Wipers running with key and wiper switch off. Went to go to work and walked outside to find wipers running in low. Disconnect battery to stop. Waited 5 days, as soon as i connected, they started up. Pulled fuse and they stopped, haven't used truck since.

Due to a poor sill design, debris such as small rocks and sand will collect at the bottom of the driver and passenger side windows. When the windows are rolled down, the debris will scratch and etch permanent vertical lines in the glass as they move downward. Over time the glass appears dirty, hazy, and provides reduced visibility especially in high sun situations or at night when under direct light from another…

In freezing weather the windshield will not defrost. My dealer tells me…

The spray nozzles on all dodges are breaking way before they should. The hard plastic nozzle breaks where it is attached to the fluid tube. This makes it so the nozzle does not spray the windshield to clean it with the wipers. My truck is only 5 years old and both nozzles have been replaced. There are many other dodge owners with this problem, many videos to see on youtube.
