#10536025 | Crash
WINDSHIELD WIPER TRANSMISSION BROKE AT 60MPH ON A TWO LANE ROAD WHILE PASSING A SEMI DURING HEAVY RAINFALL. COMPLETE LOSS OF WINDSHIELD WIPERS OCCURRED, LOOSING ALL VISIBILITY WHICH BECAME VERY DANGEROUS GIVEN THE VEHICLE POSITION, SPEED AND OTHER TRAFFIC. I OWN AND OPERATE A SAAB REPAIR SHOP AND THIS IS A VERY COMMON FAILURE ON ALL 2003-2011 SAAB 9-3 MODELS WHERE THE PLASTIC LINKAGE POPS OFF DRIVE MOTOR CAUSING COMPLETE OR PARTIAL LOSS OF WIPERS. HAVE REPAIRED 13 OF THESE 9-3S IN SHOP OVER FIVE YEARS. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS SERIOUS ISSUE. I MYSELF HAD NEVER BEEN PUT INTO THIS POSITION BEFORE BUT WILL NOW BE SUGGESTING REPLACEMENT OF THIS ASSEMBLY TO ALL MY 9-3 CLIENTS. SAAB PART NUMBER 12755304 IS CURRENT REPAIR UNIT FROM SAAB PARTS NA. PLEASE SEE THIS EBAY SELLER SELLING NEW LINKAGE REPAIR KITS TO SHOW A SMALL EXTENT OF FAILURES.
