I was driving in a heavy rain storm and the drivers side wiper stopped working. Upon inspection there seems to be a recall on certain cruze vehicles for this problem.

The drivers side wiper would not work when started today while it was raining while parked in my driveway. I took the cover off of the escutcheon above the wipers to see why the arm was not being driven by the motor. The arm moved freely back and forth on the windshield. The short arm from the wiper motor to the drive plate for the wiper was off. The arm would not snap back in place. It appears that the plastic knuckle has failed. When searching for wiper failures in the cruze most of the complaints were for this identical failure. Many owners were driving on the road when it failed and I was fortunate that it failed before I left for work as it would have failed while driving in traffic. There are no recalls listed for this defective part. Since is an important safety issue I determined it is best to make this formal complaint. The part number for the wiper linkage is 95971326 and this is what needs to be replaced. The attached photos show the arm off in #1 and #3 while #2 shows the position where it is normally.

The page previous to this one would not let my check every box (3 max), the other things I would have checked that were affected are -lighting -speed control -steering -wiper -traction pictures show these two signals that pop up "service stabilitrak" and "service traction control". Whilst im driving some come things start to happen; the radio/ dash stereo will flicker on and off- all noise stops (any music or blinkers), the heater/ AC wil stop blowing if it is on. Sometimes when this happens my power steering will also go out, jerking the steering wheel while im driving, and happens alot when im turning (very scary). The dash will also flicker with ABS, brake, traction, lights. Some days it will happen very frequently ,other days it will only happen a couple times. I am uncertain what I am doing that is making it act this way. When I am at a stoplight, or drive thru and the same thing as above happens my engine will suddenly shut off while my windshield wipers activate out of no where- very startling (this has happened while my gear shift was in park and while im holding the brake in drive). This has happened multiple times and while in different situations, stationary, in motion, city street, highway, turning, going straight, braking, none of this has happened until a few months ago. Sometimes when I start my car in the morning to warm I come back outside and then engine had shut itself off. The traction does not seem like it is gripping to the road very well, winter has just started, and I am scared to drive it. I am going to get it checked out at a chevy dealership as soon as I get the money. I have just now had the car for a year, myself. Thank you.

The windshield wipers would randomly stick half way up the windshield when turned on, and also happen as soon as I would turn the car on. Was dangerous when driving in the rain because I could not see where I was going and had to pull over multiple times to clear the windshield.

Recently turned up the defogger on front windshield to warn car up and I heard a a loud vibrating sound and a humming noise coming from vents, my blower motor starts vibrating on anything after 3 for the level. Today I was driving in the snow and used my wipers the driver side stopped mid way and was stuck. Once I reached my destination I tried using the wipers again and the driver side did nothing. I got out and out it down tried once more and the driver wiper did not move.

While driving to work on a busy highway heading to danville va where the speed limit is around 55 to 60 MPH during a wintry mix storm the driver side windshield wiper stopped working making it impossible to see. On various web sites this has been an ongoing issue with these vehicles. Thus far upon my research there are various causes for this to occur but the one that I know its not in my case is that I have bad wipers.these wipers were just recently replaced.
