“Dt:the windshield wipers work intermittently and eventually stopped working altogether. The consumer could hear the motor running ,but they did not move the arms. Took vehicle to a dealer, and no repairs were performed because consumer's vehicle was not included in recall 03v159000 due to VIN. Dealer did not know why this problem occurred.”
