| Description of the problem | While driving towards flagstaff at night in the rain, the wipers went off. After i pressed the wash control, the wiper function, washed the window and wiped it enough to allow us to pull over. The wipers continued to work sporadically allowing us to creep to town for the night. Now, they do not work at all and we are waiting for the repair service to obtain back ordered parts. This was very dangerous and we were fortunate to have avoided a serious accident. Surely this function is a safety issue. |
