NHTSA Complaint #10649168 — 2010 CHRYSLER SEBRING

WIPERS HAVE A MIND OF THEIR OWN. SOMETIMES THEY JUST QUIT WORKING DURING A RAIN STORM AND OTHER TIMES THEY CHANGE SPEED ON THEIR OWN AND OTHER TIMES THEY STOP RIGHT IN YOUR FIELD OF VISION DURING A RAIN STORM. YOU CAN SOMETIMES GET THEM WORKING AGAIN BY PULLING OFF THE ROAD IF YOU CAN DO SAFELY AND SHUT THE CAR OFF AND RESTART IT AND THINGS GO BACK TO NORMAL. I HAD A MECHANIC LOOK AT IT AND THERE IS NOTHING WRONG MECHANICALLY WRONG WITH THE WIPER MOTOR OR LINKAGE. THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE INTEGRATED BODY COMPUTER THAT CONTROLS THE WIPER SYSTEM. I TOLD MY CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP ABOUT IT AND THEY SAID THAT THERE WASN'T A RECALL ABOUT IT YET AND THAT YES IT IS THE COMPUTER THAT IS THE PROBLEM AND OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM THAT NEEDS FIXED BEFORE THERE ARE FATAL ACCIDENTS. *TR
