WHILE DRIVING IN INCLEMENT WEATHER WINDSHIELD WIPERS COME ON AND OFF ON THEIR OWN. THIS IS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM.*AK

WINDSHIELD WIPERS INTERMITTENTLY FAILED TO OPERATE DURING INCLEMENT WEATHER. DEALER REPLACED THE WINDSHIELD WIPER CONTROL MODULE. *AK THE WIPER CONTROL MODULE DEVELOPED CRACKS. THE CONSUMERS CONCERN IS THAT THE SAME CONTROL MODULE WAS USED IN THE 1998 VEHICLE BUT THE RECALL STOPPED AT THE 1997 MODEL/YEAR AND THE RECALL SHOULD INCLUDE ALL MODEL YEARS THAT DEVELOP THIS PROBLEM. *SC *JB

THE CONSUMER HAD MULTIPLE PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE. THE SPARK WIRES CORRODED, THE HEAD GASKET LEAKED AND THE TRANSMISSION DID NOT WORK PROPERLY WHEN SHIFTED. DEALER NOTIFIED. *PH ALSO THE RADIATOR ERUPTED BETWEEN THE TRANSMISSION COOLER AND THE COOLER OF THE RADIATOR. *SC *JB

WINDSHIELD WIPERS WORK INTERMITTENTLY. WHEN ON DELAY WILL SOMETIMES WORK, BUT MOSTLY GO AT LOW SPEED REGARDLESS OF SELECTION. 20% OF THE TIME WIPERS WILL NOT TURN ON AT ALL.

DURING INCLEMENT WEATHER WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING, CAUSING POOR VISIBILITY TO THE DRIVER. *AK
