Consumer Description
TURNED WIPERS ON TO THE LOW SETTING. THE WIPER BLADE ARMS MOVED TO THE UP POSITION AND STOPPED. I TURN THE SWITCH TO OFF, WAITED A FEW SECONDS AND TURNED THEM BACK ON. WIPERS BLADE ARMS DID NOT MOVE, BUT I COULD HEAR THE MOTOR RUN LIKE IT WOULD IF I WERE TO TURN THEM ON. IT'S ALMOST LIKE THE ARMS BECAME DISLOCATED FROM THE JOINT THE SHOULD BE CONNECTED TOO! I WAS PARKED IN MY LOT AT WORK, POURING DOWN RAIN. I GOT OUT AND TRIED GIVING THE ARMS A LITTLE PUSH TO MAYBE GET THEM TO MOVE . NOTHING. I WAS ABLE TO MANUALLY MOVE THEM TO DOWN POSITION AND WAITED FOR THE RAIN TO STOP SO I COULD DRIVE HOME. I'VE ALREADY HAD THIS CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP A FEW TIMES AND IS CURRENTLY UNDER THE OIL CONSUMTION RECALL. REPLACED THE TIMING CHAIN, NEW PISTONS AND RINGS.
