2010 Chevrolet Equinox visibility/wiper problems

“The climate controls, including the seat warmers, located on the control panel directly below the radio/stereo controls on my 2010 Chevy Equinox stopped working. As a result, the ability to control the temperature and direction of heated/cooled air was lost. I tolerated the conditions for several seasons, winter being the toughest due to temp and the need for defrost, until buying a new car (as an addition, not a replacement vehicle). As my oldest child became of age to begin driving, I've attempted to prepare the car for his driving and safety. In researching how to repair this malfunction, I came across a recall that addresses this exact problem; however, upon taking my Chevy Equinox to my local Chevy dealership, I discovered that my VIN is not on the list for this repair. The coincidence that my car falls in the category of vehicles included for this recall (Bulletin No.: 09298C), but is not included is confusing, to say the least. There were no warning lamps or messages prior to this failure that began in 2019.”

“I have a 2.4 ltr Chevy equinox and the engine went out at 140000miles, no warning symbol. Left me stranded in the middle of nowhere, two days after being stuck in a rain storm, when I found out my wipers died.”

“The contact owns a 2010 Chevrolet Equinox. The contact stated that while his wife was driving at an undisclosed speed, the front windshield wipers became inoperable. The contact's wife was driving at night while it was raining. The contact stated that after inspecting and researching the cause of the failure, he discovered that a failure with the windshield wiper transmission assembly. The contact became aware that the windshield wiper transmission assembly needed to be replaced. The contact stated that he would repair the vehicle himself. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 100,011.”

“while driving in a rain storm my wipers stopped working. Had to move from 3 lanes of traffic to the side of the road with zero visibility out of my front windshield. Wipers had no power, windshield wiper module failed.”

“TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNDISCLOSED SPEED DURING A HAIL STORM, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WERE ACTIVATED ON HIGH SETTING HOWEVER, AFTER WIPING UP AND DOWN TWICE, THE WIPERS BECAME INOPERABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT TONY DIVINO TOYOTA (777 W RIVERDALE RD, RIVERDALE, UT 84405) HAD REPAIRED THE WIPER BLADES A YEAR PRIOR HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 123,000.”

“I'VE HAD COUNTLESS ISSUES FROM THIS VEHICLE SINCE I'VE GOTTEN IT BETWEEN A CONSTANT CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAVING TO REPLACE ALL THE SENSORS AND IT GOES AWAY OR OIL LIKE NOBODY'S BUSINESS I STAY PUTTING OIL IN IT TWICE A WEEK AS OF THE PAST FEW DAYS I WAS COMING HOME FROM TAKING MY BROTHER TO KARATE AND MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT START FLASHING IN MY STABILITY TRACK CAME ON AND DUE TO THE OIL LEAK IT CAUSE MY ENGINE TO CRACK A RING SO NOW MY VEHICLE IS BASICALLY TOTALED ITS HEARTBREAKING CUZ THE AMOUNT OF MONEY AND REPAIRS ARE PUT INTO IT IT'S BEEN ONE PROBLEM AFTER ANOTHER I HIGHLY DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS CAR TO ANYBODY”
