Consumer Description

I OWN A 1997 DODGE RAM 1500 4 WD PICKUP. I HAVE HAD IT FOR 3 YEARS AND HAVE HAD NUMEROUS PROBLEMS WITH THE HEAD LIGHTS CUTTING ON AND OFF, AND THEN GOING OFF AND NOT COMING BACK ON. I SPENT SEVERAL HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS TO HAVE THE PROBLEM FIXED, BUT IT STILL DOES IT. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY MECHANICS THAT DO THIS TYPE OF WORK FOR A LIVING THAT THIS IS A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT IN THE WIRING SOMEWHERE. AND THAT THERE ARE SEVERAL VEHICLES( DODGE TRUCKS) WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM. I BELIEVE THAT DODGE NEEDS TO PUT OUT A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE AND GOT THE PROBLEM RESOLVED. I LIKE MANY PEOPLE TAKE MY CHANCES HAVING TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. *TR
