NHTSA Complaint #11186202 — 2013 AUDI Q7

TAKATA RECALL. RIGHT PASSENGER SIDE WIPER BROKE OFF WHILE DRIVING DOWN A CITY STREET IN GREENSBORO NC. I HAD THE WIPERS ON THE FIRST SETTING IN LOW INTERMITTENT MODE. THE WIPER BOWED UP. IT DID NOT FLY OFF MY CAR THANKFULLY BECAUSE I WAS GOING ABOUT 45 MPH. I WAS ABLE TO TURN INTO A GAS STATION AND REMOVE IT AND PLACE IT IN MY CAR. I AM LOOKING INTO TRYING TO GETTING IT REPAIRED. I DON'T HAVE TO COST TO REPLACE IT YET. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE DUE TO ME NOT BEING ABLE TO SEE OUT OF MY WINDSHIELD ENTIRELY. IF THE WIPERS WERE ON FULL MODE IT COULD HAVE FLOWN OFF AND STRUCK ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE ARMS OF THESE VEHICLES WERE POORLY MANUFACTURED AND THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL AND FOR THOSE OF US WHO HAD TO PAY TO GET IT FIXED SHOULD BE REIMBURSED.
