Description of the problem	I was driving on the freeway, going 60 mph in the pnw. It was dumping rain and i was in the passing lane when my windshield wipers just stopped working. I had my 1 year old in the backseat and all i could see was all the cars ahead of me slammed on their brakes. My windshield was glowing red from the break lights. I have no idea how i didn't crash my car or hit the person in front of me. I was so close to them. I rolled down my window and had to literally stick half the upper portion of my body out the window to see a little bit. Thank goodness, i was able to move over 4 lanes (after forcing my way through, i had no choice because i could not see). Everyone was honking at me like i was the biggest jerk, but if i didn't move over i was going to kill us or someone else who was driving. I am seriously lucky to be alive. Not shocking, i lookup the issue online and chevy knows about this problem and has done nothing. Nothing! This is not the only time chevy has done nothing about this equinox having problems. It also has an oil consumption problem. This car has cost me thousands of dollars, and now it didn't just give me a huge mechanical bill, it almost cost me my life and my sons. I'm so defeated at this point. This car is not reliable for someone with children or anyone who is living in the pnw where it rains constantly. Super thankful to be alive.
