Consumer Description

STARTED VEHICLE AND THE WIPERS CAME ON AUTOMATICALLY AND WOULD NOT SHUT OFF (DESPITE THE WIPERS BEING IN THE OFF POSITION). THE CAR WAS STATIONARY. TURNED CAR OFF. IMMEDIATELY TURNED CAR BACK ON AND THE WIPERS WOULD NOT WORK AT ALL. WIPERS WILL NOT WORK WHEN RAINING AND GO FROM CONSTANTLY WORKING TO NOT WORKING AT ALL FOR NO REASON. VERY DANGEROUS IF IT IS RAINING, SNOWING, OR ANY PRECIPITATION IN THE SKY.
