2002 Dodge Durango Wipers & Visibility Problems

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BLOWER MOTOR RESISTOR WAS DEFECTIVE. THE CONTACT REPLACED THE PART THREE TIMES AND IT ALSO AFFECTED THE WIRING HARNESS. THE WIRING HARNESS WAS BEING REPLACED BY THE OWNER. THE FAILURE CAUSED THE AIR CONDITIONER FAN TO MALFUNCTION. DODGE WAS AWARE OF THE FAILURE BUT THERE WERE NO RELATED RECALLS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 42,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 96,000.

I PURCHASED MY 2002 DURANGO IN AUGUST 2007 WITH UNDER 74K MILES ON IT. ABOUT 6 MONTHS LATER, MY HUSBAND AND I FOUND THAT THE PASSENGER FRONT WINDOW WOULD NOT RESPOND TO THE MASTER CONTROL OR THE PASSENGER'S CONTROL. THE DEALER COULDN'T GET IT TO HAPPEN AGAIN. WE WORRIED ABOUT IT AT THE TIME, HAVING NEWLY MOVED TO OREGON WHERE WINTERS ARE USUALLY VERY RAINY. THANKFULLY, WE HAVEN'T HAD ANY FURTHER TROUBLE. *TR

MY 2002 DODGE DURANGO PURCHASE NEW IN FEB. 2002, AND HAD DRIVEN FOR ABOUT 3 1/2 YEARS THE PASSENGER WINDOWS FAIL TO WORK. THE MASTER CONTROL IS THE ONLY WAY THAT I CAN OPEN THE WINDOWS. NOW ON OCCASION THE WINDOW WILL INTERMITTENTLY OPEN AND CLOSE USING THE INDIVIDUAL SWITCHES BUT IT IS VERY SELDOM HAVE TALKED TO SEVERAL OTHER OWNERS OF THESE DURANGOS AND THEY HAVE BEEN HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM, WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THIS IS A MANUFACTURE DEFECT OR IS IT POSSIBLE THAT JUST SUDDENLY ALL MY PASSENGER WINDOW BROKE AT THE SAME TIME. OTHER THAN THAT I HAVE BEEN VERY SATISFIED WITH THE SERVICE OF THE VEHICLE. I HAVE HAD IT SINCE I PURCHASED IT IN 2002 AND IT HAS ONLY 35,000 MILES ON IT. IT DOESN'T SEEM THAT A VEHICLE WITH THAT LITTLE USE WOULD HAVE A PROBLEM OF THIS SORT. THANKS,DIANE *TR
