2004 Dodge RAM 3500 Visibility (wipers, defrost, mirrors) Problems

“This complaint is for wiper motor sudden failure on a remanufactured part supplied from oreily auto parts. I replace my wiper motor when the originals wiper park function became finicky.

“My Dodge has had a problem with the blend doors for quite some time in my truck. It will not go to defrost so when I drive my windshield fogs up and this relates to me having to pull over so that I do not get into an accident.

I veered off the highway and into a ditch before I could get my vehicle stopped. Upon investigation of the problem, I discovered that the blend door in the HVAC system had broken. The blend door directs the air to the appropriate vents as directed by the vehicle operator. …”

“The windshield wipers fail to operate properly on my 2004 Dodge RAM 3500 in the intermittent or delay settings. Sometimes while in intermittent settings, the wiper quit working altogether. I can get them to work again by playing with the wiper switch and placing it in the high speed mode. However, this causes me to be distracted while driving down the road in the rain, with no functioning wipers. This has been happening for 6 months, with 11 repair attempts by anchorage chrysler.
