Windshield wipers get stuck in the up position. Going highway speed in heavy rain. Lost visibility. Spoke with Larry Long with NHTSA. He advised that I make this report and that there are active recalls for this problem.
Windshield wipers stopped working during a rainstorm. The passenger side was stuck below the windshield and caused the driver side to also stop operating.
WINDSHIELD WIPERS FAILED TO WORK WHILE TRAVELING IN RAIN CONDITIONS. THE PASSENGER WIPER TRAVELS INTO THE DRIVER SIDE WIPERS MECHANISM AND PREVENTS THEM FROM WORKING. THIS HAS OCCURRED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS AFTER BEING "FIXED" BY THOR UNDER A RECALL. NEVER HAVE THEY REPLACED THE SYSTEM, ONLY WASHERS AND TIGHTENED BOLTS. TRAVELING IN THE RAIN AT NIGHT AND THEN AGAIN IN DAYLIGHT BOTH ON THE HIGHWAY, AT 55-70 MPH. THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED AT NO COST.
WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING DURING RAINSTORM. THEY WERE STUCK, THE DRIVER SIDE WAS PAST THE FRONT WINDSHIELD ON THE LEFT AND THE PASSENGER SIDE WAS STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WINDSHIELD BUT LOWER THAN THE WINDSHIELD ITSELF. THE CONSUMER STATED THE WINDSHIELD WIPER WAS REPLACED BY DEALER AT NO COST.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 THOR CHALLENGER RV. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDSHIELD WIPER LINKAGE WAS LOOSE AND BECAME LOCKED WITH THE DRIVER'S SIDE WIPER. THE FAILURE OBSTRUCTED THE CONTACT'S VIEW. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT CALLED CAMPING WORLD OF TAMPA (4811 MCINTOSH RD, DOVER, FL 33527, (888) 851-2832), BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 16,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. *DT*JB
THE WIPER BLADES MALFUNCTION. WHEN DRIVING WITH THE WIPERS ON, THE RIGHT WIPER GETS STUCK UNDER THE LEFT WIPER AND BOTH BECOME INOPERABLE. WE HAVE BEEN CAUGHT IN HEAVY RAINS SEVERAL TIMES WITH THE SAME RESULTS. I WENT FROM 26 INCH WIPER BLADES TO 21 INCH BLADES AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED. I HAVE REMOVED THE RIGHT SIDE WIPER, AND USE THE LEFT WIPER SPARINGLY. IT HAS HAPPENED WHEN I AM DRIVING 65 MPH AND WHEN I HAVE SEEN STATIONARY. I HAVE DISCOVERED THAT MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. MY ONLY SOLUTION IS I HAVE BEEN USING RAINX. THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE WIPER ASSEMBLY AND THERE DOES NOT SEEM TO BE A FIX FOR THE PROBLEM. IT IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE WITH THIS PRESENT PROBLEM. THERE WILL BE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT IF THIS PROBLEM IS NOT REMEDIED.
WIPERS FLOP TO ONE SIDE AND GET STUCK. TOOK TO THE DEALER FOR RECALL AND STILL NOT FIXED. HAS BEEN A PROBLEM SINCE NEW.
Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
