2007 Dodge RAM 1500 visibility problems

Filed Feb 22, 2022 · Visibility · MI

In the 4 years I have owned this 2007 Dodge Ram I have had to replace the wiper motor 5 times. I was at my fathers funeral, it was snowing and I started the truck but the wipers would not turn on. The wiper motor was just replaced in late fall of last year, less than 6 months. I've only put 12,000 miles on the truck in 4 years. 102,000 miles on.

Wipers won't power on consistently. In fact now can't seem to get them to come on at all. Tried replacing the multi function turn signal/wiper/washer switch without success. Best guess from research is a failed tipm, which is a major expense and has been the subject of previous class action lawsuits. Fortunately it's winter and I discovered they don't work while sitting in the driveway. Yet some days they have worked. Of late they don't seem to come on at all even with the installation of a new multifunction (on the column) switch referenced above.

I live in wisconsin where we experience extreme temperature changes, and with winter temperatures often below zero, the occupants need to be warm to be safe. The safety of driver and families depends on the proper working order of heater in these conditions. The heater blender door is apparently stuck to the open position allowing fridge cold outside air to be blown into the cab in the foot area. After driving an hour to our destination the driver and the occupant in the front seat no longer can feel their feet because of being so cold. "how can proper acceleration and braking be applied when the operators feet are frozen?". This is a safety concern and a health hazard to occupants, with the potential to cause frost bite, because the cold air can't be diverted or shut off. After searching on-line this is a common problem in numerous models and years of dodge vehicles. The average cost of the fix is 1000.00 to 1500.00 because the dash needs to be pulled out. I couldn't imagine how much this issue has generated in auto repairs, do to faulty equipment to the consumer. This is a recall issue and should be addressed as such. I even spoke to a person while waiting at the local dealership that complained about the same issue and was getting it fixed. This costly/ common repair, if not fixed can effect the safe operation of the operators gas and brake pedal in extremely cold weather. Judging by the comments on-line this should be a recall issue. Thanks
