2016 CHEVROLET EQUINOX Complaints

I WAS DRIVING IN VERY HEAVY RAIN ON THE HIGHWAY DURING A TIME WHERE THERE WAS LOW VISIBILITY AND MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING. I HAD 3 CHILDREN IN THE CAR WITH ME (2 WERE IN A CAR SEATS). ONCE I WAS ABLE TO GET OVER TO THE SHOULDER I CALLED ONSTAR/ CHEVY ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE ONLY WAY THEY COULD ASSIST WAS TO TOW MY CAR TO A DEALERSHIP WHICH IN REALITY WASN'T POSSIBLE BECAUSE THE 3 KIDS AND I WERE NOT GOING TO FIT IN THE TRUCK WITH THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER. SO THE KIDS AND I WAITED IN THE CAR ON THE SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY DURING HEAVY TRAFFIC UNTIL THE RAIN STOPPED SO THAT I COULD DRIVE MY CAR TO A SAFER PLACE..

CAR DIED WHILE IN REVERSE, CAR PLACED IN PARK THEN TURNED OFF. THEN TURNED BACK ON PLACED IN DRIVE THEN CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. WHILE DRIVING THE CAR IT JUST SHUTS OFF. THE RPM GOES TO ZERO AND SHUTS OFF.

WHILE DRIVING DURING A HEAVY RAIN FALL, MY WIPERS JUST STOPPED WORKING. I HAD TO PULL OVER AND WAIT ABOUT 20 MINUTES FOR THE RAIN TO CLEAR SO I COULD DRIVE HOME. VERY UNSAFE. CHEVY NEEDS TO PUT A RECALL OUT FOR THIS AND FIX IT.

WIPERS STOPPED WORKING IN HEAVY DOWN POURS ALMOST CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT ON THE INTERSTATE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH IN A RAIN STORM, THE FRONT WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED OPERATING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE WIPER MOTOR FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED AND THE FAILURE WAS REMEDIED. THE LOCAL DEALER (WILLIAMS CHEVROLET, 2 AUTOMOTIVE BLVD, ELKTON, MD) WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE, BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 62,000.

PVC TUBE FROZE CAUSE REAR SEAL TO BREAK CAUSING ENGINE TO LOSE ALL OIL. LUCKILY I WAS PARKED AND NOTICED THE OIL. NO WARNING LIGHTS OR SENSORS LIT UP. WHEN TALKING TO DEALER AND OTHERS MANY EQUINOX THIS YEAR HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE, EVEN THO GENERAL MOTORS IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE IT WAS STILL MY RESPONSIBILITY TO PAY 1800.00 TO FIX IT

DRIVING 75 MPH IN POURING RAIN AND WINDSHIELD WIPERS JUST STOPPED. MADE IT TO SIDE OF ROAD BUT HAD TO BE TOWED HOME DUE TO WIPERS STOPPING

I WAS TRAVELING IN INCLEMENT WEATHER (RAINSTORM) AND SUDDENLY THE WINDSHIELD WIPER LINKAGE FAILED, CAUSING FAILURE OF THE DRIVERS SIDE WIPER. I WAS TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS (55+ MPH) AT THE TIME ON I 270 IN COLUMBUS, OH. INSTANTLY LOST VISIBILITY AND LUCKILY WAS ABLE TO NAVIGATE TO THE BERM WITHOUT BEING INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. TRAFFIC WAS HEAVY AT THE TIME. THIS IS THE SECOND CHEVROLET EQUINOX THAT I EXPERIENCED THIS SAME ISSUE WITH, THE PRIOR VEHICLE WAS A 2013 EQUINOX. THIS ALSO HAPPENED TO TWO OF MY CO-WORKERS WHO DRIVE CHEVY EQUINOXES.

THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS FOR OUR COMPANY VEHICLE (2016 CHEVROLET EQUINOX) HAD PARTIALLY FAILED ONE DAY PRIOR TO BOTH WINDSHIELD WIPERS FAILING. YOU CANNOT USE THEM AT ALL, EVEN WHEN TRYING TO RUN THEM, NOTHING HAPPENS. NO OTHER PREVIOUS ISSUE HAS OCCURRED TO CAUSE THE WIPERS FROM FAILING.
