Consumer Description

WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING WHILE DRIVING (ON HIGHWAY) IN THE RAIN RESULTING IN COMPROMISED VISIBILITY. I TRIED TURNING THE WIPERS OFF WHILE DRIVING AND EVENTUALLY RESTARTED THE CAR TO SEE IF THAT WOULD HELP. THE WIPERS REMAINED STUCK IN A VERTICAL POSITION DESPITE THESE EFFORTS. EVENTUALLY, I MANUALLY SLID THE WIPERS INTO THE DOWN POSITION.
