Windshield wipers are very erratic. Fail to operate at times, stop in midstroke, almost impossible to get to operate in intermitent mode. Dealer replaced switch # 4760437 and relay # 1671168 on 6/29/99. The problem has returned. Manufacturer claims no problems. Dealer claims no problems. Yet, I've had it two times.
