Consumer Description

The windshield wipers have abruptly stopped working numerous times within the past two years. When met with little resistance, such as normal precipitation, the motor stops working. It is available for inspection. My safety and the safety of my children were at risk when this happened on the highway in the middle of a blizzard. This has also happened during heavy rain and I was forced to pull over until it was dry. While other years of the same make and model have been recalled the 2017 Equinox has not.
