While raining windshield wiper arms fell off, consumer was unable to see, and had to have arm out of the window to hold wiper amr on. Took to dealer, and they only tighted up the bolt. It's loose again, vehicle has been in shop over 6 times for the same problem. The dealer states that warm weather causes wipers to stick to window.
