| Description of the problem | Took truck to dealer because the headlights, taillights were going on and off intermittently whether the light switch was on of off and the key was in the run position (started or not) and windshield wipers would turn off when this happens. I about had a terrible accident when i found out the wipers quit working, imagine that! Took my 2002 dodge ram 4x4, 3. 7l quad cab sport to dealer and they said it was the pdc (power distribution center (fuse box)) that they are prone to corrosion and they have replaced many of them. Why no recall when many lives are at stake here and so many problems with these found? Could have been me, and i have 3 children that depend on me, so chrysler own up to it and do the right thing. |
