What owners say
My windshield wipers do not work in the rain and my turn signal on signal clicks when the turn signal isn't on. Both are problems with the 1997 model, and seem to be an ongoing problem with the 1998 models.
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.
Windshield wipers won't turn on. When you manually start them by moving wiper, then they start.
Internmittment operation of windshield wipers.
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.
