Windshield wiper assembly - nominally repaired in 2001 recall - failed completely & without warning. Small plastic connector came apart. Wipers were operating, but load was only water - no ice or snow. As close to a serious accident as I would care to come based on a mechanical failure. Talked to Mazda, but they would not address failure history of item. They have replaced assembly (again), but no indication this one will work any better!.
