2010 CHEVROLET EQUINOX Complaints

WHILE DRIVING DURING A RAINSTORM THE WIPERS STOPPED WORKING. CHECKED THE FUSES, BUT ALL FUSES WERE GOOD. THE WINDSHIELD WIPER FLUID WAS WORKING BUT NOT THE WIPERS THEMSELVES. AFTER GETTING THE VEHICLE BACK HOME TOOK A LOOK AT THE WIPER ASSEMBLY AND ONE OF THE BUSHINGS BROKE OFF. HAD TO REPLACE THE BUSHING TO GET THE WIPERS TO WORK AGAIN.

MY IGNITION WHEN I TUEN MY KEY BACK TO TURN OFF MY CAR IT TRIES TO START BACK UP AGAIN BY ITSELF IT HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 7 OR 8 TIMES NOW. I HAVE BEEN ASKING AROUND WHAT THAT COOLD BE AND I GET IN RESPONSE THAT IT COULD BE THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM OR THE IGNITION. AND I STILL HAVE 3 YRS TO PAY FOR THIS CAR

WIPERS STOPPED WORKING DUE TO A WORN BALL JOINT ON WIPER MOTOR. IT DOES SHOW A RECALL FOR NEWER ONES BUT NOT FOR THE 2010 YEAR. VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON A STATE HIGHWAY ALMOST CAUSED DRIVER TO RUN INTO THE DITCH, HEAVY RAIN.

I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK. IT STARTED TO RAIN, SO I TURNED ON THE WIPERS, AND THEY SWIPED A FEW TIMES AND STUCK IN THE UPWARD LEFT POSITION AND STOPPED. I WAS ON A STATE HIGHWAY, AT THE TIME, AND FOUND IT EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO SEE TO DRIVE. THE WIPERS HAVE NOT WORKED SINCE THAT DAY. UPON CHECKING ONLINE, I'VE FOUND THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM AND HAPPENS TO OTHERS EXACTLY THE SAME WAY IT HAPPENED WITH MY WIPERS. THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE CANADIAN MODEL FOR 2013, BUT HAVE NOT FOUND ONE FOR 2010 AND THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON ALL OF THE WIPERS FOR THIS MODEL. THE ARMS ON THE TRANSMISSION COME APART AND STOPS THE WIPERS FROM WORKING. NO WARNING......THEY JUST STOP. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. AND TO ADD TO THE PROBLEM...... TO REPAIR IT, THE MORE APPROPRIATE OPTION IS TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION/MOTOR ASSEMBLY AND THAT PART IS EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE, AROUND $300. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL BY CHEVY, AS IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND CAN CAUSE TERRIBLE ACCIDENTS IN THE BLINDING RAIN. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.

DRIVTNG 45 MILE HR SHOUDER MADE NOISE STOPPED AT TRAFFIC WOULD NOT MOVE CALLED AAA CARS WERE DRIVING AROUND ME RAMP TRUCK TOWED CAR TO BEST TRANSMISSION SHOP CALL GM SAID NO WARRANTY ONLY HAS 75,000 MILES

2010 CHEVY EQUINOX WILL LOSE POWER AT ANY SPEED. I HAVE LOST POWER ON THE INTERSTATE AT 65MPH, LOCAL DRIVING AT 40MPH AS WELL AS STOPPING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. IT PRETTY MUCH JUST HAPPENS OUT OF THE BLUE ENDANGERING MY LIFE AS WELL AS THE VEHICLES AROUND ME. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL COME ON BUT DOES NOT STAY ON. IF I TURN THE VEHICLE OFF , IT WILL RESTART AND MAY RUN FINE FOR DAYS OR WEEKS AFTERWARD. I HAVE CONTACTED GM , BUT TO DATE HAVE NOT HAD THE ISSUE RESOLVED.
