DT: WHEN DRIVING IN A HURRICANE INDUCED RAINSTORM THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED. UNABLE TO SEE, THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME THIS HAD HAPPENED. HAD TO PULL OFF ROAD BECAUSE WAS UNABLE TO SEE. THESE WIPERS WERE INACTIVE FOR 10-15 MINUTES. THEY STARTED BACK FUNCTIONING ON THEIR OWN. THEY WORKED FOR ABOUT 5-7 MINUTES BEFORE STOPPING AGAIN. CONSUMER OPENED HOOD AND SHOOK WIRING TO WINDSHIELD WIPERS AND THEY BECAME ACTIVE AGAIN. HOWEVER THEY WERE WORKING INTERMITTENTLY AFTERWARDS. DID CONTACT MANUFACTURER, FILED COMPLAINT AND THEY NOTED BY THIS PROBLEM WAS DUE TO SODERED JOINTS AND CONNECTOR PINS THAT CAUSE MALFUNCTION. NO REPAIRS HAVE BEEN MADE BUT PLAN TO HAVE REPAIRS AS OF TOMORROW. *AK

STARTING AROUND 70,000 MILES, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS STARTED TO MALFUNCTION. WHEN I ATTEMPT TO TURN THEM OFF THEY WILL OFTEN CONTINUE TO RUN FOR 30 SECONDS OR LONGER BEFORE STOPPING.

WHEN I TRY TO USE THEM ON THE INTER. SPEEDS THEY OFTEN RUN AT A REGULAR SPEED WITH NO PAUSES BETWEEN WIPES. *JB

WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING AND THEN RESUMED FUNCTION AFTER AN UNSPECIFIC LENGTH OF TIME. *JB
