Windshield wipers become inoperable in rainy weather conditions, cause unknown. Consumer states wipers will be on and then stop, sometimes they will restart again, on one occasion, during a heavy rainfall, the wipers were on and then stopped with no warning, causing a dangerous situation due to very limited visibility, the dealer replaced the pulse wiper board.
Windshield wipers: When driving wipers will cut off, have to turn switch off and turn back on to get them to start. This is an intermittent problem. Causes very poor visibility, especially in hard rain. Took to dealer with no results. Module and pulse wiper control was replaced.
