Consumer Description

FRONT WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING. THE WIPER ARM ASSEMBLY BECAME DISCONNECTED FROM THE WIPER MOTOR SO THAT THE WIPERS STOPPED MOVING BACK AND FORTH. THERE WAS IMMEDIATE LOSS OF VISIBILITY DUE TO THE HEAVY RAIN. THE DISCONNECTED WIPER ARMS COULD BE MOVED BACK AND FORTH OVER THE WINDSHIELD BY HAND (STAYING IN TANDEM WITH EACH OTHER) AND THAT IS HOW I KNOW THEY DISCONNECTED FROM THE MOTOR. THE DESIGN OF THIS SYSTEM SHOULD BE MORE FAILSAFE, AND A FAILURE IN THE SYSTEM PRESENTS AN IMMINENT DANGER DUE TO THE LOSS OF VISIBILITY WHILE DRIVING IN THE RAIN. *TR
