Consumer Description

WINDSHIELD WIPERS TURN ON BY THEMSELVES WHILE IN OFF POSITION WHILE DRIVING, STOPPED AND PARKED. CAN NOT TURN THEM OFF MANUALLY, HAVE TO SHUT THE CAR OFF TO MAKE IT STOP. THEY DOESN'T ALWAYS WORK EITHER. WIPERS GO AS SHORT AS 5 WIPES EVERY 5 SECONDS TO UP TO 30 SECONDS-MINUTE OPERATING IN THE OFF POSITION. WIPERS DO NOT ALWAYS TURN ON. WHEN TESTING TO SEE IF THEY WILL COME ON, SOMETIMES THEY DO NOT TURN ON. CONCERN FOR THEM NOT TURNING ON WHEN IT RAINS. BEEN GOING ON FOR 6 DAYS STRAIGHT. LUCKILY THERE HASN'T BEEN RAIN, YET.
