“On 3/23/2010 while driving my 2008 Hyundai Tucson (mileage 17372 )on a rainy day, my front wipers stopped in the 1:00 position (approx) restricting my visual sight of other vehicles and objects on the road. I was driving on a high traffic road thru town. I was terrified since I could not just stop the car and had to drive approx 100' with poor visibility. I called the dealership to report the incident & to get service. The technician told me it was a safety hazard driving with no wipers and to get it in. …”
