THE WIPERS QUIT WORKING AT HIGHWAY SPEED IN HEAVY RAIN AND HEAVY TRAFFIC. IT WAS VERY DANGEROUS, AND WE WERE FORTUNATE THAT NO ONE WAS INJURED. WHEN I WENT TO BUY THE REPLACEMENT, THE DEALER'S PARTS GUYS WERE VERY FAMILIAR WITH THE PROBLEM. THEY SAID THAT IF I HAD A PICKUP INSTEAD OF A MINIVAN, THE PART WOULD BE FREE, AS THEY WERE MADE SO BADLY THAT THEY WERE UNDER RECALL. HOWEVER, SINCE WE HAD A MINIVAN, THEY WOULD CHARGE US FOR THE SAME PROBLEM PART. THE FAILED PART NUMBER IS 22101636. THE NEW PART NUMBER IS 12463017. FAILING CKT BOARD NUMBER: 22122142 REV. C.
