TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WINDSHIELD IS RECESSIVE. WHEN IT SNOWS AND THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS ARE ACTIVATED, A THICK AMOUNT OF SNOW WILL ACCUMULATE ON THE WINDSHIELD, WHICH CAUSES A HUGE BLIND SPOT. TO REMOVE THE SNOW FROM THE WINDSHIELD, THE CONTACT HAS TO PERIODICALLY EXIT THE VEHICLE AND MANUALLY REMOVE THE SNOW. SHE CALLED THE MANUFACTURER, BUT NEVER RECEIVED A RESPONSE. THE VIN AND ENGINE SIZE WERE UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 500 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 27,000.
