VISIBILITY/WIPER
VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION TRAVELING 65 MPH ON I-95 AT 10:00 PM AT NIGHT. IT WAS DURING A THUNDERSTORM WITH HEAVY RAIN AND LOW VISIBILITY WHEN THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS ABRUPTLY STOPPED IN THE UPRIGHT POSITION BLOCKING MY VISION OF THE HIGHWAY. WIPERS WERE ON THE LOWEST NOTCH OF THE MEDIUM SETTING. THIS WAS VERY SCARY AND I HAD TO MOVE OVER THREE LANES AND LUCKILY WAS RIGHT NEAR A REST STOP AND WAS ABLE TO SAFELY STOP. I HAD TO MANUAL PUSH THE WIPERS DOWN. I COULD HEAR THE MOTOR BUT THE WIPERS DID NOT MOVE. I TURNED THE CAR ON AND OFF, STILL DID NOT WORK. I HAD TO WAIT UNTIL THE RAIN STOPPED. 70,000 MILES. THIS WAS A VERY SCARY EXPERIENCE AND THIS IS CLEARLY AN ISSUE. I HOPE THIS IS ADDRESSED TO PROTECT OTHERS. THIS COULD CAUSE MAJOR ACCIDENTS AND RISK LIVES. I FEEL VERY LUCKY.

ENGINE
OUR 2015 CHEVROLET EQUINOX WITH 62,900 MILES STALLED MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE IN REVERSE BACKING OUT OF OUR DRIVEWAY. NO ENGINE LIGHT SHOWING. WHILE STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT ON A MAJOR STREET AND INTERSECTION, THE CAR STALLED A FEW TIMES. YOU HAVE TO GIVE IT GAS WHEN SHIFTING FROM PARK TO DRIVE TO AVOID STALLING. AFTER 1 DAY, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. IT WAS TIME FOR AN OIL CHANGE SO I HAD THEM CHECK THE CODE. IT CAME BACK AS BANK ONE CAMSHAFT SENSOR P0011. THE NEXT DAY, ALL WAS FINE AND NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. 2 DAYS LATER, MULTIPLE STALLS AT STOP LIGHTS AND IN PARKING LIGHTS WHEN THE CAR IS GOING SLOW, STARTING FROM A STOP AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK ON.

WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT 9:45 PM AND IT STARTED TO POUR HEAVILY. I TURNED MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS ON AND INITIALLY THEY WORKED FINE AND THEN SUDDENLY THEY STOPPED IN THE UPRIGHT POSITION. I HAD ZERO VISIBILITY AND HAD TO PULL OVER BENEATH AN OVERPASS UNTIL THE RAIN STOPPED. NEEDLESS TO SAY, THIS A SIGNIFICANT CONCERN AS THE RISK FOR ACCIDENT AND/OR INJURY THAT COULD COME ABOUT BECAUSE OF THIS IS HIGH. WHEN DOING AN ONLINE SEARCH ABOUT THIS, I FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME SITUATION. THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM AMONG EQUINOX VEHICLES. WHY HAS THIS NOT BEEN INVESTIGATED? WHY SHOULD CONSUMERS HAVE TO PAY FOR SOMETHING THAT CLEARLY BEGAN AT THE FACTORY.

WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING SUDDENLY WHILE DRIVING ON A BUSY STREET IN THE POURING RAIN WHILE I WAS ON MY WAY TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST (USING TOO MUCH OIL.) I WAS TOLD THAT I NEEDED TO HAVE THE WIPER MODULE ASSEMBLY REPLACED ($246.78) I READ AN ARTICLE THAT THE SAME PROBLEM WAS HAPPENING WITH THE 2013 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. I HAVE GOTTEN NO RESPONSE FROM THE DEALERSHIP'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT.

WHILE I WAS DRIVING WHILE IT WAS RAINING, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING. THE WIPERS WERE STILL UP WHEN THEY STOPPED WORKING. WHEN I GOT HOME I CHECKED THE WIPER MOTOR AND TRANSMISSION TO FIND THE ISSUE. THE WINDSHIELD WIPER TRANSMISSION ASSEMBLY HAS AN ARM THAT DISCONNECTS FROM THE REST OF THE ASSEMBLY.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
I WAS DRIVING ON A BUSY HIGHWAY YESTERDAY AFTERNOON IN THE POURING RAIN AND MY FRONT WIPER BLADES SUDDENLY QUIT WORKING IN THE UPRIGHT POSITION. I COULD BARELY SEE TO PULL OVER BECAUSE IT WAS RAINING SO HARD. I TURNING THE WIPERS ON & OFF AND EVEN TRIED TURNING THE CAR OFF & BACK ON. THEY WOULD NOT RESUME WORKING. I WAITED OUT THE DOWNPOUR & SLOWLY MADE MY WAY HOME. TODAY I TOOK THE CAR TO A AUTOZONE AFTER SEVERAL MEN IN THE FAMILY TOLD ME IT WAS PROBABLY THE FUSE. THE EMPLOYEE CHECKED THE FUSES AND THEY WERE ALL GOOD. HE TOLD ME THAT I WAS THE 3RD PERSON IN THIS WEEK WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM DRIVING THE SAME MAKE & MODEL EQUINOX. HE SAID I WOULD NEED TO TAKE IT TO A REPAIR SHOP BECAUSE IT WAS A PART DEFECT & TOLD ME WHERE TO LOOK UP THE OTHER COMPLAINTS JUST LIKE MINE. I HAVEN'T EVEN OWNED THIS SUV A YEAR AND CAN'T BELIEVE I'M GOING TO HAVE TO PAY OVER $300 TO GET IT FIXED WHEN THE PROBLEM IS A $5 PART. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON THIS. SOMEONE IS GOING TO EITHER GET KILLED DRIVING IN THE RAIN & THIS HAPPENS TO THEM.

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM THE GROCERY WITH MY DAUGHTER IN THE CAR. IT WAS DURING A HEAVY THUNDERSTORM AND MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS JUST STOPPED WORKING. VISIBILITY WAS 0 AT THAT POINT. WE WERE ON A STATE HIGHWAY GOING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH. I HAD TO TRY AND GET OFF THE ROAD TO THE RIGHT AND ALMOST HIT ANOTHER CAR. MY HUSBAND CHANGED THE FUSE AND THAT WAS NOT THE PROBLEM. THE WIPERS ARE CURRENTLY NOT WORKING.

ENGINE
CAMSHAFT POSITION ACTUATOR SOLENOID THIS HAPPENS AS SOON AS WE TURN THE CAR ON, PUT IT IN DRIVE AND BEGIN TO ACCELERATE. IT ALSO DOES IT WHEN WE ARE IDLING AT A STOP LIGHT OR STOP SIGN THE ENGINE WITH START TO JUMP AS IF IT'S NOT REACTING TO THE ACCELERATOR. WHILE WE ARE TRAVELING DOWN THE ROAD YOU CAN FEEL THE CAR JUMP AS IF IT'S TRYING TO STALL ITSELF. WE HAVE TO PUT THE CAR BACK IN PARK TO START IT SO IF THIS HAPPENS WHILE WE ARE TRAVELING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED THEN THAT COULD CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT OR SOMETHING MORE TRAJIC. OUR CAR STALLS WHEN IT'S AT IDLE OR WHEN WE ARE BEGINNING TO ACCELERATE. THIS POSES A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN FOR OUR FAMILY AS WE ARE GOING TO HAVE AN INFANT IN A MONTH. WE HAVE BEEN DOING RESEARCH ON THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM AND IT SEEMS THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF OTHERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE AS US. THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND RESOLVED.

THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS FAILED DURING A RAINSTORM. THEY WERE ON THE SECOND TO HIGHEST SETTING, AND THEY JUST STOPPED WORKING IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION. I HAD TO DRIVE VERY SLOWLY WITH MY HAZARD LIGHTS TO THE NEAREST PARKING AREA TO STOP, BECAUSE THERE WAS NO SHOULDER. THE PLASTIC BUSHING FAILED IN THE WIPER PART, AND CHEVROLET DOES NOT SELL JUST THAT PART. WE HAD TO REPLACE THE WHOLE WIPER ASSEMBLY.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE DURING A RAINSTORM. WIPERS WERE SET TO HIGH SPEED AND THEN STOPPED. ONE WAS IN THE UPRIGHT POSITION BLOCKING THE DRIVER VIEW AND THE OTHER WAS PARTIALLY HANGING OFF THE DRIVER SIDE WINDSHIELD. HAD TO CHANGE TWO LANES AND PULL OFF ROAD WITH ZERO VISIBILITY. IT WAS VERY SCARY. I WAS GLAD MY KIDS WEREN'T IN THE CAR. TURNED CAR OFF AND ON, DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. HAD TO WAIT ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD UNTIL THE RAIN STOPPED SO THAT I COULD DRIVE SAFELY. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID TRANSMISSION MODULE FAILED. $324 FIX. INTERESTINGLY THEY SAID IT WAS THE FOURTH EQUINOX THEY FIXED THIS MONTH WITH THIS PROBLEM. THIS NEEDS A RECALL.
