NHTSA Complaint #11102469 — 2014 AUDI Q7

PASSENGER SIDE WIPER FAILED WHILE DRIVING IN HEAVY RAIN. APPEARS MANY AUDI Q7 OWNERS EXPERIENCED THIS FAILURE. NOT SURE WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. WHEN WIPER FAILED, I HAD FAMILY IN MY CAR AND I LOST VISIBILTY ON THE HIGHWAY AND ALMOST CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT AND HARM TO MY FAMILY FOR A RECURRING ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED AS IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. THE WIPERS WERE ON AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE PASSENGER WIPER STOPS AND BECOMES ENTAGLED WITH THE DRIVER SIDE WIPER BREAKING THE DRIVER SIDE WIPER BECAUSE THE DRIVER SIDE WIPER CONTINUED TO OPERATE. HAD I CONTINUED OPERATING WINDSHIELD WIPERS THE DRIVER SIDE WIPER ARM WOULD HAVE SNAPPED IN HALF LIKE OTHER OWNERS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED POSSIBLE DEATH TO OTHERS ON HIGHWAY DUE TO WIPER DEBRIS HITTING OTHER VEHICLE WINDSHIELDS AND CAUSING A MAJOR ACCIDENT ON THE HIGHWAY. IN ADDITION CAUSING MY LOSS OF VISIBILTY AND CRASHING INTO HIGHWAY OBJECT OR ANOTHER VEHICLE.
