2008 Dodge RAM 1500 visibility problems

Filed Dec 3, 2021 · Visibility · TX

HVAC mode door inoperative causing defroster to not operate and only allowing air out of dash vents causing safety issue when windshield is fogged up due to dew or humidity from rain causing loss of visibility. Mode door broken which involves pulling dashboard and evacuating A/C system at a very significant cost. Have read and heard of many complaint due to broken doors in HVAC system on these vehicles. During early morning hours with dew and during operating vehicle in inclement weather this causes a very serious safety issue. FCA should cover this as it is an unsafe and poor design causing risk to operator and other drivers on the roadways.

The entire front end of my truck has been going out. Tie rods, sway bar end links, cv axles, upper and lower ball joints. My back glass isn't sealed properly and pours water in the cab when it rains drenching my passengers or whatever I am carrying in the backseat, the water pools up under the seats and I routinely have to mask the smell from it

The wipers motor speed fluctuates when moving the steering column up or down. Sometimes the wipers won't go to 'high speed' until the steering column is moved around. It happens regardless if it is moving down the road or not.

Windshield wipers would work at times and not at other times. Now the windshield wipers are not working at all. Dodge has attempted repair that cost me 500.00 and the wipers still don't work.

80 mile drive home in rain and windshield wipers stop working! Truck has 40,000 miles on it and I'm the original owner. Intermittent wiper stops, starts, runs at different paces. Completely scary to be on the highway at 60 MPH and can't see the road. Very dangerous! The company should replace this at no cost. Apparently they have issues with this because it's been recalled, but my VIN wasn't a part of the recall. How can that be? A known issue, but won't take care of a loyal customer with a safety issue that needs to be repaired or the safety of using the vehicle is limited by weather conditions. What if I had an accident and I had been killed on the highway because my wipers didn't work and the company new it was an issue and wouldn't fix it? Very disappointed by this problem and the company's lack of responsibility to fix it. I was on an interstate highway with a posted speed limit of 60 MPH, following the law, rain started coming down, wipers would not work so I could see the road. Extremely upsetting and scary to be in that situation. Would hate for my wife or daughter to be driving and have this happen to them. Semi trucks were splashing water onto my windshield and I couldn't clear the water to see where I was going! Extremely dangerous!!!!
