NHTSA Complaint #11032833 — 2011 CHEVROLET EQUINOX

10-10-2017 - WHILE DRIVING HOME DURING A HEAVY RAINSTORM, WIPERS GOING FULL SPEED, WIPERS STOPPED WITH ONE WIPER GOING OFF THE LEFT SIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD, OTHER WIPER STOPPED IN MY DRIVING VIEW. ONCE I WAS ABLE TO GET PARKED, I LAID THE WIPER BLADES DOWN, TRIED THE GET THEM TO WORK BUT ONLY HEARD THE MOTOR RUN, WIPERS NOT MOVING. HAD THEM CHECKED OUT BY A MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD THAT I NEEDED A NEW WIPER TRANSMISSION. THIS ONE HAD A WORN OUT PART THAT WOULD CONTINUE TO POP OUT OF SOCKET IF USED. I'VE READ OF OTHER COMPLAINTS OF THIS HAPPENING. GM NEEDS TO MAKE THIS A RECALL. IT'S VERY DANGEROUS WHEN IT HAPPENS. GM WIPER MOTOR AND TRANSMISSION IS ROUGHLY $150.00 AT THE DEALERSHIP PLUS THEIR LABOR COST. THIS SHOULD NOT WEAR OUT SO SOON ON A 2011 MODEL.
