Wipers will not turn off. Turn signals are working along with lights except the wipers.

In 2013 I bought a new Dodge Dart limited from a Dodge dealer. I bought the car in March and by October when it got cooler outside, it was evident there were some electrical issues related to the uconnect screen blanking out and dash lights flickering while driving or when abs engaged, and engine and battery lights on. The whole car seemed like it was resetting as everything electrical flickered and turned off and then on again. I took the car back to the dealership while it was under warranty at least 3 times to no avail. It would sometimes come back on after turning the car off for a period of time but then it turned off and stayed off for days. The Dodge mechanics claimed they could not get the problem to come up for them at all during yearly visits from 2014-2018. I researched the internet for solutions and disconnecting and reconnecting the battery seemed to fix it so that became a temporary resolution. After a while it became much more consistent and the battery trick didn't always work anymore. So I went to a second Dodge dealership in 2019 when my car was at the end of it's warranty and they did see the issue occur and decided to replace the screen all together. That next winter the problem came back so I went back to the dealership and this time they replaced the body control module. It's the next winter and the center console is completely out so I cannot control hazard lights, the turn signals don't make noise, backup camera is out, seat controls don't work, rear defrost never turns on but the front defrost blasts hot air constantly causing fog. I feel unsafe as I cannot see out of the rear window due to consistent under 40 degrees temps. The dash lights went completely out yesterday and I could not see my speedometer, but it came back on 60 min later. The engine and battery lights are on constantly since the weather changed. The dash lights are a huge safety concern as I don't know how fast I'm driving and it happens while the car is in motion.

I have had so many problems with this vehicle. I have had to replace two coils, had the air conditioner fixed, had to replace my rear shocks, which caused me to have to buy two new rear tires, the windshield wiper motor was replaced, my car was burning oil until I got a recall for that. Now my blower fan for the heater is not working, I only have 66000, miles on this car. All these issues could really cause dangerous problems. When my 1st coil went out I couldn't get my car restarted in the middle of town. When the 2nd coil went out my car would barely move and this happened before I got the recall for the engine oil problem. Now I will have to repair the blower fan because the defroster and heat aren't working.

The windshield wipers do not turn off no matter what . Nothing was wrong with them before . It started all a sudden when I would signal. Then then they stayed on. I have read many others Dodge Dart owners have the same issue. . I have seen there is a recall for the 2016 but not the 2013 that has the same issues.

I was trying to use the windshield washer while driving home and the wipers turned on but no fluid came out. I assumed I was out of fluid and tried to turn the wipers off to find they stayed on while when I put them in the off position. I tried to change the speed of the wipers and they just stayed in the normal on speed no matter what setting I set them at including off. So for the next 40 miles I drove into the sun on a 90 degree day with the wipers on. There were no warning lights or anything. I took it to the repair shop and they assessed that it was the wiper functions on the multifunction switch malfunctioned, even though the turn signal and headlight functions remained intact, and the switch needed to be replaced, a part that costs $497. 66. I decided against the repair at the time and they disconnected the wiper motor for me so the wipers were not continuously on and potentially ruining the windshield, although leaving me completely blind if it were to start to rain. I have since traded in the vehicle for another one so I can't offer it up for inspection but I can get you my records.

Windshield wipers came on one day after using the turn signal and have not shut off. Multifunction switch has been replaced and issue is not resolved. Currently the wiper motor is disconnected to prevent wipers from running continuously. Dodge customer service has told me there is no recall and there is nothing they can do. Dealership wants money to run diagnostic and then more money for labor to fix the issue they find. This needs to be investigated as a safety issue for distraction and visibility for the driver.

The contact owns a 2016 Dodge Dart. The contact stated while starting the vehicle, the windshield wipers failed to operate as needed. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to griffin motors company (11031 perry hwy, meadville, PA 16335) where it was diagnosed with the body control module needing to be replaced. The contact was relating the failure to NHTSA campaign number: 16v813000 (visibility). The contact was informed that the recall was serviced prior to the contact owning the vehicle. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The manufacturer offered to reimburse half the cost of the repairs. The failure mileage was approximately 32,500.

My Dodge Dart wipers remain turned on, with no ability to control the speeds or use windshield wiper fluid. After inspecting, the control ribbon cable rubs against plastic whenever blinkers are used. This is a very common issue and almost caused a crash when driving in bad weather. Dodge needs a recall because of this design. I can have the part replaced, however it could just reoccur again. The vehicle only has 44,000 miles.

My windshield wipers and washers won't turn on anymore. And I've searched up this problem to try to fix it, but it seems that there are hundreds of people who had the same problem with this make and model of car. It can cause major accidents due to not being able to see during heavy rains because the I couldn't turn on the wipers to wipe the rain waters away. Driving back from warren, in to fort wayne, in was a scary trip through the I-69 south and us 33 s route, the heavy rain blinded and covered everything on the windshield, and the roads and other mv was hardly able to see, all I can see was a glimpse of blurry yellow lights from the semi trucks. Please have this recall, it's very important.

Used my turn signals and wipers came on and would not stop unless engine was turned off cost $739. 00 to repair car, I believe this is a recallable event?this has happened to other Dodge customer.

My wipers randomly go off or don’t want to work. I seen a recall for this on 2016 cars but it says mine is not one of them. I took it to the dealership and they said it is a thousand dollars to fix.

When trying to clean my windows when a the rain left weird streaks while driving I was unable to clean my window and made it very hard to see while driving. When I tried to put fluid in the windershield fluid it was clogged. The transmission is terrible to shift when taking off from stop position or pick up and go in back up traffic.

The contact owns 2013 Dodge Dart. The contact stated while driving 50 mph, the windshield wipers failed to stop. The driver's side windshield wiper detached from the vehicle. Additionally, after driving at various speeds the vehicle failed to start. The tpms warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to w&l Subaru service center (535 point township dr, northumberland, PA 17857, (888) 739-7206) where diagnosed that the lever and ribbon needed to repaired. The vehicle was repaired however, the failure recurred. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 53,000.

The interior lights, trunk lights and cigarette lighter stopped working. The windshield wipers started sticking in the on position and then got to where they just would not shut off. I took the car to the dealership where they changed the bcm module for nearly 600. 00 only to find it was not the problem. I do not have answers but see numerous complaints related to 2013 Dodge Dart windshield wipers not turning off and people paying upwards of 1000. 00 to try to remedy the issue. This should not be our responsibility. The issue is present whenever the car is on. The mechanic said the wiper motor is getting 12 volts even while the car is off!.

My shifting cable disconnected from transmission again when I shifted from park.

Hello, my car's windshield wipers will not turn off and windshield washer fluid stopped working about a week ago. I drove it to the repair shop to get an estimate. On the way back, a passing vehicle threw some dirt onto the the front windshield and the action of the wipers caused it to smear, making it difficult to see. I could also not use the washer fluid to clear the mud. I'm very concerned about the safety of anyone needing to drive my car. Thank you for looking into this problem for me.

Tl the contact owns a 2013 Dodge Dart. While driving and making a left turn, the windshield wipers engaged independently and have not shut off.

The window wipers won't stop even when I attempted to turn it off. It won't turn off. Then I replaced with a new wipers, it won't stop. Then raining, the window is hard to see during the rainy. When I turn the light signal on to turn right; the wipers turns on by itself. It's frustrating and safety concerns. It's getting worse.

I was driving down the highway when it was raining then it stopped then it started up again and went to turn on my wipers and they wouldnt turn on, so I called a buddy of mine thats a mechanic and he told me its probly the steering column ribbon broke and sure enough I took it to Dodge and thats what it was. This should be recalled for a defect and should be replaced at no charge this is a almost $500. 00 part to replace it.

The windshield wiper stalk malfunctions, causing the wipers to stay in the on position even when the switch on the stalk says off. Through normal driver use, the spring/ribbon behind the stalk breaks or severs and use of wipers and mist is compromised. With wipers only working at one speed, in a heavy rain or no rain at all, the drivers vision is affected which could result in a crash. Researching online in Dart forums and other posts, this issue is prevalent among this model of vehicle. The faulty wiper stalk could also be an indicator of a failing bcm. In my specific instance, the car was in motion and after attempting to mist my windshield and clear it of debris, no mist was dispensed and the wipers stayed on permanently.

The multi-function swithc on the vehicle which controls the wipers, high beams, and turn signals is known to break through wear and tear or normal use. The switch is ran by a ribbon which controls the different functions of the switch and through normal use this part is known to break. My 2013 Dodge Dart rallye had this happen causing the windshield wipers to not turn off creating a safety and visibility issue for myself and my wife. There are numerous complaints on the internet about this issue yet Dodge refuses to fix the issue knowing that the part is faulty. The total cost to have my vehicle repaired was over $900 for a part that shold be replaced by Dodge as it is a known safety issue.

First my wiper fluid would not spray, which caused the check engine light to come on. Then, one day I went to put my turn signal on and my wipers would not turn off from that moment forward. It was not raining and the wipers were not on already. My car was in park when this happened. Parked on a suburban street. I was advised it's an issue with the ribbon in the control arm. I have avoided accidents, but I also cannot drive at all if it's raining. I had my friend cut the power from the motor b/c of course no fuse. My wipers wouldn't stop moving and then they started stopping in the middle of the windshield while driving which became even more dangerous. It's extremely costly to fix.

Wipers dont shut of when cat is running continue running on the same speed, they will not turn off until the car is shut.

Wipers have turned and will not shut off while the car is running and am unable to change the speed of the wipers. It started with them turning on when the left blinker was activated, but they would shut off when the blinker did. They are now turning on every time the car is started and will not shut off until the car is turned off. They washer sprayer does not work anymore either. This is very distracting when trying to drive under normal conditions because the wipers keep moving in front of you and they screech horribly since the windshield is dry and the washer fluid no longer works. This is also very dangerous when driving in the rain because you can not change the speed of the wipers to keep up with the heaviness of the rain. I have found through many forums that this is a very common problem with this vehicle make and model.

The wiring cable that is inside the wiper control arm to the left of the steering wheel that controls the windshield wipers has cracked due to the fraile wires and the continued actions of using the wipers. The wipers stay on at a slow speed all of the time. Unable to control the function. Wears out hw motor for the arms / wipers, and unsafe to drive car. When car is started, the arms rotate non stop/ cannot find a replacement fix for the problem. My mechanic said he can make repairs if there was replacement parts. I don't want to die driving this car. I have been able to avoid car crashed up to now. I need the car to get to work every day. The trade in value.

Was driving car down the highway went to spray window with washer fluid and the fluid came out but the wiper usually move 3 times and they did not work so I manually turned they wiper on and they would not move.

The ribbon cable that controls the windshield wipers has been severed, due to repeated use of the blinkers on the same control. The windshield wipers always run now, at a low speed. They can not be stopped, sped up, and can no longer use the wiper fluid dispenser.

Takata recall transmission issues and blind spot detector issues while in motion my right blind spot detector will turn even if nobody is in the proper parameters of the vehicle.

My 2013 Dodge Dart sxt windshield wipers will not turn off! this is because of the switch not working or it's an electrical issue. Turn signals still work but this is a hazard that can get driver hurt. It adds an distraction.
