THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, IS ON I HAVE 50,000 MILES IT SHUT OFF WHEN U COME TO STOP OR IDLE.. PULLED CODE CAME BACK AS P0010,& P0011, CAMSHAFT POSITION ACTUATOR . THIS CAR HAS BEEN EXCELLENT CARED FOR. UNEXCEPTIONABLE.. CAR WAS IN MOTION, ON THE STREETS, HIGHWAY S. CARS BLOWING FOR ME TO PULL OFF. HAVE TO DRIVE WITH FLASHER TO KEEP CARS BACK TO KEEP FROM GETTING REAR ENDED.

AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY 2 WEEKS AGO IN THE RAIN, MY DRIVER SIDE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WERE GOING BACK AND FORTH AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE DRIVER SIDE WIPER GOT STUCK AND STOPPED WORKING. I ENDED UP GETTING IT FIXED AND IT WAS $300 TO REPAIR. I ALSO SAW AN ARTICLE ABOUT HOW THIS WAS COMMON ON OLDER MODELS OF THE SAME CAR. UNFORTUNATELY SINCE I HAVE A 2015, I JUST MISSED THE RECALL NOTICE, EVEN THOUGH I APPARENTLY HAD THE SAME ISSUE WITH MINE.

WHILE DRIVING IN THE RAIN IN MY 2015 EQUINOX ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING CREATING AN EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS CONDITION. NEEDED TO HAVE THE WIPER TRANSMISSION REPLACED BY THE DEALER AT A COST $380.00.

I EAS FRIVONG 2 PASSENGERS FOR LYFT AND IT STARTED RAINING VERY HARD.I TURNED ON MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS ON THE FASTEST SETTING BECAUSE I COULD NOT SEE WHERE I WAS GOING AND I HEARED THE WIPERS BANGING HARD AS THEY WERE WIPING THE RAIN AWAY SO I CAN SEE THE ROAD WHEN SUDDENLY MY WIPERS STOPPED EN ROUTE TO MY FIRST ADDRESS.MY FIRST CLIENT LIVED 10 MINUTES AWAY IN RUSH HOUR BUMPER TO BUMPER TRAFFIC.I GOT SO SCARED AND MY CLIENTS WERE EVEN MORE SCARED BECAUSE I HAD TO DRIVE THEM HOME WITH MY HEAD STICKING OUT OF THE WINDOW.AFTER DROPPING THEM OFF SAFELY IN A TERRIBLE RAIN STORM MY WIPERS STOPPED WORKING WHILE I WAS DRIVING.WHEN I LOOKED INTO THEM IT WAS MY WIPER MOTOR AND LINKAGE THAT BROKE OFF AND STOPPED THEM FROM WIPING THE HEAVY RAIN.LUCKY I HAVE SOME KNOWLEDGE WITH THIS PART BECAUSE IT HAPPENED TO ME BEFORE IN A DIFFERENT VEHICLE,SO I BOUGHT A USED SET FROM THE JUNK YARD TO PUT ON MY NEW CAR.BUT I WOULD LIKE FOR A BRAND NEW SET PUT IN MY VEHICLE BEFORE THE USED ONE BREAKS ON ME.I ALSO HAD A PROBLEM WITH AN AIR CONDITIONING/HEAT PART THAT BROKE INSIDE THE SAME VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. WHILE DRIVING IN THE RAIN, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS SEIZED. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE WINDSHIELD WIPER ARMS PULLED AWAY FROM THE WINDSHIELD AND THE WINDSHIELD MOTOR REMAINED ACTIVATED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN UNKNOWN DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE WIPER TRANSMISSION FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 8-4808902384. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 46,000.

AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT HAD TO DRIVE EXTREMELY SLOWLY AND PARKED THE VEHICLE DUE TO THE FAILURE. SHOTTENKIRK CHEVROLET (755 W HICKMAN RD, WAUKEE, IA 50263, 1-(877) 291-9490) INSPECTED THAT THE CHAIN THAT LINKED THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS TO THE MOTOR WAS FRACTURED. THE CHAIN WAS REPLACED.

ENGINE STALLED SEVERAL TIMES WHILE DRIVING AND JUST SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO HAVE CODES CHECKED IT SHOWED CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR, SO HAD THAT REPLACED AND THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING AFTER THAT WAS REPLACED AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT APPEARED ON AGAIN. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP TO BE TOLD THAT THE CAMSHAFT POSITION ACTUATOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED WHICH COST ME ABOUT $350.00. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE CHEVY EQUINOX'S AND THEY NEED TO BE RECALLED FOR IT BECAUSE IT IS VERY DANGEROUS TO BE DRIVING AND YOUR VEHICLE JUST STOPS WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY.
