2014 Chevrolet Equinox: complete transmission failure

Filed Oct 26, 2023 · Acceleration, Steering · LA

Service Stabilitrak & Power Steering light comes on after initial start up or in the middle of driving intermittently cause car to jolt back & forth while driving which can cause an accident if someone or car is near, could hear that car was attempting to lock & unlock doors while errors appear on dash. When changing gears a jolt and loud knock sounds occurs, now check engine light appears, this has caused a new issue now code states to replace transmission valve body assembly…Unable to locate part anywhere & I’m not clear what may be causing issue since it happens intermittently. Changed battery, msgs stopped appearing on dash for a week. Boom hopes were high now msgs are there again….Total nightmare. I just bought this car!!!

The windshield wiper transmission failed. The wipers stopped completely. My daughter was driving in a heavy thunderstorm and couldn't see anything. She was on I-95 in heavy traffic in the middle lane and was lucky to avoid an accident. I'm aware that there was a recall for the same thing in 2013 models and that there is a current investigation into the same problem for other years. This could have been tragic! I see numerous repair videos online for the same exact problem! Chevy knows this!

I have a 2014 equinox. Our wiper transmission failed when we were driving in town at dusk in the rain 2 days ago. I see that this was an issue with the 2013 model year, and there is a recall to address it. I am skeptical that substantial changes were made, and hope you will investigate my concern to see if it's a widespread problem. It's clearly a safety concern, and not an inexpensive fix. Of note, although I live in a coastal area so the salt air can cause premature corrosion, I have never had this issue with a previous vehicle.

Tl* the contact owns a 2014 chevrolet equinox. Without warning, the windshield wipers failed to function. The vehicle was inspected by an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the wiper transmission failed and needed to be replaced. The manufacturer and the dealer indicated that the oem part was the same as the oem part concerning a manufacturer recall for which the vehicle was excluded. The contact was uncertain if the vehicle would be repaired by the dealer (ourisman chevrolet of marlow heights, 4400 branch ave, marlow heights, md 20748, (240) 455-3386) or an independent mechanic. The approximate failure mileage was 72,000.
