Tl* the contact owns a 2013 dodge dart. While driving unknown speeds, the windshield wipers failed to shut off. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was taken to hoover dodge (195 marymeade dr, summerville, sc 29483, (843) 873-1114) where it was diagnosed that the wiper mechanism needed to be repaired. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was contacted. The failure mileage was 36,000.
Vehicle needs to be approved for recall concerning (multifunction switch) which is the windshield wiper controller as its communicating cables are too fragile to work under regular turning signal usage as cable within component gets pulled by it's own regular motion at usage. This causes the cables within the switch to get cut and broken making it to break completely. Because the part is not being produced by mopar the part is not found as dodge dealers make you wait in line next to 400 other dodge driver owners in order to get the part (when they start producing the part) which there has been no confirmation of being produced by mopar.
My 2013 dodge dart sxt windshield wipers will not turn off! This is because of the switch not working or it's an electrical issue. Turn signals still work but this is a hazard that can get driver hurt. It adds an distraction.

I was driving and had my wipers on of course because it was raining and it stopped raining so I went to turn them off but it never turned off. So I took it to the dealer and was told the ribbon inside was broken and that it was going to be over 500$ to fix it. So I looked up the fuse to take it out so it would turn off but turns out there isn't any fuse for it. I'm looking through the internet to see if anyone else had this problem and there are actually a lot of people this has happened to. I believe dodge should fix this at no cost. It's happening to a good chunk of people
It was rain and turned the windshield wipers on. When I got home I went to turn the wipers off they would not stop I took to the dealership and the want $800.00 to replace the part can be found online for way cheaper. This is an insane cost for a car with multiple issues. There should be a recall done on this problem. Dodge had made a lemon of car. This is not the only problem I have with it.
As soon as you put the key in and turn the vehicle on to acc the windshield wipers are always on. Sitting still or moving.
I am told that the wiper switch is bad and it costs $852.00 to replace if you can find one and then dodge wants $400.00 labor to install this part
My car is currently drivable however I recently found out that I need the oil pressure monitor replaced along with the wiring in the steering system due to oil damage from the oil pressure monitor being broken. The radio and rear view camera also need to be replaced. These are too many issues for a fairly new vehicle. Apparently there have been numerous changes complaints about this vehicle but I'm continuously being told that there are no recalls despite ongoing issues with the vehicle that have to deal with manufacturing issues. The radio started malfunctioning over a year ago. The windshield wipers/oil pressure switch issues have only been happening approximately 2 months. The rear view mirror stopped working today. The car has also has issues stall no, not starting, and cutting off while the car is stopped for about a year now.
As I was driving down the highway the windshield wipers suddenly came on and now will not shut off, change speed, or release wiper fluid. Any time the key is on, the wipers are running. The wipers are now a distraction, as they are constantly in motion. I can also not turn them on a higher setting when it is raining heavily.

My windshield wipers run constantly when the vehicle is on. The wipers do not engage while on remote start. I went into the unconnected and turned off rain sensing module. The wipers continued to run at a slow speed. I used the windshield wiper lever to turn off the wipers. However, my wipers continued to run no matter what interval I used. My car will not dispense washer fluid with the use of the lever. I did check to ensure washer fluid tank is filled with washer fluid recommended for my vehicle.

The "stick" device that controls the wipers & window solution, just went out on my car. The whole part needs to be replaced. It's going to cost between 600-700 to fix. My car only 3 years old & has 35,000 miles on it, but is out of warranty. When I spoke with the mechanic about the repair he stated that chrysler/dodge has modified this part at least a dozen times because of failures. However, no recall has been issued. I think dodge should cover the repair costs.
Check engine light was on. Dealership technician was able to perform diagnostic procedure that called for a software update for camshaft pos. Sensor and evap leak.
Placing sun guard up on the dash. When flipping down the sun visors to hold the sun guard in place, the passenger side visor broke and dropped right out of the roof and dangling by wiring harness. Due to the random broken component, the visor cannot be safely up and is visible distraction to the driver when checking the passenger side blind spot.

2013 dodge dart. Consumer writes in regards to transmission malfunction, broken tire sensor and other vehicle problems. *smd the consumer stated the transmission has been on going since, the first day the vehicle was purchased. Apparently, it was a factory default, that could not be fixed. The transmission down shifted into second gear, the clutch would stick, the gears were grinding when in reverse and a metallic noise was heard when down shifting in any gear the dealer replaced the second gear and synchronizers. The sun visor no longer stayed in its position.
I was driving my 2013 dodge dart on interstate when I heard a loud sound and thought my vehicle had been shot by a gun. I pulled over to the shoulder and realized the sound I had heard was my sunroof exploding. I called chrysler and they will not accept responsibility for the defective glass.
I want to report that the wipers can not clean the windshield properly. If you try to drive through a torrential rain the windshield is wet, even in the highest speed. And also the windshield (glass) absorbs the dirty , oil, etc, so it is very complicated to clean with the windshield cleaner or other products that are specific for this purpose.

The approximate failure mileage was 10 and the current mileage was 6,000.
