Windshield wiper failure by model year
What owners say
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 chevrolet equinox. The contact stated that there was an abnormal buzzing noise coming from the vehicle. She later noticed that the windshield wipers would not move but she could hear the motor of the windshield wiper running. The contact disconnected the fuse because the motor would not shut down and the windshield wiper would not budge. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer. The manufacturer was contacted and they offered no assistance. The failure and the current mileage was 50,000. Updated 11/27/12 *cn updated 12/10/2012
My airbag light came on in my vehicle. I didn't think anything of it because all of my onstar diagnostics stated everything was ok. I brought the vehicle in to the dealership to get a dome light and rear wiper motor replaced and to get a state inspection. My vehicle failed inspection due to the failed passenger presence module. Although the part is recalled on other 2007 chevy equinoxes, it has not been recalled on my vehicle. I value the safety of my family, but to charge $975 for a part (labor not included) that was recalled on the same make/model is extremely excessive.
I purchase the 2007 equinox used from day one I have had problems the first one was the car would slow down on its on and when I speeded up it would slow down then it wouldn't start I replaced the battery and now the same thing it will not start, there is a noise that I hear when I drive like something is lose, the back windshield wiper works and not works the passenger seat beat light keeps coming on I will never buy another chevrolet product.
At 57,000 miles the windshield wipers stopped working on my 2007 equinox right in the middle of a rain storm. I have been told gm is aware of the problem but no recall. This is an expensive repair. I would like some assistance from gm on the repair.
