2011 Chevrolet Equinox VISIBILITY/WIPER

MY WIPERS STOPPED WORKING WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY IN THE POURING RAIN. THEY WILL NOT WORK NOW. I WAS FORCED TO DRIVE 60 MILES WITHOUT THEM, IN THE RAIN. IT IS NOT THE FUSE, I CHECKED.

WIPER MODULE TRANSMISSION ASSEMBLY FAILED DURING RAIN STORM. I WAS DRIVING ON A 70 MILE AN HOUR HIGHWAY AT THE TIME. DRIVER'S WIPER BLADE WENT OFF THE WINDSHIELD TO THE LEFT AND WOULD NOT MOVE AFTER THAT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WIPERS FAILED TO FUNCTION PROPERLY AND SEIZED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO COAST OFF THE ROADWAY DUE TO THE FAILURE. THE DEALER (JOE BOWMAN CHEVROLET, 2455 E MARKET ST, HARRISONBURG, VA 22801, (540) 908-2809) WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE, BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE DEALER INDICATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN ANY RECALL CAMPAIGNS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. *TT CONSUMER STATED WHILE DRIVING WIPERS FROZE DURING HEAVY RAIN. UPDATED 11/21/18*JB

I WAS DRIVING DOWN I75 WHEN IT STARTED RAINING THEN POURING,I TURNED ON MY WIPERS AND THEY WORKED FINE FOR A COUPLE MINUTES. THEN STOPPED WORKING ,I COULD STILL HEAR THE MOTER WORKING ,BUT NO MOVEMENT FROM HE WIPERBLADES.TTRAFFIC WAS HEAVY AND I COULD NOT SEE ,I TURNED ON MY FLASHERS AND LUCKILY WAS ABLE TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD THEN I WAITED TILL THE RAIN STOPPED TO DRIVE HOME

DURING HEAVY RAIN STORM WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY TRAVELING @ 65 MPH THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS BOTH STOPPED WORKING. THE ARM THAT LINKS THE MOTOR TO THE WIPER TRANSMISSION HAD COMPLETELY DISCONNECTED. VERY DANGEROUS AS IT HAPPENED AT HIGHWAY SPEED DURING RUSH HOUR. GENERAL MOTORS CALLS THE PART THAT FAILED WIPER TRANSMISSION. WHEN I SPOKE WITH THE CHEVROLET PARTS DEPT EMPLOYEE HE STATED ITS A VERY COMMON FAILURE AND ITS THE EXACT PART THAT IS RECALLED ON 2013 EQUINOX.

DRIVING ON THE CITY STREET IN THE RAIN. WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING BUSHING CAME APART. NO RECALL ON PART HOLE WINDSHIELD WIPER TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED.

CHEVY PLACE WHERE I TAKE IT IN QUINCY FLORIDA SAID THEY CHECK IT QUOTE ? RIGHT! ) BUT HAD TO GOT AND PAID AT A MECHANICAL SHOP THAT CARE FOR THE SAFETY OF THERE CUSTOMER TO CHECK FOR ME AND THE SAID THIS NOT RIGHT PART FOR THIS SUV 2011 THAT WHY IT KEEP MAKING THEY NOISES AND DAMAGING THE SIDE OF MY BACK WINDOW CASE NOT THE RIGHT ARM FOR THE BACK WINDOW ARM PUTTING A MOTOR HIT HARD STRAIN. LET I SAID CHEVY IN QUINCY FLORIDA SAID THEY FIT BUT IT STILL DO IT

FRONT WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING. MOTOR DOES RUN.

WIPERS FAILED IN RAINSTORM. WAS TRAVELLING ON RT 81 AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH NEAR BINGHAMPTON, NY..

WE WERE ON VACATION IN FLORIDA. A SUDDEN TORRENTIAL RAIN CAME. I TURNED MY WIPERS ON HIGH AND AFTER A FEW SECONDS THEY JUST STOPPED WORKING. I COULD NOT SEE SO I HAD TO QUICKLY PUT ON MY WIPERS AND SLOWLY PULL TO THE SIDE IN THE MIDST OF HEAVY TRAFFIC LEAVING THE PARK

MY WIPERS STOPPED WORKING TODAY, WHILE I WAS DRIVING TO WORK, I PULLED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I ALMOST DIED BECAUSE THEY WAS NO SHOULDER LANE AT THE TIME. MY FRIEND CAME AND GUIDED ME ON BASE AT A LOCAL SHOP. I TALKED TO CHEVY THEY DID NOT CARE STATING THE RECALL WAS NOT FOR THIS YEAR. I THOUGHT THAT WAS STUPID BECAUSE IT WAS THE SAME PART. CHEVY HAD RECALLS FOR THE SAME ISSUE, SAME MAKE, MODEL OF THE NEXT YEAR AND BEYOND.

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.

WHILE DRIVING ON A BUSY MAIN THOROUGHFARE DURING A RAINSTORM MY WINDSHILED WIPERS SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING. I QUICKLY CUT ON MY HAZARDS AND PULLED OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. MY DAUGHTER AND I COULD HEAR A MOTOR HUM WHEN I TURNED THE WIPERS ON BUT THEY NEVER MOVED. WE WERE STRANDED TO AN HOUR UNTIL THE STORM PASSED AND I COULD SEE TO DRIVE AGAIN. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A FATAL ACCIDENT HAD I NOT BEEN ABLE TO PULL OVER SO QUICKLY.

10-10-2017 - WHILE DRIVING HOME DURING A HEAVY RAINSTORM, WIPERS GOING FULL SPEED, WIPERS STOPPED WITH ONE WIPER GOING OFF THE LEFT SIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD, OTHER WIPER STOPPED IN MY DRIVING VIEW. ONCE I WAS ABLE TO GET PARKED, I LAID THE WIPER BLADES DOWN, TRIED THE GET THEM TO WORK BUT ONLY HEARD THE MOTOR RUN, WIPERS NOT MOVING. HAD THEM CHECKED OUT BY A MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD THAT I NEEDED A NEW WIPER TRANSMISSION. THIS ONE HAD A WORN OUT PART THAT WOULD CONTINUE TO POP OUT OF SOCKET IF USED. I'VE READ OF OTHER COMPLAINTS OF THIS HAPPENING. GM NEEDS TO MAKE THIS A RECALL. IT'S VERY DANGEROUS WHEN IT HAPPENS. GM WIPER MOTOR AND TRANSMISSION IS ROUGHLY $150.00 AT THE DEALERSHIP PLUS THEIR LABOR COST. THIS SHOULD NOT WEAR OUT SO SOON ON A 2011 MODEL.

THE WINDSHIELD PIPER CAME LOOSE AND SLAMMED AGAINST MY WINDOW

DRIVING IN A BAD RAINSTORM THE WIPERS SUDDENLY STOPPED WAS NESS. TO PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO WAIT OUT THE STORM.HAD TO REPLACE THE WIPER ASM. BECAUSE THE TRANSMISSION ARM POPPED OFF OF THE MOTOR.BAD DESIGN GM. THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED!

OUR DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING HOME BETWEEN MEMPHIS, TN AND NASHVILLE, TN, DURING A THUNDERSTORM. HER WIPERS AT FULL BLAST, WENT TO THE LEFT AND STOPPED! ALL SHE COULD DO IS PULL OVER AND WAIT UNTIL, THE STORM PASSED. AS PARENTS, LAST THING YOU WANT TO HEAR IS YOUR 25 YEAR DAUGHTER IS SITTING ON THE SIDE OF I40 AT NIGHT UNABLE TO TRAVEL AND WE LIVE 8 HOURS AWAY! THE NEXT MORNING SHE CHECKED THE WIPERS, NOPE, NA-DA. SAID SHE CAN HEAR THE MOTOR HUMMING, BUT NOTHING IS WORKING. EVERYONE NEAR HER WANTS 350.00 + TO REPLACE IT.... THAT'S A LOT OF MONEY FOR A GRADUATE STUDENT! SEEMS TO BE A REOCCURRING PROBLEM GM, YOU NEED TO DO THE RIGHT THING!

DRIVING ON HIGHWAY WITH WIPERS ON. WIPERS SUDDENLY WHIPPED TO THE LEFT AND STOPPED. WIPER MOTOR RUNS BUT WIPERS DO NOT OPERATE. ALMOST CAUSED ACCIDENT.

TONIGHT, WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE DURING A TORRENTIAL DOWNPOUR, MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED COMPLETELY DURING OPERATION AS I WAS PASSING BY A SEMI. I COULD NOT SEE AND HAD TO PULL OVER ALMOST IMMEDIATELY. THIS ISSUE HAD OCCURRED IN THE PAST, BUT THEY STARTED WORKING AGAIN ONCE THE WEATHER CLEARED UP. THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS SAME ISSUE WITH THE 2013 EQUINOX. WHY NOT THE 2011 MODEL?

TRANSMISSION DIED ON MY WIPER BLADES CAUSING BAD VISIBILITY AND WAS UNABLE TO DRIVE IT DUE TO IT SNOWING OUT. I THEN HAD TO BRING IT TO A DEALER SHIP DEPAULA CHEVORLET WITH NO WIPERS AND PAY $350 TO HAVE THEM REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. THERE IS A RECALL ON THE 2013 WHY NOT MINE A 2011 AWD CHEVY EQUINOX LT? THIS HAPPENED I WANT TO SAY AT THE END OF FEBRUARY BEGINNING OF MARCH DURING A BLIZZARD IN UPSTATE NY WHILE DRIVING TO PICK UP MY DAUGHTER.

I WAS DRIVING IN A RAINSTORM AND THE WIPERS QUIT. THE REPAIR WAS $499. I LIVE IN FEAR THAT IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN ON A BUSIER HIGHWAY. I'N NOT SURE OF THE EXACT DATE.

THE WIPERS SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING WHILE DRIVING UNDER A TORRENTIAL DOWNPOUR AND COULDN'T SEE A THING. THERE IS CURRENTLY A RECALL FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE BUT ONLY IN CANADA.

DRIVING WHILE IT WAS RAINING WINDSHIELD WIPERS WERE GOING ALL OF A SUDDEN THEY WENT WAY PAST WHERE THEY NORMALLY STOP AND COULDN'T SEE THE ROAD TRIED TURNING THEM OFF AND ON NOTHING HAPPENED HAD TO HANG MY HEAD OUT THE WINDOW TO FIND A PLACE TO PULL OVER TO SAFETY BECAUSE IT WAS AT NIGHT TIME AND COULDN'T SEE IF ANYTHING WAS COMING OR IF I WAS GOING TO RUN OFF IN A DITCH AND HAD MY LITTLE GIRL IN THE BACK SEAT TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE BUT ONCE I GOT OUT LOOKED AT THEM WAS ABLE TO MOVE THEM BY HAND BACK INTO POSITION BUT STILL WOULDN'T WORK YOU COULD HEAR THE MOTOR MOVING INSIDE BUT WIPERS WOULDN'T AT ALL IM THANK FUL WHEN THIS HAPPENED I WASN'T ON THE INTERSTATE AND WAS ONLY GOING LIKE 40 MPH WITH IT RAINING BUT WIPES NEVER GAVE A SIGN PREVIOUSLY ANYTHING WAS WRONG THEY HAVE ALWAYS WORKED FINE THERE WAS NO REASON FOR THIS VEHICLE TO DO THIS IM A CHEVY PERSON AND HAVE STOOD MY IT BUT THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY WITH IT POURING DOWN RAIN. *TR

AFTER ONLY 5 YEARS OF USE, I BELIEVE THAT THE BLENDER DOOR HAS STUCK IN THE CLOSED POSITION AND THE FRONT AND DRIVER-PASSENGER SIDE WINDOWS HAVE FOGGED UP TO THE POINT THAT DRIVER CANNOT CONTINUE DRIVING. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SITUATION THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE TO PREVENT A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. VEHICLE WAS MOVING WHILE ON A CITY STREET.

WHILE DRIVING 50+ MPH ON A BUSY LOCAL HIGHWAY, THE WIPER TRANSMISSION STOPPED WORKING AND THE WIPER BLADES STOPPED IN AN UPWARD POSITION COMPLETELY BLOCKING VISIBILITY! THIS WAS CONFIRMED BY A MECHANIC AND THIS PART WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED.
