Reported on Aug 23, 1999
SINCE THE DAY THE CAR WAS BOUGHT, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WILL TURN OFF UNEXPECTEDLY...AS IF THERE IS A SHORT. THEY WILL RESTART ONLY IF THEY ARE MANUALLY ASSISTED. NON-RELATED, THE CAR WILL STOP DEAD AND WILL NOT RESTART FOR A MINIMUM OF 30 MIN. THIS HAPPENS EVERY SUMMER WHEN THE TEMPERATURE IS ABOVE 95 F AND THE CAR HAS DRIVEN 100 CONSECUTIVE MILES. THIS IS USUALLY A HIGHWAY DRIVING SITUATION AND HAS OFTEN LEFT MY WIFE AND CHILDREN STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. | |
