NHTSA Complaint #10690477 — 2008 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN

WHILE DRIVING THE VAN AT 65 MPH WHILE ON RT.23 ON MY WAY TO FINDLAY, OHIO, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS CYCLED A COUPLE TIMES, THE GAUGES WENT TO ZERO, THE RADIO TURNED OFF AND THE WARNING ALARM WENT OFF A COUPLE TIMES. THIS OCCURED TWICE WHILE I WAS DRIVING TO FINDLAY AND TWICE ON MY WAY BACK HOME. EACH TIME, THE VAN CONTINUED TO RUN. AT THE TIME BOTH HANDS WERE ON THE STEERING WHEEL. I KNOW THE DATE BECAUSE I WAS HEADED TO MY SON'S SOCCER GAME AT THE UNIVERSITY OF FINDLAY. IT WAS A VERY UN-NERVING EXPERIENCE. ON OTHER DATES THE WIPERS HAVE RUN BY THEMSELVES AND EVEN SPRAYED WINDSHIELD CLEANER FOR A BRIEF PERIOD. I HAVE NOTICED THAT OTHER PEOPLE HAVE REPORTED THE SAME BEHAVIOR ON THEIR VANS. I WANTED TO MAKE SURE MY EXPERIENCE WAS NOTED. IT APPEARS THE SITUATION CAN BECOME MUCH WORSE. *JS
