Consumer Description

THIS ISSUES INVOLVES THE FAILURE OF WINDSHIELD WIPERS SET ON THE HIGHEST SETTING TO REMAIN AT THAT SPEED. VW HAS CONFIRMED THE PROBLEM AT A DEALERSHIP BUT OFFERS NO FIX TO THE PROBLEM. ESCALATION WITHIN VW HAS YET TO PRODUCE A SATISFACTORY ANSWER TO THIS OBVIOUS PROBLEM. IN HEAVY RAIN, DRIVING IS UNSAFE BECAUSE THE WIPERS VARY IN SPEED AND TO KEEP A CONSTANT WIPER RATE REQUIRES REPEATED CHANGING OF THE SETTINGS. *TR
