Description of the problem	I own a 2006 dodge ram quad cab 1500 4x4 that has been having repeated problems with the multi-function switch that controls the wipers and the turn signals. Several times while driving in the rain this issue has happened to were i have had my children in the truck with me and had to pull off the road because of not being able to see because of the wipers not working and in doing so drove into the median causing me to puncture the left front tire. I had to do this because i didn't want to have or cause an accident. My vehicle has been in the shop twice over this problem and it still isn't fixed. What does it take to get something done about this! There has been several, and i mean several complaints over this same part. Does it take someone being killed or seriously injured before someone is held liable. I spent several thousand dollars on this truck, along with an extended warranty, but there is no price tag for loss of life do to someone not being held accountable for their equipment. Please, we need something done to remedy this problem that millions of dodge owners are being forced to deal with. Please don't let loss of life be the reason for a change because then it's too late.
