Consumer Description

CONSUMER HAS PROBLEM WITH WINDSHIELD WIPERS, THEY INTERMITTENTLY WORK. IN WET CONDITIONS THEY DON'T CLEAR. INSTEAD THEY SMEAR THE WINDSHEILD, MAKING IT VERY HARD TO SEE. ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN IN MOTION THEY FLY IN THE WIND. SUBARU HAS NO REMEDY & TRIED TO USE HEAVY DUTY WIPERS, BUT THEY DIDN'T MAKE A DIFFERENCE. *AK *ML
