| Three times now in the last month the ds arm and blade has fallen off of my vehicle while driving - once when i was parked, once travel at 25 mph, and the third time traveling 60 mph. at no time was there snow or ice on my vehicle. this to me is a safety concern. if i am driving at 60-70 miles per hour on the expressway in the rain and the arm and blade falls off, i will be without a wiper arm and blade. there will be no way of stopping to look for this part. this is a safety concern to me. the dealership where we purchased the vehicle said that this happens quite frequently and isn't a problem. they said this probably has something to do with the cold weather. i know for a fact that these products go through extensive testing prior to vehicle launch. we would like the ds arm and blade totally replaced. there is probably something wrong with where the arm head casting connects to pivot assembly of the wiper module. *tr | |||

| When using the left turn signal the right signal sometimes flashes. sometimes the left signal will flash for a few seconds, then the right signal will flash a few times. failures are intermittent and inconsistent. also, the wipers and washers operate intermittently, and the high beam switch works about 20% of the time, sometimes requiring a stop to actuate the switch repeatedly so as not to blind oncoming traffic. | |||
