Windshield wiper failure by model year
What owners say
Windshield wipers stay on when turned off in the fast mode.
Windshield wipers fail intermittently. We've taken it into the dealer several times, but they were unable to duplicate the problem. We've had the switch replaced several times, but that has never solved the problem. Since we only use wipers when it rains, the failure has causes a dangerous situation. I been in several near misses when this has occurred, one when a tractor trailer sprayed my windsheild and I couldn't see. Mazda has been unwilling to voluntarily investigate the cause detail. As a result, we've continually had to bring the vehicle back into the shop for repair. We currently have the vehicle in the shop for the same issue, but I'm concerned that mazda will just replace the switch, collect their money, and send us on our way. From past experience, replacing the switch has not solved the problem. As the rainy season approaches, I hope this matter can be resolve before a wiper failure causes a serious accident, injury, or even death.
While traveling windshield wipers and washer would come on without any indication. Dealer has been contacted. *ak
