Windshield wipers work and go through their cycles but do not park and instead stick straight up. This is a visibility hazard and well known by the dealership mechanics in this model century, yet as far as I know, there is no safety recall. I do not feel that I should have to pay for this repair.

What owners say
Consumer stated while driving in snow and rain windshield wiper fluid froze up. This caused poor visibility because the snow stayed on the window and became dirty. Without windshield washer this created a problem.
I own a 2000 buick century and have been having problems with my windshield wipers. They seem to have a mind of their own. They will go at whatever speed they want. They have progressively gotten worse, and are now at the point where they will completely stop but I can still hear the motor trying to run. I have tried to find out if there is a recall for this vehicle but am coming up blank. I am sure that I am not the only person with this problem.
Wiper motor failure and erratic functioning. This vehicle was built with a clear safety defect that will cause loss of life bad weather. General motor's corporation had a very recent and similar problem with gm manufactured trucks. This make and model should be recalled before loss of life!
Major problems are caused by poor design and can not be fixed 1)with one rear window open in rear vehicle shakes with great force 2) parking on unlevel gound cause frame to distort so doors ars stick 3) extreme glare from dash board 4)windshield wipers can not be alined.
