There was a well-known problem with the windshield wipers not functioning properly on the 2016 Chevy Equinox. General Motors had to issue a recall due to the widespread nature of this issue, caused by loose ball joints in the wipers. The affected models include the 2010-2012 and 2014-2016 Chevy Equinox and Terrain vehicles. If your vehicle falls within this range, you may be eligible to have the issue fixed by a dealership at no cost. It's recommended to contact them to see if they can assist you.
My windshield wipers stopped working while I was driving on the highway! It was raining heavily, making it impossible to see and posing a real danger to my life. Luckily, the dealership replaced the wiper motor and transmission unit for free. However, this issue should have prompted a product recall.
My eyes are in good working order.
If the windshield wipers on your 2016 Chevy Equinox are malfunctioning, it may be necessary to replace the wiring, the timer circuit relay, or the switch.
