What owners wrote

Tl* the contact owns a 2002 buick rendezvous. While driving approximately 25 to 30 MPH, the vehicle filled with smoke from the front interior vents. The contact immediately turned the ignition off and vacated the vehicle. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to a mechanic shop where it was diagnosed that the windshield wiper motor caught fire. The wire harness from the fuse box to the firewall was replaced; however, the vehicle was not repaired.

My 2002 buick rendezvous cxl has a recurring problem with the windshield wipers. When I am driving in the rain and turn on the wipers, they do come on, but unless I turn my vehicle off and remove the key, the wipers will not turn off; nor will they change speeds. I will be taking the vehicle into the dealer for repair this week. *nlm
