Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2006 DODGE RAM 2500 THAT HAS A COUPLE ISSUES. THE LATEST IS NO LEFT LOW BEAM. THERE IS NO FUSE TO CHANGE EITHER. FROM MY RESEARCH, IT APPEARS THAT IT IS THE TIPM THAT WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED. THIS ALL HAPPENED AFTER PULLING MY TRAILER. DURING THAT TIME, MY ABS AND BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON AND. ALSO, I HAVE THE NOTORIOUS "DEATH WOBBLE." I HAVE SPENT OVER $4,000 ON STEERING COMPONENT REPAIRS, WHICH INCLUDE 3 GEAR BOXES AND 2 POWER STEERING PUMPS IN LESS THAN TWO YEARS, TIRE RODS, PITMAN ARM, ETC. I AM TAKING MY TRUCK BACK TO THE SHOP TOMORROW TO HAVE MY UJOINTS REPLACED, ALL NEW SHOCKS, AND THE ABS/BRAKE SENSOR REPLACED FOR $1,100. I GUESS MY NEXT REPAIR WILL BE THE TIPM TO FIX THE HEADLIGHT ISSUE AT WHAT I GATHER TO BE AROUND THE $1,000 MARK. WHEN WILL DODGE FIX THESE ISSUES? THE "DEATH WOBBLE" AND TIPM SEEM TO BE THE MOST COMMON COMPLAINT.
