problem #2

Caliber

  • 72,340 miles
First heavy rainfall of the spring, travel in rush hour traffic toward seattle. I had not had to use my windshield wipers on anything but intermittent for several months. When needed for the heavier rains and traffic this morning, the wipers failed to work in the primary wiper function (continual operation-neither slow or fast). It was necessary to hold the wiper control arm in the down position to keep the wipers working thus not allowing me to keep two hands on the steering wheel. I contacted my dealer and was told there was no recall on this issue, the recall associated to the nitro parts (Chrysler J28/campaign 09V438000-3 Nov 2009) did not apply. I will be checking the part number of the PCM for both vehicles to determine if the same part is used in each production line.
