NHTSA complaint #10024070, filed 2003-06, 80,000 miles“My windshield wipers exhibit the symptoms described in campaign number 98v150001.

NHTSA complaint #10047332, filed 2003-11“When driving and windshield wipers were needed, they were inoperable, causing poor driver's visibility. Recall 98v150000 deals with same problem.

NHTSA complaint #8002914, filed 2002-01“98 v 150 001/ 98 v 150 000/windshield wiper wiring: windshield wipers work intermittently.

Consumer states wipers will work if you tap on the wiper motor, consumer also states his wiper symptoms are the exact same as what it states in the recall.”
