What owners wrote
Windshield wipers start and stop. Sometimes you can get them to restart by switching them off and waiting a few seconds. Other times you have to turn the engine off and then restart it before they will operate again. Apparently this has been a problem with previous years up to 1997. Why 1998 was not included is a good question since the problem still exists.
