Driving down the turnpike in the rain, wipers running on high. Suddenly wipers stop working. Fortunately was only a mile from a rest stop, was able to get off the road and wait out the rainstorm. Took car to dealer, turned out windshield wiper transmission had failed and had to be replaced. *jb

I purchased a 2010 chevy equinox on 4/1/2013. I have since had a few issues with the vehicle. I had the timing belt replaced due to knocking in the engine. I thank the good lord that it was under a recall. I have also been experiencing oil loss. I have my oil changed on a regular basis and it has been using oil between those changes.

While driving in heavy rain with the windshield wipers on high, the windshield wiper transmission failed and the wipers disconnected from the drive and stopped all the way left with the driver side wiper hanging off the vehicle and visible from the driver side window. With no visibility from the front window, made an emergency stop to exit the expressway almost causing an accident with the cars around me. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2010 chevrolet equinox. The contact stated that the defroster failed and the interior heat would not operate. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer for inspection but they were unable to diagnose the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The approximate failure mileage was 24,000.

The defrost on my equinox does not clear the windshield but causes worse conditions when it is turned on making it extremely difficult to see. I have to keep my windows down and stick my head out of the windows to see in cold weather. I am told that my equinox does not fall under recall # 09298. This is an extreme hazard! *tr
