Risk: If this were to occur during bad weather, driver visibility would be reduced, which could result in a crash.
Remedy: Dealers will replace the wiper motor circuit board and cover. Owner notification began on june 19, 2003.

1. The windshield wipers have a mind of their own. The wipers don't work when the switch is turned on. Often the wipers will cycle when not needed and on their own. The wiper blades have to be replaced too often due to wear. We cannot control the speed of the blades with the switch. 2.
