I had an electrical short under the dash caused by moister in the fuse box , which was caused by water leaking around the windshield. I was not to concerned until I took it to the shop and found out that there is 13 pages of service bulletin about moisture get into the fuse box. It does thing as wiper not working while in drive or reverse but will work any other time. Radio not turning off, blower motor not shutting off. Trying to engage the starter while the vehicle is running.

Starter shorted out, causing vehicle into garage. The key was not in ignition. Damages were made to vehicle. Safety defect allowed vehicle to move w/o the key in the ignition.

Windshield wipers will operate intermittently on their own. Also, starter will make noise as if starting car when already running. Dealer contacted ,and cannot remedy the problems. Problems still exist.

Starter failed.

Water was getting down into the dashboard and causing windshield wipers to stop. The windshield wipers work normal when the vehicle is in neutral or park. The wipers would only work on low, the radio would cut off when driving in the rain which would happen after 10 minutes, the vehicle wouldn't turn over. The diagnosis was that harness assembly needed to be repaired at the starter assembly. There was a clicking sound coming from under the dash, and the theft light flashed. The mechanic found a bad gem module which also caused the blower to stay on and drain the battery. The heater bower wound not shut off intermittently when shutting the trunk off and had to be manually shut off.

Ignition/ starter have gone out several times.

Starter engaged while vehicle was parked and unoccupied resulting in wiring overheating and fire occuring. Nlm.
