MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS HAVE STOPPED WORKING. I FIRST NOTICED A PROBLEM LAST WINTER EARLY 1999 WHEN THE WIPERS BEGAN STOPPING IN AN UP POSITION INSTEAD OF AT THE BOTTOM OF THE WINDOW. THEY STILL WORKED UNTIL A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO WHEN THEY STOPPED. THE MOTOR STILL WORKS BUT THE WIPERS DON'T MOVE. I LOOKED AT THE ASSEMBLY AND SAW THE PIVOT ARM HAS DISCONNECTED FROM THE SHAFT OF THE MOTOR. I CALLED YOUR OFFICE AND FOUND THERE IS A RECALL. YOU GAVE ME CHRYSLER # AND I CALLED THEM, BUT THEY HAVE NOT RECALLED THIS PROBLEM YET. WHY WOULD THIS BE DELAYED? I NEED MY WIPER FIXED BUT DON'T HAVE THE BUCKS AT THIS TIME. HOW CAN WE GET CHRYSLER TO SPEED UP? RECALL #836.

I ALSO HAVE A REAR WINDSHIELD WIPER THAT WORKS ON AND OFF. WHEN I TOOK THE VAN TO THE DEALER, HE SAID I NEED A NEW MOTOR, BUT THEN IT BEGAN TO WORK AGAIN. THIS SUMMER IT WENT OUT AGAIN, I DON'T THINK IT IS THE MOTOR, SINCE IT WORKS SOME TIMES AND SOME TIMES IT DOESN'T. I HOPE YOU GET THIS REPORT CLEARLY. I WASN'T GOING TO INQUIRE ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION, BUT AS A COMSUMER I HATE TO PUT MONEY INTO A VAN, WHEN NO ONE CAN ID THE PROBLEM.
