I'm so tired of this 2012 Chevy Equinox. I had to have the Motor replaced soon after I brought it, because it ate oil and blew the rear master seal. The engine light comes on after the replacement motor has been in. The car has gone through so many wheel bearings over the time of ownership, its bull** and now the damn window wipers stopped working when I was driving. Took it apart and found a s* ass design. This car sucks and CHEVROLET you should be ashamed of yourself. No one wants to fuss up and take responsibility and get recalls or refund money for this lousy piece of s*** you call a car. Thanks Chevy.

Update from Feb 4, 2020: Another issue I now have with this car, the engine light is on giving a P420 code and it won't pass inspection. This is pointing at the catalytic converter, they are saying I need to replace it. Do you have any idea the cost of this? It's unbelievable...

Driving to work in rainstorm, turned wipers on high during downpour and wipers stopped working. Could not see, pulled over and waited till rain let up a bit and drove home as I was about 12 miles from home. Very scary driving home using side view mirror and watching the fog line to get home. Than goodness of little traffic. Turns out that one of the plastic bushings wore out due to friction and disengaged from the mount. Had the bushing replaced by mechanic neighbor and appears the wiper transmission is working. How long the fix will last is unknown as the fit is not as tight as the remaining 2 bushings..

On my way to work in heavy rain at 5:30 - 6:00am. Rain got real heavy and flipped my wiper speed to high. The wipers jammed on the left side of the window. I was driving in the left lane (Fast Lane). I put my hazard lights on. I had to cross over 3 lanes of traffic in the dark and with torrential downpour to get to the breakdown lane. I knew I was near the breakdown lane when I hit the rumble strip. I got out to move the wipers off the windshield frame. They did go down but did not work. Very scary. I carefully pulled back out onto the highway. I was about 9 miles from work. At times the rain was like a river going across my windshield. going slower was worse than going 45 - 50 mph. while trying to see the lines or following other drivers, I made it to work quite shaken to say the least. I did a search for wiper issues. There are a few. All for Equinoxes' made in Canada. No fix known. They are going to wait until someone gets killed. Luckily it wasn't me today. I must have had an Angel in the passenger seat.

I was driving on interstate 80 in a deluge. My wipers just stopped! I luckily was in the slow lane so I was able to get to the shoulder. I changed the relay in the pouring rain with another that was the same. No help. Then I realized that the wiper motor was running and knew that the problem was either the linkages or something else. I have been a mechanic my entire life and have never seen anything like this. I have not yet had the chance to remove the shroud to see what is wrong, but this is very dangerous. I am truly upset to see that this issue is not unique and even more upset to see that they have recalled 2013 cars for this here but in Canada they have recalled cars from 2010 to 2017. HOW can this possibly make sense!!!

First real snow, bad weather in Michigan when you need the wipers the most, just quit on the expressway. I stopped a couple times to clean the windshield, the wipers themselves were floppy could move them all across the windshield. Last thing I needed. Luckily after the big snow not a lot of cars on the road. I drive over an hour to get home from work, and that's working 12 hour shifts. Needless to say I was a wreck. I have had numerous things go wrong with this vehicle; motor, oil, exhaust. All are safety issues. they the (dealers, manufacturers) can listen to legitimate complaints, suck it up and fix the issues. What happened to customer service loyalties.....

was turning onto a major heavy traffic road,as I turned while we were having a heavy downpour storm wipers were on and all of a sudden stopped almost hit car in front of me because I couldn't see.Had to pull off road til it let up stranded there for 30 minutes.I have 59,000 miles on car have never had this problem on any car I owned.Contacted Chev dealership Sweeneys and was told by Keith in service dept. it was more than likely the motor went or the transmission on the wiper motor to bring in .Asked how much said he couldn't give price till they looked at it.Asked if they ever heard of this before and he said yes they burn up.Googled problem and find out GM is recalling 2013 Chev equinox as of 8-4-16 for this very problem.I will be calling GM over this since it just occurred on 9-8-16.Asked Keith if I could go to Auto Zone maybe a fuse he said to go ahead but he doubts it is it.Auto Zone Jim was very nice went out in the pouring rain checked all fuses for the wipers and told me fuses are good it is the motor and the motor costs 175.00.

Was driving 60-65 mph on a 4 lane highway in a heavy rainstorm when the wipers quit midstride. Luckily there wasn't anyone behind me as I had to slow rather quickly and try to get to the side of the road since I couldn't see! This could have caused an accident had the timing or traffic been any different.

Update from Feb 28, 2017: So today I went out for lunch and my wipers wouldn't work again.......... Last time they replaced the transmission for the wipers. Guessing it's the same thing this time. It's been less than 20,00 miles.
