Consumer Description

On September 12 I was nearly killed due to a windshield wiper malfunction that was unfixed due to a parts shortage. The wiper motor failed in a downpour while I drove on the Interstate surrounded by sem trucks. I was in the inside lane and managed to blindly pull off and sat broke down on the Interstate. The event was devastating and could have been fatal. My husband was able to get the replacement at OReilly part store that day. Yesterday 11-4-2022 a dealership cometed the recall work.
