NHTSA Complaint #10300089 — 2006 DODGE RAM 1500

THERE HAS BE A NUMBER OF OCCASIONS THIS HAS HAPPENED ABOUT PROBABLY 100 TIMES BUT PAID NOT MUCH ATTENTION UNTIL THIS WINTER. THE TURN SIGNAL LEVEL IS ALSO USED TO TURN ON THE WIPERS ON THE VEHICLE. THE PROBLEM ARISES WHEN THE VEHICLE LIGHTS ARE TURNED ON, THE WIPERS ARE ON, AND THE TURN SIGNAL ARE TURNED ON. FOR NO REASON THE TURN SIGNAL FROM THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE IS THE ONE THAT OPERATES. NORMALLY WHEN YOU ARE TURNING TO THE RIGHT THE TURN SIGNAL DOES NOT TURN ON AND THE LEFT SIDE SIGNAL TURN ON. IN ORDER TO ALLEVIATE THIS PROBLEM I HAVE TO TURN THE WIPERS OFF COMPLETELY. THIS CAUSES A PROBLEM BECAUSE THIS IMPAIRS VISIBILITY AN ALSO IS GIVING OTHER DRIVERS THE WRONG SIGNALS. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT CAUSED THIS ISSUE BUT SINCE I RESIDE IN THE STATE OF VIRGINIA IT IS A REQUIREMENT THAT WHEN IT RAINS YOU MUST TURN YOUR LIGHTS AND WIPERS THIS HAS CAUSED ME A PROBLEMS SINCE I DEPEND ON THIS VEHICLE AND WHEN IT SNOWS OR RAIN I CANNOT OPERATE THE VEHICLE. I AM TAKING THE VEHICLE TO THE DODGE DEALER TOMORROW TO SEE WHAT IS THE PROBLEM. I HAVE NOT CAUSED ANY ACCIDENTS. SOME DRIVERS HAD GOT AGGRAVATED SINCE SOME TIMES I GIVE THEM THE WRONG TURN SIGNALS. THE INCIDENTS HAVE OCCURRED MANY TIMES IN THE LAST 8 MONTHS AND I HAVE NOTED THAT IS GETTING MORE FREQUENT SINCE WE HAVE GOT MORE SNOW AND RAIN IN THE NORTH EAST I WHISH I CAN PROVIDE SPECIFIC DATED BUT IT HAS HAPPENED SO MANY TIMES THAT I GOT TIRED OF IT AND I AM TAKING THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER TOMORROW. I AM PUTTING TODAY AS THE MOST CURRENT DATE. *TR
