NHTSA Complaint #10723231 — 2006 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN

THIS VEHICLE HAS A STALK ON THE STEERING COLUMN THAT CONTROLS THE WINDSHIELD WASHER, WIPER, AS WELL AS THE VEHICLE BRIGHT LIGHTS, AND THE TURNING SIGNALS. AROUND MAY. 2014 THE WASHER BEGAN WORKING INTERMITTENTLY. SOMETIMES IT WOULD WORK, SOMETIMES NOT. WIGGLING THE STALK WOULD SOMETIMES MAKE IT WORK. BY PULLING THE STALK TOWARD THE DRIVER, THE BRIGHT LIGHTS ARE SUPPOSE TO COME ON TEMPORARILY, UNTIL RELEASED. THEY STOPPED WORKING, ALSO ABOUT MAY, 2014. IT IS STILL WORKING INTERMITTENTLY, BUT NOW THE TURNING SIGNALS ARE ALSO AFFECTED, WORKING INTERMITTENTLY, OR EVEN PUTTING ON THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL, WHEN THE SWITCH IS TURNED FOR A RIGHT TURN, OR RIGHT FOR LEFT. I AM AFRAID THAT THIS SWITCH IS DEFECTIVE, AND CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT IF IT DOES NOT WORK RELIABLY.
