Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING DURING INCLEMENT WEATHER WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED FUNCTIONING, CAUSING POOR VISIBILITY. *AK THERE'S A ITEM LOCATED JUST UNDER THE HOOD ON THE FIREWALL, THAT IF IT GETS WET I WOULD CAUSE THE WIPERS TO MALFUNCTION. ON ONE OCCASION, THE CONSUMER'S WIFE WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN IT STARTED TO RAIN, THE WIPERS FAILED. THE 1997 MODELS WERE RECALLED BUT THE CONSUMER OWNS A 1998 WHICH EXPERIENCED THE SAME DEFECT. *PH *NLM
