NHTSA Complaint #10509757 — 2007 HONDA CIVIC

I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AROUND 9:30PM - 10:00PM IN THE RAIN. I HAD MY WIPERS ON, WHICH WERE WORKING FINE FOR APPROXIMATELY THE FIRST 15 MINUTES OF MY 40 MINUTE DRIVE. AFTER APPROXIMATELY 15 MINUTES, THE WIPER BLADES OCCASIONALLY STOPPED RESTING AT THE BOTTOM OF THE WINDSHIELD WHILE ON INTERMITTENT, BUT WOULD REST SLIGHTLY HIGHER. THEY WOULD ALSO WIPE THE WINDSHIELD BETWEEN 3-5 TIMES IN A ROW, WHEN THE INTERMITTENT WAS SET TO WIPE ONCE EVERY FEW SECONDS. I TRIED TURNING THE INTERMITTENT OFF AND WOULD MANUALLY PUSH THE WIPER BAR IN THE CAR WHEN NEEDING MY WINDSHIELD CLEARED, TO SEE IF THAT WORKED BETTER. I RECEIVED THE SAME RESULTS, WITH THE WIPER BLADES NOT RESTING AT THE BOTTOM OF THE WINDSHIELD, AND THE BLADES WIPING 3-5 TIMES IN A ROW WITH ONLY ONE PUSH. ABOUT A WEEK LATER, IT RAINED AGAIN, AND I EXPERIENCE THE SAME THING AS DESCRIBED ABOVE, EXCEPT IT HAPPENED MORE FREQUENTLY THAN THE FIRST TIME. I WAS DRIVING IN TOWN THE SECOND TIME, INSTEAD OF THE INTERSTATE. *TR
