The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 124,000.

Turned the lights on as it was getting dark while driving and even on high beams it was if headlights were barely on. Also the left front blinker failed although the back blinker did work but flashed extremely fast. Replaced both headlights and still have to use headlights on bright to see as if the lights are on dim. The left front blinker and side light failed within a month of relacement. When replaced again, there was no change. The blinker/side light failed to operate.

I purchased a pair of rain x 28 latitude wipers for a 2005 Chrysler Town & Country minivan in November of 2008 from walmart at the cost of $18. 97 each. I had been pleased with their performance. On the 8th of July when I turned the window washer on during a severe rainstorm, the passenger side wiper flew off. The pre installed connector came out and I could not find it. I do not know whether it just popped out or was broken or not. I stopped at the walmart store where it was purchased in east tawas, michigan to see if there was either a guarantee or some way I could get another connector. I was told by the auto dept. Manager on duty that there was no guarantee and that the wiper should be replaced every 6 months anyway and there was no way to get another connector without purchasing a new wiper. I consider this a safety hazard. If it happened to the drivers side wiper and a car or some other obstacle was in my path there is a good chance I would not have seen it and a serious accident could have occurred. The minivan was driven less than 3000 miles since the new blades were installed. The car is always garaged. I have been driving cars for 58 years and have never had a wiper fly off. I believe that there had to be a defect in this wiper. The wiper on the drivers side works fine showing no signs of wear.
