Wipers have started to only function when they want to. Even when on they will sometimes turn off or pause or go faster. Intermittent does not work properly, seems to have a mind of there own.

The contact owns a 2007 Dodge Ram 1500. The contact stated that the windshield wipers failed intermittently. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who diagnosed that the wiper module assembly and wiper vented motor housings were defective and needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure who did not offer any assistance since the vehicle was not included in NHTSA campaign id number: 09E009000 (visibility:windshield wiper/washer). The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 38,000 and the current mileage was 38,500.

When the blinker is turned on, the opposite side blinks, or none at all. The wiper doesn't wipe at all times. These are unsafe driving conditions.

The windshield wiper motor is failing on my 2007 Dodge Ram. There is a recall on the 2008 and 2009 models. It no longer operates on anything but intermediate, even when the knob is on high. This failure has caused a dangerous situation.
