| Description of the problem | Wiper motor assembly fell apart while driving on freeway during rain storm. Almost crashed before getting to side of road. Faulty linkage components from manufacture, dealer carries a complete replacement assembly in stock which they replace at a high cost to me. 1997 dodge ram 3500 larimie diesel 65k miles. I would like to recommend a safety recall before someone is killed due to failure of wiper system. The dealer did not want to give me the faulty part so i purchased the new part, had a independant garage repace it and have kept the faulty assembly for future litagation if necessary. *tt |
