Windshield wipers either quit or do not work at times, if you turn them to high speed then use washer fluid they may continue to work. The problem can not be duplicated by dealer. Only known repair is replacement of wiper motor by dealer, "that should fix it". Driver never knows if wipers will work when needed. Many simular complaints have been made to your agency!
