When driving at highway speed (60mph or greater) the wiper will over run the windshield when initially turned on. This is resulting in destroying the blade and creating a safety problem. It has happened for several years but the GM dealers tell me they have never heard of this problem. I was told by a former Bosch (current manufacturer) vice-president that when Bosch purchased this manufacturing line from ut automotive, they noticed the problem and advised G.M. of the issue. G.M. chose to do nothing. While my car is older, this issue has been present even when the vehicle was newer. I am reporting it now because it is getting worse. *updated 12/12/07 updated 12/12/07

: the contact stated, while driving in heavy rain at 50 mph., the wiper blades on the windshield collided with each other. The driver side blade/assembly was torn from the wiper arm and the passenger blade/assembly was twisted out of position for proper operation. Updated 07/25/06.

Windshield wipers will not return when off, they run but stay up when off.

Windshield wipers suddenly stopped while we were driving in a torrential 3-hour downpour. Had to pull onto shoulder and drive with no forward visibility until reaching a town with a garage. This was on highway 77 in South Texas, a very heavily travelled road. We were lucky to have avoided being hit from behind. The problem was that the wiper drive arm had come off the ball-shaped stud on the drive crank. One of the two 5 mm screws had come out of the clamp holding the drive arm to the drive stud. This is a serious weakness in this vehicle as a more secure locking method should be used for this clamp (I added locknuts to the screws on my clamp). This arm mounting undergoes a lot of cycles with fairly heavy alternating loading, and should be much more positively fastened than it is. I suggest that these vehicles be recalled and a better locking system added to the wiper drive arm.
