When the windsheild wipers are in operation, especially on high speed they slow and sometimes actually stop, making it impossible to see in a heavy rain.  view

Why were we not notified of problem?recall? no defect listed in summary.  view

Fuel injectors on cylinders 1 and 2 developed fuel external fuel leaks. this was not the seals as they were replaced and had no effect on the leak. injector replacement @ $100 each solved the problem. potential fire hazard.  view
