NHTSA Complaint #755696 — 2002 CHRYSLER VOYAGER

WINDSHIELD WIPERS CAUGHT ONTO EACH OTHER , I WAS ABLE TO MAKE TEMP REPAIR BECAUSE OF HOLDING A SAFETY INSPECTION LICENSE AND PREVIOUSLY WORKING AS A AUTO TECH FOR MANY YEARS, HOWEVER IF THIS OCCURRED TO MY WIFE WHILE DRIVING ON THE TURNPIKE...LIKE WE WERE, SHE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO CONTINUE HER JOURNEY OR MAY HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED A SECOND TIME ON THE SAME DAY. I MADE CONTACT WITH DEALER A COUPLE DAYS LATER TO SEE IF ANY OTHER SIMILIAR COMPLAINTS AND WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE MANAGER THAT NONE EXISTED. I HAVE SINCE REPLACED THE WIPER BLADES WITH AN AFTERMARKET BRAND AND HAVE NOT HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO TEST THEM(NO RAIN). I BELIEVE THAT THE ARMS TIMING MAY HAVE BEEN INTERUPTED SOME HOW. THE FIRST TIME I WAS PULLING INTO THE TOLL BOOTH AND DECREASED MY SPEED AND OPENING THE LEFT WINDOW...THE SECOND EVENT WAS WHILE DECREASING SPEED AND TURNING ON MY LEFT TURN SIGNAL TO PULL INTO MY DRIVEWAY...???? RESPECTFULLY REQUEST TO KNOW IF ANY SIMILIAR INCIDENTS ARE REPORTED. *AK
