The other day it was raining slightly and I was at my friends house. Later when I left it was raining harder so I was using my wipers and when I had gotten 5 mins down the road my windshield wipers stopped working and it caused me to lose control because I could not see a thing. When that happened I hit something and was in the grass a bit. Now I have a chunk of my bumper gone and a headlight out cause of what I hit. Which I really don't know what it was I hit. Now my wipers don't work, a chunk of my bumper is gone, as well as some plastic under my car came off.

Headlights failing or too dim by model year
What owners say
I had my equinox repaired under the recall for oil consumption, yet it is still burning oil. The heat and AC are not working properly, to get heat I have to turn the dial back and forth and maybe it will work most of the time I have to drive about a half a mile for it to blow heat. The AC is just not working at all. The info panel in the center of the dash will go out and come back on later. While driving, the car will just slow down like I'm not pressing the accelerator at all. The transmission seems to get stuck in a gear causing the rpms to rise and stay until I take my foot off of the accelerator. The car makes a clicking sound when turning. It shakes at 60 MPH. Also I have replaced headlights 2 times in the last year.
Its a ticking noise when started up then lights from the dash board to the head lights, flicks off and on and the horn goes out at the same time. When driving the idle dont seem to pick up speed the transmission seems to has problem it make this horrible loud noise and the car do seem to drive right. The cv joint is going bad for the 5 time and the bars the wheels make this loud noise I only had this car for 5 yrs (chevy equinox 2010) and most I had to replace, now its going bad again. The transmission is the big problem now I have to replace again I might as well get an whole new car
While driving vehicle doors are locking and unlocking themselves, radio and heat turns off and on, blinkers not working,headlights flash on and off by themselves, airbag, stability control and ABS flash on and off on dash. Rpm and speedometer are at zero while driving and accelerating, gas hand shows on low fuel when there's gas on the car. Took to have vehicle scanned and alternator is reading at too high voltage and revived 15 error codes all relating to speed sensor, engine and transmission control model malfunction, power train control module and camshaft position circuit errors etc.
I was driving one day and these lights popped on out of no where the exhaust resginator cracking the car constantly has wheel bearing issue and the engine is burning oil it's not doing what it's supposed to do with it.I was driving on the l-90 thruway at 65 MPH. I. Am also having head light blowing I have changed the headlights 4 times this year
Alot is going on with my 2010 chev my exhaust pipe crack and I was told that is a real problem with chevy's my car is consuming way to much oil I constantly have to get oil changes. My driver side head light keeps going out I'm changing my head light 2-3 times a year. I replaced my spark plugs and coils a few months ago and my car when I'm driving it will stop and the wheel will lock up while I'm driving it .
