Consumer Description

THE FUNCTION OF THE RADIO AND WINDSHIELD WIPERS IS INTERMITTENT. UPON START THESE DEVICES DO NOT APPEAR TO HAVE ELECTRICAL POWER AND DO NOT FUNCTION. I SUSPECT THERE ARE OTHER ITEMS THAT DO NOT WORK EITHER, BUT I HAVE NOT CONFIRMED THEM. THEY BOTH FUNCTION PROPERLY WHEN THE ENGINE IS RESTARTED. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON 2 OCCASIONS OVER A 1 WEEK PERIOD. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE SINCE IN A RAINSTORM, THE VISIBILITY WOULD BE NIL. OTHERWISE THE VEHICLE FUNCTIONS NORMALLY.
