VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER:SWITCH/WIRING
WIPER MOTOR - CIRCUIT BOARD DEFECTIVE. EARILER RECALL, BUT ENDED IN 1996 FOR THE SAME THING. 98 NOT WITHIN DATES, SO OWNERS FOOT THE BILL ($130.00). VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION CAUSED BY THIS PROBLEM, AS THE WINDSHIELD WIPER WILL STOP WHILE DRIVING. MAY TAKE MINUTES TO HOURS FOR THEM TO COME BACK ON. LOST VISIBILITY DURING STORM WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE. A GODSEND WHERE THE REFLECTORS ON THE LANES, SO YOU COULD GET SAFELY OFF THE ROAD.*AK
