Windshield wiper on drivers side does not stay on windshield. During rain storm, going 60mph on interstate, wiper starts across windshield, goes in a semi circle, out away from glass then hits windshield. It goes back and does the same thing, never clears the glass from rain. If a truck goes by and sprays water, snow, slush, there is no way the windshield clears. You can't see a thing. This has alsmost caused an accident. We have called the olds dealership and also where we bought the vehicle and all the answers we get is that we have to live with it. They tried putting a new wiper on it but that did not solve the problem. Someone is going to get killed if this can't be fixed. We have had no luck in getting someone to look at this. A mechanic did a test drive, saw what it did, but could not offer an answer. Would appreciate someone either looking into this or at least to give us a call. Thank you. Keith & margaret downs.
