2000 Dodge Grand Caravan Visibility & Wipers Problems

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS HAVE FAILED INTERMITTENTLY FOR THREE MONTHS. VISIBILITY IS IMPAIRED DURING RAINY CONDITIONS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS HAVE FAILED SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED. HE STATED THAT THE PLASTIC LENS IS FROSTING AND TURNING YELLOW FROM OXIDIZING, CAUSING POOR ILLUMINATION AT NIGHT. THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS 81,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 79,780.

WHILE DRIVING IN INCLEMENT WEATHER THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS CAME ON AND OFF ON THEIR OWN INTERMITTENTLY. DEALER WAS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. *AK

WATER WAS LEAKING THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD ON PASSENGER'S SIDE. DEALER WON'T ADMIT IT WAS A DEFECTIVE WINDSHIELD. *AK

WINDSHIELD WIPERS DO NOT TURN OFF WHEN THE SWITCH IS TURNED OFF. THE WIPERS SWIPE AN ADDITIONAL 2 - 8 TIMES AFTER THEY ARE TURNED OFF, EVEN IF THE ENGINE IS OFF. THE DEALER TELLS ME THEY WILL NEVER FAIL TO COME ON, THEY ONLY FAIL TO GO OFF, AND THAT CHANGING THE SWITCH MAY NOT ELIMINATE THE PROBLEM. I AM CONCERNED THAT ONE DAY THE SWITCH WILL NOT RESPOND WHEN THE WIPERS ARE NEEDED AND VISIBILITY WILL BE COMPROMISED. IT HAS GOTTEN PROGRESSIVELY WORSE SINCE I HAVE HAD THE VAN.

2000 GRAND CARAVAN RECALL FOR CLOCKSPRING. CONSUMER STATES THAT HE MAILED TWO DIFFERENT LETTERS WITH A COPY OF THE INVOICE FOR REIMBURSEMENT BUT NEVER RECEIVED A REPLY. *NJ THE CONSUMER STATED WHEN THE AIR BAG LIGHT STAYED ON, THE HORN, THE CHIMES FOR THE LIGHTS AND THE IGNITION DID NOT WORK. THE FRONT PASSENGER WINDOW REGULATOR WAS REPLACED. *JB

WATER KEPT ENTERING PASSENGER CABIN WHENEVER IT RAINED DUE TO OPEN SEAM ON WINDSHIELD BENEATH THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS.*MR CONSUMER PAID $27063 FOR THE REPAIR. AFTER NOTIFYING DODGE, THEY REIMBURSED HER HALF OF THE EXPENSE EVEN THOUGH IT WAS OVER THE MILEAGE AND YEAR OF THE WARRANTY. *PH
