When it happens

Too few of these reports state a mileage to give a range.

What owners wrote

“I live on the north Oregon coast, very rainy one minute, nothing the next. Rural area, could be anything man or beast in the road. The windshield wipers stopped operating in a heavy down pour even though I had the setting for the wipers on low. Felt unsafe, almost zero visibility. The wipers did not restart on their own, had to turn the switch on and off.”

“Wipers go into intermittent mode, even during heavy rains causing a large visibility issue/concern.”

“The wipers will slow down or stop even during heavy rain and on a constant setting (not an intermittent setting). I have to turn the switch on and off to get them to wipe continuously which is very dangerous during torrential rains.”

“- Place windshield wiper switch to continuous (second from fastest setting) - Continuous wipers make 25 full wipes of windshield then cut back to slower setting - I have tested and repeated this more than 10 times — it happens around 90% of the time the wipers are in continuous mode”
