“Every now and then we will be driving the vehicle and the windshield wipers will stop working. I check all the fuses and everything seems good but they stop. The only way to get them back working is to remove the negative battery post from the battery for 10 minutes. I done research and they were saying something about the tipm module. We are concerned for our safety. All this happened in brevard, nc pulling into ingles.”
