Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)I TURNED ON MY CAR AND STARTED DRIVING AND MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS CAME ON ALL BY THEMSELVES AND WOULDN'T GO OFF AS I WAS DRIVING. WHEN I STOPPED THE CAR AND TURNED MY CAR OFF, AND TURNED MY CAR BACK ON, MY WIPERS WOULDN'T COME BACK ON. IT HAS BEEN RAINING A LOT AND I HAVE NO WINDSHIELD WIPERS. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND I HAVE ALMOST HAD A WRECK WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR BECAUSE OF THIS. *TR
WIPERS STOPPED WORKING DURING STORM IN JULY 2014 AND ONLY WORK WHEN PUT ON FASTEST SPEED NOW WHEN THEY DO WORK AND SOMETIMES WON'T WORK AT ALL. I MUST CONTINUALLY TURN ON AND OFF TO ACTIVATE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOWS MALFUNCTIONED. THE SWITCH THAT CONTROLLED EACH WINDOW WAS INOPERABLE AND ONLY THE MASTER SWITCH ON THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE WINDOW WAS ABLE TO ACTIVATE THE OTHER WINDOWS. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL MECHANIC FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST. THE MECHANIC CHECKED TO SEE IF THE SWITCH ON THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR HAD ANY POWER AND IT DID NOT. THE POWER WINDOW SWITCH CAUSED OTHER COMPONENTS IN THE VEHICLE TO MALFUNCTION AS WELL. THE CONTACT REPLACED THE SWITCH BUT THAT DID NOT REMEDY THE PROBLEM. THE MECHANIC THEN REPLACED THE ESM MODULE BUT TO NO AVAIL. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE POWER LOCKS HAD MALFUNCTIONED, MAKING IT VERY DIFFICULT TO ENTER AND EXIT THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT DID NOT TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION OR REPAIRS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000. KMJ
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
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE REAR WINDOW (VENT WINDOW) ON THE LEFT SIDE BLEW OFF OF THE VEHICLE AND ALMOST CAUSED A CRASH TO OCCUR. PRIOR TO THE FAILURE, A PASSENGER NOTICED THAT THE WINDOW LOOKED AS IF IT WERE OPEN ALTHOUGH IT WAS CLOSED. HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER WHO STATED THAT THEY COULD NOT ASSIST HIM WITH A FREE REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER HAS NOT BEEN NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 43,464.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. WHILE DRIVING IN SEVERE RAINY CONDITIONS, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WOULD OPERATE INTERMITTENTLY UNTIL FINALLY THEY FAILED COMPLETELY.

SHE WAS ADVISED THAT HER VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER WAS EXCLUDED FROM RECALL CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 06V067000 (VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER:MOTOR). NO REPAIRS WERE MADE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WINDSHIELD WIPER BLADES INTERFERED WITH ONE ANOTHER WHILE USED AND WERE ALSO BENDING.

MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING OUR 2006 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE DRIVER'S-SIDE, REAR WINDOW BLEW INTO THE CAR. IT CONCERNS US BECAUSE, AS A PARENT, ONE OF MY CHILDREN COULD HAVE BEEN SITTING IN THE THIRD ROW AND WOULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED. THANKFULLY IT DID NOT CAUSE AN ACCIDENT TO WHICH THE ACTUAL CAUSE (OF A "BROKEN WINDOW") WOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN REALIZED. I AM NOT SURE WHETHER THIS IS A SAFETY DEFECT OR AN ANOMALY, BUT I WOULD LIKE MY COMPLAINT TO BE RECORDED BASED UPON THESE CONCERNS. THE WINDOW WAS REPLACED, AND IS NOT AVAILABLE AS THE WINDOW SHATTERED. *TR
AT 3851 MILES ON MY 2006 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN, THE MOTOR ON THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING, IN THE MIDDLE OF A TORRENTIAL DOWNPOUR, WHICH WAS IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWED BY A BURNING ELECTRICAL SMELL. I WAS ABLE TO, VERY SLOWLY AND CAREFULLY, DRIVE THE CAR BACK HOME. *JB
