ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
HEAD LIGHTS GO OUT WHEN DRIVING OR SOMETIMES FLICKERS ON/OFF WHEN DRIVING, TRACED WIRING AND NOTICED THAT WIRING WAS BURNT AT PIG TAIL CONNECTOR WHICH IS THE HEAD LIGHT SWITCH AT THE PART CALLED BEZEL... NEVER HAD ANY TROUBLE WITH IT UNTIL THIS YEAR AND COULDN'T UNDERSTAND WHY WIRE BURNT, THE PLASTIC/BEZEL MELTED FIRST RATHER THAN FUSE TRIPPING. THIS OCCURS WHEN DRIVING ANYWHERE BUT IT OCCURRED FIRST WHEN I WAS HEADED TO WORK AT 3AM IN HIGHWAY 74 WHICH IS MOUNTAINOUS AND VERY CURVY ROAD... EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. I BELIEVE THIS IS A DEFECTIVE PART AND IS SAFETY RISK.

STRUCTURE:BODY, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MY 2009 DODGE RAM 1500 GAS TANK ALMOST FELL OUT CAUSING ALMOST AN EXPLOSION OF TANK. REASON: THE TANK IS HELD IN BY TWO METAL STRAPS ONE SIDE IS ATTACH TO A FRAME BOLT THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STRAP IS A T SHAPE THAT SLIDES INTO A T SLOT IN THE FRAME NOW WHAT HAPPEN IS THE T SECTION PULLED RIGHT THROUGH THE FRAME CAUSING THE TANK TO DROP ALMOST TO THE ROAD THE REMAINDER OF THE STRAP WAS HITTING THE DRIVESHAFT CAUSING SPARKS IF THE PLASTIC TANK HIT THE GROUND IT COULD EXPLODE. DODGE REP HAD MENTION TO ME THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE. SO I THINK THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE...UPDATED 08/07/17 *BF *CN
