windshield wipers stop working during heavy rain & snow
Driving on a busy Ontario highway (401) during a blinding snow storm and the wipers just stop working, Luckily I was able to get the shoulder of the road, the wipers did resume working after about 25 minutes of resting (waiting for the tow truck) and they have been working since (about a week). I have just returned from the dealer where of course they were not able to replicate the issue, nor was there any errors in the computer either.
This is the second time that this has happened. The previous time was in the summer during a heavy rain storm. The dealer could replicate the issue that time and the switch was replaced.
This time I am pushing to have the motor replaced.
Update from Apr 29, 2016: have now replaced the wiper motor, monitoring the situation to see if the issue has been resolved.
