While I love my 2002 Chevrolet Impala it has two major problems which affect its safety. First, I hd replaced the windshield wiper blade assembly twice in 1.5 years and the linkage had been reset two separate times. The windshield wipers stayed in an upright position, blocking the view from the windshield. The second problem was the rear brakes, which deteriorated and crusted, requiring full replacement of the brake pads, rotors, etc. This could cause brake failure if no action was taken by the owner and a responsible mechanic. The most recent failure date of the windshield wiperswas listed below. The brakes were fully replaced in March 2007.

Windshield wiper blades keep failing in the winter months. Dealer keeps saying need to clean better, but that has not worked, and they have failed while in use on the highway. It is a safety issue in my mind. Keep putting new parts into the wiper train. At my expence and it still is a problem every winter.
