This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
I was driving on the interstate, in the pouring down rain. Then my windshield wipers quit working. They were making a sound, but would not move. I could have wrecked and gotten hurt. I have only had this vehicle for one month, when this happened. It only had 80,000 miles on it. There is apparently a recall on this for specific cheverlot equinoxes made in 2015, which if this vehicle is a 2016, would have been made in that time frame. Will you please help me?
Wipers just stopped working during rain storm. Internet shows 1000's of the same issue going back to 2010 at least. Wiper module is what they call it.$325 per car to fix. "? bushings that hold arm break. Why if this many people for this many years have this problem does Chevrolet not change the part.or buy better parts. This is a scam to make money in the service department. We were told by the service dept. You should never run your wipers on high or it will break again ?????what the ??" this is my first and last Chevy I will ever buy...I do not like being scammed and will never be by GM again !!!!
The rear window exploded on its own into thousands of tiny pieces, although it remained intact until I opened and closed the car doors, then it fell apart into the back end of vehicle. I was sitting stationary in the car with another passenger in an empty parking lot. Engine was off for 5 minutes. Outside air temp 48, inside 65. No bullet hole, no rock mark or any other external cause.
This safety problem could cause an accident. I am 5'4'' and sit upright with the correct distance from the steering wheel and pedals. When driving or sitting the front view towards the right and somewhat also when looking left, is obstructed by the side mirrors. Looking to the sides towards each side's mirror (not into the mirror but to see cross traffic when crossing an intersection or turning into a parking spot) the view of oncoming traffic or pedestrians is in a blind spot. The view is blocked by the side mirror and the arm of the mirror attaching the mirror to the car. Also the wideness of the frame of the front window on each side to accommodate the airbag contributes to the blocked viewing too. This has led to me nearly hitting someone crossing the street and nearly being T-boned by a car that was completely invisible coming from the right side for a few seconds until it passed out of the blocked area. I called my dealer and there are no alternate side mirrors to purchase or any cameras that they knew of for this front side blind spot. (this is not the blind spot that cameras are used for the see slightly behind the driver.)
