Consumer Description

WIPER BLADE ELECTRONICS WILL STOP INTERMITTENTLY CAUSING LOSS OF VISIBILITY ESPECIALLY IN SEVERE WEATHER CONDITIONS. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES DESPITE USE OF APPROPRIATE DE-ICER WINTER FORMULA WIPER FLUID, REPLACEMENT OF THE WIPER MOTOR, AND MULTI-FUNCTION SWITCH ASSEMBLY. THE PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE OVERLOAD OF THE CIRCUIT WHEN THERE IS MILD TO MODERATE AMOUNT OF ICE ON THE WINDSHIELD OR WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL IS READJUSTED DOWNWARD CAUSING THE WIRING HARNESS TO COME LOOSE. THIS HAS ALMOST CAUSED MAJOR ACCIDENTS AT LEAST 2 AND MAYBE EVEN 3 TIMES DUE TO THIS ISSUE. THE PROBLEM OCCURRED WHEN DRIVING STRAIGHT AT SLOW SPEED OF ABOUT 20 MPH DUE TO SEVERE WEATHER AND I WAS FORCED TO STOP WHEN THE WIPERS WOULD STOP WORKING.
