Can I request a replacement if the new car's wipers have issues?

The warranty period for new car wipers is 6 months or 10,000 kilometers. You can apply for a replacement if the warranty conditions are met. Replacement indications: As fragile items, there's no precise or uniform answer for how often new car wipers should be replaced. When you notice residual stains, streak marks, shaking, or unusual noises during wiper operation, it indicates the wipers need replacement. Replacement method: First lift the wiper arm away from the windshield until it's perpendicular to the glass. Then press the tab to remove the old wiper blade, insert the new wiper, and gently rotate the new blade until the hook snaps into place to secure it. Finally, return the wiper to the windshield.

I recently bought a new car, and within less than a month of driving, the windshield wipers started making strange noises and left obvious streaks when wiping, severely affecting driving safety in rainy weather. As an experienced driver, I fully understand the importance of windshield wipers. If a new car has quality issues during the warranty period, the manufacturer must take responsibility for replacement. I immediately contacted the 4S store where I purchased the car, brought the purchase invoice and vehicle registration certificate, and they confirmed it was a manufacturing defect after inspection, then replaced the wiper blades for free. The whole process was smooth and took only half an hour. Please note that new car warranties typically cover 3 years or 60,000 kilometers, and even wear-and-tear parts like wiper blades are included in the coverage. Don’t attempt DIY repairs to avoid voiding the warranty; regularly cleaning the wiper blades with a damp cloth can extend their lifespan. Although wiper issues may seem minor, they are crucial for driving safety—don’t neglect or delay addressing them.

I noticed the wipers weren't cleaning properly right after picking up my new car. Every time it rained, it felt like driving through fog, which really affected my mood. New drivers might not know this, but new cars come with a full warranty covering even small components - as long as it's not human damage, you can get free replacements. I went to the 4S store to complain, and after verification, they replaced them without hesitation, saving me the cost of buying new parts. Remember to bring your purchase contract or take photos as proof. The sales staff were quite friendly, so don't hesitate to voice your concerns. By the way, it's essential to check your wipers before the rainy season. Using professional windshield washer fluid can reduce friction. The warranty terms are in the maintenance manual - find them and have a look. A few simple steps can make driving much safer.

I encountered an issue with the wipers on my new car—they were jumping around while wiping, making driving in the rain particularly unsafe. As a parent, I rely heavily on the clarity of the wipers when driving my kids to and from school. When a new car has such a problem, it needs to be addressed immediately. Since it was still under warranty, I went straight to the dealer to request a replacement, and they provided the service for free. I brought the necessary documents to the shop, and the issue was resolved quickly. Usually, parking in the shade and avoiding direct sunlight can help protect the wiper blades. Don’t hesitate—act fast.

I care a lot about car accessories. If the new car's wipers make abnormal noise or don't wipe evenly, it's clearly a factory issue. During the warranty period, you can definitely request a replacement. I went to the 4S store to demonstrate the problem, and after their inspection confirmed it was a component failure, they quickly replaced the whole set. For daily use, it's recommended to clean the windshield gently and avoid scratching it with hard objects. Warranty is your right, don't ignore it.
