I was on my way to work. It started to rain, so I turned on the wipers, and they swiped a few times and stuck in the upward left position and stopped. I was on a state highway, at the time, and found it extremely difficult to see to drive. The wipers have not worked since that day. Upon checking online, I've found that this is a very common problem and happens to others exactly the same way it happened with my wipers. There was a recall on the canadian model for 2013, but have not found one for 2010 and there needs to be a recall on all of the wipers for this model. The arms on the transmission come apart and stops the wipers from working. No warning......they just stop. This is a safety hazard. And to add to the problem...... To repair it, the more appropriate option is to replace the transmission/motor assembly and that part is extremely expensive, around $300. This should be a recall by chevy, as it is a safety hazard and can cause terrible accidents in the blinding rain. Thank you for your time and attention to this matter.

While driving, the car would not accelerate, pulled onto a street and put the car into park. Attempted again and the car slowly drove. Another incident, my son was driving and he said it just "wouldn't drive", luckily he was near a relatives house and pulled into the drive. He attempted to move the car and put it into reverse and it would not go into reverse. The car is now at a chevy dealer. Now this may not be deemed a "safety issue", but what is the issue, the car only has 65,000 and we are being told by chevy that the car needs a new transmission. At what point can a non-safety issue be deemed a recall. Apparently there is a bulletin regarding the chevy equinox 2010, many many complaints, and chevy will not repair them. What can be done?
