My vehicle is a 2004 audi a4 cabriolet with a 1.8t engine. Windshield wipers stop working. While driving on the pa turnpike in the rain my windshield wipers stopped in the middle of the windshield and would not move. I was lucky it wasn't at night because I was unable to see the lanes in the road or other cars in front of me. I pulled over and waited for the rain to stop. When I contacted the audi dealership to ask what they thought it could be I was told that it was most likely caused by the windshield wiper transmission becoming corroded with rust and being unable to move. The service technician said this was a common problem with these cars and they had just finished repairing one this week (southhills audi, pittsburgh pa) I made an appointment at the dealership to have my vehicle inspected and 2 weeks later after the inspection was told that the wipers have definitely stopped working because of the amount of rust on the windshield wiper transmission. I was quoted 600 dollars to fix and left to drive home since they didn't have the parts.

Drivers side window and right rear passenger window fail to operate from drivers position. Took vehicle to the dealer and was told that the drivers side window regulator was faulty, they replaced it and it. They said the rear passenger side window wasn't working because the safety lock was on. Picked up vehicle after the service dept. Was closed and was shocked to see that the rear window still doesn't work, no matter what position the safety lockout is in. Dealer was notified and said to return but because of location I will have to wait for another day.

Wipers stopped working during a rain storm, left the blade up and in my view. Turned the wipers off then back to the on position to see if that would retract them. They moved about an inch and then the window cracked right above the drivers side wiper arm. Wipers work fine as long as I leave a cracked windshield in place. Replace it and they work intermittently until the window cracks again.
