So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
This is the second time this component has been replaced. Original component was replaced in June, 1999, at 18,000 miles. Vehicle is based in a dry climate and windshield wiper is rarely used. Failure occurs without warning. Failure of wiper motor compromises rearward visibility in inclement weather. Dealer advises premature failure of this component is common.

15" wheel too small for vehicle, suspension not as stable as a 2000 year model, rear wiper failed 2 times (also failed in 2000 model, ) turn signal cancels too quickly/easily replaced 2 times still lousy, (dot number: Not applic tiresize: 235/75/R15)
When I tried to push the control on the end of the windshield washer stalk to activate washer, the fluid didn;T come out even when the reservoir was full. The wipers started working but no washer fluid ejected like it is supposed to.
Windshield wipers will work sometimes, and sometimes it will not work, they have completely stopped working. Dealer has repaired or replaced the equipment four times, and dealer currently cannot duplicate the problem.
When pushing the button for the fluid to come out from windshield washer fluid reservoir and clean the windows, it would take about two to three minutes before the fluid comes out to clean the windows.
