I OWN A 1996 GMC JIMMY SUV MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS WOULD INTERMITTENTLY JUST STOP WORKING. THEY PROGRESSIVELY GOT WORSE, BUT WOULD JUST AS MYSTERIOUSLY START WORKING AGAIN. I HAD THEM CHECKED A COUPLE OF TIMES -- MOTOR WAS FINE, SWITCH WAS FINE. IN NOVEMBER 2000 DURING HEAVY RAIN MY WIPERS STOPPED WORKING UNEXPECTEDLY AT ABOUT 100KMH/65MPH ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY. I COULD NOT SEE ANYTHING, BUT MANAGED TO EXIT THE HIGHWAY WITHOUT A CRASH. NEEDLESS TO SAY THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD!*AK
