Consumer Description

AS I'M DRIVING, ALL OF THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS ON MY DASH SHUT DOWN AND THEN COME BACK ON ONE AT A TIME WITHIN A MINUTE. MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THE PROBLEM IS RELATED TO THE GAUGE CLUSTER AND AFTER A LITTLE SEARCHING ON THE INTERNET, IT IS A WELL-KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE 2013 RAMS. THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN HAPPENING RANDOMLY SINCE I BOUGHT THE TRUCK IN 2015 AND CAN NOT BE REPLICATED ON COMMAND. SOMETIMES I CAN GO A COUPLE OF MONTHS WITH NO PROBLEM; AT OTHER TIMES, IT OCCURS 2-3 TIMES A WEEK. SO FAR, IT HASN'T AFFECTED THE OPERATION OF MY TRUCK, BUT THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY RISK SHOULD THEY DECIDE NOT TO COME BACK ON AT SOME POINT.
