We purchase this vehicle from little joe's Mitsubishi at 1601 S military hwy, chesapeake, va 23320 on May 20, 2016 as a pre owned vehicle. Two weeks after taking possession of the vehicle one day when it was raining, the wipers would stop with the wiper blades straight up and down and stay there till L hit the wiper handle on the steering wheel on the right side, L called the dealership and spoke to chris blair tje sales representative and advised him of this the same day it happened, he tol me he would transfer me to service, spoke to a manager name was nicole in service and told her the problem, she told me to bring the vehicle in, told her L would when L returned back to the state as L was out of state as this wiper situation happened to me on the way to the airport in my area. I scheduled an appointment for Friday June 17,2016 and they had a mechanic check it and this is what they said was possible wrong, see attached. They told me L would have to pay half of $632 which was $316 and L told them they needed to replace this as it was a safety issue, and god forbid if they stopped working while L was driving when it was raining or snowing or any wet condition L could be potentially involved in an accident as L would not be able to see where L am going, the service manager nicole who was rude said it was working when we had the vehicle, L told her L did not break it. I told her this is a safety related driving issue, she did not want to hear about it. I asked for the copy of the situation in relation to the wiper issue and told her L would file a complaint. I am asking they replace this safety related driving issue at there expense 100%, since May 20, 2016 till June 17, 2016 L have only put 1623 miles on the vehicle since L took ownership. The finance manager on May 20,2016 when asked if the fluids had been changed stated yes, service department says only oil was.
