THE BRAKES ARE FINE A FLAT SURFACES BUT ON A SURFACE WHICH CAUSES RAPID BUMPS IT WILL NOT STOP THE VEHICLE. AS YOU APPLY THE BRAKES WITH THE BUMP THE ABS SOUNDS LIKE IT IS ACTIVE BUT THE VEHICLE DOES NOT STOP OR SLOW FOR A FEW SECONDS. THEN THEY START TO STOP AND WORK FAIRLY WELL.

WIPER MOTOR WOULE STOP RANDOMLY AT ANY SPEED, TEMPERATURE, WEATHER CONDITION, BUT LESS LIKELY IN EXTREME COLD. WIPER WOULD STOP DURING A RAIN STORM , ON A NARROW FREEWAY, LATE AT NIGHT. REPLACE MOTOR TO NO AVAIL, AFTER CONSIDERABLE DISSASEMBLE AND RE-BUILDING ATTEMPTS; FOUND IT TO BE A GROUND PROBLEM, A SEPERATE GROUND FROM THE MOTOR HOUSING TO THE VEHICLE BODY. THE RUBBER MOUNTING TO REDUCE THE NOISE AND VIBRATION TO THE PASSENGER INTERFERED WITH THE GROUND. IT WAS RANDOM AND DEPENDED UPON THE MOTION OF THE MOTOR ROCKING ON THE RUBBER FEET TO OPEN OR CLOSE THE CIRCUIT.
