VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER:LINKAGES
APPROXIMATELY 3-4 WEEKS AGO I WAS DRIVING MY 2000 FORD F150 PICKUP ON I96 DURING RUSH HOUR IN LANSING, MI. THERE WAS A SUDDEN THUNDERSTORM WITH HAIL. I TURNED MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS ON THE FASTEST SPEED AND AFTER APPROXIMATELY 2- 3 MINUTES THE PASSENGER SIDE WIPER GOT OUT OF SYNC AND JAMMED UNDER THE DRIVER SIDE WIPER CAUSING BOTH OF THEM TO STOP WORKING. TRAFFIC WAS GOING FAIRLY FAST AND I LOST WHAT VISIBILITY I DID HAVE. FORTUNATELY I WAS GOING BY AN EXIT AND COULD QUICKLY GET OFF THE EXPRESSWAY TO WAIT OUT THE STORM. WHEN I GOT HOME FROM WORK I TOOK THE COVER OFF THE PASSENGER WIPER AND HAD TO TIGHTEN THE NUT THAT HOLDS IT ON. THEY HAVE WORKED FINE SINCE THEN BUT I WOULD NOT WANT TO HAVE THIS SAME THING HAPPEN TO SOMEONE ELSE IF THEY ARE ON AN EXPRESSWAY DURING A THUNDERSTORM. (PS: THE INCIDENT DATE I BUT ON THE FORM IS APPROXIMATE. I DIDN'T THINK OF REPORTING THIS UNTIL I HEARD AN NHTSA COMMERCIAL TODAY SAYING TO REPORT SAFETY INCIDENTS.). *NLM
