Wiper blade electronics will stop intermittently causing loss of visibility especially in severe weather conditions. this has happened numerous times despite use of appropriate de-icer winter formula wiper fluid, replacement of the wiper motor, and multi-function switch assembly. the problem appears to be overload of the circuit when there is mild to moderate amount of ice on the windshield or when the steering wheel is readjusted downward causing the wiring harness to come loose. this has almost caused major accidents at least 2 and maybe even 3 times due to this issue. the problem occurred when driving straight at slow speed of about 20 mph due to severe weather and i was forced to stop when the wipers would stop working.

Takata recall - when they replaced my driver's side airbag they broke the electrical substrate (in the airbag cover) that functions the horn. apparently this is happening on most of these as the part is on back order. i haven't had a horn since may 2016 and have almost been in a wreck as a result.

Faulty total integrated power module creates a situation where the vehicle can change from 2wd to 4wd at anytime. a situation like this can create a hazard while driving at any significant speed. for example, trying to take a turn while the driver expects to be in 2wd but the vehicle is in 4wd will cause the vehicle to take wider turns than normal. this may lead to the vehicle entering into the path of entering oncoming traffic causing a head on collision.

Driving in the rain at 40 mph and windsheald wipers stopped working "no wipers on any setting". changed "parts from dodge dealer" the multi-switch $97 dollars no fix, changed the wiper motor assembaly $214 dollars no fix. dodge dealer said it had to be the timp and it is $875 dollars just for the part. the dealer told me to just bypass the timp due to they go out all the time. my first issue is over a $1000 dollars to fix just wipers with the chance for some other electrical item to go out at anytime and have to replace the timp again for another $875 dollars. second issue who designs a electrical control system that is not separating each electrical item!? it would be like one breaker going bad in your house but you can not change just the one break you have to change out the entire electrical panel. *tr
