Failed windshield wiper bearings. Replace with new. My wife's 2005 quatro is doing the same thing [xxx]! They just keep slowing down and finally seize -- wiper don't go. The bearing can not be lubricated or serviced -- $400 to put in new. Audi says happens in cold climates. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (Foia), 5 U.S.c. 552(B)(6).
