About These NHTSA Complaints:
The NHTSA is the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints can be spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem. See the Back button — blue bar at the very top of the page — to explore more.
Vehicle windshield wiper drive failed catastrophically during a severe rainstorm while vehicle was traveling in inside lane at 65 mph in moderate traffic conditions on I-65 at lee St. I was very fortunate to get the vehicle off the interstate without crashing. Note: Drive motor for wipers operates passenger side with linkage to driver's side. No indication prior to failure. Drivers side bearing failed allowing linkage to drop from driver's side wiper pin. Design should be modified to drive the drivers side rather than the passenger side or linkage modified to allow gravity to secure the linkage to the driver's side drive pin.
