Windshield wipers and radio will not operate after turning on the engine. Intermittent problem. Sometimes they work when the vehicle is started. Problem does not resolve itself while driving. Have been unable to get wipers to work at all for an entire day. Problem developed in the spring time in the lake Tahoe and sacramento regions of California and Nevada. Have not experienced the problem over the dry summer in the mountains. Subaru has not been able to fix the problem and doesn't know if they can fix the problem since it is difficult to create.
