MUTLIPLE INCIDENTS OF FAILURE. SPORADIC BRAKE AND RELEASE ON ABS SYSTEM ACTIVATES DURING SLOW STOPS. CAR STUTTERS TO A STOP. OTHER DEFECTS WITH CAR INCLUDE SPORADIC TURN SIGNAL FAILURE, HEAD LIGHT FAILURE. AIR BAG DID NOT IMPLOY DURING AN T-BONE COLLISION. *AK
SOME OF THESE VEHICLES HAVE A STRAINED OR SEPARATED WASHER/WIPER SWITCH POWER FEED WIRE.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS CAN CAUSE THE WINDSHIELD WASHER/WIPER TO WORK INTERMITTENTLY AND COULD ULTIMATELY RESULT IN INOPERATIVE WIPERS. IF THIS WERE TO OCCUR IN A SEVERE WEATHER SITUATION, DRIVER VISIBILITY COULD BE REDUCED, INCREASING THE RISK OF A VEHICLE CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT AND REPLACE THE OLD DESIGNED WASHER/WIPER SWITCHES WITH A NEWLY DESIGNED SWITCH.
