problem #1

Altima 4-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 71,223 miles
Windshield wiper control assembly fell apart on the drivers side. The only wiper that works is passenger side now. It was snowing hard and almost caused a accident on I81 in syracuse. I removed assembly and inspected it. Which looks like the cause was lack of grease in the ball and socket joint of control linkage.
