My defrosters will not work. I cannot see as this is the first time it has snowed this season. I check my VIN for a recalls and it says no there is no recall. I am really scared to drive it in this weather and I really don't have the money to have it fixed, and don't think I should have to pay as it is something evidently wrong with the equinoxes. I feel Chevy should expand the recall for this as it is a know problem. This is a serious problem as I am not able to drive it in this cold weather and fear for my safety. I know that Chevy probably doesn't care but its something that really should be looked into.
