My 2007 Dodge Dakota quad cab 4X4 windshield wiper control module failed during a rain shower yesterday. This item has bee a recall on past Dakotas, but after contacting the company I was informed that this pickup was not on the recall list, although the problem is exactly as described in the previous recall bulletin: Pickup trucks and sport utility vehicles, the windshield wiper module motor may be susceptible to water intrusion that could cause internal corrosion and result in partial or complete loss of front windshield wiping capability. This is a very dangerous problem, but I was close to my home and was able to drive there.

I own a 2007 Dodge Dakota 4WD/4dr the windshield wipers when turned on do not come on even when I turn them on high. I have to flip the control lever for the wipers numerous times to finally get them on. Once they do come on they won't shut off even if the switch is off. This is extremely dangerous since I live in Kansas.
