Description of the problem | While i'm driving southbound on i-75 in detroit, my driver side windshield wiper stops working and shoots all the way up the opposite way from where it sits at rest and stayed stuck there during a bad storm where there was flooded roads. Seconds after it malfunctions i hit a huge puddle of water due to me franticly try and see out my windshield and hydroplaned almost into another vehicle at 55-65 mph. This was one of the scariest experience of my life and now i'm stuck with a broken windshield wiper. I think this needs to be addressed as an issue because it was extremely dangerous and i'm very lucky to not have crashed my car. |
