Owner Complaints (10)
Your windshield wiper arm has stripped at the connection point where it attaches to the linkage. In wet weather, this causes the wipers to swing past the end of the windshield instead of staying in their normal sweep area, leaving your windshield uncleared. The connection point will likely need to be repaired or the wiper arm assembly replaced.
