Windshield wipers come on intermittently. Also wipers will fall off onto the sideview mirror. *akwipers have intermittently failed since the time of purchase. Pontiac fixed the wipers because of an original recall. The defective part of the wiper is now failing because of the recall performed. Pontiac explained to consumer that they would reimburse, but as of yet have not.
