    Mileage at the reported incident

    NHTSA’s mileage field refers to the reported incident, not necessarily the filing date. This shows report counts, not the likelihood of a failure.

    MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS WOULD INTERMITTENTLY JUST STOP WORKING. THEY PROGRESSIVELY GOT WORSE, BUT WOULD JUST AS MYSTERIOUSLY START WORKING AGAIN. I HAD THEM CHECKED A COUPLE OF TIMES MOTOR WAS FINE, SWITCH WAS FINE. DURING A HEAVY RAIN MY WIPERS STOPPED WORKING UNEXPECTEDLY AT ABOUT 45MPH ON A MAJOR ROAD. I COULD NOT SEE ANYTHING, BUT MANAGED TO PULL TO THE SHOULDER WITHOUT A CRASH. NEEDLESS TO SAY THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD! DT
