Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Intermittantly the windshield wipers become inoperable. usually after they run a while and usually stop at the worst time right in the middle of a heavy downpour. when i open the hood i can hear a soft buzzing noise. when i wiggle the cable harness assembly that goes to the motor the wipers will start again. but then when i shut the hood the vibration sometimes causes the wipers to stop. this had been going on since last year, 2004. this is the exact same problem i have read about in similar complaints and the nhtsa campaign id 03v15900.*ak
