Consumer Description

WIPERS HAVE TURNED AND WILL NOT SHUT OFF WHILE THE CAR IS RUNNING AND AM UNABLE TO CHANGE THE SPEED OF THE WIPERS. IT STARTED WITH THEM TURNING ON WHEN THE LEFT BLINKER WAS ACTIVATED, BUT THEY WOULD SHUT OFF WHEN THE BLINKER DID. THEY ARE NOW TURNING ON EVERY TIME THE CAR IS STARTED AND WILL NOT SHUT OFF UNTIL THE CAR IS TURNED OFF. THEY WASHER SPRAYER DOES NOT WORK ANYMORE EITHER. THIS IS VERY DISTRACTING WHEN TRYING TO DRIVE UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS BECAUSE THE WIPERS KEEP MOVING IN FRONT OF YOU AND THEY SCREECH HORRIBLY SINCE THE WINDSHIELD IS DRY AND THE WASHER FLUID NO LONGER WORKS. THIS IS ALSO VERY DANGEROUS WHEN DRIVING IN THE RAIN BECAUSE YOU CAN NOT CHANGE THE SPEED OF THE WIPERS TO KEEP UP WITH THE HEAVINESS OF THE RAIN. I HAVE FOUND THROUGH MANY FORUMS THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE MAKE AND MODEL.
