VISIBILITY/WIPER
THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS RANDOMLY STOP WHILE IN INTERMITTENT MODE. I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO RESTART THE WIPERS BY SELECTING A NON-INTERMITTENT POSITION ON THE CONTROL WAND. THIS HAS HAPPENED MORE THAT 50 TIMES OVER THE LAST NINE YEARS AND EACH TIME IT WAS MENTIONED TO THE DEALER, THEY SAID THAT THEY HAVE TO SEE IT HAPPEN BEFORE THEY CAN FIND A FIX. THE ORIGINAL DEALER (TIMBERLINE DODGE, PORTLAND, OR - OUT OF BUSINESS DUE TO RECESSION) TRIED TO SEE IT HAPPEN AND THE LATEST SERVICING DEALER (RON TONKIN DODGE - GLADSTONE, OR) SAID THEY DID NOT KNOW OF A PROBLEM OR FIX. MOST RECENTLY, ABOUT A WEEK AGO, IT HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 5 WHILE DRIVING AT 65 MPH IN LIGHT RAIN. ONCE YOU SWITCH TO NON-INTERMITTENT MODE, YOU CAN RESELECT INTERMITTENT MODE AND THEY WORK UNTIL THE NEXT FAILURE. THE ONLY COMMON DENOMINATOR IS THE FAILURE OCCURS WHEN IT IS RAINING. *TR
