NHTSA Complaint #11245380 — 2012 CHEVROLET EQUINOX

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT NIGHT TIME DURING LIGHT RAIN. WITHOUT WARNING, BOTH WIPERS STOPPED IN THE UP POSITION. I TRIED TURNING THE WIPERS OFF AND BACK ON AND NOTHING HAPPENED. I TURNED THE WIPERS OFF AND GOT OFF THE NEXT EXIT AND PULLED INTO A SERVICE STATION TO GET UNDER SOME LIGHT. I TRIED TO MOVE THE WIPERS AND THEY WENT INTO THEIR RESTING POSITION. I THEN TURNED ON THE WIPERS AND COULD HEAR THE MOTOR RUNNING BUT THE WIPERS WERE NOT MOVING. FORTUNATELY, THE RAIN STOPPED AND I WAS ABLE TO COMPLETE MY TRIP HOME. JUST A FEW DAYS EARLIER, I DROVE THROUGH A VERY HEAVY RAIN STORM AND THANK THE LORD THAT THE WIPERS DIDN'T QUIT AT THAT TIME. I WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO SEE WHERE I WAS GOING.
