Consumer Description

2006 DODGE RAM 2500. MULTIFUNCTION SWITCH FAILS WHEN NEEDED THE MOST. THIS ITEM CONTROLS THE WIPERS, TURN SIGNALS, HIGH/LOW BEAMS, AS WELL AS EMERGENCY FLASHERS. THIS WAS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM WHEN I FIRST REPORTED IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, AND SURPRISE SURPRISE IT DIDN'T FAIL AT THE DEALERSHIP. NOW AFTER MY STANDARD WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED IT HAS COMPLETELY FAILED. THERE WAS NO EVENTS LEADING UP TO THE FAILURE. THE DEALERSHIPS ARE NOW SAYING THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE, BUT SINCE THE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED, I NOW HAVE TO PAY FOR PARTS AS WELL AS LABOR FOR AN ITEM THAT CAUSES A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. IMAGINE DRIVING IN A DOWN POOR, AND THE SWITCH THAT CONTROLS YOUR WIPERS FAILS TO PERFORM. *TR
