Description of the problem	Turn signal malfuctioned attributed to the front control module according to chrysler star representative. The dealer was not able to reproduce the failure and was returning my vehicle to me . This is a "known" problem that the dealer was not prepared or able to diagnose. According to rick at chryser star support desk the front control module p/n 56051036ad has a known problem. I was only able to find tthis out after calling chrysler customer service and insisting that the dealer call their star support desk and open an incident. The rep at the support desk immediately told jesse the service tech that the front control module had a known problem. The intermittent failure created a safety hazard on the highway by not funtioning at all or malfunctioning by indicating a right hand turn signal when the lever was in the left hand turn position. *ak
