During a snowstorm, driver's front wiper blade stopped, seating itself against door pillar. Wouldn't budge. Already "repaired" in Dec. 2015. Dealer blames owner though it's a common problem with Equinox. |
| 87000 mi | Recall repair for a problem I'd previously experienced. I took the car to the dealer twice, after each of two hazardous trips during which the wipers failed - one torrential rain and one blizzard. The first time, the wiper transmission was replaced under warranty. The second time, I had to pay for the "repair" and was told it was because snow had piled up under the cowl when in fact, it had built up overnight after I parked the car because visibility was impossible with broken wipers. I pointed out the online forums concerning this known situation but it was dismissed. Now the issue is a recall...! The episodes combined with fear while pulling over during compromised conditions, compounded by the blame placed on me, is unacceptable. |
