Windshield wiper arm failure: last Monday, the arm that connects the windshield wipers to the motor disconnected. If this had happend on last Friday, during a severe downpour I would have not been able to see the road. The dealer, freeman Nissan in santa rosa said that they sell one of these arms every two to three months. The arm has to be replaced.
(1) sudden, complete failure of windshield wipers, while driving in rain. (2) wiper linkage separated causing wipers to suddenly stop moving. (3) found plastic link socket end worn due to corroded pivot ball on center pivot assembly. Replaced with new link arm and new pivot assembly. Old parts are available.
