This has happened twice so far. The first time, my windshield wipers stopped in a vertical position instead of the normal horizontal position. I was told by the dealer ship, that the manufacturer stated this happens due to the stopping mechanism getting wet. My warranty wouldn't cover it because it was a weather related repair. I guess I am supposed to drive my car with a big tarp over it, so that nothing gets wet? I paid $300 to get a new wiper motor etc. About 10 months later, the same thing happens. I am not paying another $300 to fix it, if it is going to keep happening. I think that the manufacturers should look into this as being a recall. If something is getting wet inside the wiper motor, and $300 isn't going to fix it. . . . . . . .
