“On april 06, 2018, a technician performed a repair to my windshield wiper system by tightening the main bracket and adding extra screws to secure the assembly. However, on 06/26/2018 the problem resurfaced. The passenger side wiper got stuck under the driver side wiper during a rainstorm while I was driving on an expressway. I am attaching a picture of the problem. This problem has now happened twice and I am concerned that this will happen again and cause an accident. …”
NHTSA complaint #11104748, filed 2018-06, 10,000 miles“While driving on an interstate highway during a rainstorm, the passenger-side wiper got stuck under the driver-side wiper and both wipers stopped. We had to quickly stop and remove the passenger-side wiper so at least the driver-side wiper would work.”
NHTSA complaint #11083337, filed 2018-04, 8,500 miles“While driving on an interstate highway during a rainstorm, the passenger-side wiper got stuck under the driver-side wiper and both wipers stopped. We had to quickly stop and remove the passenger-side wiper so at least the driver-side wiper would work.”
NHTSA complaint #11083339, filed 2018-04, 8,500 miles“Had recall for wipers performed but the problem of the passenger side wiper getting stuck behind the driver side wiper still persists. When this happens neither wiper will move causing a complete lack of visibility in moderate to heavy rain. Happened to me twice on the freeway prior to having the recall completed and the day of having the recall completed it happened on the way home. It seems the passenger side wiper is overdriving and the mechanism is making a complete 360 degree rotation instead of rocking back and forth.”
NHTSA complaint #11032651, filed 2017-10, 3,000 miles“On December 13, 2021 the windshield wipers failed while we were driving at about 55 mph on a highway in heavy rain and wind. The passenger side wiper arm over-traveled and jammed behind the driver side wiper arm leaving us with no windshield wipers. We pulled onto the shoulder and unjammed the wipers several times but each time they jammed again within a few minutes. We drove without wipers to the nearest exit where we spent the night on the side of the road. …”
