Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Nhts campaign 99v189000 concerns a failure of windshield wiper linkages on 1993 plymouth voyagers leading to total loss of wiper function. this happened to my daughter today during a storm, forcing her to return home very slowly. no accident, no one hurt. (note that i am a registered professional engineer.) upon her return, i inspected and found that: 1. the wiper motor was running and could be audibly heard while the wipers sat motionless. 2. the two wipers were linked together and could be moved easily by hand. 3. the running wiper motor would not move the wipers. at that point i removed the 3 bolts holding the wiper motor in place and looked inside the wiper arm cavity. i found wiper drive arm to be detached from the rotating arm on the drive motor shaft. i have digital photographs available if you would like to see them. the reason for my report is this: the van which this happened to is a 1994 grand voyager, same body style as the 1993. how does one suggest that the 1994 model should also be recalled? regards, jeff box jeffbox@ieee.org. *nm
