    My windshield wiper motor is going out...

    ...keeps slowing down during the middle portion of the windshield. And I don't have the faster speeds anymore. Ironic as it has been raining really hard the past few days.

    Was working fine this morning, but during lunch it started up. VERY annoying.

    So i drop by the dealer and inquire about the problem. They check it out and say my motor is broken and needs to be replaced, as well as the relay as it's probably being burned out by the excess motor load.

    You know how much to fix this?

    $1500!!!!!!!!

    WTF!!!!

    So here's what i need according to Smythe:

    202-820-53-42 - Electric Motor - $223
    202-820-46-26 - Relay - $100
    202-820-07-07 - Gearing - $700!!!

    So this is just for parts. They are going to charge $550 for labour!!!!

    OMG I almost had a heart attack.

    Granted my extended warranty should cover it, but dang!

    Anyone have this same problem?

    Still deciding what to do now....
