DRAT! Once gain I should have checked here before i spent the money. I'm having the exact same problem with a Trico 12-A. All of my blades were so old they were starting to tear at the ends, and the rear was the worst, so I needed new ones badly. Most auto parts stores around here don't offer a lot of choices when it comes to rear blades so I took the chance. Have you found a brand that works well that I might find on Amazon? Thanks in advance. I'm wondering if I need a new wiper arm. It feels like the spring tension might be a little light. Update: I just tried an ACDelco 8-212A and the results are the same. I'm thinking the arm spring is not supplying enough pressure. Has anyone tried those Sure Wipe add-on springs? It's either that or a whole new wiper arm.

Perfect! This post just answered my latest question. Scenario: I had just come to a slow stop on a downhill when the brake warning light illuminated with a "BING". This is the first time this has happened at this particular stop light. I know my park brake was fully released so that had nothing to do with the warning. I just got home and rather than hunt through the manual I came here and found this post. It turns out that my brake fluid was about half way down so I brought it up to the 'FULL' line. I expect this won't happen again but I will find out soon enough.

So far the new module works flawlessly. Good thing too because my present situation has me using it a lot more frequently. It is very convenient and makes taking calls while driving a whole lot safer.

Call me crazy. I got a new replacement module from an Ohio dealer on eBay for about $230 and installed it today. It was a bigger pain getting the old one out than putting the new one in. I had to remove the brake pedal assembly. Anyway, I got the new one in and it works, for now at least. The hardware and software dates on the new module are a year newer than the old one so I'm hoping they have the bugs worked out and I won't be going through this again any time soon.

Well. it looks like the module has finally gone completely F.U.B.A.R. When I reset it I now get an error that the "Device is Unreachable" even though my iPhone appears to be paired properly. I even re-paired it but still have the same issue. Oh well. Like I said, I don't consider that functionality to be vital and I certainly do not feel inclined to spend $300+ for a replacement module, especially when I'm not entirely sure I won't wind up with the same problem again later on.

I bought the vehicle used so it has no bumper to bumper warranty. The interval between failures seems to be getting shorter. The most recent was 3 days. I've done some research and I'm pretty sure I can replace the module should I choose to. I'm just not sure it's worth the money for a new one and I can't guarantee that a used one won't wind up giving me the same problem. I would love to know exactly what is causing the failure. So far a power reset brings it right back.

I'm having the same type of problem on a 2013 Journey SE with the Uconnect 4.3 radio. The Bluetooth module has failed on me twice in a few months and only a power reset by disconnecting the negative battery cable under the hood for a minute or two has cleared the problem both times. I bought this vehicle used from a reputable dealer in June 2015 and had no trouble for the first few months. The Bluetooth Hands Free system is just a convenience to me, not a vital function, so if it goes out completely I can live without it. A good Bluetooth headset can provide the same function, with the exception of automatically muting the sound system. As for music streaming via Bluetooth, I don't use it. I prefer to hook up my 64gig iPod Touch to the USB port. It's more reliable and gets charged as well. If the Bluetooth module does completely fail and I decide to replace it I'd rather do it myself, if it isn't a nightmare to replace. Why pay a labor fee if you don't have to? Does anyone here know where the module is located and how much work is involved in replacing it? Until then I may just keep a 15mm socket wrench in the rear storage compartment in case I choose to reset it while I'm away from home. Thanks to all who respond.
