Consumer Description

I OWN A 2006 DODGE RAM 2500 MEGACAB WITH 5.9 DIESEL ENGINE. THE AGENCY HAS RECEIVED THREE REPORTS OF IMPROPER TURN SIGNAL FUNCTION. THE COMPLAINANTS REPORT THAT MOVING THE TURN SIGNAL STALK TO SIGNAL A LEFT TURN CAN RESULT IN NO FLASHING OF THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL BUT IMPROPER FLASHING OF THE RIGHT TURN SIGNAL. LIKEWISE THE SAME OPPOSITE IMPROPER OPERATION OCCURS WHEN MOVING THE TURN SIGNAL STALK TO SIGNAL A RIGHT TURN. THE INCORRECT FLASHING SIGNAL APPEARS AT BOTH THE DASHBOARD INDICATOR LIGHT AND AT THE EXTERIOR FRONT AND REAR TURN SIGNAL LIGHTING POSITIONS. THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS RELATED TO THIS ISSUE ON THE WEB AND IT IS VERY DANGEROUS. PLEASE ADVISE. *KB
