Consumer Description

WIFE LEFT HOUSE AT 4:45PM (NEAR DUSK) DURING RAIN. SHE GOT 2 1/2 MILES AWAY, PHONED AND SAID WIPERS ON 2006 PT CRUISER HAD STOPPED WORKING. WENT TO MEET HER ON SIDE OF ROAD AND DROVE CAR BACK TO HOUSE, HER IN FRONT OF ME WITH OUR FLASHERS ON, WHILE THE RAIN HAD SLACKED, BUT NOT COMPLETELY STOPPED. THE WIPERS WILL COME ON VERY SLOWLY AND EVENTUALLY STOP, IF I JIGGLE THE WIPER CONTROL AND TURN SIGNAL AT THE SAME TIME. I'VE CHECKED THE INTERNET AND IT SEEMS LIKE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR THIS VEHICLE. I DO BELIEVE THIS WARRANTS A RECALL, AS THIS COULD LEAD TO A VERY SERIOUS OR DEADLY ACCIDENT. I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY COMPLAINTS IT TAKES BEFORE SOMETHING IS DONE, BUT IT NEEDS TO BE DONE SOON. I HAVEN'T TAKEN THIS CAR TO A MECHANIC YET AS WE HAVE OUR OLD FORD PICKUP TO DRIVE ON RAINY DAYS, THANK GOD!!!!! *TR
