| Description of the problem | I have a problem with the windshield wipers on my 2006 dodge ram 1500 quad cab. They will not run for more than one to two minutes on continuous wipe. After that time they will only wipe at an intermittent speed which varies from once every two seconds to once every twenty to thirty seconds, whatever they feel like wiping at. This is a very dangerous situation which i found out just the other day while traveling home from work in a steady rain. During the trip home it became very difficult to see and very unsafe. It is a very insecure feeling not knowing when your wipers will clear your windshield again in a steady rain. |
