On case pe07060 with acura wipers. The fix acura provided simply does not work. My wipers stopped working for no apparent reason during a storm (common in south florida). I almost got into a huge accident because I could not see. Thankfully I was able to pull over. The fuse is ok. When I took the vehicle to acura they told me that they were aware of the ongoing issue but since the re-call was done that I had to pay for them to "look at it" and really fix the issue instead of the patch that was done.

1. Recall campaign id# 08v092000 - 2004-2005 acura tl (windshield wiper motor); manufacturer report date: february 25, 2008 2. As per acura, a wiper motor kit was installed june 27, 2008 on my 2004 acura tl. 3. On september 11, 2009 my windshield wipers became inoperable. I contacted the dealership and acura client services immediately. I made an appointment to take my vehicle to the acura dealership and was told that I would have to pay for the repair since the "recall" was complete. Although, the wiper motor kit was installed (june 27, 2008) as a preventive measure by the dealership, the wiper motor kit did not prevent my windshield wiper motor from the corrosion as mentioned in the defect notice, owner notification letter (part 577), recall acknowledgement and recall summary. The dealership ruled the repair on september 12, 2009 due to "wiper motor electrical fault".

Driving to work in the rain this morning and windshield wipers stopped working. I had zero visibility and was in the flow of traffic on a four lane road. I have seen several of these complaints on the internet and think that this type of safety failure should be addressed by the manufacturer.
The wiper motor failed during a heavy rainstorm on the interstate. There are other reports of similar failures reported on the acura tl owners site http://tl.acurazine.com/forums/showthread.php?=160666&highlight=wiper+motor.
2004 acura tl moon roof just flew off while driving on the highway.
Driving along on I-10 in mobile, al on saturday evening. Started raining, turned on the wipers and they worked for about 5 minutes, then returned to the off position and stopped working in middle of a rain storm. I almost had an accident trying to get off the highway to the shoulder. Washer still works. Changed the fuse, still not working. Going to dealership tomorrow.
Windshield cracked while making a right turn onto a freeway. After inspection to the windshield acura said a small stone had nicked the windshield causing it to break. Acura paid half the cost of replacement but I was still $330 out of pocket. After checking around with other 2004 acura tl owners Im not alone. Many owners are reporting broken windshields in the first few thousand miles. Many owners believe that the problem is a sound barrier sandwiched in-between the two layers of glass.
