| Description of the problem | The first incident was while i was driving on the freeway, it started raining so i turned on the wipers, they worked. The rain slowed and i turned the wipers off. When it started to rain harder again i turned the wiper switch back to on- the wipers would not work. We've had toyota check them out only to be told there isn't a problem. Yesterday, nov. 22, 2013 as i was driving to work, it began to rain. I turned the switch on, and the wipers would work only intermittently, then they quit working altogether. Today, while driving to the grocery store it began to rain again- the same thing happened but now the wipers won't come on at all! This is a huge safety factor! |
