How can I fix the windshield wipers on my Kia Sportage?

Recently, my windshield wipers on my Kia Sportage have not been working properly. Every time I turn them on, they make a loud screeching noise and sometimes they don't even move. What could be the issue and how can I fix it?

It sounds like the wiper blades may need to be replaced. Over time, the rubber can wear down and cause the wipers to make noise and not work effectively.

You may also want to check the wiper motor and linkage as well. If they are damaged or worn out, they can also cause issues with the wipers.

I would suggest taking your Kia Sportage to a trusted mechanic for a proper diagnosis. They will be able to pinpoint the exact issue and provide a solution to fix it.
