Description of the problem	I got the recall notices for the windshield wiper motor back in 2011 and had it replaced even though i had no issue with that motor. The new motor module assemblies had complete loss of the windshield wiper capability (a year after i had the motor replaced). I was driving that day in austin,tx with my one year old baby girl. It was pouring down heavy rain when the wipers complete just stopped out of the blue. I had to immediately pull over and wait for the rain to stop because i had no advisable what so ever. ( which could result in a crash! ) i immediately took the 08 dodge ram to a chrysler dealership and told them to replace it for me. They told me that i already had it done. I told them "to replace it again because a year old motor shouldn't of just stopped working." they said, "they could make a appointment at a later date to bring it in so they can look at it for a day or two (( and that i will have to pay for the diagnostic test."))) i said, "there is heavy rain in the weather forecast all week. I have a baby that i have to drop off at daycare every day because i am a full time student, and your going to let me drive this truck know my wipers don't work so y'all can one day take a look at it for two days and i'll have to pay for it ! No!" they said, "we can't replace your windshield wiper motor because you already had it done."
