Visibility, windshield wiper/washer, motorMar 17, 2022
General Motors, LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2014-2015 Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain vehicles. The ball joints in the windshield wiper module may corrode, causing one or both windshield wipers to fail.
Inoperative windshield wipers can reduce visibility in certain driving conditions, increasing the risk of a crash.
Dealers will inspect the wiper module, and repair or replace it as necessary, free of charge. Interim owner notification letters informing owners of the safety risk were mailed on April 21, 2022. Owner notification letters were mailed on October 25, 2022. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020 and GMC customer service at 1-800-462-8782. GM's number for this recall is N212352530.

MOTORHOME MONACO EXECUTIVE 45' TAG AXLE COACH 525HP CUMMINS TOAD CHEVROLET EQUINOX 2014 SUBJECT VEHICLE PURCHASED NEW 2014 NSA TOW BAR, 6000# LIMIT IN EXCELLENT CONDITION SURGE BRAKES BLUEOX BASEPLATE, PROFESSIONALLY INSTALLED IN EXCELLENT SHAPE. WHILE TOWING FOUR DOWN BEHIND MY MOTORHOME, I ENCOUNTERED ROAD CONSTRUCTION. TURNING SLOWLY ON A VERY BUMPY SITE, THE FRONT WHEELS OF THE CAR REFUSED TO FOLLOW THE TRACK OF THE MOHO AND BEGAN A VIOLENT SHAKING MOTION. I HAD TO STOP IN A TRAFFIC LANE ON THE INTERSTATE THEN PROCEED FORWARD AGAIN SLOWLY IN ORDER TO CORRECT THE WOBBLE. IT APPEARS THE ISSUE IS INSUFFICIENT CASTER ON THE FRONT END WHILE BEING TOWED. IT ALSO APPEARS TO ONLY OCCUR WITH THE 4CYL MODEL WITH ELECTRIC STEERING. THE 6CYL MODEL HAS HYDRAULIC STEERING. I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO RECREATE THE WOBBLE IN A SAFE LOCATION. IF IT OCCURS ON THE HIGHWAY IT'S VERY DANGEROUS AS THE VEHICLE COULD SEPARATE FROM THE TOWING VEHICLE. TWO POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS ARE NOT REMOVING THE FUSE RECOMMENDED IN MY MANUAL WHICH WOULD ALLOW THE ELECTRIC STEERING TO BE ENERGIZED. I'M NOT SURE OF ANY OTHER ISSUES THAT MIGHT RESULT FROM THIS PRACTICE. THE OTHER SOLUTION WOULD BE TO BUNGEE CORD THE STEERING WHEEL TO INCREASE PRESSURE ON THE FRONT END. AGAIN, NOT SURE OF CONSEQUENCES. I'M LOOKING FOR A PERMANENT SOLUTION SUCH AS A WIRING HARNESS/JUMPER WHICH WOULD STILL ALLOW THE FUSE TO BE PULLED YET KEEP THE STEERING ENERGIZED. CHRYSLER HAD A SIMILAR ISSUE WITH THE JEEP CHEROKEE. I AM HOPING THE EQUINOX IS SIMILAR IN CONSTRUCTION AND THIS IS A SOLUTION. I'VE BEEN TOWING FOR OVER 40 YEARS WITH 85,000 MILES ON THIS COACH. I LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING FROM YOU. TOGETHER PERHAPS WE CAN SOLVE THIS DANGEROUS CONDITION. I'M NOT ALONE WITH THIS ISSUE AS I HAVE DOCUMENTATION FROM OTHERS WHO'VE EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE.

MAY 2016, HAD ISSUE WITH MY 2014 EQUINOX INVOLVING THE ACCELEROMETER PEDAL & SENSOR DUE TO FAULTY WIRING. MY VEHICLE WAS JUST LESS THAN 2 YEARS OLD WITH 62K MILES AT THE TIME. WE WERE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, WHEN THE MALFUNCTION OCCURRED AND SENT THE VEHICLE INTO REDUCED ENGINE POWER MODE. WHEN THIS HAPPENED THE VEHICLE STARTED TO QUICKLY LOSE SPEED DOWN AS IT HAPPENED JUST PRIOR TO GOING UP A HILL. HAD TO TRY AND GET VEHICLE OFF TO SHOULDER OF HIGHWAY, ACCELERATION PEDAL WAS COMPLETELY INOPERABLE DURING THIS TIME. CALL WAS PLACED TO GM REGARDING THIS ISSUE AND MY CONCERNS THAT IT COULD HAVE LEAD TO A CRASH, INJURY OR WORSE. GM HAD NO INTEREST IN COVERING THIS PROBLEM UNDER ANY WARRANTY AND DID NOT SEEM CONCERNED AT ALL WITH THE ISSUE OR MY CONCERNS THAT THE PROBLEM COULD HAVE LEAD TO A CRASH, INJURY OR WORSE. IN THE END I WAS LEFT WITH A $475 REPAIR CHARGE TO REPLACE AN $80 PART BY THE GM DEALERSHIP.
Visibility/wiper, Oct 11, 2016
HAVE A 2014 EQUINOX LT. IS JUST OVER 2 YEARS OLD, WITH JUST OVER 65K MILES ON IT. JUST RECENTLY HAD THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOP WORKING WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY. CALLED GM DEALER REGARDING THE 2010-2013 MODEL YEAR WIPER BALL JOINTS IN WIPERS RECALL. SERVICE SPECIALIST TELLS ME MY 2014 IS NOT AFFECTED AND IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL AND "WOULD ONLY BE COVERED IF GM SEE FIT TO ISSUE ONE INCLUDING 2014 MODEL YEAR INCLUDING YOUR VIN". WELL GUESS WHAT THE PROBLEM IS THE SAME COMMON BROKEN BALL JOINT IN THE WIPER TRANSMISSION THAT THESE VEHICLES WERE RECALLED FOR. HOWEVER IN MY CASE BECAUSE MY MODEL YEAR IS NOT INCLUDED I HAVE TO FOOT A $180 REPAIR BILL. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE PROBLEM HAPPENED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. WHILE DRIVING IN REVERSE AT APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH, THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER INFORMATION CENTER ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY. THE MANUFACTURER ISSUED A CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM WHERE THE RADIO WAS REPLACED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE FAILURE RECURRED SPORADICALLY SEVENTY TIMES WITHIN A YEAR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES, BUT WAS UNABLE TO LOCATE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. IN ADDITION, THE REAR WINDSHIELD EXHIBITED A PERMANENT FILM ON THE INNER GLASS SURFACE AND, WHEN EXPOSED TO DIRECT SUNLIGHT, IT DISTORTED THE CONTACT'S VISIBILITY. ON SEPARATE OCCASIONS, WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, THE VEHICLE UNINTENTIONALLY ACCELERATED. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO LOCATE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 12. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

Vehicle speed control, Apr 10, 2016, crash
STOPPED WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE WAITING TO PULL OUT ON THE HWY. I HAD BEEN THERE ALREADY ABOUT 1 MINUTE, WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR ACCELERATED WHICH CAUSED ME TO HIT THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME (18 WHEELER). IT WAS AS IF YOUR CAR IS IN PARK AND YOU REV YOUR ENGINE. IT WOULDN'T STOP WITH THE BRAKES. IT SEEMED I HAD NO CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE AND IT TOOK OFF ON ITS OWN. I HAVE SINCE READ OTHERS HAVING SIMILAR EXPERIENCES OF "TAKING OFF" OR GOING FROM 2 RPM TO 4 WITHOUT THEIR FOOT BEING ON THE GAS. I ALSO REQUESTED THE DEALERSHIP TO CHECK FOR ANY REASON THIS MAY HAVE HAPPENED BESIDES FIXING THE DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE.

MY HUSBAND AND I BOUGHT BRAND NEW 2014 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. THINKING THAT THIS WOULD BE AN INVESTMENT AS A RELIABLE AND SAFE FAMILY CAR, IT HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT A HEADACHE. IT CURRENTLY HAS LESS THAN 60K MILES AND IT HAS ENGINE FAILURE PROBLEMS AND ISN'T DRIVE-ABLE... THE ENGINE UNEXPECTEDLY LOST POWER WHILE MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING DOWN THE 91 FREEWAY FROM IRVINE TO RIVERSIDE AROUND 70 MPH. THE ENGINE LITERALLY SLOWED TO ABOUT 10-15 MPH. MY HUSBAND IS A DECORATED MARINE CORPS WAR VETERAN WHO HAS SURVIVE THREE TOURS IN AFGHANISTAN, WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THAT A HUMDRUM COMMUTE TO WORK ALMOST COST HIM HIS LIFE. AND NOW THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON AND I AM TOO AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. THIS LIFE THREATENING SITUATION IS ONLY THE MOST SIGNIFICANT SOMETIMES THE CAR GET STUCK IN BACK UP CAM MODE OR THE RADIO SHUT OFF RANDOMLY AND REFUSES TO COME BACK ON. IF I AM GOING UP A HILL OR A MOUNTAIN THE CAR WON'T GO OVER 40 MPH, AND I CAN'T TRADE IT IN CAUSE I OWE MORE THAN WHAT THE CAR IS WORTH.

WHILE DRIVING AT DAY LIGHT AND THEN TURNS TO DUST THE DASH BOARD LIGHTS GO DOWN BY APPROX. 75% BRIGHTNESS AND TAKES FROM A FEW MINUTES TO OVER FIVE PLUS TO COME BACK TO BRIGHT. THIS IS ALARMING WHILE DRIVING, CHEVROLET SAYS THAT IS NORMAL. IF ANYTHING THE DASH LIGHTS SHOULD STAY THE SAME OR GO BRIGHTER

SQUIRRELS NEST INSIDE DASH AND SQUIRRELS INSIDE CAR. GOT FIVE OUT. THEY KEPT COMING OUT AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. INSULATION CHEWED INSIDE DASH FROM BEHIND STEERING COLUMN ACROSS TO THE GLOVE BOX. TOOK TO DEALER THEY SAID THEY SHOULDN'T BE ABLE TO GET INTO THE CAR. THEY KEPT MY CAR FOR A FEW DAYS AND SAID THAT THEY FOUND A NEST AND PUT MESH OVER A HOLE WHERE THE WINDSHIELD WIPER FLUID DRAINS? IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AREA? THEY SAID THAT IS WHERE THEY WERE GETTING INSIDE THE CAR. I COULD HAVE GOTTEN INTO AN ACCIDENT MULTIPLE TIMES. THIS ALL HAPPENED OVER A COURSE OF A COUPLE OF WEEKS. WE WOULD GET ONE OUT AND MORE WOULD SHOW UP. TWO WERE SITTING ON THE PASSENGER FLOOR NEXT TO ME AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, A SQUIRREL WAS SEEN ON MY DASHBOARD INSIDE THE CAR WHEN I WAS IN A STORE. ONE WAS IN A BAG ON THE PASSENGER SEAT NEXT TO ME. GOT TWO IN TRAPS THAT I SET ON THE FLOOR INSIDE THE CAR, ETC. THIS SHOULDN'T HAPPEN!! I AM TRAMATIZED BY THIS AND DO NOT WANT ANYONE ELSE GOING THROUGH IT.
