I was driving today on the highway and the windshield mechanism on my 2013 Audi Q7 snapped in half and flew off the car in heavy rains. Additionally, the only side affected by this is the passenger side windshield wiper; the driver side and back continue to work

Takata recall. Right passenger side wiper broke off while driving down a city street in greensboro nc. I had the wipers on the first setting in low intermittent mode. The wiper bowed up. It did not fly off my car thankfully because I was going about 45 mph. I was able to turn into a gas station and remove it and place it in my car. I am looking into trying to getting it repaired. I don't have to cost to replace it yet. This is a safety issue due to me not being able to see out of my windshield entirely. If the wipers were on full mode it could have flown off and struck another vehicle. The arms of these vehicles were poorly manufactured and there should be a recall and for those of us who had to pay to get it fixed should be reimbursed.

I was driving on a rainy night on a rural city street and the passenger wiper arm just broke off. I was kind of startled. I am positive that I didn't hit anything and I've several other complaints online of this happening to other Audi owners. This could be a major safety hazard if this was the hit someone while driving.

Wife pulled into garage on a stormy day and I was standing on passenger side with my 3 year old son. Passenger wiper arm snapped off and flew toward us and almost stabbed my 3 year old. At first I thought it was the wiper blade, but it was the whole entire arm. The broken end was sharpen like a knife blade...updated 10/06/17 updated 10/17/2017
