CONTINUAL ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTIONS, MOST RECENT WINDSHIELD WIPERS FAILED TO OPERATE DURING HEAVY RAIN STORM WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY. MY CAR IS THREE YEARS OLD.

(1) THE IGNITION CYLINDER HAS BEEN FAULTY SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS RECEIVED AT THE DEALERSHIP IN APRIL 2007. IT WAS GREASED TWICE. SINCE POSSESSING THE CAR (BOUGHT MAY 2007), I HAVE HAD INCREASING TROUBLE TURNING THE KEY IN THE IGNITION. THE DEALERSHIP JUST URGED ME TO GREASE IT, BUT FINALLY, JULY 2008, THEY REPLACED THE FAULTY IGNITION CYLINDER. (2) THE BATTERIES IN THIS GREENLINE VUE WERE LEAKING, TWICE, LEADING TO A RECALL, AND HAVING THEM REPLACED. *TR
