One problem related to windshield wiper/washer has been reported for the 1998 Mazda Protege. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Re:manifold. A crack begins from the engine side. Dealer stated the first it happened a stone must have come up & hit it. This is an imposibility. Now after replacing it it has occurred again. Crack is in the same place. Beginning from the engine side. Every time this occurs, exhaust fumes enter the passenger compartment. Windshield. Wipers do not clean the driver side & have never done so since I purchased the car. Wipers have been replaced & does not help. In a driving rain I have to slow down to 50 mph to wipe clean.
