I HAVE FOUND THAT YOU HAVE A RECALL FOR THIS (#98V150001), BUT IT ONLY APPLIES TO 1994 -1996 VEHICLES. MY 1992 HAS PROBLEMS WITH THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS ONLY WORKING INTERMITTENTLY. I BELIEVE THAT IT COULD BE THE SOLDER JOINTS AS WELL. THIS ISSUE MAY NOT BE LIMITED TO YEARS 1994-1996. PLEASE INVESTIGATE.*AK
THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS FAIL TO WORK PROPERLY. THEY WOULD GO ON/OFF. WOULD COME BACK ON BY THEMSELVES WITHOUT TURNING SWITCH OFF OR ON. PRESENTLY, WILL NOT SHUT OFF RIGHT AWAY AFTER SWITCH IS TURNED OFF. THIS CAUSES THE DRIVER TO HAVE VERY POOR VISIBILITY. IT IS AN AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM THAT IS GETTING WORSE.

17 of 17 complaints, reproduced as filed.
No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
