1 Windshield Wiper/washer problem of the 2004 Chevrolet Impala

Failure Date: 10/15/2009

Incident description = I purchased rain-x wiper at walmart for my 2004 Impala vehicle. It cost $17. 99+ and was a 22-inch model. A week or so later I ran into a heavy downpour while driving west on I-40 from memphis to little rock. The wiper portion of blade assembly began to work its way out of the end of the holder and quickly reached about 5 to 6 inches outside the holder. The rubber began to whip around and I had to pull off the highway to put the rubber part back in place. This happened 3 more times before I had to stop and search out a Mini-mart where I could buy a roll of electrical tape to tape the rubber end tightly enough so it would stop flying out of the holder.

4 Windshield Wiper/washer problem of the 2003 Chevrolet Impala

Failure Date: 11/08/2005

Driver's side wiper quit moving and got bent by the other wiper hitting it , so I took it to the dealer. They said it was probably because of turning them on when there was too much snow on them. They replaced the driver's side arm, which was stripped. It worked ok for a while, then the driver's side quit again, before it snowed. Took off arm and saw that the arm was stripped again. Switched the arms so I'd have at least one working wiper.

6 Windshield Wiper/washer problem of the 2003 Chevrolet Impala

Failure Date: 06/01/2004

The contact stated a screw in the passenger's side windshield wiper was loose. This problem should only appear in freezing conditions. However it happened when it was raining. This caused the passenger's side wiper was not to work properly. There was a reduction in visibility. The vehicle was taken to the dealership several times. Each time they tighten the screw located at the base of the wiper. There has been no permanent solution. Updated 1/25/2006.
