Wiper problems of the 2014 Mitsubishi Outlander

Windshield wipers don’t work drivers side works but won’t go all the way down the passenger side don’t work at all when it wants to work it gets stuck in the other wiper and bends the arms.

Since I've owned the vehicle there have been two prior recalls concerning the wiper motors. The last repair was not right and I complained to any that would listen yet nothing was done. Now my wiper blade motor is failing in the same way as the prior recall spoke of. My blades function erratically and do not come back to rest in the park position. The original recall work and parts where subpar at best.

We had a spontaneous sunroof glass explosion. We were driving down the highway approximately going 65mph at night, and there was no other vehicles around. All of a sudden there was a large explosion sound. I thought at first that a tire may have blown. I then heard a large amount of wind coming from the top of car. I pulled over to inspect and saw the sunroof was shattered, with many of the pieces on top of the inside shield.

The first time I drove this vehicle in the snow I realized that the wipers are placed below the heated part of the windshield. This causes the wipers to freeze up and not clear the windshield properly reducing visibility. I think that an angled wiper arm that places the wiper over the defog would correct the problem. I've driven in snowy weather twice since and it has happened each time.
