Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Windshield wipers leave a oily film on windshield that result in severe streaking on glass. the dealer replaced them in june and told me at that time they had experienced numerous complaints about this problem. they told me acura had gone to a softer rubber on the blade and it was not holding up well. both the dealer and acura customer service told me to clean the wipers with alcohol when the problem arises. i have never had to do this with any other car. there are two other people in my office with 2000 tl's and they are both having the same problem. you cannot use your wipers to clean the window unless you want it smeared. this is a real problem if you are driving into the sun as you can't see through the haze.*ak |
