problem #3

Crosstrek

  • 27,500 miles
At highway speed the wiper blades do not properly clear and will leave area of puddled water on the windshield causing visibility for the driver to be made. At standstill the wiper blades will vibrate when you clean the windshield with the washer fluid. But a very noticeable vibrating wiper blade is visibly seen. This has been a problem from day one. I was able to find a set of aftermarket blades that somewhat fits the adapter that will fully make it operational. However, they are not properly secured to the wiperarms. I just had service at 27,500 miles and with the same results of replacing the wiperarms. Dealership does not seem to be too interested in fixing the issue. Due to the design of the wiper arm connections point. There are no aftermarket wiper blades I've been able to locate that will properly fit the wiperarms for both front blades. This is a safety concern at highway speeds. Not to mention the windshield will boil up faster with how the windshield washer solution will remain on the windshield and wiper arms at highway speed...... highway speed is anywhere from 60-80 mph.
