“Windshield wipers quit working without warning. The fuse did not blow and the windshield wiper motor test good. The intermittent wipers were working without any interruption or lag up until the time they just stopped during a hard rain.”
NHTSA complaint #11298347, filed 2020-01, 120,000 miles“Wiper works intermittently, sometimes it functions, sometimes it doesn't turn off. This causes a dangerous condition in rain storms. After some research it appears to be a condition across the entire Ram platform and needs to be addressed because it is a serious safety issue. Wiper motor and switch have been replaced with new parts but the issue continues.”
