Consumer Description

WE WERE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY ONE AFTERNOON AND IT BEGAN TO RAIN. WE TURNED ON OUR WINDSHIELD WIPERS AND NOTHING HAPPENED. WE WERE FORCED TO PULL OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY TO WAIT OUT THE STORM SINCE WE HAD ZERO VISIBILITY WITHOUT THE WIPERS. OUR WIPERS HAVE NOT WORKED SINCE THAT POINT. I HAVE NOTED THAT THE 2003 HONDA ACCORDS HAD A RECALL FOR A DEFECT IN THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR AND THIS SEEMS TO FIT THAT DESCRIPTION THOUGH HONDA HAS INFORMED ME THAT NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR THE 2004 ACCORDS, DESPITE THIS BEING AN IDENTICAL ISSUE THAT IS NOT COMMON OUTSIDE OF THIS DEFECT AND IS ON A SIMILAR MODEL. IT IS A RATHER DANGEROUS SITUATION TO OCCUR SINCE ONE WILL ONLY NOTICE THE WIPERS STOPPED WORKING DURING A RAINSTORM. *TR
