Consumer has problem with windshield wipers, they intermittently work. In wet conditions they don't clear. Instead they smear the windsheild, making it very hard to see. On the highway when in motion they fly in the wind. Subaru has no remedy & tried to use heavy duty wipers, but they didn't make a difference.

The windshield wipers on the passenger's side became tangled with wipers on driver's side, because of a loose bolt. This distraction almost caused driver to crash. The wipers have been repaired.
