| Windshield Wiper/washer Motor problems |
: the contact stated without warning, the windshield wipers stopped working. The dealership determined the windshield wiper motor needs to be replaced.
My wiper motor on my vehicle went out because it has one wiper and the gear powering it is plastic and stripped out. I know two other people personally that this has happened to, and while searching for this part used I've found that this part is sold out all around the country due to these motors going out all the time.
