My 2006 dodge ram truck turns on the wrong turn signal, for instance if i am making a right turn and i push the stalk up, the left turn signal turns on. this is an intermittent problem and sometimes my turn signals work and sometimes they do not. i also have the related problem that i have no control over my windshield wipers. when i turn them on, they will stay on for minutes at a time on a high speed and not turn off. other times they will only go one or two times and shut off completely while it is pouring rain. | |||

While driving towards flagstaff at night in the rain, the wipers went off. after i pressed the wash control, the wiper function, washed the window and wiped it enough to allow us to pull over. the wipers continued to work sporatically allowing us to creep to town for the night. now, they do not work at all and we are waiting for the repair service to obtain back ordered parts. this was very dangerous and we were fortunate to have avoided a serious accident. surely this function is a safety issue. | |||

The problem started a few months ago, but i thought it had corrected itself. the past few weeks it has been a constant problem and will not stop. when turning the wipers on mist, they do not work. i have to switch it to the next setting to make them move. the blinkers are either working intermittently or not at all. when turning left, the right one comes one, both flash and stop or it will switch from one to the other. the same thing happens when turning right. turning on the brights does not work either. it makes the washer fluid and wipers work. | |||

Currently my dodge ram 1500 is having a problem with the multifunction turn signal. if you try to signal a turn the wrong blinker comes on, if you try to turn your high beams on or off the washer fluid comes on, if you try to turn the windshield wipers on they rarely work often getting stuck in the intermittent phase. i first found this problem when my windshield wipers would not come on in a flash thunderstorm while i was traveling on a highway at 65 mph. this is going to cause an accident, if you look there are too many people having this same problem for dodge to ignore it. if an accident occurs i will be taking any legal actions i can to make dodge liable, i just hope that nobody is hurt or killed before it is too late. |
