EXTERIOR LIGHTING
MY TRUCK'S TURN SIGNAL HAS MALFUNCTIONED AND WHEN YOUR SIGNALING TO GO LEFT THE REAR LEFT TURN SIGNAL WOULD NOT ACTIVATE INCLUDING THE LEFT REAR FLASHERS. SEVERAL MONTHS AGO THE DEALER REFLASHED MY TIPM AND IT DID RESOLVED THE ISSUE TEMPORARILY. WHAT HAD HAPPENED WAS THAT THE SAME INCIDENT OCCURRED BUT INSTEAD WHEN ACTIVATING THE LEFT TURN SIGNALS IT WOULD START WORKING FOR A COUPLE SECONDS BEFORE JUMPING ACTIVATING THE OPPOSITE TURN SIGNAL (RIGHTSIDE) ALMOST CAUSING A NEAR COLLISION WITH OTHER VEHICLES OUT ON THE ROADWAYS. I AM VERY FRUSTRATED AND I DON'T HAVE $1,000.00 TO HAVE THE DEALER REPLACE MY TIPM WHICH I'VE FOUND VIA ONLINE ON SEVERAL DODGE FORUMS STATING THAT IT WILL DEFINITELY RECTIFY AND FIX THE ISSUE. *TR

WE WENT FOR A DRIVE TO MEDORA ND. WHERE WE SPENT THE NIGHT AND AFTER WE LEFT TO RETURN HOME ON HWY 94 WHEN I WAS PULLED OVER BY A STATE HIGHWAY PATROL. THE OFFICER SAID I HADN'T TURNED MY SIGNAL ON. I TOLD HER THAT I HAD AND WHILE SHE GETTING MY INFORMATION I WAS CHECKING OUT MY SIGNALS THEY WOULD WORK AND THEN THEY WOULDN'T THEN I TURNED ON THE LEFT SIGNAL AND THE RIGHT WOULD COME ON WHEN IT TURNED THE RIGHT THE RIGHT WORKED FINE. I TURNED THE FOUR WAY FLASHER THE LEFT SIGNAL WOULD COME ON. WEIRD. WHEN THE OFFICER CAME BACK TO THE TRUCK I TOLD HER THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH MY SIGNALS. SHE SAID THAT I SHOULD TAKE IN AND HAVE IT CHECKED OUT. SO I AM NOW WAITING TO GET IT INTO THE DODGE DEALERSHIP. THEY ARE REALLY MESSED UP NOTHING WORKS AS IT SHOULD. I HAVE NOTICED AFTER DOING A SEARCH THAT MANY DODGE PICKUPS HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. I HOPE THIS WILL HELP ENCOURAGE A RECALL FOR THIS VEHICLE. *TR
