Description of the problem	Driving on a busy highway during a rainstorm and the windshield wipers stopped in the up position. I had to slow down quickly and find my way onto the shoulder since visibility went to zero and there was traffic all around me. You could still hear the wiper motor turning but the wipers wouldn't move from the up position. I had to wait over an hour and a half for the rain to stop before i was able to drive home. Due to traffic on the highway and the rain on the pavement, i was only able to drive at a speed of 25-30 mph, since traffic was lifting the rain off of the pavement and onto my windshield. This could have been a terrible situation where a severe accident almost occurred due to the windshield wiper motor and linkage system failed. I have called my local dealership and found that a recall hasn't been issued for this problem but that there have been thousands of reports to this faulty issue. I have also found that there is a recall for this issue in canada but not in the united states, which is concerning.
