Consumer Description

WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE, THE HEADLIGHTS BLINK (AS IF YOU ARE ON A BUMPY ROAD). TOOK TO MACK GRUBBS/COLUMBIA, MS FOR A RECALL ISSUE AND HAD THEM TO LOOK AT LIGHTS. THEY TOLD ME THEY SEE THAT IN A LOT OF THOSE MODEL TRUCKS. I PICKED UP MY TRUCK FROM THE RECALL REPAIR AND WAS INFORMED I OWED $40 FOR DIAGNOSIS OF THE HEAD LIGHT ISSUE AND THAT IT WOULD BE $180 PLUS TAX AND LABOR TO REPAIR THE PASSENGER SIDE AND THE SAME TO REPAIR THE DRIVER SIDE. THAT IS WAS A WIRING HARNESS ISSUE. THE SERVICE MAN TOLD ME AND MY HUSBAND THAT THE IS VERY COMMON IN THE RAM TRUCKS. 1) THAT SHOULD MEAN A RECALL. 2) OUR TRUCK WAS IN OUR POSSESSION EXACTLY 2 YEARS, 1 DAY WHEN WE DROPPED IT OFF FOR THE RECALL ISSUE TO BE FIXED (WHICH WAS ABOUT A WEEK AFTER I HAD THEM TO DIAGNOS THE CHECK ENGINE/LIGHTS AND WAS TOLD OF A RECALL AND SET UP THE APPT). 3) WE PURCHASED AN ELECTRICAL INSURANCE AT TIME OF VEHICLE PURCHASE. I DO NOT RECCOMMEND THIS VEHICLE TO ANYONE! THE LIGHTS BLINKING ON/OFF AS YOU ARE DRIVING MAKES ONCOMING TRAFFIC BLINK THEIR LIGHTS OR THINK YOU ARE TRYING TO STOP THEM. NOT SAFE AT ALL.
