Consumer states since vehicle was purchase the windshield wipers are inoperative, had vehicle serviced 3 times, problem still accurs. Nlm

September 2002

The window motors have burned out on both of my automatic windows at a low mileage. The passenger side motor had to be replaced at 35,000 miles and now the driver's side must be replaced at 60,000. I rarely use the automatic windows, so I don't know why they have both failed.

Reported at 58,000 miles, February 2008
