Driving home with in freezing weather after a snow storm, every few minutes cleaning the windshield with washer fluid, where after stopping the car for a few minutes, the wipers refused to function while driving (attempting to clean the windshield from the road salt). Had to carefully pull over, checked the fuses, and cleared all ice from the windshield cowl and wiper blade arms, then it worked. None of my older cars had this issue.
