| Description of the problem | Vehicles electronics begin to go buzurk. Speedometer goes up and down, registers miles incorrectly, buzzer will not turn off, windshield wipers will not turn off. Taken to dealership and were told the wiring system is getting wet. On two occasions they packed wire with grease to keep wiring from getting wet. This quits working within a month or so. This last visit we were finally told that dodge/chrysler was aware this was a common problem with this model truck, but at this time they have not developed a part to repair and have not recalled. We were told they are unable to repair at this time. *ak |
