| Description of the problem | Driving vehicle in the rain and the two windshield wipers stopped working. They are linked together by a linkage bar. Initially i stopped the rv and moved the driver side windshield wiper back onto the windshield as it had pushed over beyond the window. I turned it on and within a few minutes it did it again. I made sure everything was tight on the connections outside. I tried it again and within a few minutes the driver wiper went 270 degrees pointing down and sitting on the front of the rv and not on the window. Since they are linked the one on the passenger side also stopped working. This unit was made in december 2007. There was a recall on ones made prior to july 2007. My experience indicates that the problem exists in the same model year after july 2007. This is a hazard when trying to drive in rain. |
