Description of the problem	I have to keep replacing the rear tail light bars because they seem to overheat and scorch the sockets. The lamp out light and warning bell is constantly coming on. The bell is beyond being tolerated while driving. I have to turn off my front light switch for the bell to go off. Lots of fun at night. The dodge forum says this is a very common problem with 3rd generation dodge ram trucks. There should be a recall on this system. I can not ethically sell this truck with this constant problem.
