| Description of the problem | The turn signal (multi-function) switch in my 2006 dodge 2500 is malfunctioning. When i turn on my left turn signal the right turn signal will flash and sometimes the left as well. The same thing happens when i put on my right turn signal, the left turn signal will flash. I have had two very close calls with this, the most recent while pulling a 34 foot fifth wheel trailer. I have seen numerous complaints about this on the diesel truck resource web page and some of the stories are of very serious close calls. This needs to be a recall. |
