Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING ON A RAINY NIGHT ON A RURAL CITY STREET AND THE PASSENGER WIPER ARM JUST BROKE OFF. I WAS KIND OF STARTLED. I AM POSITIVE THAT I DIDN'T HIT ANYTHING AND I'VE SEVERAL OTHER COMPLAINTS ONLINE OF THIS HAPPENING TO OTHER AUDI OWNERS. THIS COULD BE A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD IF THIS WAS THE HIT SOMEONE WHILE DRIVING.
