Consumer Description
I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND ABOUT 10PM IT WAS RAINING HAD WIPERS ON IN MEDIUM SPEED WIPERS KEPT STOPPING. HAD A LOT OF CARS PASSING BY ME ON COMING LANE AND THEY WOULD FLASH THEIR LIGHTS TO ME TO INDICATE MY LIGHT WAS OFF BUT THE SWITCH IS TURN ON IN LOW BEAM POSITION. HAD SOME FRIENDS FOLLOWING ME THAT DAY AS WELL AND THEY TOLD ME THAT MY BRAKE LIGHT WAS NOT WORKING NOR MY LIGHTS.. THE FOLLOWING WEDNESDAY WHICH WOULD BE JULY 25 2012 I TOOK MY TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT FROM ,BUT ALL THE LIGHTS WORK EXCEPT FOR THE CARGO LIGHT AND THE LOW WINDSHIELD WIPER WARNING KEPT COMING ON.. THE TRUCK HAS BEEN IN THERE FOR A WEEK NOW AND ON WEDNESDAY AUGUST 1 2012 I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TO SEE WHAT IS WRONG WITH MY TRUCK AND THE SAID THE TIPM HAS BEEN FRIED AND ALL THE HEADLIGHTS, BRAKE LIGHTS, TURN SIGNALS AND WIPERS DOES NOT WORK ANY MORE THEY HAVE TO REPLACE THE TIPM. I ONLY HAD THE TRUCK FOR ONE WEEK AND THIS WENT OUT ALREADY. IT'S NOT GOOD DODGE OR CHRYSLER SHOULD COME UP WITH SOMETHING ELSE SO ALL THE SAFETY THINGS DON'T FAIL ALL AT ONCE. *TR
