| Description of the problem | Wiper shuddering or 'juddering' across windshield. Have taken in to dealer at least 4 times, no relief. The dealer finally said there was nothing they could do. Have heard numerous other issues of this exact nature. Wipers have been replaced many times, glass specialists enlisted, class professionally cleaned, angle of wiper blade to glass measured, etc. Online posts indicate this issue is systemic throughout the world. In a $50k car (or any car really) this is outrageous. But more importantly, this is a major safety issue, period! |
