I was driving home or not and it was raining. I turned the windshield wipers on. They were working to begin with but after a few minutes, they just quit working altogether. You could hear the motor running for the wiper, but they just wasn’t moving so I had to see it on the side of the road to it. Quit raining so I could make it home. and couldn’t find the part to fix the windshield wipers so my boyfriend has rigged it to where it would work

On three (3) separate occasions, the mechanical linkage for the windshield wipers have failed, and have been replaced at the dealership. Fortunately, this has never occurred during highway driving. In all cases, the weather conditions were well above freezing, so ice/snow was not a factor. "incident date" is the most recent of the three.

Wiper arm broke, leaving me in a downpour with no wipers. I was towed to service, but no dealer in three states had the part. All dealers and the regional office said that the part had been on backorder and was in demand, leading us to believe that the manufacturer was aware that there was a problem and was not acting to fix it. Regional parts supervisor confirmed this. After a day's search, we found a used part (at higher cost) 100 miles away.
