WE PURCHASED OUR EQUINOX FROM MY WIFE'S PARENTS AT ABOUT 30000 MILES. WE NOTICED AFTER A SHORT TIME THAT THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS LEFT AN "UNWIPED STREAK" IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DRIVER'S SIDE WIPER MAKING IT VERY HAZARDOUS ANY TIME CONDITIONS MERITED USING THE WIPER. WE CHANGED THE WIPERS MULTIPLE TIMES WITH NO RESOLVE TO THE PROBLEM. UPON CONSULTING 2 MECHANICS, THEY BOTH MADE NO CHANGES SAYING THERE WAS NO ADJUSTMENT THAT COULD BE MADE TO THE WIPERS. WE THEN RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE EARLIER THIS YEAR. WE CAN'T REALLY DRIVE THE VEHICLE WITH ANY CHANCE OF RAIN OR OTHER PRECIPITATION. THIS OCCURRED WITH A CHEVROLET SERVICE CENTER AS WELL.
