Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING IN THE RAIN AT CRUISING SPEED ON THE HIGHWAY, MY DRIVER'S SIDE WINDSHIELD WIPER (TRANSMISSION LINKAGE) SEPARATED AT ONE OF THE BALL/CUP JOINTS CAUSING MY WIPER TO UNCONTROLLABLY FLY BACK AND CONTACT MY DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW. LEAVING ME WITHOUT AN OPERABLE WIPER SYSTEM AND SAFE TRANSPORTATION TO WORK. THIS IS THE SECOND SUCH FAILURE ON THIS VEHICLE AS THE SAME ISSUE WAS REPAIRED APPROXIMATELY A YEAR AGO. OBVIOUSLY, A SAFETY CONCERN DEPENDING ON THE DRIVING AND WEATHER CONDITIONS AT THE TIME OF FAILURE.
