No summary
Windshield wipers are working intermittently, and sometimes the wiper's don't work at all.
Windshield wipers continuously started and stopped, eventually stopping altogether while driving in the rain. Wiper motor and circuit board were replaced at owner cost to resolve the problem. Activation of antilock brakes produce vehicle surges and/or greatly increased stopping distances and/or do not stop vehicle. Problem has persisted since the vehicle was purchased new in 1993. Also, on descents of muddy, snowy and/or rocky roads, antilock brakes while activated increase speed of vehicle and will not the stop vehicle unless the antilock feature is deactivated by releasing and then depressing the brake pedal. Problem occurs at all speeds (3mph through highway speeds). Normal braking is ok. Brake pads have been replaced at normal intervals and front rotors have also been relaced - neither replacement corrected or improved the antilock braking system's operation or responsiveness.

Abs system failed-it starts to kick in, then releases, sent us into intersection and near misses with cars-paid to have brakes replaced, didn't correct the problem (told it must be a problem with ABS computer system); wipers occasionally begin slowing and work intermittently; differential was out when we purchased the car and we had to pay for the parts, appears to be happening again 2 years later.
Windshield wipers would not come on when switch is turned on. The problem is intermittent. Sometimes would come on. This causes driver to have poor visibility in rain. Been to dealer & mechanic. Tested wipers & replaced the pulse module.
