During rainstorm at night traveling on light road with lights out on poles due to lightning strike, cars windshield wipers suddenly stopped working at high rate of speed with a down pour of rain that was hard to see in anyway. The passenger side wipe transmission assembly broke causing the drivers side wiper to not work either since the passenger side is designed to run both. The part was made of plastic and seem to be designed for failure as anyone knows plastic once heate4D and cooled thru seasons will break. The potential hazard could have been many deaths as the driving was in a large city with high traffic had not I been able to gradually slow down due to a curb being on the side of the road that allowed me to feel my way driving.. nlm
