    Was on the way to the Doctor and decided to take the Tundra due to me knowing it had a full tank of gas. On the way there I was on the Interstate and had to use the windshield washer fluid due to salt on the road being splashed up on the windshield. At first both wipers worked fine but on the second wipe the driver side wiper stopped working and I had it set on high speed and the passenger wiper bent my driver side blade. Took it to Toyota explained what happened so the truck is hanging out with them now. I got a free ride home and even got some free donuts. It is under warranty so I will let you guys know whats up with it.

    Good luck!

    Someone had a similar issue the other day. I think we all need to check and make sure the bolts are tight on the windshield wiper arm.

    Sometimes I stop by my dealer on the weekends because they almost always are having a barbecue. Usually street tacos and hotdogs. Thanks for the free food and drinks! Peace!

    A warped dashboard would likely cause this.

    Warped dashboard causes windshield wipers to malfunction? How so? Isnt the dashboard inside the truck. Wipers on the outside? What am I missing.

    I do something similar, but instead I drop by @COMiamiFan house for BBQ.
    I think they’re catching on though. I spotted a new front yard camera. When walking up to the front door I hear running around, Jose’s wife yelling “ he’s back...kids be quiet!”
    I ring the doorbell and Jose answers in his robot voice “we are not in right now, please come back later”...
    I respond “well that’s a dumb way of letting everyone know your gone Jose.”
    Jose robot voice “no it isn’t...buh-bye now..”

    Just be glad you got it to the dealership before taking out a couple hundred mailboxes and going over a cliff.


    You didn’t snap your nips by any chance, did you?

    Sounds like the second wiper may have stripped its bolt due to the ice.

    Had a wiper stop working a long time ago, can't remember if it was or first Tacoma or another car. Anyway the nut holding the wiper arm just got loose. Tightened it in the right the place and was good to go.
