| Description of the problem | These trucks have been sold with faulty electrical systems that dodge has not been able to correct with out costing the owners thousands of dollars. The tpim module constantly needs to be reflashed and replaced to keep your trucks electrical system working. They have designed this system so that the consumer cannot repair or even inspect the system which i believe is a violation of federal law. All of these vehicles have issues with the module and dodge has made millions of dollars because of their faulty part. This module affects lights, wipers, a/c, cranking system etc... This needs to be looked at carefully and dodge should be held liable to repair this problem. |
