I was driving to the store in the rain and the driver's side wiper stopped working. My son replaced the bushings, then on my way into work in the rain both stopped working i took it to the repair shop and they tell me it is the wiper transmission and the transmission linkage. There is a recall in the us for 2013 but there needs to be for 2010-2013 like canada has. This dangerous

Original recall 09 v4 89000 was supposed to have fixed visibility issue. Car was taken in at the time of the original recall. The vehicle is showing symptoms of the exact same issue as before where defroster is no longer working because of controls not functioning. Radio is also out along with possible other unknown electrical issues. We've turn the car on and off several times hoping it was just a glitch, however…

Windshield wipers stopped working during a downpour on a 6 lane highway at night. Wiper was off the side of the drivers window, was able to push them back into place, and you can hear the wiper motor running, the spray still worked and the back wiper but the front wipers will not move. This was a very scary situation, even more ao that my 6 year okd was in the xar with me. This is a huge safety hazard.

While driving during a rainstorm the wipers stopped working. Checked the fuses, but all fuses were good. The windshield wiper fluid was working but not the wipers themselves.
