| Description of the problem | 2007 winnebago motor home windshield wiper failure. Wipers failed completely, without warning in an extreme downpour situation. I was unable to see the highway at all. By the grace of god, i was able to exit into a rest area immediately. I purchased another wiper motor from a winnebago dealer. It also failed within 2500 miles. The result was not as severe because the rain was only misting. It was still inconvenient because i still had to drive for a distance in order to safely exit the highway. Winnebago does not seem to care about the inconvenience, nor more importantly, the potential catastrophic results of this failure. |
