Hi I did not wreck my car. This has occurred for over a year. My windshield wipers quit working and then they work sporadically. My husband bought a new motor last year but when we checked it the motor said it was fine so we sent the new one back. I have taken my car to the Nissan dealership but when I got on the road to take it my windshield wipers started working again. I took there anyway and they charged me $160 I still have the receipt. They said they didn't see anything wrong but I honestly think they didn't look. Yesterday I took it to another mechanic Fastlane in Hiram Georgia Brandon looked at it and said it was the motor was not getting enough juice. We are going tomorrow to get another Motor at O'Reilly's in Dallas Ga today is On [XXX] and [XXX] I had to drive my car to work with no windshields wipers I had no choice. I have never had a car that this happened to. I have a really nice car and shouldn't even have to write this. My brother passed away in a car wreck and I shouldn't even have to think about getting in my car and dying because of the windshield wipers not working when I'm trying to drive. This has been going on for over a year. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
