| Description of the problem | I have 2006 dodge ram 2500 trx4, i started having problems with my rt rear turn signal approx 2 months ago. Thought it was bulb, wasn't! I took truck to local auto electric shop, was told on dec 14th, 2010 that the problem was the entire fuse block that controls the turn signals. He called dodge dealer and was told that the part would run over $700 and that there were 200 already on back-order! Now, jan 3rd, 2011 when i push on brake the rt rear light flickers/flashes as if the turn signal is working. I don't believe that $700 plus labor is acceptable from dodge, and even if i ordered the part they can't tell me when it would deliver due to large back log on them. It seems to me that there is a major issue and i think that there should be a recall issued by dodge. |
