Consumer Description

BOTH WINDSHIELD WIPERS SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING MAKING IT EXTREMELY UNSAFE TO DRIVE. DEALERSHIP SAID BOTH MOTORS ARE BAD AND NEED TO BE REPLACED. AUTOMATIC LIGHTS JUST STARTED GOING ON RANDOMLY IN THE DAYLIGHT AND THE BRAKE LIGHTS WOULD BE ILLUMINATED WHEN NOT BRAKING. BACK WINDSHIELD WIPER SUDDENLY DOES OFF WHEN IT'S NOT TURNED ON. IN THE LAST MONTH I HAVE SPENT MORE THAN HALF OF WHAT THIS CAR IS WORTH ON REPAIR! WHAT A LEMON!
