Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: This has happened twice so far. the first time, my windshield wipers stopped in a vertical position instead of the normal horizontal position. i was told by the dealer ship, that the manufacturer stated this happens due to the stopping mechanism getting wet. my warranty wouldn't cover it because it was a weather related repair. i guess i am supposed to drive my car with a big tarp over it, so that nothing gets wet? i paid $300 to get a new wiper motor etc. about 10 months later, the same thing happens. i am not paying another $300 to fix it, if it is going to keep happening. i think that the manufacturers should look into this as being a recall. if something is getting wet inside the wiper motor, and $300 isn't going to fix it........*nm
