Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Windshield wipers bolts have loosened 5 times since 2003. the latest was on 4/12/07. the time before was 0 on 1/28/07. four out of the five events happened during rain and snow events on i- 95 driving at 65 mph. one second you can see, the next you cannot. i for one have never seen bolts holding windshield wiper arms onto the vehicle in the first place. obviously for good reason. something needs to be done to correct this situation. *ak
