“Windshield wipers get stuck in the up position and do not work. Malfunctioning wipers, no error code with no fix. Very dangerous under extreme weather condtions where wipers are needed. Not what is expected from a toyota product. I demand this be fixed as I've had much older cars with no issues of wipers malfunction. I could crash, die or injury someone because of this failure. The car has only 41,900 miles on it and the wipers are barely used. This should not be happening! It is not because I did something to the wipers either. …”

This is EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. Deemed a MAJOR FLAW, the wiper blades can get stuck in any position while wiping. This occurs when the wiper blades are used and it is raining. This is very hard to replicate with windshield wiper fluid. …”
