VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER
WIPERS AND WASHERS FAIL TO RESPOND WHEN NEEDED. THEY ARE VERY UNPREDICTABLE IN THEIR OPERATION AND OFTEN FAIL IN EMERGENCY SITUATIONS SUCH AS A SUDDEN SPLASH OR DOWNPOUR THAT CREATE A DANGEROUS SITUATION. OTHER MODELS OF THIS VEHICLE HAVE BEEN RECALLED AND I FEEL THIS MODEL AND SERIAL NUMBER RANGE SHOULD BE RECALLED AND FIXED ALSO BEFORE ANYMORE DANGEROUS SITUATIONS OCCUR.
