AIR BAGS
PASSENGER AIRBAG SENSOR DOES NOT REGISTER WITH AIRBAG CONTROL MODULE. BROUGHT IT TO CHEVY FOR REPAIR. 600 BUCKS LATER AND A NEW SENSOR, AIRBAG STILL ISN'T RESPONDING. CHEVY TELLS ME I NEED A NEW AIRBAG CONTROL MODULE FOR 700 BUCKS, HAD ALREADY SPENT 1300 ON THAT VISIT. AIRBAG DOES NOT REGISTER PASSENGER, COMPUTER WILL NOT RESET AND SYNC WITH CONTROL MODULE. THIS SHOULDN'T REQUIRE THE ENTIRE MODULE TO BE REPLACED, NOR SHOULD I HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS SINCE THIS I'VE HEARD/READ NUMEROUS CASES ALL DEALING WITH THIS ISSUE ON THE SAME MODEL AND APPARENTLY GM REFUSES TO RECALL (ASIDE FROM THE AIRBAG REPROGRAM WHEN IT FIRST RELEASED) HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM A DEALER, WHO SAID THEY FIXED IT BEFORE I PICKED IT UP. DOES WORK INTERMITTENTLY, WHEN A LARGER PERSON SITS THERE, AIR BAG DOES REGISTER.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
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.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
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.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
WHILE DRIVING IN A HEAVY RAIN STORM MY VEHICLES WINDSHIELD WIPERS COMPLETELY LOST FUNCTION. LUCKILY I WAS CLOSE ENOUGH TO MY HOME TO TAKE A COUPLE BACK ROADS AND DRIVE VERY SLOWLY WITH ALMOST NO VISIBILITY DUE TO LOSS OF WIPER FUNCTION. THIS OCCURRED ON A CITY STREET WITH HIGH STANDING WATER AND WAS BEING OPERATED AT ABOUT 25MPH. MY VEHICLE YEAR IS CURRENTLY UNDER INVESTIGATION FOR RECALL BY THE NHTSA FOR THE BALL JOINT ASSEMBLY RUSTING AND BREAKING. IN THE MEAN TIME I AM CURRENTLY TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO CONSERVATIVELY REPAIR THE VEHICLE.

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
