DEALER FOUND DRIVER'S SIDE WINDSHIELD WIPER HAD BROKEN. REPLACED BOTH WINDSHIELD WIPERS. ON JANUARY 10, 2001 WHILE SNOWING, VERY SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN. HAD WINDSHIELD WIPERS REPLACED AGAIN. WHILE DRIVING TO DEALER'S LOT DRIVER'S WINDSHIELD WIPER ARM FLEW OFF. *AK THE COMPLETE 4 WHEEL DRIVE KIT WAS REPLACED BY THE DEALER BUT THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE DID NOT ENGAGE RESULTING IN BUMPING, GRINDING NOISE AND NO TRACTION.
