This vehicle has a stalk on the steering column that controls the windshield washer, wiper, as well as the vehicle bright lights, and the turning signals. Around May. 2014 the washer began working intermittently. Sometimes it would work, sometimes not. Wiggling the stalk would sometimes make it work. By pulling the stalk toward the driver, the bright lights are suppose to come on temporarily, until released. They stopped working, also about may, 2014. It is still working intermittently, but now the turning signals are also affected, working intermittently, or even putting on the left turn signal, when the switch is turned for a right turn, or right for left. I am afraid that this switch is defective, and can cause an accident if it does not work reliably.
I turned on my car and started driving and my windshield wipers came on all by themselves and wouldn't go off as I was driving. When I stopped the car and turned my car off, and turned my car back on, my wipers wouldn't come back on. It has been raining a lot and I have no windshield wipers. This is very dangerous and I have almost had a wreck with my children in the car because of this.
Wipers stopped working during storm in July 2014 and only work when put on fastest speed now when they do work and sometimes won't work at all. I must continually turn on and off to activate.
