Consumer Description

WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK IN A TERRIBLE RAIN STORM AND THE WIPERS JUST QUIT WORKING WHILE I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK. THIS HAPPENED LESS THAN A BLOCK FROM PULLING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY FROM THE WORK PARKING LOT. VERY SCARY INCIDENT. HAD TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE MOTOR FOR THE WINDSHIELD. IT APPEARS THAT THE 2013 MODELS HAD A RECALL; WHEREAS, THE 2014 MODELS HAVE NOT HAD A RECALL. THE 2014 MODELS USE THE SAME PARTS AS THE 2013 MODELS. NOT SURE WHY THERE IS NO RECALL ON THE 2014 MODEL. COST TO REPLACE WAS ~$400+.
