I was driving long-distance on a highway at approx 55-60 mph. The whole trip through the Arizona desert was marked by periodic rain, at times very heavy. In the very heavy bursts of rain, the windshield wipers did a terrible job. I have never been shocked by poorly performing windshield wipers. My companion even commented on how unsafe it is. The problem may be two-fold: (1) it seems like the wipers needed one more speed settings, a faster one. (2) the factory blades may not be effective. This is a 2 month old car. It also seemed to be a problem anytime I had to turn the wipers on their highest setting even later on urban freeways - I needed a higher one. I plan to replace the blades and hope that helps. I've never been driving and feared I was in danger because of the wipers. I don't have any documentation. Nothing is visibly broken.
