Consumer Description

AFTER I BOUGHT MY 2016 RAM 1500 IN FEBRUARY 2019 I NOTICED MY HORN AND THE EVIC ON THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER STOPPED WORKING CAUSING ME NOT TO BE ABLE TO READ MY TPMS OR OIL LIFE OR ANY OTHER EVIC FUNCTIONS. ALSO WITH THE HORN NOT WORKING I FEEL IT'S A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS SAME ISSUE ON PREVIOUS YEAR MODELS. I HAVE NOTICED THAT THE LIGHTS ON THE EVIC AND CRUISE CONTROL SWITCHES DON'T ILLUMINATE EITHER. BY GOOGLING THE ISSUE IT SEEMS THERE ARE NUMEROUS OTHER RAM 1500 OWNERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. I FEEL THESE ARE ALL MAJOR SAFETY ISSUES AND SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED.
