On 1/16/20, i used my windshield wipers to clear snow off of my windshield while the car was stationary. it wiped correctly a few times, but on the fourth wipe, i heard a 'thwack' type of noise, and the wipers stopped in an upright position by the driver's side. i tried to turn the wipers on again, but they would not move. i manually pushed the wipers down into the resting position, and then tried to turn the wipers on again. they still wouldn't move. i have tried turning the wipers on each day since the 16th, and each time, the wipers will not move. this is an extreme safety issue.
February 2018 both of my wipers stopped working in the middle of a storm and i almost lost control of my vehicle with my kids in the car. i took my car to pep boys and they ordered the parts to replace in order for my wipers to work again. here i am in december 2019 almost two years later with the same problem. the wipers in this vehicle are defective and someone is seriously going to get injured or killed if they do not recall the wipers for faulty motors that will quit working at any time. i am scared to drive this vehicle if it will possibly rain because i do not want to put my kids or my life in danger. something needs to be done and gm needs to take responsibility for this huge issue!
While the wipers were in the fastest mode they suddenly stopped moving and they would not lower back into position. i can't get the wipers to operate at all. i can't operate the vehicle if it's raining because i can't wipe the rain off.

I was driving down the interstate with my daughter in my car in heavy traffic with construction all around and it began to rain heavily so i turned on the wipers and the wipers went up and stopped right in front of my face, i couldn't see anything. this is a very serious safety issue people could have been killed! how does this happen with no warning light or alarm or anything. i was terrified!

Driver side wiper stopped working
I was driving in heavy rain and the wiper went past the driver side windshield and just stopped working. i had to pull over and wait till rain stopped to drive home. the motor sounds like it's working but wipers will not move.
Car will stop after pressing the break. wipers no longer work. now car won't start due to timing belt
Tl* the contact called on behalf of his spouse who owns a 2010 chevrolet equinox. while driving approximately 70 mph in inclement weather, the windshield wipers became inoperable. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the transmission wiper linkage fractured; however, the entire windshield wiper motor needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer and dealer were not notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 132,000. the vin was not available.
My husband and i were headed home from ashtabula during a heavy rain storm on a state highway 528 n of parkman, traveling approx 45 mph, when the wiper blades abruptly quit working! we were in amish territory (as in the possibility of approaching horse-drawn buggies) and our visibility was instantly reduced to zero. i did some research on line and discovered that this is a common complaint w/ the2010 equinox and it is due to the poor design (plastic bushings).
While driving on the interstate in rain, the windshield wipers stopped working. the windshield wipers stopped at the top of their rotation, impeding view, and no longer moved. after returning home, having to drive slowly due to hard rain without wipers, i turned the wipers on and noticed they still didn't move. i got out of the car and walked over to windshield to see if i could hear the motor working. i could hear the motor but saw no movement of the wipers. after researching this problem, i found out that the linkage bushings are under investigation and i wanted to include my complaint so chevy issues a recall.
Me and my wife were driving when it started to rain. so i turned on the windshield wipers. then it started to pour down and it was hard to see. when i turned the wipers on high speed within a few minutes they stopped working. that's when i noticed that the wipers were stuck in the up position. i could not see anything i think god i was able to pull over.
Wipers stopped working. wiper transmission bushing failure. driving during rainstorm wipers failed.
