NHTSA Complaint #10966653 — 2008 DODGE RAM 1500

80 MILE DRIVE HOME IN RAIN AND WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOP WORKING! TRUCK HAS 40,000 MILES ON IT AND I'M THE ORIGINAL OWNER. INTERMITTENT WIPER STOPS, STARTS, RUNS AT DIFFERENT PACES. COMPLETELY SCARY TO BE ON THE HIGHWAY AT 60 MPH AND CAN'T SEE THE ROAD. VERY DANGEROUS! THE COMPANY SHOULD REPLACE THIS AT NO COST. APPARENTLY THEY HAVE ISSUES WITH THIS BECAUSE IT'S BEEN RECALLED, BUT MY VIN WASN'T A PART OF THE RECALL. HOW CAN THAT BE? A KNOWN ISSUE, BUT WON'T TAKE CARE OF A LOYAL CUSTOMER WITH A SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED OR THE SAFETY OF USING THE VEHICLE IS LIMITED BY WEATHER CONDITIONS. WHAT IF I HAD AN ACCIDENT AND I HAD BEEN KILLED ON THE HIGHWAY BECAUSE MY WIPERS DIDN'T WORK AND THE COMPANY NEW IT WAS AN ISSUE AND WOULDN'T FIX IT? VERY DISAPPOINTED BY THIS PROBLEM AND THE COMPANY'S LACK OF RESPONSIBILITY TO FIX IT. I WAS ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY WITH A POSTED SPEED LIMIT OF 60 MPH, FOLLOWING THE LAW, RAIN STARTED COMING DOWN, WIPERS WOULD NOT WORK SO I COULD SEE THE ROAD. EXTREMELY UPSETTING AND SCARY TO BE IN THAT SITUATION. WOULD HATE FOR MY WIFE OR DAUGHTER TO BE DRIVING AND HAVE THIS HAPPEN TO THEM. SEMI TRUCKS WERE SPLASHING WATER ONTO MY WINDSHIELD AND I COULDN'T CLEAR THE WATER TO SEE WHERE I WAS GOING! EXTREMELY DANGEROUS!!!!
