WHILE DRIVING TO WORK, MY CHRYSLER SEABRINGS WINDSHIELD WIPERS STARTED MOVING ON THEIR OWN. AT FIRST IT WAS MAYBE ONCE . AFTER A COUPLE OF DAYS THEY STOPPED WORKING COMPLETELY. NOT HAVING WORKING WINDSHIELD WIPERS IN FLORIDA IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT PRETTY MUCH RAINS EVERY DAY. I TOOK MY CAR TO A LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP AND NOW I AM BEING CHARGED $1100 A SWITCH AND A TIPM. I HAD NO IDEA WHAT A TIPM WAS SO I LOOKED IT UP ON THE INTERNET. SEEMS CHRYSLER HAS A DEFECTIVE PART ON ALMOST ALL OF THEIR VEHICLES WHICH CONTROL ALL ELECTRICAL DEVICES. THIS SITUATION IS SO UNFAIR. THESE TIPM PARTS SHOULD BE REPLACED FREE OF CHARGE.
