Description of the problem | Wipes stopped working when driving in the middle of a rain storm. This almost caused multiple accidents. This was on a city street in heavier traffic with many stops along the way. After doing a research of this problem, it appears this is a consistent problem with chevy equinox but only the 2013 has been recalled in us. In canada, they have all been recalled. This is a huge safety hazard that is clearly a manufacturer defect and should be addressed by gm. However, gm has failed to respond to multiple inquiries. |
