Consumer Description

While operating 2014 Chevy Equinox owned by my wife's deceased father and now owned by his widow and my wife's mother, while approaching a stop light in the rain with the wipers on high do to the rain volume, The wipers suddenly stopped functioning and never started again. Fortunately my spouse was able to get it of the road safely and remained stranded for about an hour until the rain subsided. She was traveling with her 75 year old mother ( Owner of the vehicle mentioned) whom isn't in the greatest of health and two small children. Had she been traveling on the interstate even at a reduced speed to match the condition, all could have been catastrophic and we would be talking at this point through my lawyer. After researching several forums, this seems to be a systemic issue and yet there still is not a recall to hold the auto manufacture accountable for this problem. Although they have recognized it in the 2013 models. How many people have to die before action is taken?
