Wipers do what they want to, no- off dont seat stop in middle of windshield

The windshield appears weak having many pock marks in it. This causes the windshield wipers to need to be replaced often. The dash is severely cracked and we are afraid that this is going to cause the air bag to rupture on the passenger side (besides the fact that it is coming apart).

Went to turn on my left directional and had a loss of directionals, windshield wipers, windshield washer and four way flasher. Checked problem thoroughly and found it to be a faulty multifunction switch installed behind steering wheel.

For 2 years my truck has had issues with the lights on the dashboard turning on and off for no reason. Now the lamp out, ABS and brake light are on all the time. Leaving my left turn signal unable to work. When the dashboard dies, nothing will work. This includes the lights, windshield wipers, speedometer, and all other gauges on the dashboard. I have brought it in on a few occasions to be fixed and was told they could not fix the problem because they do not know what's causing it. If driving the truck at night or on a rainy day, this could be very dangerous for obvious reasons. I have read other complaints on this website for the same thing. Something needs to be done before someone gets killed!

On july 30, 2006 my cabin controls (A/C, defrost, vent and window wipers) would not work. I took the vehicle to my local mechanic who identified the problem in the wiring harness in the steering column. My local mechanic made an attempt to fix the problem but when he contacted dodge for a replacement part they refused to sell it to them due to a recall on the model year before mine (2002). I had to take my vehicle to dave croft motors in collinsville, il for repair costing me approx 2x's more than my local shop. Dave croft said the wiring harness and ignition switch was bad due to the faulty part. When I question dodge about this harness and the recall they would not provide me any information. Dave croft fixed the problem as of this date however, I am still waiting to hear from dodge if they will cover this repair. (recalled part in 2002 dodge is the same part in my 2003).
