“The windshield wipers keep blowing off the truck . The dealer response was thats a piss poor way to make a wiper . This as you know did not fix the problems I have 25 trucks with the same problems . My concern is that when it blows off it will hit another vehicle and cause an accident . Your help would greatly be appreciated.”
