Consumer Description

ESP/BAS WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON WHILE WAITING IN THE GAS LINES. THE TRUCK FISH TAILS / SKIDS MORE FREQUENTLY ON SLICK / RAIN ROADS. THE LIGHTS DID NOT GO OUT AFTER CHECKING FLUID LEVELS, ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS, ETC. IT APPEARS TO BE A COMMON OCCURRENCE FOR RAM 1500SLT TRUCKS AFTER DOING AN INTERNET SEARCH ON THE CONDITION. I HAVE NOT CONTACTED THE DEALER YET IN HOPES OF THE CONDITION CORRECTING ITSELF, BUT WILL SHORTLY. ALSO, IT APPEARS TO BE THE BEGINNING OF RUST IN THE REAR BODY / TOW FRAME OF THE TRUCK AFTER LESS THAN FOUR YEARS. *TR
