Description of the problem | Wiper speed is terrible! This has been an issue from the first time it rained after purchase. The highest speed is too slow. Regardless if i am driving at a high speed or low speed, the wipers do not clear the windshield fast enough, resulting in extremely poor visibility. A week after purchase i replaced the wipers with expensive blades. No luck. Have used rain-x many times. No luck. The problem is in the speed of the wiper arm. Hopefully this is recalled soon because i know that i myself have almost gotten in aman accident due to this issue. Now i actually pull off the road and stop driving, even in moderate rain fall. |
