Consumer Description

DURING HEAVY RAIN STORM WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY TRAVELING @ 65 MPH THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS BOTH STOPPED WORKING. THE ARM THAT LINKS THE MOTOR TO THE WIPER TRANSMISSION HAD COMPLETELY DISCONNECTED. VERY DANGEROUS AS IT HAPPENED AT HIGHWAY SPEED DURING RUSH HOUR. GENERAL MOTORS CALLS THE PART THAT FAILED WIPER TRANSMISSION. WHEN I SPOKE WITH THE CHEVROLET PARTS DEPT EMPLOYEE HE STATED ITS A VERY COMMON FAILURE AND ITS THE EXACT PART THAT IS RECALLED ON 2013 EQUINOX.
