#2 - Windshield Wiper/washer problem of the 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe
The vehicle having this issue was a 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe. The washer fluid does not squirt onto the window. At best, the fluid sometimes dribbles out and hits the lowest part of the window, but only after holding the washer fluid button for up to 30 seconds. The dealership told me that the line was probably frozen and there was nothing they could do. They recommended I check the fluid line for blockage or heat it up with a hair dryer. I have the same problem on two different cars from the same manufacturer, and the problem exists in all types of weather. During light snow and rain, the window gets dirty and I have to pull off the road to clean the window in order to continue driving. I think that's a significant safety issue. It was Monday, December 1, 2008 when this windshield wiper/washer issue happened.

The vehicle having this issue was a 2003 Hyundai Santa Fe. The vehicle's vehicle identification number (VIN) was KM8SC73D93_. Consumer experiencing problems with windshield wiper blades, and has the impression that it is a common problem. The dealer told the consumer the wiper blades but be loosened from the windshield manually before they are turned on or they will not work. The dealer also told the consumer to try and find any loose nuts and re-tightened them, which the consumer did, which did not keep the wipers from stopping in the middle of operation. The consumer was not satisfied with the installation of the running boards and had them replaced at his own expense. The heater made a noise as if something was caught in the fan box.

#6 - Windshield Wiper/washer problem of the 2003 Hyundai Santa Fe
The vehicle is a 2003 Hyundai Santa Fe. Windshield wipers bolts have loosened 5 times since 2003. The latest was on 4/12/07. The time before was 0 on 1/28/07. Four out of the five events happened during rain and snow events on I- 95 driving at 65 mph. One second you can see, the next you cannot. I for one have never seen bolts holding windshield wiper arms onto the vehicle in the first place. Obviously for good reason. Something needs to be done to correct this situation.
