problem #1

Feb 222009

Accent 4-cyl

  • 4,000 miles
The contact owns a 2004 Hyundai Accent. While driving 55 mph in the rain, the windshield wipers loosened and disconnected from the arm. The dealer tightened the wiper nuts and instructed the contact to not use the wipers during heavy rain or snow because they cannot modify the wipers each time they become loose. The contact feels that the wipers are unsafe because they can become loose at any time and cause limited visibility while driving. The current mileage was 34,000 and failure mileage was 4,000. 2/21/10 updated 03/02/10
