My vehicle is a 2004 audi a4 cabriolet with a 1.8t engine. windshield wipers stop working. while driving on the pa turnpike in the rain my windshield wipers stoped in the middle of the windshield and would not move. i was lucky it wasnt at night because i was unable to see the lanes in the road or other cars infront of me. i pulled over and waited for the rain to stop. when i contacted the audi dealership to ask what they thought it could be i was told that it was most likely caused by the windshield wiper transmission becoming coroded with rust and being unable to move. the service technitian said this was a common problem with these cars and they had just finished repairing one this week (southhills audi, pittsburgh pa) i made an appointment at the dealership to have my vehicle inspected and 2 weeks later after the inspection was told that the wipers have definitely stoped working because of the amount of rust on the windshield wiper transmission. i was quoted 600 dollars to fix and left to drive home since they didnt have the parts. | |||
