Consumer Description

THE WIPER DELAYS DON'T WORK AND SHUT OFF ON THEIR OWN. THEY WILL TURN ON WHEN THE SWITCH IS TURNED OFF. THEY WILL SOMETIMES WORK ON THE DELAY AND OTHER TIMES GO FULL SPEED ONLY. I LIVE IN BELLEVUE WASHINGTON WHERE IT RAINS FREQUENTLY SO I RELY ON MY WIPERS TO WORK PROPERLY SO I DON'T GET INTO AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE TRIED TO REPLACE THE RELAY SWITCH (NO LUCK). I HAVE READ MAY POSTS IN FORUMS FOR DODGE RAM 1500 OWNERS AND THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF OWNERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE BUT NO FIXES HAVE BEEN FOUND. MANY OWNERS HAVE BROUGHT THEIR TRUCKS TO THE DEALERSHIP TO REPAIR WITH NO LUCK. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND IT NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED. IT IS OBVIOUSLY NOT A SIMPLE FIX AND DODGE SHOULD BE LOOKING INTO A SOLUTION FOR ALL THE OWNERS OF DODGE RAM 1500 TRUCKS. *TR
