2006 Chrysler Town & Country Visibility & Wipers Problems

I HIT A BUMP AND MY WIND SHIELD WIPER CUT ON AND WOULD NOT CUT OFF EVEN WHEN I TURNED THE VAN OFF THE WINDSHIELD WIPER KEPT RUNNING I HAD TO REMOVE THE FUSS. WHEN I PUT THE FUSS BACK IN THE WIPER ARE NOT WORKING AT ALL NOW. *TR

WOKE UP THIS MORNING AND BACK WINDSHIELD WAS BLOWN OUT. LARGE HOLE IN THE MIDDLE WAS SPIDER WEB AND ALL FOUR CORNERS WERE CRACKED OUT. FILED A POLICE REPORT AND SAID IS WAS NOT VANDALISM, BUT THE WINDOW BLEW OUT FROM PRESSURE OR FAULTY GLASS. LOOKING ONLINE IT APPEARS THIS IS VERY COMMON FOR THIS VEHICLE. SEEMS TO BE A PRETTY BIG SAFETY HAZARD. I WONDER WHY IT HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED. *JB

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY IN MY MINI VAN WHEN THE RIGHT SIDE REAR PANEL WINDOW EXPLODED. SOUNDED LIKE A GUN SHOT. THE WINDOW WAS GONE. I PULLED OVER OUT SHEAR FEAR AND A TRUCK WITH TWO MEN FOLLOWING BEHIND ME WITNESSED THE EXPLOSION AND PULLED OVER AS WELL TO MAKE SURE I WAS OK. THEY REMARKED THEY HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT. THIS WAS IN 2007 WITH APPROXIMATELY 20,000 MILES ON VEHICLE. I WENT TO DEALERSHIP AND HAD WINDOW REPLACED. WELL IT HAPPENED AGAIN YESTERDAY 5/20/2011. CLOSE TO 4 YEARS LATER WITH ABOUT 79,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE, I WAS IN FRONT PASSENGER SEAT, MY DAD BEHIND ME AND MY CHILD IN THE FAR BACK SEAT. THE SAME WINDOW EXPLODED, AGAIN SOUNDED LIKE A GUN SHOT. THE WINDOW EXPLODED AND MY CHILD SEATED IN THE FAR BACK BUT LUCKILY SEATED BY THE LEFT SIDE REAR PANEL COVERED HER HEAD AND FACE FROM THE EXPLOSION. THANK GOODNESS SHE WAS NOT NEXT TO THE WINDOW THAT EXPLODED. IN BOTH CASES WHEN THAT SAME WINDOW EXPLODED THERE WAS NO TYPE OF WEATHER CONDITIONS HAPPENING. JUST QUIET CALM DAY. THE DEALERSHIP IS DOING NOTHING ABOUT IT SINCE THEY HAVE NO OTHER RECORD OF THIS OCCURRING WITH OTHER MINI VANS. THE DEALERSHIP BASICALLY IS SAYING JUST TO REPLACE THE WINDOW ONCE AGAIN. I AM NOT COMFORTABLE WITH THIS RESOLUTION FOR I THINK THERE IS SOMETHING TERRIBLY WRONG AND IT IS NOT SAFE. I WORRY ABOUT OTHER FAMILIES AND THEIR TOWN AND COUNTRY MINI VANS ESPECIALLY SINCE THIS IS WHERE MOST CHILDREN SIT. I DO NOT TRUST THAT WINDOW NOW. *TR
