| Description of the problem | The rear wiper quits working. Initially the dealership took it apart, cleaned it and it worked temporarily. But then the wiper quit working again. There appears to be a problem with the mechanism and/or rear window allowing in moisture for this to continue occurring, requiring the need to keep going in and cleaning it or having to replace it as some have reported which appears to be the point i am at the last time i took it in. |
