Wiper Problems of Mazda MAZDA5

The car was sitting in the driveway and an eight inch cracked developed. There were not any chips in the windshield and it looked like it was a stress crack. Was not very happy. When investigating I learned that there are a lot of other people with the same problem. It seems like Mazda should address this problem to keeps buyers coming back.

On 4/15/2011, a set of new meijer brand beam-style wiper blades were pursched for a 2009 Mazda5 and were installed on the car by th owner. On the morning of 4/19/2011, the vehicle was traveling north on interstate 71/75 in kentucky through a thunderstorm, and the driver side (26") wiper blade failed. The vehicle speed at the time of failure was approvimately 65 miles per hour. The beam/blade assembly completely broke free from the chip that attaches to the wiper arm and was thrown from the vehicle. Visibility was compromised, but the driver was able to safely continue to the intended desitantion.

At 42,300 miles both front windshield wiper blades ripped off the wiper arm at exactly the same time, while driving in very heavy rain. When I went to get new blades, the parts manager explained that the driver side 26" blades are not sold seperately from the arm, and iiwould have to purchase a whole new arm w/blade, although distributors do offer the right sized blade replacement blade for the passenger side. This vehicle is not even two years old, why are the rubber blades ripping off the arm? luckily there were no injuries or accidents as the result of this problem.
