What owners wrote
The contact owns a 2014 Chevrolet Equinox. The contact stated that while driving in the rain the windshield wipers became inoperable. The contact crashed into a tree. There were no reported injuries or fire. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to the independent mechanic. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V165000 (Visibility). However, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The local dealer was not contacted.
Was driving home from work in a terrible rain storm and the wipers just quit working while I was driving home from work. This happened less than a block from pulling out of the driveway from the work parking lot. Very scary incident. Had to replace the entire motor for the windshield. It appears that the 2013 models had a recall; whereas, the 2014 models have not had a recall. The 2014 models use the same parts as the 2013 models. Not sure why there is no recall on the 2014 model. Cost to replace was ~$400+.
