Whilst driving on the freeway my rear driver's side visibility window flew off of my car and nearly hit the vehicle driving in the fast lane to my immediate left at 65mph. They had to swerve to avoid a collision with it. I stopped on the side of the road and picked it up.

While driving I noticed rattling noises coming from the rear of the vehicle and excessive road noise in the passenger compartment coming from the back. After a rainy day I observed puddles of water behind the rear seats. Upon investigating I found that the fixed rear quarter windows were no longer properly attached to the body of the vehicle. I learned that a recall was performed on this vehicle back in 2007 (the federal safety agency campaign number: 07v149000) I called chrysler and they verified that the recall had been performed on this vehicle in may of 2007. It would appear that the fix is not effective, and frankly I am not surprised. Expecting plastic to maintain integrity long term under tension is foolish. It should be possible to use a more permanent, flexible adhesive (e.g. Rtv) to seal the window to the body of the vehicle and eliminate the possibility of the window mounting bolt failure causing the windows to detach from the vehicle.

Rear window wiper failed to operate. Owners manual does not identify fuse location. Power trace shows power to unit, suspect software problem when over 75 degrees f. Clutch pedal goes to the floor and very hard to shift, when below 60 degrees f shifts like glass on glass (very smooth) hyd cyl. Throw varies with temperature.

My rear wiper blade does not work. I purchased the vehicle in the summer months and didn't think about checking the rear wiper. Well now it is fall and raining all the time, and guess what it doesn't work..

My windshield wipers stopped working all of a sudden. Took it to the mechanic who said it was my totally integrated power module and would cost around 1000 to replace!!!!!
