WINDSHIELD WIPERS DO NOT FUNCTION ALL OF THE TIME. MAY GO OFF WHILE WORKING AT ANYTIME. SOMETIMES THEY DO NOT COME ON AT ALL. WHEN YOU POUND ON THE WIPER MOTOR THEY MAY START BUT WILL QUIT AT ANYTIME. THIS VEHICLE HAS THE IDENTICAL MOTOR AND CIRCUIT BOARD AS OTHER VEHICLES WHICH WERE REPAIRED BY THE MANUFACTURER. *JB
