Consumer Description

While driving home on Monday, January 23, 2023 I attempted to use my wipers to clean my windshield and the driver’s side windshield wiper flew off to the side of the windshield and wouldn’t go back down. The wiper fluid that was on the windshield obstructed my view for a few moments. A few minutes later when I arrived home, a friend of mine helped me put it back in place and noted the little silver “key” wasn’t fitting properly. I had received a recall notice last year but was never notified that any parts were available or when to bring my vehicle in. If this incident had occurred during a storm it could have been extremely dangerous.
