2006 Dodge Ram 2500 complaints

ON OCTOBER 25, 2015 AROUND 11:00 AM WHILE DRIVING 65-70 MPH ON THE PA TURNPIKE NEAR ALLENTOWN AREA (SOME MINOR ROAD DEFECTS APPEARED TO BE IN THE ROADWAY, WEATHER CONDITIONS GOOD) THE VEHICLE VIOLENTLY SHOOK AS IF ALL THE TIRES WERE BASKETBALLS. HAD TO HOLD ONTO STEERING WHEEL AS BEST AS I COULD FROM ALL THE SHAKING WHILE APPLYING BRAKES BUT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT SLOW DOWN. THIS IS THE FOURTH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED WITH THIS VEHICLE AFTER. WE CHECKED WITH THE DODGE DEALER TO SEE IF THERE WERE ANY RECALLS ON ANYTHING SIMILAR AND THEY TOLD US NO. SO WE BEGAN REPLACING TIRES, SHOCKS, STEERING SHAFT AND STEERING BOX, FRONT STABILIZER SHOCK, LEFT FRONT BALL JOINTS AND U JOINT, NEW BRAKES AND ROTORS ALL THE WAY AROUND AND THE ONES WE TOOK OFF WERE STILL VERY NEW LOOKING, SERVICE STATION WANTED TO KNOW IF WE WANTED TO KEEP THEM, WE SAID NO. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS ALMOST IN THE SAME AREA AS 10/25/15 WHILE TRAVELING TO TENNESSEE SO WE DID NOT TRAVEL OVER 60 MPH, THEN AGAIN TRAVELING BACK TO PA, THIS WAS WHEN WE CHANGED OUT THE AFOREMENTIONED PARTS, THE THIRD TIME HAPPENED WHILE OUR SON WAS DRIVING 60 MPH ON ROUTE 33 IN EASTON, PA. THERE HAS TO BE SOMETHING SERIOUSLY WRONG!! I JUST THANK GOD MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING BECAUSE I WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GET IT UNDER CONTROL.. WE WOULD APPRECIATE IT VERY MUCH IF YOU COULD INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE. THANK YOU *TR

RECIEVED A RECALL NOTICE, STILL WAITING FOR FOLLOW UP RECALL NOTICE WHEN PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. HAVE NOT RECIEVED A NOTICE AS OF YET.

BRAKE PEDAL BUSHINGS BROKE/WORN DURING OPERATION ON THE INTERSTATE ALLOWING PEDAL TO MOVE MORE THAN 3 INCHES SIDE TO SIDE.THE MOVEMENT IN THE PEDAL IS A SAFETY ISSUE EXPERIENCED BY ALL RAM OWNERS WITH POWER PEDALS. THE TRUCK ONLY HAS 50,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER.

THE TRUCK WILL NOT POWER THE LEFT STOP LAMP OR SIGNAL LAMP ON ANY OF MY TRAILERS; HOWEVER, THE LEFT SIGNAL AND STOP LAMP ON THE TRUCK WORK PERFECTLY. DODGE DEALER INDICATED THAT THE PROBLEM WAS IN THE TRUCK'S TIPM WHICH DOES NOT HAVE A FUSE FOR THAT PORTION OF THE TRAILER'S LIGHTING AND BURNED OUT INTERNALLY. DEALERSHIP INDICATED THAT THE ONLY WAY TO REPAIR IS TO REPLACE THE TIPM WHICH COSTS $1026.00. DEALERSHIP ALSO INDICATED THAT THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM ON THIS VEHICLE WHICH THEY HAVE SEEN BEFORE. THERE IS NOTHING TO INDICATE THAT THE TRAILER LAMPS AREN'T WORKING EXCEPT TO PHYSICALLY OBSERVE THEM. THIS TIPM ALSO CONTROLS NUMEROUS OTHER THINGS IN THE TRUCK AND INFO FROM THE DEALERSHIP AND INTERNET SEARCHES INDICATE THERE ARE MANY SERIOUS PROBLEMS OCCURRING DUE TO THEM MALFUNCTIONING. THESE ARE DEFECTIVE UNITS THAT SHOULD BE RECALLED. CONSUMERS SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY OVER $1000 TO MAKE A SIMPLE LIGHT FUNCTION, OR DEAL WITH A WORSE PROBLEM.

TURN SIGNAL WILL FLASH THE OPPOSITE SIGNAL THAN THE DIRECTION YOU DESIRE. EXAMPLE, TURNING ON THE LEFT TURN SINGLE WILL CAUSE THE RIGHT TURN SIGNAL TO FLASH, AND VISE VERSA, AS WELL AS CAUSING THE EMERGENCY SIGNALS TO ACTIVATE. I AM UNABLE TO INDICATE TO OTHER DRIVERS MY CORRECT DIRECTION OF TURN WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC OR AT A SIGNAL LIGHT, STOP SIGN, MERGING, CHANGING LANES, ECT..

NO INDICATORS OF ANY ISSUES TO THIS - WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 65 AND 75 MPH THE TRUCK BEGINS TO SMOKE NOT ONLY OUT OF THE BACK END OF THE TRUCK BUT UNDERNEATH THE BODY AS WELL AS UNDER THE HOOD OF THE TRUCK, AND WE BEGAN TO SMELL FUEL. THE CEL LIGHT THEN COMES ON. WE HAD THE WHOLE FAMILY IN THE TRUCK AND A SMALL FIRE EXTINGUISHER. THIS IS REALLY NERVING SINCE DODGE/CHRYSLER AS WELL AS CUMMINS KNOWING THIS LINE IS A PROBLEM AND HAS NOT DONE A DARN THING ABOUT IT TO RECTIFY ANY COMPENSATION. I HATE TO SAY THIS BUT I GUESS IT IS GOING TO TAKE SOMEONE GETTING REALLY HURT BUT YOUR ATTITUDE OF NOT WANTING RECALL SUCH A FIRE HAZARD! LOOK AT ALL THE FORUMS AND SEE THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THE FUEL LINE! LINE TO 4TH INJECTOR NOW MAJOR REPAIR BECAUSE OF IT ALL THE FUEL LOST UNDER THE HOOD AND ALL OVER THE ENGINE AND FIREWALL!

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE ENGINE STARTED DYING THEN TAKING BACK OFF, THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE SPEED ODOMETER DROPPED TO ZERO WOULDNT COME BACK UP WHILE I WAS STILL MOVING, THEN THE ABS LIGHT THE CHECK ENGING LIGHT AND THE BRAKE LIGHT AND WASHER FLUID LIGHT ALL CAME ON AND I LOST POWER TO THE TAIL LIGHTS HEAD LIGHTS AND THE WINDOWS STARTED ROOLING UP AND DOWN BY THEM SELVES. WHEN I GOT HOME AND TURNED OFF THE TRUCK I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT IT WAS THE TIPM AND IT WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THEY SAID THE TRAILER I WAS PULLING MUST OF HAD A SHORT AND THATS WHAT CAUSED IT. I TOLD THEM THAT I WASNT PULLING A TRAILER AND THEY CALLED ME A LIAR AND HUNG UP ON ME THE WINDOWS CONTINUED TO ROLL UP AND DOWN UNTILL THE BATT WAS DISCONNECTED. THE NEXT MORNING I THEN HOOKED THE BATTERY BACK UP AND IT ALL WORKED FINE. NO PROBLEM A COUPLE WEEKS LATER IT STARTED AGAIN FINALL FOUND A SHORT IN THE LIGHT CONTROL ON THE RIGHT TAIL LIGHT REPLACED THE PART THAT HOLDS THE BULBS AND THE PROBLEM CORRECTED ITSELF. NOW IT HAS SINCE STARTED DOING IT ALL AGAIN BUT WILL NOT RESET ITSELF I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT THE TIPM WOULD RESET ITSELF FIVE TIMES THEN WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THE VEH WAS NOT PULLING A TRAILER WHEN THIS HAPPENED AND THE ONLY TRAILER I PULL WITH IT HAS THE LIGHTING PACKAGE WORKING FINE ON ALL TRUCKS I HOOK IT TO BUT NOT THIS ONE. PLEASE GET THE DODGE COMPANY TO RECALL THESE PEICES OF JUNK IM TIRED OF PAYING 1200 DOLLARS TO REPLACE A BUNCH OF PARTS

WHEN SWITCHING ON A TURN SIGNAL, BOTH LIGHTS FLASH OR NOTHING HAPPENS. WIPERS FAIL OR WORK SPORADICALLY. WIPERS DON'T WORK WHEN I NEED THEM TO AND CAUSES ME TO NOT DRIVE IN THE RAIN. THE BLINKERS WORK HALF THE TIME AND ALMOST CAUSES SOMEONE TO HIT MY TRUCK BECAUSE THEY THOUGHT I WAS TURNING RIGHT WHEN I HAD THE BLINKER TO TURN LEFT.

UPON RESTARTING MY 2006 DODGE RAM 2500 DIESEL, MY ABS LIGHT AND PARKING BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON AFTER DRIVING A FEW SHORT MOMENTS ,I ALSO NOTICED THAT SPEEDOMETER INDICATOR WAS NOT WORKING BUT THE VEHICLE RPM INDICATOR WAS. CAUSING MYSELF SOME CONCERN I CHECKED MY BRAKES AND NOTICED I HAD A HARD BRAKE PEDAL WHEN APPLIED BUT WAS STILL ABLE TO STOP. I CONTACTED MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND TOOK MY VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE FOR THIS ISSUE AND RECALL NOTICE CONCERNING THE DRIVERS AIR BAG INFLATOR. I WAS CONTACTED BACK BY MY SERVICE ADVISER, ASKING FOR APPROVAL FOR ADDITIONAL TWO HOURS OF DIAGNOSES TIME DUE TO THE FACT HIS MECHANIC COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM.I WAS NOTIFIED AT END OF THE DAY THAT THE ISSUE WAS FOUND TO BE FAULTY POWER DISTRIBUTION CENTER, OUTPUT FAILED FOR CIRCUIT F202 UNABLE TO RECOVER TIPM THRU RECONFIGURATION. NO PDC AVAILABLE THRU PARTS AT THIS TIME, FABRICATED JUMPER LEAD TO TO CIRCUIT F202 FROM FUSE 28 IN PDC. THIS IS A TEMPORARY FIX CUSTOMER ADVISED TO REPLACE PDC ASAP CURRENT PRICE $917.00 ADDITIONAL 1.5 HRS LABOR TO INSTALL AND PROGRAM UNIT . TOTAL HOURS FOR DIAGNOSIS WAS 3 HOURS AT A COST OF $315.00 TO CUSTOMER. I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD INVESTIGATED BY THE NHTSA AS A ON GOING CONCERN AND FOR CONSIDERATION OF A ISSUING A NEW SAFETY RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE.

AFTER BEING INSPECTED AT DEALERSHIP FOR PRIOR TIE ROD AND STEERING LINK RECALLS, MY RAM 2500 AT ABOUT THE 125K MILEAGE POINT BEGAN TO EXPERIENCE THE NOW WELL DOCUMENTED "DODGE DEATH RATTLLE", WHERE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE FRONT END WOULD VIOLENTLY SHIMMY. SOON THEREAFTER MY TIE ROD DID FRACTURE, CAUSING ME TO LOSE STEERING ABILITY ON A 40MPH ROADWAY, WHERE I NARROWLY AVOIDED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I HAD IT REPAIRED AT MY LOCAL SHOP AND IT WENT ANOTHER 10K BEFORE THE DODGE DEATH RATTLE REAPPEARED AGAIN, AND DESPITE NUMEROUS CHECKS ON ALIGNMENT, SHOCKS, FRONT END, THERE DID NOT SEEM TO BE AN ANSWER. THERE ALWAYS REMAINED A SHIMMY ON BUMPS ON THE HIGHWAY, AND I ONLY DROVE THIS TRUCK ON LOCAL ROADS THEREAFTER. TONIGHT BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY, THE STEERING LINK ASSEMBLY JUST FRACTURED AND I AGAIN LOST STEERING ABILITY COMPLETELY. THIS SAME RECALL WAS FOLLOWED BY ANOTHER RECALL BY DODGE ON THIS COMPONENT (H46 WAS FIRST, THEN N62) IT IS MY BELIEF THIS DEFECTIVE COMPONENTRY CAUSING THE "DEATH RATTLE" ALSO PUT SO MUCH STRESS ON THE REST OF THE FRONT END THAT THIS VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. AS I EXPLORE ON THE INTERNET IT IS QUITE OBVIOUS THAT DODGE WAS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM, AND DID NOTHING ABOUT IT FOR MY VEHICLE. I ALMOST DIED THE FIRST TIME, THANKFULLY THE SECOND TIME I WAS NOT EVEN ON THE ROAD YET ! I SPOKE WITH DODGE TONIGHT AND WAS TOLD THAT I COULD BRING IT TO A DEALER TO INSPECT AND "IF IT IS INDEED DUE TO ANY OF THE RECALLED ITEMS" THEY WOULD GLADLY REPAIR IT FOR ME AND PROVID

TRUCK IS NOT DRIVEN VERY OFTEN. I NOTICED THE POWER ADJUSTABLE BREAK PEDALS MOVES SIDE TO SIDE EARLY. BUT DO TO LACK OF DRIVING I WAS NEVER ABLE TO PHYSICALLY BRING IT TO A DEALER UNTIL JUST RECENTLY. I HAD IT THERE FOR THE AIR BAG RECALL. AND REMEMBERED TO ASK THEM TO LOOK AT THE PEDAL. THEY SAID IT WAS DEFINITELY BAD AND A SAFETY ISSUE. THEY NEVER DID THIS TYPE OF REPAIR. THEY WERE NOT SURE HOW TO DO IT AND I THINK THAT IT SHOULD BE FIXED FROM A DESIGN FAULT. I SEE THAT THIS IS SOMEWHAT COMMON FROM MY RESEARCH. ALSO I SEE THAT DODGE HAS A REPAIR KIT OUT FOR THIS FROM 2009. IF I HIT BREAK PEDAL IT WANTS TO SWING TO THE LEFT CAUSING MY FOOT TO SLIP OFF AND HIT HE ACCELERATOR.

I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE SINCE NEW AND ONLY USE FOR 6 WEEKS A YEAR AT OUR VACATION HOME. I HAVE HAD STEERING/ENGINE[INJECTORS]/DRIVELINE ISSUES BUT BIGGEST CONCERN IS THE TIPM. I MADE THE MISTAKE AND PLUGGED IN THE BOAT TRAILER AND THEN THE LEFT LOW BEAM WENT OUT. TOOK TO DEALER FOR A REFLASH AND THEY WERE ABLE TO MAKE THE HEADLIGHTS WORK BUT NOW HAVE THE TURN SIGNAL ISSUE. THEY INFORMED ME I NEED ANOTHER TIPM SO SINCE I HAVE BOUGHT 1 ALREADY[OFF WARRANTY] I AM HOPING WITH ALL THE COMPLAINTS, FIAT/RAM WILL ISSUE A RECALL AS THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE? I TURN LEFT AND THE RIGHT INDICATOR COMES ON???I WOULD RATHER HAVE NO LOW BEAM THAN THIS ISSUE. I WILL NEVER OWN A FIAT VEHICLE DUE TO MY PAST AND CURRENT ISSUES WITH THE TIPM IN THIS 2006 DODGE RAM [MADE IN MEXICO] 2500 LARAMIE WITH A 5.9 CUMMINS....

WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD THE TRUCK SHAKES VIOLENTLY, CAUSING LOOSE OF CONTROL TO A DEGREE, WHILE TRYING TO SLOW THE VEHICLE DOWN. AT APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH MARK THE SHAKING STOPS AND DRIVING CAN CONTINUE AS NORMAL UNTIL THE NEXT BUMP, AT WHICH TIME THE PROCESS STARTS OVER. THIS IS A MAJOR HAZARD IF ANYONE IS BEHIND YOU THE POTENTIAL OF BEING REAR-ENDED IS GREAT AS YOU HAVE TO GREATLY REDUCE SPEED TO REGAIN CONTROL OF YOUR VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE RAM 2500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TURN SIGNALS AND BRAKE LIGHTS MALFUNCTIONED ON THE TRAILERS ATTACHED TO THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED AT ANY SPEED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER.

I WAS CRUISING DOWN A 4 LANE HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 75 MPH AND HIT A MINOR BUMP IN THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY (FELT LIKE A VERTICAL MOTION AND NOT SIDE TO SIDE) I HAD TO APPLY THE BRAKES AND QUICKLY REDUCE SPEED TO KEEP FROM LOSING CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. UPON SOME RESEARCH WITH SIMILAR COMPLAINTS I WOULD BEST DESCRIBE MY EXPERIENCE AS ONE ASSOCIATED WITH THE "DEATH WOBBLE". THIS ISSUE HAS OCCURRED MORE THAN ONCE WHILE DRIVING AT SPEEDS AROUND 75 MPH. THE SHAKING WAS VIOLENT ENOUGH THAT IT SHOOK EVERYTHING OFF OF THE SEATS BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO STOP. THE SOURCE OF THE SHAKING I BELIEVE HAS TO DO WITH THE FRONT AXLE. I THOUGHT IT MAY BE A FAULTY TIRE OR UNBALANCED TIRE SO I HAD ALL OF THE TIRES INSPECTED, ROTATED, AND BALANCED. THERE WERE NO ISSUES FOUND WITH THE TIRES.

FIVE PIN TRAILER ELECTRICAL CONNECTION CORRODES W CAP COVER IN PLACE. THE TURN SIGNALS, HEAD LIGHTS, WIPERS, BRAKE LIGHTS, BACK UP LIGHTS, INTERIOR LIGHTS, DASH INSTRUMENTS WILL NOT OPERATE CORRECTLY. HEAD LIGHTS MAY NOT TURN OFF. DEALER CUT CONNECTION FIVE PIN OFF, PUT ELECTRICAL TAPE ON THE EXPOSED WIRE ENDS. WOULD HAVE REQUIRED TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE WIRE HARNESS. REPAIRED, THE CONNECTION WITH A NEW SPLICED 5 PIN CONNECTION PURCHASED FROM A LOCL HARDWARE STORE.

WHEN I ACTIVATE LEFT TURN SIGNAL THE RIGHT TURN SIGNAL ACTIVATES. WHEN I ACTIVATE THE RIGHT TURN SIGNAL IT OPERATES CORRECTLY. ALSO DOESN'T SEEM TO HAPPEN WHEN TILT STEERING IS IN UP POSITION ONLY WHEN TILT STEERING IS IN DOWN POSITION. ALSO WINDSHIELD WIPERS HAVE STOPPED WORKING MID ROTATION. THEN STARTED WORKING AGAIN IN A SHORT TIME PERIOD. I BELIEVE THESE PROBLEMS ARE RELATED.

WHILE TRAVELING ON THE FREEWAY AT NORMAL SPEED OF 65 MPH IN THE NUMBER 2 LANE, MY VEHICLE STARTED TO DEVELOP A DANGEROUS STEERING WOBBLE SENSATION. THE WOBBLE WAS SO VIOLENT AND UNCONTROLLABLE THAT I FEARED FOR MY SAFETY. I LET OFF THE GAS PEDAL AND APPLIED THE BRAKES AS MY HANDS WERE BEING ALMOST PULLED OFF OF THE STEERING WHEEL FROM THE FORCE OF THE WHEEL BEING JERKED BACK AND FORTH AGAINST MY WILL. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE TRUCK BACK UNDER CONTROL ONLY AFTER GETTING THE SPEED DOWN BELOW 40 MPH AND PULLING OVER. THE INCIDENT CAUSED AN AGGRAVATION TO AN EXISTING INJURY TO MY LEFT SHOULDER WHICH CAUSED ME GREAT PAIN FOR UP TO 1 WEEK. I INSPECTED THE VEHICLE THINKING I HAD RUN SOMETHING OVER OR SOMETHING HAD BROKEN FROM MY STEERING SYSTEM. BUT I FOUND NOTHING OUT OF PLACE. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT SET TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER ON FRIDAY JULY 31ST 2015 AT CERRITOS DODGE. THIS IS THE FOURTH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED TO MY TRUCK AND SCARED ME AND MY FAMILY WHILE DRIVING. MY TRUCK HAS ALWAYS MADE A "CLICK" NOISE WHILE TURNING AS WELL WITH NO ONE ABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE NOISE. I AM GETTING NERVOUS AND SCARED TO DRIVE MY TRUCK AT FREEWAY SPEEDS AT THIS POINT.

STEERING HAS HORRIBLE VIBRATION AND WOBBLE AT 19 MPH. SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE. HAVE ALREADY REPLACED TWO STEERING GEAR BOXES ON 2006 DODGE RAM 2500 DIESEL. STILL NOT FIXED. WITH RECENT NEWS ON DODGE RAMS; I AM SURPRISED THEY HAVE NOT LOOKED AT THIS MODEL YEARS AS WELL AS MANY MODEL YEARS ARE HAVING SAME ISSUE. BEGINNING TO BE NERVOUS DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND THE HISTORY OF THIS ISSUE WITH OTHER MODELS AND REALLY AFRAID THE SHAKING IS SO SERIOUS IT WILL EVENTUALLY CAUSE A WRECK OR LOSS OF LIFE. THIS IS THE 3RD REPORT FROM ME ALREADY. ALSO TAKEN IT TO DODGE SERVICE CENTER AND THEY JUST PEERED UNDER THE TRUCK AND SAID EVERYTHING WAS GOOD. DIDN'T EVEN ATTEMPT TO TEST DRIVE AND SEE FOR THEMSELVES. I HAVE EVEN ATTEMPTED TO NOTIFY DODGE CORPORATE LAST YEAR WHEN IT STARTED AND NOT EVEN A RETURN CALL OR MESSAGE. FEEL TRAPPED AND LOST. PLEASE LOOK AT THESE MODEL YEARS AS WELL. ALREADY HAD RECALL H46 CONDUCTED AND THEY JUST TOLD ME IT WAS NOT A PROBLEM. NOW I HAVE ANOTHER RECALL N62 AND NEVER GOT A NOTICE FOR IT; JUST HAPPEN TO LOOK UP RECALL NOTICE. VIN IS 1D&KS28C36J214020 I THINK THIS STEERING IS MORE WIDESPREAD AND WOULD WANT FURTHER INVESTIGATION. I AM GOING TO TAKE DODGE IN FOR N62 AND R25 RECALL AND I BET THE DEALERSHIP WILL JUST PEEK AT IT AND TELL ME NOTHING IS NEEDED, AS ALWAYS. NO MORE TRUST IN DODGE, PLEASE HELP

I AM STILL DRIVING MY TRUCK WITH THE DEFECTIVE BEARING AND SHAKY STEERING COLUMN. IT WAS NEVER REPAIRED WHILE UNDER WARRANTY DUE TO NO PARTS AVAILABLE. I WAS TOLD IT WAS DUE TO THE MONEY TROUBLE CHRYSLER WAS HAVING AND THE VENDERS WERE NOT GETTING PAID AND PARTS WERE NOT BEING MANUFACTURED. THIS WAS ALL DONE AT CERRITOS DODGE IN CALIFORNIA.

STARTED WITH TAIL LIGHTS ON RIGHT REAR SIDE NOT WORKING. REPLACED THE CIRCUIT BOARD FOR THE RIGHT REAR LIGHTS,REPLACED ALL THE BULBS ON THE CIRCUIT BOARD.
