Front wiper motor stalled during rainstorm, travelling 55mph on major highway. Wiper and wiper fluid motor quit unexpectedly while in operation or while stopped. Sometimes a buzzing sound occurs with the failure. I discovered that I can tap the wiper motor module and the wiper motor may begin again, but its work will be shortlived. Another problem I encountered with this vehicle was a meltdown and small fire under the driverside dash. The rocker switch that controls the dome light has an "auto" and an "off" position. While in "auto" for about 1 hour with the doors open, I noticed smoke coming from underneath the dash and the rocker switch had melted down due to excessive heat building up in the contact. I contacted the local dealer when I purchased a replacement switch who commented that these switches were a problem.
