| Description of the problem | A very dangerous problem with my 2005 dodge ram 1500 pick-up is occurring on a daily basis when i use the turn signal - windshield wiper - high beam " multi-switch". When trying to signal a left turn by pushing down on the "multi-switch" lever(left turn signal flashes two or three times then right turn signal activates uncommanded) if i try to engage the right turn signal some times it won't signal / flash at all. My truck only has 46,000 miles on it, not a good testimate for dodge. I read in a dodge repair website / forum that a lot of the same problems are occurring with the dodge ram pick-ups and mini vans. (all years) is there a recall or will a recall be considered in the near future? |
