VISIBILITY/WIPER
I RECEIVED A NOTICE FROM GM ON MY 2015 CHEVROLET EQUINOX ON 2/6/20 STATING THAT THERE MAY BE A CONDITION WHERE A LINK BALL SOCKET IN THE WIPER TRANSMISSION MAY SEPARATE. IF THIS WERE TO OCCUR, THE DRIVER WOULD EXPERIENCE A SUDDEN LOSS OF WIPER FUNCTION! AFTER TALKING WITH GM AND THE DEALER, WAS TOLD THIS DOES NOT CONSTITUTE A RECALL. I STRONGLY DISAGREE!

VISIBILITY/WIPER, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
2015 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 60 MPH WHEN SUNROOF SHATTERED. I HEARD A LOUD NOISE AND DID NOT SEE ANYTHING THAT COULD HAVE HIT MY CAR. I PULLED THE COVER BACK ON THE SUNROOF TO SEE IF I COULD SEE WHAT HAPPENED. THE ONLY THING I COULD SEE WAS GLASS CRACKED INTO A MILLION PIECES. THE SUNROOF SHATTERED OUT OF NO WHERE. GLASS FLEW OFF THE TOP OF MY SUV WHILE OTHER DRIVERS WERE BEHIND ME, WHICH PUT MANY DRIVERS IN DANGER. FIRST MY WIPERS STOP WORKING OUT OF THE BLUE AND NOW MY SUNROOF SHATTERS. THESE VEHICHLES ARE DEFECTIVE AND NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. RECALLS SHOULD BE ISSUED FOR THE 2015 CHEVROLET EQUINOX IN THE UNITED STATES BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR LOOSES THEIR LIFE.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
I WAS DRIVING DOWN A TWO WAY ROAD WHEN IT STARTED POURING ALL OF A SUDDEN LIKE IT TENDS TO DO WHERE I LIVE. I TURNED ON MY WIPERS AND THEY ONLY WORKED FOR A COUPLE OF MINUTES BEFORE THE PASSENGER SIDE WIPER TURNED PAST THE WINDSHIELD AND GOT STUCK IN THAT POSITION. I COULD NOT SEE A THING AND HAD TO PULL OVER UNTIL THE RAIN STOPPED, THIS IS WAY TOO DANGEROUS. I'M LUCKY THIS DIDN'T HAPPEN WHILE ON THE FREEWAY. I TRIED TO TURN THE WIPERS ON AND THEY WOULD NOT MOVE. WHY HASN'T GM ADDRESSED THIS ISSUE? I READ THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR 2013 MODELS AND IN CANADA THEY RECALLED MODELS UP TO 2016.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
ON SUNDAY, AUGUST 18, 2019, ABOUT 7:30 AM WHILE DRIVING ON A 3 LANE HIGHWAY GOING ABOUT 55 MPH DURING A HEAVY RAIN DOWNPOUR, MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING. THEY SUDDENLY STOPPED MOVING WHILE IN MOTION, ONE EXTENDING OFF THE WINDSHIELD, THE OTHER STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WINDSHIELD. I INSTANTLY HAD ZERO VISIBILITY AND WAS IN DANGER OF CRASHING. THERE WERE MANY OTHER VEHICLES DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. I WAS TERRIFIED BUT SOMEHOW MANAGED TO MANEUVER MY VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD BY ROLLING DOWN MY WINDOW AND STICKING MY HEAD OUT TO SEE JUST ENOUGH TO PULL OVER SAFELY. MY ORDEAL WAS NOT OVER BECAUSE THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY WAS NOT THAT WIDE AND DUE TO THE NATURE OF MY JOB, I WAS FULLY AWARE THAT IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO BE ON THE SIDE OF A HIGHWAY, ESPECIALLY DURING BAD WEATHER, BECAUSE OTHER DRIVERS MIGHT NOT SEE YOU AND COMPLETELY CRASH INTO YOU GOING FULL SPEED, THUS MY LIFE WAS IN SERIOUS DANGER. I FRANTICALLY LOCATED AND CALLED FOR ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE WHILE WATCHING TRAFFIC ANXIOUSLY IN MY REAR VIEW MIRROR. I WAS IN COMPLETE PANIC MODE AND COULD BARELY FOCUS. I DECIDED THAT IT WAS TOO DANGEROUS TO WAIT THERE FOR EMERGENCY HELP SO I GOT OUT OF MY CAR AND MANUALLY WIPED THE WINDSHIELD CLEAR AND BEGAN DRIVING ON THE SHOULDER SLOWLY TO THE NEAREST EXIT WHICH WAS ABOUT 3/4 MILE AWAY. I MADE IT OFF OF THE HIGHWAY AND DROVE CAUTIOUSLY UNTIL I MADE IT HOME. MY ORDEAL WAS TRAUMATIZING. WHAT MADE THIS ENTIRE NIGHTMARE WORSE IS THAT AFTER GOING ONLINE TO TRY TO FIND OUT WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN THE CAUSE OF THE WIPER FAIL, I SAW THAT THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM HAD HAPPENED TO MANY OTHER OWNERS OF THE SAME VEHICLE AND CHEVY HAS YET TO RECALL THE WIPERS. I HAD MY WIPERS FIXED BY A CHEVY DEALER IN HOMEWOOD IL., THE REPAIR MECHANIC HAD SEEN MY PROBLEM MANY TIMES. THIS IS AN OUTRAGE. DOES CHEVY CARE ABOUT THEIR CUSTOMERS LIVES?

VISIBILITY/WIPER
I WAS DRIVING ABOUT AN HOUR AND A HALF AWAY IN DECEMBER IN INDIANA ON THE INTERSTATE GOING 70 MPH AND IT STARTED TO SNOW/RAIN. I TURNED MY WIPERS ON AND THEY STOPPED WORKING WITH THE WIPERS STILL IN MY VIEW. I HAD TO PULL OVER AND MOVE THEM TO SEE AND THE CAR WAS NOT DRIVABLE DUE TO THE WEATHER CONDITIONS. I HAD TO FIND A PARTS STORE THAT HAD THE WIPER BLADE TRANSMISSION LINKAGE AND SPENT $170 TO FIX IT. I FEEL LIKE THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD WHILE TRYING TO USE THE WIPERS IN THE WEATHER CONDITIONS BECAUSE THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN DO TO FIX IT RIGHT AWAY!

ENGINE
2015 EQUINOX, 103K MILES, PCV SYSTEM FROZE AND MAIN SEAL BLOW OUT. OIL LEAKED OUT VERY QUICKLY WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE, LOSS OF POWER AND A DANGEROUS SITUATION. BULLETIN 14882 DOES NOT COVER MY 2.4L ECOTEC ENGINE, AS IT ONLY COVERS 2010-14 MODEL YEARS. MY VEHICLE HAS THE SAME EXACT ISSUE AS THE RECALL IN THE BULLETIN, YET I AM STUCK WITH A $6K BILL. MY VEHICLE ALSO HAS THE ISSUE WHERE IT BURNS OIL. THE LOW ENGINE OIL PRESSURE LIGHT DID NOT COME ON UNTIL DAMAGE HAD ALREADY OCCURRED. BULLETIN 14882 NEEDS TO BE EXTENDED TO INCLUDE FURTHER MODEL YEARS. THIS WAS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION THAT HAS RESULTED IN A SIGNIFICANT FINANCIAL LOSS. GM IS MORE THAN AWARE OF THIS ISSUE.
