problem #1

A local New York state and aaa approved auto repair shop has information from a national database "alldata", that windshield wipers that do not park or shut off is a common problem in my particular Honda year and model. During a minimal amount of rain or splashing of water from other vehicles the continuing wipers smudges the windshield causing almost zero visibility. Faulty operating windshield wipers/motor will not pass New York state inspection, therefore NHTSA should consider this a safety issue and proceed with a recall.
