THIS IS A COMPLAINT ABOUT A MALFUNCTIONING BLINKER IN MY 2006 DODGE 1500 RAM TRUCK. I HAVE BEEN READING THAT THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS HAPPENING. THE BLINKER STARTS GOING LEFT WHEN YOU HAVE IT TO TURN RIGHT AND VICE VERSA. IT'S CRAZY AND SO DANGEROUS! I TOOK MY TRUCK IN TO SEE ABOUT GETTING IT FIXED AND OF COURSE THE WARRANTY WENT OUT YESTERDAY! I HOPE FOR OTHERS SAKE THAT THIS BECOMES A RECALL ITEM! THANK YOU *TR

I TRIED TO GET THE SCISSORS JACK FROM UNDER THE PASSENGER SEAT. THE HANDLED SCREW THAT SCREWS IT TO THE FLOOR WOULD NOT TURN AND THE JACK COULDN'T BE REMOVED. I TRIED TO CLEAN THE THREADS THAT PROTRUDE THROUGH THE TRUCK'S FLOOR, TO NO AVAIL (FINE THREADS). AFTER REMOVING IT LATER WITH PLIERS, I RAN A THREAD DIE OVER IT, REINSTALLED IT, AND PAINTED IT. *TR

BOUGHT 2006 DODGE RAM 1500 NEW FROM METRO DODGE IN OTTAWA. HAVE HAD NUMEROUS FRONT END TROUBLES. BRAKES,3SETS OF FRONT SHOCKS,WHEEL BEARINGS,OUTER TIE ROD ENDS REPLACED ONCE AT 22000KM`S. TIE ROD ENDS ON STREEING ARE DEFECTIVE AGAIN. DODGE WANTS TO INSPECT & CHARGE FOR OUTER RIE ROD ENDS AFTER 42000KMS ON SECOND SET. CHECKING USED 2006,2007 & 2008 IN DODGE DEALER LOTS OUTER TIE RODS HAVE BEEN REPLACED ON TRUCKS IN LOT. I FEEL DODGE IS COVERING UP A DEFECTIVE DESIGN & PART TROUBLES ON ALL 3 YEARS. METRO DODGE TOLD ME TO NEVER BRING MY TRUCK BACK FOR SERVICE. THE SERVICE MANAGER DENIES THAT THESE YEARS OF TRUCKS HAVE DEFECTIVE FRONT END PARTS & DESIGN. PLEASE INVESTIGATE BEFORE A MAJOR COLLISION WITH THIS VEHICLE. *TR THANK YOU, STEVE MOORE
