Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: On several occasions my windshield wipers have ceased working after i have come to a stop and then started moving again. this only seems to happen after the wipers have been in use for at least 30 minutes. the consequences are extremely limited visibility and difficulty even pulling off the road. in one case i had to drive over a quarter mile before finding a safe place to pull over. it was dark and my was very poor. the wipers will start working if i turn the vehicle off and restart. i have reported the problem to the dealer on two occasions and they have not identified or corrected the problem. at this point i am reluctant to drive the vehicle if it is raining and cannot use it for any extended trip. i am no longer certain of the exact dates of the incidents. the date i have entered is approximate.*ak
