| Description of the problem | The wires in the wire bundles on the rear quad cab doors continue to break when opening the back doors overtime which causes the door locks, speaker, power windows, and alarm system not to function. This has now become a common problem on multiple year dodge ram trucks. The wire bundles should be recalled and fixed free of charge. This has happened to my vehicle twice now, and it is expensive to have the dealer fix the wires when you know they are going to break again. There should be a recall for this defect. Search youtube and find multiple videos on what causes this problem. Example videos here: 02 dodge ram 1500 quad cab - broken rear power locks, speaker, window motor. Http://www. Youtube. Com/watch?
