What owners wrote

I own a 2003 honda accord and on 5/16/2011 I was driving back from the office when my car wipers suddenly stopped working. It was a rainy day with heavy t-storm. When the wipers stopped working, I suddenly lost control of the car and crashed into a ramp. In the accident I damaged my front bumper and hurt my back. The next day morning wipers starting working again. Over the next five days, I noticed this new trend in my vehicle caused by the sudden disruption of wipers.
