2 Wiper problem

Failure Date: 11/28/2011

While driving to work in the rain the wipers stopped mid cycle, when I made adjustments on the column control the wipers went into low speed mode and would also work in the high speed mode, however the wipers would not stop working until several trys to turn them off worked. The problem continued to present it's self and at one point the wipers continued to run with the key in the "off" position. I made an appointment with dick hannah Chrysler in vancouver , wa on 3 Dec 2011 where the problem was found to be in the t. I. P. M (fault code b3205) . I have made arrangements to have the t. I. P. M replaced by this dealer when they get the t. I. P. M replacement from Chrysler (5 days out). The cost of this problem caused by one circuit of the t. I. P. M is $840. 00 and there is no way to have the one circuit replaced or repaired on the defective unit in the Pt Cruiser. The cost of this problem is only one issue in this matter the major issue is safety caused by the distraction of attention when the problem presents itself while the vehicle is being driven. There are many sites on the internet that have information regarding the t. I. P. M failure on Chrysler vehicles which indicates a safety problem with the t. I. P. M. I feel that this matter should be looked into as it is a potential safety hazard waiting to present loss of visibility and distraction of attention in regard to safe operation of the vehicle.
