“Windshield wipers work only intermittently. Fail to start, or quit while turned on. This is a safety hazard when driving in the rain. Seems to happen more in warm weather than winter. Has beenhappening since I bought this used vehicle a coupel of years ago, but is not becoming more frequent.”
NHTSA complaint #10067640, filed 2004-04, 49,000 miles“The front windshield wipers will suddenly stop working when it is raining. They will come back on after a few minutes or maybe not at all. Yesterday they did not come on at all, today they worked for about an hour and then they just stop. This has been going on for the last month. The rear wipers do fine.”
