Windshield wiper failure for the 5th time after repairs at VW dealership. The wiper timing on the drivers side continues to fall out of sync. The wiper sensor does not detect wiper failure.
The windshield wipers stop functioning after cold freezing snow and rain. I have had the wipers repaired 4 times, but the issues continue to happen. The wipers fall out of timing, the wiper motor fails, and the fastening design strips out preventing the wiper to correct itself. The most serious failure happened while driving on the highway. The vehicle is under warranty and has been serviced 4 times.
WE HAVE RAIN SENSING WIPERS, BUT WE KEEP THE CONTROL IN THE OFF POSITION. UNFORTUNATELY, WHILE DRIVING ON SUNNY DAYS, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS SPORADICALLY GO OFF. THERE WILL BE TIMES WHERE THEY WILL WIPE JUST ONCE, BUT THEN THERE ARE TIMES WHERE IT JUST GOES OFF FOR MINUTES AT A TIME. IT COULD BE A SMOOTH ROAD OR A BUMPY ROAD. IT COULD BE AT A SHOW SPEED OR HIGH SPEED. DOESN'T MATTER. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD US THAT WE HAD THE SENSITIVITY TOO HIGH, BUT IN THE OFF POSITION, THEY SHOULDN'T GO OFF AT ALL. THIS IS A DAILY OCCURRENCE. AS IF THERE IS A SHORT SOMEWHERE. PLEASE HELP AS WE NEED THIS FIXED. A NEW VEHICLE SHOULDN'T HAVE AN ISSUE LIKE THIS. *TR
