Description of the problem | When the weather is cold (below freezing), while driving, after sitting outside overnight, or in snowy conditions, the windshield wipers freeze and do not work until the weather warms up, or the vehicle is parked in a garage. I live in the mountains of colorado and this has been an ongoing issue during cold and snowy weather. This is a safety hazard as the roadway is no longer visible because the windshield wipers no longer work. |
