VISIBILITY/WIPER, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WIPERS ON MY TRUCK HAVE A MIND OF THEIR OWN THEY WORK COMPLETELY RANDOM, SOMETIMES NOT AT ALL, SOMETIMES STOP WHILE DRIVING, INTERMITTENT SOMETIMES GOES FULL BLAST. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE FOR YEARS WITH COUNTLESS WRITE UPS AND COMPLAINTS ONLINE BUT NO SUPPORT FROM CHRYSLER. IT IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN AS YOU CAN LOSE VISIBILITY WHEN THEY STOP FOR NO REASON OR DONT TURN ON IN HEAVY RAIN.
