| Description of the problem | During heavy rain, the water from the wheel wells is thrown up onto the windshield and the windshield wipers cannot keep up with it. This has happened at 30 mph, as well as higher speeds. This completely obscures visibility and has nearly caused two accidents, as well as some very frightening incidents. These occurred on highways and local paved roads. Heavy water thrown by other vehicles can't be taken care of by the wipers, forcing the driver to guess where the road and other vehicles are. |
