POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
THIS WILL BE THE THIRD TIME I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION AND I ALSO HAVE HAD TO REBUILD THE ENGINE. I ONLY HAD THE LAST TRANSMISSION REPLACED 14 MONTHS AGO. SOMETHING IS TERRIBLY WRONG TO HAVE TO REPLACE TRANSMISSION SO MANY TIMES.

VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER
WINDSHIELD WIPERS DO NOT COMPLETELY TURN OFF AND MOVE TO "STOWED" POSITION WHEN THE CONTROL KNOB IS TURNED OFF; THE BLADES STAY UP A LITTLE ON THE WINDSHIELD. WIPER MOTOR CONTINUES TO MAKE WIPERS MOVE SLIGHTLY. THIS IS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM. IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF MONTHS. I JUST USED TODAY'S DATE AS T HE DATE OF THE INCIDENT BECAUSE IT HAPPENED AGAIN THIS MORNING.
