mcsquish Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 Ok, I'm starting to wonder about my car. Today I tried to use my rear wiper and it just sat there. There was a little bit of snow on the window that had blown off my car, but just a dusting. Anyway, I got out to see what was going on and it looks like the spline that connects the wiper motor to the wiper has stripped out. Now I had a problem in a hard rain about a month ago where it skipped a spline and I just thought it was some sort of safety thing so something didn?t break if it got hit or something. Can anyone tell me if this is common? I?m going to call the dealer to get it fixed and hope it is something covered since I have a ?05. I tried to search for this, but didn?t find anything.________Pov fantasy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilT Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 Never heard of that before, but yes, it should be covered under warranty. Double Award Winning Legacy GT Wagon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opie Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 Yor wiper was frozen to the car, was turned on and stripped and your wondering about the car? Driver = 1, Car = 0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcsquish Posted January 30, 2007 Author Share Posted January 30, 2007 Sorry Opie, I know it wasn't because I could be called "anal" about having clean wipers and windows. In other words, I knock off snow or ice from my wipers if I don't flip them up when I park. I would believe it that a previous owner may have done something though.? I'm wondering about my car because I have had the rotors turned due to squealing breaks a couple times and they are still squealing. Had a injector replaced. bent a wheel. ran over a putting green pick thingy in the middle on BFE and had to get a new tire. When in for an alignment and a rear toe bushing was frozen and had to be replaced (fought with the dealer for it to be covered). Plus some other things and I haven't had the car for 7 months. No way I'm getting rid of it though!!! Just weird little things. ________ HOTELS IN MEXICO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feersum dreadnaught Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 my dealer replaced the rear wiper with the wrong size - it was too long and got stuck against the wagon wing. it sat and tried to move, and ended up screwing up the wiper motor. dealer replaced it under warranty.

mcsquish Posted February 2, 2007 Author Share Posted February 2, 2007 OK, I'm officially an idiot. I took my car in, and about an hour after I dropped it off the dealer called me and let me know it was done. It?s amazing what a loose nut will do. ________ Amazon Gift Cards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
