NHTSA Complaint #705023 — 1993 FORD TAURUS

WHEN I WAS IN MY VEHICLE ON THE CROSS BRONX EXPRESSWAY, IT BEGAN TO RAIN HARD AND I PROCEEDED TO TURN ON MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS ON A HIGHER SPEED, AND MY WIPERS STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FRONT WINDSHIELD GLASS OF MY CAR. I STARTED BANGING ON THE DASHBOARD OF MY CAR TO GET THEM GOING AGAIN, AND EVENTUALLY THEY DID. BUT ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS THE BANGING HAS NOT WORKED, AND MY FRONT PASSENGER HAS HAD TO LOWER HIS WINDOW AND STICK HIS HAND OUT TO PUSH THE WIPERS TO GET THEM GOING AGAIN. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS AND HAZARDOUS CONDITION FOR VISIBILITY AND SAFETY OF NOT ONLY MYSELF BUT THAT OF MY PASSENGERS. ON WEDNESDAY, MARCH 24, 1999 I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER TO EXPRESS MY CONCERN ABOUT THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS MALFUNCTIONING, AND THE MECHANIC CONFIRM EDMY CONCERN AND REPLACED THE MOTOR AND WIRING HARNESS TO THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS OF MY CAR. *AK
