The visibity in sunlight is dangerously impaired with the reflection of the dashboard on the windshield . Hard to see and really distracting while driving .
I was driving on a rainy day, and noticed my windshield wipers were not working. I tried adjusting wiper speed and even the spray function, which sprayed but did not wipe. At this point I had driven over a mile and had to pull over because visibility through the windshield had gotten so bad. I restarted the car and the wipers functioned normally again. There were no warning lights of any kind or software notifications, and the wipers had worked previously that day.
There is a really bad rattling noise that comes from the dash. The dash at the windshield you can push down very easily. Whem driving on rough road the ratteling noise is very loud and distracting. During daylight driving you get a very bad glare from the dash board in the windsheild. I havent found a dash mat yet to fox the problem temporarily but some people have mentioned trying felt.
At certain times of day it is nearly impossible to see through the windshield as the glare from the dashboard reflection is very bright. The attached pictures do not really show the extent of the glare.
There is a glare from the dashboard of the vehicle that shines onto the windshield and causes visibility to be nearly impossible. I am unable to see certain things on the roadway as a result. This happens every single time the sun happens to be out and is an extreme safety issue. This vehicle is not safe to operate or be on the roadway in any way shape or form.

Glossy components on the Blazer ev dashboard reflect onto the windshield in most daylight driving conditions. The glare is excessive and makes it difficult to discern pedestrians and other obstructions. Chevrolet acknowledged the design flaw when they recently started providing free dash covers for the equinox ev. The equinox and Blazer ev dashboards are essentially the same. A dash cover is not a permanent solution though, and Chevrolet should replace the glossy dashboard components with a material that is less reflective.
Yesterday afternoon the front wipers stopped working during down pouring rain. I had to drive home 10 miles with no wipers.
The glare on the windshield for the Blazer ev is terrible when driving toward the sun. It makes it hard to see and unsafe.
The glare reflecting from the dashboard on to the windshield is many times blinding and obstructs a lot of the front view. Also randomly the side mirrors tilt up while driving giving me a view of the sky but not the road behind me.
When driving during the day, specifically facing the sun, there is a glare on the windshield from the dashboard which decreases visibility. It makes it very difficult to see anything to the right of center for the driver and almost impossible for the passenger to see anything directly in front of the vehicle at times.
While driving the vehicle the reflection from the dashboard onto the windshield on a sunny day causes vision to be impaired to where sometimes you cannot see pedestrians or animals at certain angles. This happens constantly while day driving and increases in impaired vision depending on the direction of travel relative to the sun.
Windshield has terrible glare and reflects the dashboard as to limit visibility. Front collision and auto braking including rear collision and braking are a safety hazard as they create hard braking events for no reason. Car will stop sudden for no reason. These are both serious safety issues. These are problems we have had with the car since purchase and have had the dealership shop work on the problem and were told just to leave it turned off. This is not the correct way to fix a problem with a vehicle.
There's a glare from the dashboard that's reflecting on the windshield and causing an obstruction to road visibility.
The wipers will not work. The wiper motor seems to have an issue. It gets real hot when connected. And I had just bought this vehicle on 11/19/2015.

The windshield wipers don't work all the time. The last 10 times that I tried to turn them on, they didn't 5 of those times. This has been happening on and off for the past month. Last night I had to pull into the breakdown lane on the highway across 3 lanes in a downpour, because the wipers just stopped operating. I was almost hit because I couldn't see anything.

The windshield wipers continually fail. Sometimes they stop in the middle of the cycle, other times they do not turn on at all. This has happened dozens of times, often when I am driving on the interstate in the middle of heavy traffic.
Occasionally the front wipers on my 2000 chevy Blazer would stop working for no reason at all and eventually after a few minutes would kick back on, but as of yesterday Dec 21 2008 they will not come back on. I was informed that this is probably due to a bad wiper circuit board. This same problem occurred and had a recall for a 1997 chevy s10 pickup. And guess what??? they use the same part number. However chevy will not replace the wiper circuit board on my vehicle because there was never a recall on my specific vehicle model/year. If it is the same part and I am having the same problem this should be replaced by the manufacturer. Now out of pocket I am looking at $150 or a little more depending on what parts store I can find this circuit board at. I called several dealerships and the chevy 1-800#. To me this is unacceptable, if it is the same part number that had a problem in a previous vehicle then it should be covered under the recall notice.
I own a 1997 Chevrolet Blazer. A few years back the windshield wipers stopped working while I was driving in a heavy rainstorm on a high traffic expressway. It was a very dangerous situation as there was no visibility due to the wipers stopping. I contacted Chevrolet and repairs were made at a dealership. On Monday, December 15, 2008, I was driving in a rainstorm and once again the wipers failed. I contacted Chevrolet and they gave me a service request claim no. And made an appointment at the same dealership to have the vehicle diagnosed. They told me that I was responsible for the diagnostic fee and no guarantee that they would be responsible for the repair charges. I believe this is a hazardous problem to myself, passengers, other motorists, and pedestrians. This is the 2nd incident. I checked for re-calls on this and there are none.
Wipers failed to work.
The windshield wipers quit working without notice. We purchased this vehicle new in 1998 it only has 80,000 miles. The wipers have been doing this since 2003. When wipers quit working we are unable to see the roadway and this presents a safety hazard. I have read about others having the same problem. I have not had this repair done because I should not have to pay for a defect that Chevrolet knows about. If this defect should cause an accident I will acquire an attorney and file suite against Chevrolet for failure to repair said defect.
