to pour down rain, I turned my wipers on full speed and the wiper stopped in the middle of the window and would not activate. Vehicle was in motion on an interstate almost causing me to wreck due to not being able to see other traffic. Will be bringing the car to the dealership for service.

I was driving home and I was on a major freeway. It was pouring down raining and I hit the windshield wiper gear to speed it up because I could not see. Luckily I did not get hurt on the freeway. It just speed up and stopped all of a sudden on the left. Immediately had to slow down and hit my hazard light. I eventually stopped in the middle of the freeway to fold the wipers down just to see if they only got stuck. No luck.....they stopped working. Oh and im also in the line closest to the exit. There was moderate traffic and car was in motion.

Yesterday, while driving home on a road during a downpour, my windshield wipers, which were turned on abruptly stopped. I'm not sure what's wrong with them, but I'm hoping to figure out soon. The wipers sound like they're starting, but don't move. I've been informed that there's currently an investigation into 2013-2016 Chevy wiper issues, so I wanted to make sure that you were informed about mine as well. 2015 Chevy Equinox. I can supplement if need be when I get more information on what happened.

Bushing failed in front wiper mechanism. Wiper stopped mid-cycle when switched down from highest setting. In heavy rain. Mechanic could not get replacement bushing to fit - entire mechanism must be replaced (motor can be salvaged). Mechanic's attempt to get bushing to fit seemed to finally work, but failed on first test in same way as before. Big hassle for small part.

- Mesquite, TX, USA

Wipers stopped working while driving during a storm. Terrifying. Almost hit another car trying to pull off. Could not see anything. Had to get home; had to drive very slow with emergency lights on after the initial near death experience. We could have died that day. Does actual death initiate a recall? if so, how many before it's important. I've seen all the previous complaints. Please help.
