In the 4 years I have owned this 2007 Dodge Ram I have had to replace the wiper motor 5 times. I was at my fathers funeral, it was snowing and I started the truck but the wipers would not turn on. The wiper motor was just replaced in late fall of last year, less than 6 months. I've only put 12,000 miles on the truck in 4 years. 102,000 miles on.
Tl contact owns a 2007 Dodge Ram 1500. While driving at various speeds, the contact experiences difficulty opening the rear window. The handle is located behind the driver's side head rest. In addition, the accelerator pedal is too close to the brake pedal, which occasionally causes the contact to accelerate when he is actually trying to brake. On one occasion, he crashed into his home due to the pedals being so close together. No one was injured during the crash and the vehicle has not been diagnosed by the dealer. The current mileage was 2,990 and failure mileage was 500. Updated 07/29/08 updated 07/29/08
Wipers won't power on consistently. In fact now can't seem to get them to come on at all. Tried replacing the multi function turn signal/wiper/washer switch without success. Best guess from research is a failed TIPM, which is a major expense and has been the subject of previous class action lawsuits. Fortunately it's winter and I discovered they don't work while sitting in the driveway. Yet some days they have worked. Of late they don't seem to come on at all even with the installation of a new multifunction (on the column) switch referenced above.

Passenger wiper blade not working while in motion on interstate I-5 freeway in portland oregon during rain fall causing wipers to lock together for a period of time until I could pull over and dislodge from each other after that only driver side works.
Three times now in the last month the ds arm and blade has fallen off of my vehicle while driving - once when I was parked, once travel at 25 MPH, and the third time traveling 60 MPH. At no time was there snow or ice on my vehicle. This to me is a safety concern. If I am driving at 60-70 miles per hour on the expressway in the rain and the arm and blade falls off, I will be without a wiper arm and blade. There will be no way of stopping to look for this part. This is a safety concern to me. The dealership where we purchased the vehicle said that this happens quite frequently and isn't a problem. They said this probably has something to do with the cold weather. I know for a fact that these products go through extensive testing prior to vehicle launch. We would like the ds arm and blade totally replaced. …
The turn signals works sporadically I flip the signal left it will blink right and vice versa or they wont work at all at times also the hazard lights will not work. Along with these symptoms the windshield wipers will not work at the same times as the prior mentioned symptoms. I called the dealer to check vehicle recalls the service agent said there was not any recalls but this is a common complaint on the 2007 Dodge Ram it is a very dangerous situation as it was raining during the last episode the visibility was extremely low and I was unable to properly let the other motorist my intention to merge out of traffic.
