“My windshield wipers and washers won't turn on anymore. And I've searched up this problem to try to fix it, but it seems that there are hundreds of people who had the same problem with this make and model of car. It can cause major accidents due to not being able to see during heavy rains because the I couldn't turn on the wipers to wipe the rain waters away. …”

“The window wipers won't stop even when I attempted to turn it off. It won't turn off. Then I replaced with a new wipers, it won't stop. Then raining, the window is hard to see during the rainy. When I turn the light signal on to turn right; the wipers turns on by itself. It's frustrating and safety concerns. It's getting worse.”

“My Dodge DART wipers remain turned on, with no ability to control the speeds or use windshield wiper fluid. After inspecting, the control ribbon cable rubs against plastic whenever blinkers are used. This is a very common issue and almost caused a crash when driving in bad weather. Dodge needs a recall because of this design. I can have the part replaced, however it could just reoccur again. The vehicle only has 44,000 miles”

“1st incident: drove my girlfriend to work. Came home and parked the car. Went back out and it kept saying gear not found. They had to put a wire on my transmission module, or said I could by a new one. 2nd for about the last year it won't find the gear. Says go to neutral then drive. Sometimes won't go to anything. 3rd. Wipers went on and wouldn't turn off. Sprayer doesn't work. Lady on the phone said the recall was fixed in 2016. But obviously it is still an issue.”
