About three weeks ago my windshield wipers stopped working when it was raining. I had to pull over until the rain stopped. My mechanic did a diagnostic and thought there was a bad connection with the transmission but the windshield wipers still won't work. I then was told it could be the windshield wiper motor.

My sunroof on Toyota Corolla (after market glass from webasto company) was flew off on the freeway 805 in san diego, around 6-7pm.. I was shocked with unexpected noise. My speed was about 66 M/H. is anybody else got the same experience with the same issue... the first glass company I called told me it is going to coast me $400 to repair. Is it really my fall"??"

Driver's side mirror plastic holding snapped that keeps mirror in the open/ closed position. Due to the plastic holding being snapped, the mirror wobbles and does not stay in the open position. It makes driving very dangerous with the lack of a mirror to turn and merge safely. As speeds increase, the force of the wind will force the mirror into the closed position making the mirror useless.

Wipers stopped working on all speeds. This impacts driving in the rain, especially at high speeds. Wipers are now only one speed and I need to pull over if it is pouring. This is also a safety hazard, especially on the interstate when it is pouring rain and visibility is low for all drivers concerned.
