Consumer Description

AFTER I FINISHED CLEARING THE WINDSHIELD OFF BEFORE DRIVING, I TURNED THE WIPERS ON. THEY BOTH TURNED ON, BUT THE PASSENGER SIDE WIPER BRUSHED RIGHT OVER THE DRIVER SIDE WIPER. THE DRIVER SIDE WIPER NO LONGER WORKED. THE WIPER TRANSMISSION HAD BROKEN. I REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION ON JAN. 22, 2015. ON MARCH 26, 2015, I WAS DRIVING IN THE RAIN WITH THE WIPERS ON. AFTER TWO LOUD BANGS, THE PASSENGER SIDE WIPER STOPPED WORKING. THE CAR HAD NOT BEEN DRIVEN 1,000 MILES WITH THE NEW WIPER TRANSMISSION BEFORE IT BROKE, TOO. *TR
