Description of the problem | I live in central florida, it rains heavily apart every evening. On my way he today we had yet another storm. I turned on the wipers to full speed and everything was fine until the wipers started to slow down, then only wipe every second or two and not continuously at the high speed. This caused my visibility to be non existent. I turned them off, then back to the highest setting. It did the same thing. I tried the setting below where they aren't fast, but a continuous wipe, it did the same thing in that setting. I haven't had a problem until now. This almost caused a serious accident as i couldn't see to pull over. |
