Consumer Description

HAVE DONE RESEARCH ONLINE AND FOUND OUT THAT THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM IN DODGE RAM TRUCKS, 1500, 2500 AND 3500. THIS IS A SEVERE PROBLEM AND COULD CAUSE THE WHOLE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM TO GO OUT WHILE DRIVING THESE TRUCKS. THIS HAS BEEN DOCUMENTED IN POSTS ONLINE. THESE TRUCKS SHOULD BE RECALLED BEFORE A SERIOUS ACCIDENTS HAPPENS WITH THE OWNERS OF THESE TRUCKS. THIS IS MY COLLEGE STUDENT SON'S TRUCK AND I AM VERY CONCERNED FOR HIS SAFETY IN THIS TRUCK. THESE MODELS SHOULD DEFINITELY BE RECALLED BY DODGE AND THE DASHBOARDS REPLACED AT NO COST. *TR
