Apparently in the wonderful wise world of GM enginearing [sic] there are different front fender liners on different trim levels of the 10-17 equinox/ terrain/ srx/ etc. some have access covers to get to the back of the headlight housing and on this one you have to partly or fully remove the fender liner.

Idiocy.

Ha. Found that out in AZ a couple of years ago. It’s dumb.

driver windshield wiper reported non-op by a very perturbed vehicle operator just now.

open recall, haven't gotten notice from GM, so I wonder if parts are available yet.

Don’t need to worry about that wiper recall.

She did still have full coverage on it. Edmunds values at ~$8k so hopefully it’ll be something close to that.



Stiff and sore, no airbags

She was turning left from 251 to 96 in Victor and an 85 year old Florida man didn’t stop for his red.

Just cleaned it out at Farmington Service.

LF wheel is broken, strut bent, lower a arm ripped at front mounting point, axle separated. Front end didn’t appear shifted. Probably repairable if one were dedicated to the car, but I don’t think worth considering with full coverage. Lower A pillar likely pushed in a bit the way the door is sitting.

No good!  Glad it wasnt serious and that she's doing okay, hope she's 100% in no time.

 Did the Equinox have side airbags?  or only front?

I think it had side, but not 100% certain.

Didn’t have any malfunction indicators for airbags so whatever it did have, it thought were operational.
