UNKNOWN. This complaint is related to a letter I received from GM notifying me that there is the POTENTIAL for failure of the front windshield wipers due to failure of the wiper ball joints. The letter states that GM will only fix the problem IF they fail. It seems to me that this is a KNOWN problem that has the potential to cause serious injury or loss of life if it were to fail during inclement weather where you need your wipers for visibility. I believe that GM should make this issue a recall and am asking the federal safety agency to look into this and advise GM to recall the affected vehicles.

The windshield wipers have abruptly stopped working numerous times within the past two years. When met with little resistance, such as normal precipitation, the motor stops working. It is available for inspection. My safety and the safety of my children were at risk when this happened on the highway in the middle of a blizzard. This has also happened during heavy rain and I was forced to pull over until it was dry. While other years of the same make and model have been recalled the 2017 Equinox has not.

Back hatch window blew out overnight sometime between 1am and 8am for no reason. No signs of vandalism as this vehicle is parked in the driveway several feet away from sidewalk and multiple other vechicles parked in same driveway. No projectiles types found inside vehicle cargo hold either. Temps were in the low to mid 60s during this timeframe. Remaining glass appears to be slightly pushed outward. Would create serious safety hazard if this happened while driving.
