NHTSA Complaint #10894665 — 2007 HONDA CIVIC

WIPERS DO NOT PARK WHEN TURNED OFF AFTER USE IN THE APPROPRIATE SPOT. THEY CONTINUE TO RUN FOR SEVERAL MORE CYCLES UNTIL THEY PARK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WINDSHILD. THIS CAUSES A VIEW OBSTRUCTION WHILE DRIVING AND ULTIMATELY DISTRACTS THE DRIVER. THE WIPERS HAVE TO BE TUNRED ON AND OFF NUMEROUS TIMES SO THAT THE WIPERS END UP IN THE CORRECT POSITION AT THE BOTTOM OF THE WINDSHIELD. ALSO THE CONTINUOUS RUNNING OF THE WIPERS WHEN THE WINDOW IS DRY RESULTS IN FREQUENT REPLACEMENT OF THE WIPER BLADES IN ORDER TO PREVENT SCRATCHING ON THE WINDSHIELD BY THE WORN OUT RUBBER INSERT. I BELIEVE THIS IS CAUSED BY THE WIPER MOTOR MALFUNCTIONING.
