Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING ON I-5 A HEAVY HEAVY RAIN WAS COMING DOWN AND I HAD MY WIPERS ON THE HIGH SETTING AND THEY WORKED FOR A LITTLE BIT AND THEN STOPPED MOVING AT A HIGH SPEED. WHILE ON THE HIGH SETTING THEY WERE GOING SLOWER ACROSS THE WINDOW THEN THE CONTINUOUS SLOW SETTING. I WAS UNABLE TO SEE AND HAD TO SLOW DOWN AND MOVE OVER UNTIL MY WIPERS COULD ALLOW ME TO SEE PROPERLY. THEY CONTINUED THIS FOR THE REST OF MY 150 MILE DRIVE MOVING SLOWER ON THE HIGH SETTING THROUGH THE RAIN.
