Windshield wiper failure by model year
What owners say
Backed vehicle onto ramps to get underneath and replace speed sensor in the differential. Vehicle rolled off steep end of ramps, bouncing about 8 inches. As a result of either the repair or the bounce, the vehicle has a strong gasoline smell and a diagnostic p0455 (eecs large leak). While investigating noticed that the vehicle apparently does not have the metal skid pad under the gas tank, and never did. Eecs canister appears to be just in front of the spare tire, also nonstandard. Beginning to think I was sold some sort of lemon. Car was purchased new, also has the intermittent wiper and pinging problems others have reported.
The multi-function switch for the windshield wipers failed. A recall was issued. However, this vehicvle was not involved in the recall due to VIN.
While driving in inclement weather windshield wipers came on and off on their own. Dealer was aware of this is an intermittent problem.
Engine sporadically stalls out. Vehicle starts right back up. Dealer can duplicate the proble. *ak the dealer has fixed tfi module twice. Recall on the wiper switch but replacement part is not avalable.
Windshield wipers come on spontaneously while driving at all speeds (MPH); also steering wheel locked up after windshield wipers eon at speed of 65mph pulling car to right resulting in crash. The airbags on the driver side and the passenger side failed to deploy.
Windshield wipers are working intermittently.
