1997 Chrysler Town and Country visibility problems

Filed Apr 19, 2014 · Visibility · 125,000 miles · WA

Windshield wipers stop working, then start working, then stop again without warning. I never know when they will work or not. I have taken it to two different repair places and they can't diagnose the problem because wipers have not completely stopped working. It is very hazardous not knowing if the wipers will work or not, and no one seems to be able to fix them permanently.

Windshield wipers will not operate in cool damp weather (25-45 degrees f with high humidity). They cannot be controlled- sometimes operating for 10 minutes without being able to turn them off, sometimes they go into delay mode by themselves, and sometimes will not even turn on. This has been going on since we bought the vehicle in 2002. The same problem occured with our 1997 dodge intrepid es which we sold in 2002 due to it being an electrical nightmare, a lemon from the factory. Though purchased new, the dealer would not make any effort to having the car replaced though we suffered through 3 years of warranty "repairs" for the same problem. Anyway, I digress...

Rearview mirror keeps dislodging from windshield since the car was purchased in 1997. Last incident occurred during a lane change in traffic. Service manager indicated that this is a common problem especially with cars with heavy mirrors (electonics such as a mirrordimmer). Problem also appears to involve other brands. Recall to correct problem before a fatal accident occurs.

The flimsy plastic clips that hold the windows to the track of the power door windows are a hazard. They brake extremely easy and could leave a person trapped inside the car in a event of not being able to open the door. Our van is currently disabled to the plastic retainer clip braking. As an engineer myself I am appalled at the poor design. I'm sure the design was cheap to manufacture, but its totally incapable of surviving any stress. *ts ****dimsii ivoq entry posted after 12/12/02 cut over to artemis***761559
