Consumer Description

WINDSHIELD WIPERS FAIL TO RETURN TO THEIR NORMAL RESTING PLACE, CAUSING OBSTRUCTION OF VIEW AND INAPPROPRIATE DRIVING CONDITION. THE VARIABLE SWITCH MECHANISM SEEMS TO BE INACCURATE AS WELL. THE INABILITY TO HAVE THE WIPERS RETURN TO THEIR RESTING POSITION WHICH IS BELOW SIGHT LEVEL ON THE WINDSHIELD POSES A SIGNIFICANT HAZARD TO DRIVING AND POTENTIAL ACCIDENT SITUATION. *AK
