Description of the problem | I have a newly purchased 2013 equinox which my wife drives and the wipers broke on it while driving on the nj parkway in the middle of a rainstorm and was lucky she did not get into a serious accident with our daughter. Apparently this problem exists on many other equinox's around the same age with a simple google search. I see this as a serious safety issue being it happened while driving on the highway when my wife put her wipers on high since it was raining so hard and scared to death when it happened. |
