2007 DODGE DAKOTA Visibilitywiper Problems

The windshield popped off in one corner, it was due to the lack of a weather seal the truck was not equipped with. The lack of seal created a Reservoir of water that cannot be seen and made rust along the edges. This rust ate away the glue and lead to leaks and finally I had to replace the entire windshield because it was no longer safe to drive with when it rained. The water leaked in and obstructed my view while driving.

ON TWO OCCASIONS THIS VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE WHEN INTERMITTENTLY THE TURN SIGNALS FAIL TO OPERATE SIMULTANEOUSLY WITH THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS ALSO STOP WORKING.

AT THE SAME TIME THE TURN SIGNALS BECOME INOPERABLE SO THE DRIVER IS LEFT WITHOUT VISIBILITY AND THE INABILITY TO NOTIFY FELLOW TRAVELERS THAT HE/SHE MUST IMMEDIATELY MOVE TO THE RIGHT HAND SHOULDER UNTIL THE RAIN STOPS. THIS PROBLEM HAPPENED TO ME IN MAY OF 2007. MILEAGE ON THE VEHICLE WAS 23,125. THE PROBLEM WAS IDENTIFIED BY THE DODGE TECHNICIAN AS A DEFECTIVE MULTIFUNCTION SWITCH - PART NUMBER 56049823AB. THE MULTIFUNCTION SWITCH WAS REMOVED AND REPLACED BY DODGE UNDER WARRANTY. THE PROBLEM RECURRED IN JANUARY OF 2015. MILEAGE ON THE VEHICLE AT THAT TIME WAS 35,242 (12,117 MILES DRIVEN) SINCE...
