“Went out one morning to start my car and let it warm up. Turned the wipers on to clear the windshield, and they went h alfway up and stopped. Shut them off, and the parked in the up position from then on. When traveling down the interstate with them in the up position, they would vibrate excessively due to the wind, and I thought they would be ripped off the glass. Had to have the entire assembly fixed, for $700. This has happened a lot with this model car from what I've seen and read.”
