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.
