Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)I HAVE 33000+ MILES ON MY COBALT. LATELY THE WIPERS HAVE BEEN GOING INTO PULSE MODE WHILE THE SELECTOR IS IN REGULAR SPEED. THEY ALWAYS WORK IN HIGH AND IN PULSE. WHEN THE WIPERS START TO PAUSE I MOVE THE SELECTOR TO HIGH SO THAT I CAN SEE TO DRIVE. THE SELECTOR LEVER DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE MOVING AROUND. I HAVE NOT EXAMINED THIS AND I HAVE NOT CALLED MY LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALER. *NM

WINDSHIELD WASHER UNIT DOES NOT WORK WHEN OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE IS BELOW 38 DEGREES. IT APPEARS TO BE A VEHICLE FEATURE AS OPPOSED TO JUST A FROZEN WASHER UNIT AS I HAVE TESTED IT MULTIPLE TIMES. THIS CAUSES MAJOR PROBLEMS WHEN DRIVING IN SNOW OR SALTED ROADS AS VISIBILITY IS ALMOST ZERO. *AK
