The windshield wiper linkage failed via a ball joint failure in the wiper mechanism. This caused the driver side wiper to become free moving, staying attached to the car. When it failed, it wound up getting pinned against the driver side door, forcing me to exit the vehicle via the passenger side. This failure occurred when I was driving through western md on interstate 68 near grantsville, md, during a light snow and salting operations were underway. I was using the wipers and washer fluid to keep the windshield clear of salt. After this failure, I used cable ties to tie the loose wiper arm to the attached wiper arm, therefore disabling my wipers until we got to our destination, two hours further down the road. I had to stop every 10-15 minutes to clear the salt off of the windshield. I replaced the part, but have the oem part available for inspection, if requested. I noticed this specific part was recalled on the 2013 chevrolet equinox.
