I WAS ABLE TO FINISH THE LAST 10 OR 12 MILES OF THE TRIP BY STOPPING EVERY MILE OR TWO AND OPERATING THE WIPERS BY HAND. RIDICULOUS AND DANGEROUS. UPON RETURNING HOME I REPAIRED THE DEFECT ONLY TO HAVE IT BREAK AGAIN ALMOST RIGHT AWAY. I REPAIRED IT AGAIN, CHECKING TO BE CERTAIN THE REPAIR PARTS WERE CORRECT, THEY WERE, AND THIS TIME IT WORKED CORRECTLY FOR APRX A MONTH, THEN A DIFFERENT CAP AND BALL JOINT ON THE SAME MECHANICAL PART SUFFERED THE SAME FAILURE. ONCE AGAIN I REPAIRED THE DAMAGE, WHICH THIS TIME WORKED FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS, UNTIL THIS MORNING, 11/01/2019, WHEN IT AGAIN MALFUNCTIONED BEFORE I LEFT MY DRIVEWAY. I SEE THERE HAVE BEEN A NUMBER OF OTHER PEOPLE REPORTING THIS SAME ISSUE, AND THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM ON THE 2013 MODEL; I FEEL THIS IS A MANUFACTURING ISSUE AS I HAVE ONLY EVER HAD TO ADDRESS THIS MALFUNCTION ONE OTHER TIME IN MY LIFE ON A 20+ YEAR OLD VEHICLE. BUT EVEN THAT TIME IT MAY HAVE BEEN MY FAULT AS I WAS WORKING IN THIS AREA OF THAT VEHICLE AND I BELIEVE I INADVERTENTLY STRESSED THAT MECHANICAL CONNECTION. I'M AN AUTO MANUFACTURER RETIREE AND HAVE WORKED AROUND CARS, INCLUDING A FEW YEARS DOING FINAL LINE REPAIR AT THE MANUFACTURER, AND FEEL QUITE CONVINCED THIS IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. AS OF NOW I'M LEFT WITH LITTLE RECOURSE EXCEPT TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE WIPER ASSEMBLY; SOMETHING I AM HIGHLY UNSATISFIED WITH BEARING THE EXPENSE AND RESPONSIBILITY OF DOING.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2014","productMake":"CHEVROLET","productModel":"EQUINOX","manufacturer":"General Motors, LLC"}]}]}
