NHTSA Complaint #10289450 — 2007 DODGE DAKOTA

MY 2007 DODGE DAKOTA QUAD CAB 4X4 WINDSHIELD WIPER CONTROL MODULE FAILED DURING A RAIN SHOWER YESTERDAY. THIS ITEM HAS BEE A RECALL ON PAST DAKOTAS, BUT AFTER CONTACTING THE COMPANY I WAS INFORMED THAT THIS PICKUP WAS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST, ALTHOUGH THE PROBLEM IS EXACTLY AS DESCRIBED IN THE PREVIOUS RECALL BULLETIN: PICKUP TRUCKS AND SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES, THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MODULE MOTOR MAY BE SUSCEPTIBLE TO WATER INTRUSION THAT COULD CAUSE INTERNAL CORROSION AND RESULT IN PARTIAL OR COMPLETE LOSS OF FRONT WINDSHIELD WIPING CAPABILITY. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM, BUT I WAS CLOSE TO MY HOME AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THERE. *TR
