| Description of the problem | Much like the ram 3500, the turn signal on my 2006 ram 1500 began malfunctioning several months ago and continues to do so intermittently. At times, the left turn signal turns on the right blinker; other times, the opposite happens - left turns on right. Still other times, the multi-function switch does nothing at all. In response to similar complaints about the 3500, chrysler has voluntarily issued an extended warranty on this issue for the 2006 model year. They should do the same for 1500 models as well as this is a very distracting and an obviously serious potential safety hazard. |
