The wiper blades stopped half way and that was it we made it to the side of the road and I could move the wipers back and forth really easy and could here a clunking down in by the motor needles to say my 2015 equinox with only 90,023 miles on it can’t go down the road with no windshield wipers this could’ve really been bad had not known my surroundings because I immediately couldn’t see the road !!! My 2000 silverado still has all its factory wiper arms and motor yet why is this pile falling apart ?? GM better go back to the drawing board on this major malfunction

I was driving with grand babies in my car and a severe rainstorm hit. I turned on the wipers and they went back and forth 2 times then I heard a clunk and they stuck to left side. I could not see at all and almost had an accident! I did some research and see that you have been aware of this issue since at least 2015. the federal safety agency has been investigating since then as well. There have been over a thousand reports so far. Please advise as to where I should bring my car to get it fixed by GM.

When driving slow between 1st and 2nd gear when you get off the gas pedal and touch it again you hear and feel the clunk , as if there's play in transmission, turk conver locking and unlocking. Sounds like somethings going to brake. Other problem is thumping noise from something in fuel tank starts slow then seeds up .mechanic said sounds like fuel pump module he couldn't repeat the problem. I only hear it when I'm stopped with car running and off this could make noise when driving but the normal sounds of radio,talking would drown it out . I'm afraid if it's the fuel pump ,it can shut off while I'm driving I can have an accident!

On may 31, 2019 while driving in a heavy rain storm my wipers suddenly stopped in the upmost position causing zero visability on a busy road. After getting safely off the road I tried moving the wiper blades and can hear clunking when they move. The linkage has separated at the bushing. This is a very dangerous defect that needs to be resolved by gm.
