WINDSHIELD WIPERS FAIL TO START ABOUT 20% OF THE TIME WHEN TURNED ON. SHAKING THE WIPERS WILL CAUSE THEN TO START AND WORK CORRECTLY FOR A WHILE. VEHICLE HAS PULL WHEN BRAKEING AFTER BEING DRIVEN FOR 5-10 MILES. PULL IS UNPREDICTABLE. SOMETIMES RIGHT, SOMETIMES LEFT, SOMETIMES NOT AT ALL, AND SOMETIMES IT STARTS TO PULL RIGHT, THEN ENDS UP PULLING LEFT.
WHILE USING THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS THEY JUST STOP WORKING AND SOMETIMES THE WIPERS WILL NOT COME ON AT ALL. THE DEALER IS AWARE OF THE SITUATION. THE PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN TAKEN CARE OFF. *AK
