Consumer Description

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING MY 2 YOUNG SONS TO DAYCARE IN THE MORNING WHILE IT WAS RAINING WHEN SHE WAS ALMOST THERE THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS JUST STOPED WORKING. SHE DROVE TO A FRIENDS HOUSE CLOSE BY AFTER DROPPING MY CHILDREN OFF AND HAD TO GET AN UBER HOME. UPON INSPECTION I FOUND THE WIPER TRANSMISSION ARM BECAME DISCONNECTED FROM THE WIPER LINKAGE. AFTER LOOKING ONLINE I DISCOVERED THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM AND IT WAS SUGGESTED TO REPLACE THE BUSHING THAT CONNECTS THEM. I REPLACED IT WITH THE CORRECT BUSHING AND REINSTALLED IT. THE WIPERS WORKED FINE FOR A FEW DAYS AND THIS MORNING THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN WHILE SHE WAS DRIVING MY SONS TO DAYCARE AND SHE ATTEMPTED TO USE THE WIPERS TO SPRAY AND CLEAN THE WINDOWS THEY DISCONNECTED. I HAVE SEEN THIS SAME COMPLAINT FROM MANY PEOPLE AND AM NOW VERY CONCERNED THAT AFTER IT GETS FIXED AGAIN IF IT HAPPENS AT THE WRONG TIME OR ON THE INTERSTATE WE COULD LOSE VISIBILITY AND IT COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.
