problem #1

Rio 4-cyl

  • Manual transmission
  • 34,000 miles
: the contact stated the windshield wipers failed. The retaining nut on the windshield wiper arm loosens, causing the windshield wipers not to function. The dealership inspected and tightened the retaining nut, but the problem still exists. The manufacturer has been alerted however, no other repairs have been made.
