Description of the problem	My name is [xxx]and i own a 2006 dodge ram 1500 pickup truck. After purchasing the truck i noticed that every once in a while when i pressed the turn indicator down to turn left, the right turn indicator light would turn on. This happened once or twice a day. A few weeks later this was happening everytime i drove, also the windshield wipers would only stay on low speed. I took the vehicle to a mechanic, and he "re-set" the system. Well, this worked for only a couple days. I had paid the mechanic a large sum of money to fix the problem so i could not afford to take the vehicle back. I drove around with this faulty turn indicator problem for around 6 months. This problem was such a nuisance for me, and not to mention illegal! Everytime i took a left turn i would have to place my arm out the window and turn. This was such an embarrassment for me. Finally i took the dodge ram truck to a dodge dealership, and they informed me that the problem was that i had a faulty "multifunction switch" and that it would cost $263. 00 to replace. So i gladly paid the money and go it fixed due to the un-safe turn indicator problem. I have been searching the internet for this problem and found that several people have had this "turn indicator" problem, and it seems to be that chrysler had installed faulty "multifunction switches" in their 06 dodge ram pickup trucks. I am asking you to please issue a recall on these faulty "multifunction switches" in the 06 dodge ram trucks before someone gets seriously injured or loses their life. Thank you information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
