Consumer Description

WHILE RIDING ON THE HIGHWAY IN A STORM THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING FOR MY WIFE. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, MY 9 YEAR OLD SON AND 5 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WERE IN THE CAR. THE 2013 EQUINOX HAS BEEN RECALLED FOR THE SAME THING BUT IT SEEMS LIKE CHEVY IS WAITING FOR A CASUALTY BEFORE DOING THE RIGHT THING. THERE ARE MULTIPLE CASES OF THIS HAPPENING.
