2015 CHEVROLET EQUINOX Complaints

TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE DURING A TORRENTIAL RAIN STORM. THE WIPERS WERE ON HIGH SPEED. THE WIPERS STARTED TO RUN ERRATICALLY. BOUNCED A FEW TIMES ON THE WINDSHIELD BREAKING IT. THEN THE WIPERS CAME TO REST HANGING OFF THE DRIVERS SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THIS FAILURE OF AN ESSENTIAL SAFETY SYSTEM SHOULD BE ANALYZED. DUE TO LUCK OR DRIVING SKILL THIS EQUIPMENT FAILURE RESULTED IN NO ACCIDENT OR INJURY. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR AT MY COST.

WHILE DRIVING IN DOWNPOUR, MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING. DRIVING 65 ON THE HIGHWAY IN A DOWNPOUR WITH NO WIPERS IS DANGEROUS AND I ALMOST CRASHED A FEW TIMES. THE MOTOR WAS FINE. IT WAS THE ASSEMBLY TRANSMISSION THAT KEPT POPPING OFF THE MOTOR THAT WAS THE PROBLEM. WHEN I HAD IT REPLACED, THE MECHANIC SHOWED ME, IT SLIPPED OFF SO EASILY, IT'S NUTS THAT IT LASTED THE 2 YEARS I'VE HAD THE CAR. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS IN CAN, WHY NOT IN THE US? I HAD MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR. WE COULD HAVE CRASHED AND SERIOUSLY BEEN INJURED OR KILLED. AGAIN, THE PART DID NOT BREAK. IT SIMPLE MALFUNCTIONED. IT'S A BALL/JOINT TYPE SYSTEM. MUST BE BETTER. DO BETTER CHEVY. I DEFEND YOUR BRAND DAILY. DON'T MAKE ME REGRET IT. JUST DO BETTER. THEN I CALL CHEVY ABOUT REPLACING - I'M TOLD IT WILL COST UPWARDS OF $600. TO REPLACE A FAULTY PART?! THIS CAN'T BE NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. I HAD MY 4 YEAR OLD VW JETTA FOR 10 YEARS (14 YEAR OLD CAR) BEFORE I SOLD IT AND DIDN'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THE WIPER BLADES OR ASSEMBLY ONCE. I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW IT WAS A THING UNTIL THIS HAPPENED. VERY SAD. I HOPE YOU RECALL THIS PART ASAP. PEOPLE CAN SERIOUSLY BE HURT. TRY DRIVING IN A DOWNPOUR AND HAVE NO WIPERS, WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY WITH YOUR KIDS IN THE CAR.

DRIVING IN THE RAIN TODAY AND THE WIPERS JUST STOPPED WORKING AND WOULD NOT WORK. I HAD TO PULL OVER AND TURN OFF THE CAR TO SEE IF THEY WOULD COME BACK ON, BUT THEY WOULDN'T IT WAS RAINING REALLY HARD THIS COULD HAVE BEEN BAD

DURING A HEAVY RAIN, THE DRIVER SIDE WIPER SUDDENLY SWUNG PAST THE STOPPING POINT OF THE EDGE OF THE WINDSHIELD AND FORCED THE WIPER MOTOR ARMS AND BUSHINGS TO BREAK APART. THE FORCE DESTROYED THE BUSHINGS AND BEND THE MOTOR ARMS AS WELL AS STRIPPED THE THREADS BETWEEN THE WIPER MOTOR MOUNT AND THE WIPER ARM

THE WINDSHEILD MOTOR BROKE WHILE USING WIPERS. IT WAS REPAIRED USING A GMC PART AND THE WIPER MOTOR BROKE AGAIN. REPAIRED WERE THE BALL JOINTS IN THE WIPER MODULE I WAS DRIVING ON A INTERSTATE AT THE SPEED OF 70MPH WHEN THE WIPER MOTOR QUIT WORKING. I HAD TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND WAIT FOR THE RAID TO STOP. THE RAIN WAS HEAVY.

CAR WAS PARKED, STARTED MOTOR, IT WAS RAINING, STARTED WIPERS, COULD HEAR THE WIPER MOTOR WORKING, WIPERS FAILED TO WORK, HAD TO TAKE IT TO A DEALER, COST TO REPAIR $283, SEEMS LIKE THIS IS STARTING TO BE REPORTED MORE, SHOULD BE RECALLED AS MENTIONED IN OTHER COMPLAINTS

PURCHASED MY EQUINOX A YEAR AGO JUNE 2019. THE CAR WAS DOING FINE UP UNTIL ABOUT THE 2ND MONTH MARK I HAD IT. THE CAR BEGAN TO HAVE A VERY ROUGH AND JERKY STOP. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG. I GOT A OIL CHANGE AT LEAST EVERY MONTH DUE TO MY JOB AND HAVING TO DRIVE FREQUENTLY. IN MARCH I NOTICED MY CAR WAS IDLING ROUGH BUT DROVE OK. WHILE LEAVING WORK I WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT MY CAR STALLED AND THE ENGINE COMPLETELY TURNED OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. I TURNED IT OFF AND RESTARTED IT. COUPLE DAYS LATER IT DID IT TWICE AS I WAS BACKING OUT INTO TRAFFIC. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND MY CAR WAS COMPLETELY EMPTY OF OIL EVEN THOUGH I HAD JUST GOTTEN AN OIL CHANGE. I NOW HAVE TO DO OIL CONSUMPTION TEST EVERY 2K MILES. MY CAR STILL SHIFTS ROUGH AT ACCELERATION AND DURING DOWNSHIFTING. I HAD TO HAVE MY CAMSHAFT SOLENOID SENSOR REPLACED AS WELL. MY CAR HAS 55K MILES.

DRIVING ABOUT 40MPH IN HEAVY RAIN WITH WIPERS ON. IT THEN SOUNDED LIKE I HIT SOMETHING IN THE ROAD. I THEN LOOK TO NOTICE MY WIPERS WAS NO LONGER WORKING. I AM FINDING THIS IS HAPPENING WITH MANY 2015 CHEVY EQUINOX. WHY THE CUSTOMER HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE IT FIXED.

I WAS TRAVELLING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 60 MPH IN HEAVY RAIN WHEN MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS SUDDENLY SHUT DOWN AND WOULD NO LONGER WORK. I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY SLOW DOWN AND STOP, BUT THIS COULD HAVE ENDED MUCH DIFFERENTLY AS I WAS UNABLE TO SEE ANYTHING! THIS APPEARS TO BE THE SAME PROBLEM AS MANY HAVE REPORTED WITH THE BEARINGS ON THE WIPER TRANSMISSION CORRODING AND COMING APART.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH IN THE RAIN, THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO ADJUST THE WIPER SPEEDS. AFTER DOING SO, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS DETACHED FROM THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO WALKER CHEVROLET (3940 CAROTHERS PKWY, FRANKLIN, TN 37067, (615) 538-5184) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT NEW WINDSHIELD WIPERS NEEDED TO BE INSTALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,600.
