: the contact stated the vehicle did not start immediately upon turning the ignition. The warning lights illuminated briefly. Previously, the vehicle had been taken to 3 different private repair shops, who all determined the problem was with the starter. Each time, the starter was replaced, but the problem recurred. Also, a piece of the windshield wiper/washer switch detached from the switch itself, causing the washer to not function. The washer switch was not seen by a dealer, however, the manufacturer was contacted. There was a NHTSA recall # 99V305001, which pertains to the windshield wiper/washer switch. The vehicle was not included in the recall due to the VIN. Updated 12/5/2006 -
