I was driving on the highway and the windshield wipers stopped working in the middle of heavy rain and traffic. we had to pull off the highway with hazards and by sticking our heads out of the window.
On 1/18/2020, while driving during heavy rain, the wipers swung to the left during a cycle and stayed in the far left position. they did not cycle anymore and became loose and could be moved by hand in any direction. pulled off and got under hood and changed the fuse #29, with no avail. the wiper motor could be heard but would not cycle the wipers. very dangerous conditions in which to lose function of wipers.
My wipers just stop working in the middle.of wiping!!!!
Wiper blades stop working in mid stream
My wipers stopped working in the middle of a downpour. i took my car to be fixed and was told that the ball bearing in the wipers was completely worn out. i got that fixed. now 1 month later the exact same thing happened. i read that there was a recall on 2013 and older. i think there needs to be a wider recall to fix this problem.
Wiper transmission has broken 3 times in the last 12 months cost of $500 so far and i have appointment at garage again i was driving out of the parking lot, wipers were working, then a clunk and wipers quit
Car was in motion and wipers were in use during rain and wiper just stopped! while driving one evening in the rain, driver's side wiper abruptly stopped mid-wipe and stuck upright on the windshield. i was forced to pull over and inch along to a service center as visibility was severely limited. chevy dealer determined that the wiper motor and transmission had failed and that part recall had not yet been expanded to 2014 year in the us. i am furious to learn that the recall was expanded only to canada! besides the $350 i am out for the repair i am disappointed that gm is not doing the right thing. safety was the biggest factor in my decision to buy an equinox and with a teen driver in the house, a failure like this could have been catastrophic!!
Wipers suddenly stopped working in a snow/sleet storm while driving, wiper motor still running, wiper transmission broken. lucky no one was seriously hurt. wiper transmission should be recalled as this is a very serious defect.
Went out to start my car, i started it up my wipers took 2 swipes over the front windshield,. i didn't even hit the switch ? then they returned back down by base of windshield & never came back up to swipe my windshield again ? checked the fuse, it was fine ! i have yet to be able to use my car, do to this safety issue ?? what do i do ? was told that there is a recall investigation on the front windshield motor & arms ? i was setting idling in my driveway & warming up my car ? i am still unable to leave my driveway ? do to the wet, slushy weather & possibility of splashback on my windshield, that i couldn't clean off ? to allow me to see where i was going ? so, what do i do now ??n
While driving in the pouring down rain,aprox (45 mph) i had my wipers on high because it was raining really hard, all of a sudden they just stopped working. the arm on the drivers side kind of wrapped around the driver side of the car. i was able, by the grace of god to inch my way over on the shoulder from the fast lane. the wipers never would work again. i could hear the motor for them but they wouldn't move. next day(when luckily it was not raining and was dry) i was able to get it to weber chev. creve coeur and they worked me in their busy schedule. i was told it was the wiper transmission. there has already been a recall for this exact item for 367,800 terrains and equinoxes from 2013. there is an investigation for 2010-2016 recalls. this was a very dangerous situation i was in and luckily i was able to stick my head out the window in the pouring rain to inch my car a mile and a half home by way of the shoulder. please consider a recall for all from 2010-2016
Wipers stopped working suddenly on my way home from a local mall with 3 children in the car, in a snow squall. it was pretty scary i had to pull over on the highway for 45 minutes until it stopped snowing.i could hear the motor still working but nothing was moving. took to my mechanic to find out it need a new wiper transmission beacuse it had failed $370 bucks later their working again. clearly this is a problem that gm has not been able to correct and these vehicles should have been recalled as well.
The plastic cap that connects the wiper ball joint to the wiper control linkage on my 2014 chevrolet equinox broke during a rain while driving out of state. i was able to finish the last 10 or 12 miles of the trip by stopping every mile or two and operating the wipers by hand. ridiculous and dangerous. upon returning home i repaired the defect only to have it break again almost right away. i repaired it again, checking to be certain the repair parts were correct, they were, and this time it worked correctly for aprx a month, then a different cap and ball joint on the same mechanical part suffered the same failure. once again i repaired the damage, which this time worked for a couple of months, until this morning, 11/01/2019, when it again malfunctioned before i left my driveway. i see there have been a number of other people reporting this same issue, and there was a recall for this problem on the 2013 model; i feel this is a manufacturing issue as i have only ever had to address this malfunction one other time in my life on a 20+ year old vehicle. but even that ...

I was traveling on the interstate after dark in the rain at approximately 65 mph. i had my wipers set on high when they suddenly stopped working mid cycle. i could hear the wiper motor cycling but the wiper arms were not moving. i knew something was wrong with the linkage ( or transmission) from the motor to the wiper arms. the wiper transmission required replacing due to faulty bushings on the transmission links. the connecting arm fell off leaving the wipers inoperable.
