EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I'VE RECENTLY BOUGHT THIS TRUCK JUST ABOUT HAD IT 90 DAYS IN THE THREE MONTHS I'VE HAD THIS VEHICLE I'VE NOTICED BOTH HEAD LIGHTS WILL GO OUT AT RANDOM WHILE DRIVING, SITTING STILL OR TURNING. I'VE REPLACED THE BULBS 4 TIMES TO NO AVAIL, IT APPEARS AFTER SOME RESEARCH THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE 2500 TRUCKS. AFTER SPENDING HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS I AM COURIOUS AS TO WHY CHRYSLER HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL. I FOR ONE FEEL THIS ISSUE IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE IGNITION SWITCH IS FAULTY! THE SWITCH MUST BE MOVED AROUND IN THE SWITCH TO START THE TRUCK. ADDITIONALLY WHILE DRIVING THE TRUCK MAY JUST QUITE RUNNING, THIS CAUSES THE POWER STEERING AND BRAKES TO BECOME MANUAL. THIS BECOMES VERY DANGEROUS WHEN HAULING LOADS AS STOPPING DISTANCES ARE GREATLY INCREASED, NOT TO MENTION NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO STEER. IF YOU ARE GOING AROUND A CORNER WHEN THIS HAPPENS YOU MAY NOT MAKE THE CORNER RESULTING IN A COLLISION WITH ONCOMING VEHICLES. THIS IGNITION SWITCH FAILURE IS COMMON IN THIS YEAR OF RAM TRUCK IT DOESN'T SEEM TO MATTER IF YOUR DRIVING OR SETTING AT A LIGHT THE TRUCK QUITS RUNNING AND MAY NOT BE ABLE TO RESTART WITHOUT REPLACING OR REPAIRING THE SWITCH. SO FAR FIAT CHRYSLER HAS NOT DONE ANYTHING TO FIX THE DESIGN, IT APPEARS THEY ARE HAPPY COLLECTING THE $300 + DOLLARS TO REPLACE THE SWITCH JUST TO HAVE THEM GO OUT AGAIN IN LESS THAN A YEAR. JUST LOOK AT THE INTERNET, MANY ISSUES. THIS IS DEFIANTLY A SAFTY HAZARD AND SHOULD BE A RECALL ITEM. *DT*JB
