NHTSA Complaint #11149923 — 2008 AUDI Q7

MY PASSENGER WINDSHIELD WIPER FLEW OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. IT WAS RAINING PRETTY HARD AND THE AUTOMATIC WIPERS WERE GOING PRETTY FAST WHEN SUDDENLY IT SNAPPED OFF AND FLEW BEHIND ME. THIS HAPPENED ON MAY 17, 2018. THE DEALER I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM REPLACED IT WITH ANOTHER Q7'S WIPER THAT WAS ON THEIR LOT. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN ON 11/06/2018... I WAS AROUND THE SAME AREA OF THE HIGHWAY, IT WAS RAINING AND THE WIPERS WERE GOING PRETTY FAST. I WAS GOING ABOUT 50 MILES PER HOUR WHEN IT FLEW OFF AGAIN. I THINK THIS IS VERY UNSAFE AS THE WHOLE ARMS FLIES OFF WHICH IS MADE OF HEAVY METAL THAT CAN CRACK SOMEONE'S WINDSHIELD ON THE HIGHWAY OR EVEN WORSE. THERE HAS TO BE SOMETHING THAT CAN BE DONE ABOUT THIS.
