What owners say
My isuzu windshield wiper recall. I have gone to isuzu many times to get these wipers fixed cause they turn off when I have them on. These people state that they didnt think there were a lot of cars that would have been recalled so they didnt order a lot of parts. This is my only vehicle and it stinks that the wipers dont work half the time. I work at night so it gets hard to see when it is raining and the wipers are turning on and off. It is now february and they still wont help me. This is getting rediculus. If this is a recall because it is a safety hazard then why isnt it fixed yet?

Windshield wipers stop working while driving in the rain without any notice at all. Had to pull off the road and get out in the rain and traffic to look under the hood to see if there was any thing I could do to fix the problem. Could not fix them so I had to wait until they wanted to work to finish driving to work.. Windshield wipers work when t h e y want to , this can be very hazardous at night or day in the rain..I checked isuzu and no recalls as of 07-17-2003. Something needs to be done by the dealers ir company's. *jb thank you david l. Barefoot
