| The turn signal/wiper/lights assembly appears to have failed. when attempting to make a right turn signal, nothing happens. when making a left turn signal, the right signal happens instead. now, everything has failed. no brights, no turn signals, no wipers. researching on the internet, especially on the dodge truck forums, it seems to e quite a common problem. in fact that is where i got the link to this form to fill out. | |||

| Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6) i was driving my 2005 dodge 1500 truck in rain,wipers just stop working,then after a few minutes would start working again. it did not cause accident ,but could have if raining harder. now i don't want my spouse driving the truck with my little girl. the dealer says no recall on 2005,but there is a wiper recall on 2009. the dealer also said they have seen the problem many, many times, and have parts in stock to repair, but i will have to pay for repair. i've contacted chrysler and have a complaint [xxx] , all they told me was to have it repaired and keep invoice in case a recall is issued so i can be reimbursed. this is not acceptable to me. seems like someone has to die to get something done. thank you *tr | |||

| Driving at approximately 35 mph one of the defroster vents broke and fell into the ductwork. later that day noticed the dash had cracked. as this problem has just started on my truck i have seen from other dodge rams where this will progress and the dash will fall in, damaging wires and circuits. this is a potential fire hazard as well as possibly causing systems such as headlights, etc. to stop working when needed most. dodge informed me that if they looked at the dash, and i decided not to pay to fix the dash, they would charge me $85 for their time. that is not acceptable on so many levels. dodge should be forced to do something about this. *tr | |||
