What owners wrote

On april 12, 2013 I got into my 2000 kia sportage to go to work. As soon as I got into the car I hit the windshield wipers to get the dew off of the windshield and instead of just going once they went off extremely fast with out stopping for about 45 seconds. Once I got them turned off I went up the road and turned to head to work via the back roads.
