| I was driving down the highway and about 10pm it was rainning had wipers on in medium speed wipers kept stopping. had a lot of cars passing by me on on comming lane and they would flash their lights to me to indicate my light was off but the switch is turn on in low beam position. had some friends following me that day as well and they told me that my brake light was not working nor my lights.. the following wednesday which would be july 25 2012 i took my truck to the dealership i bought from ,but all the lights work except for the cargo light and the low windshield wiper warning kept comming on.. the truck has been in there for a week now and on wednesday august 1 2012 i called the dealership to see what is wrong with my truck and the said the tipm has been fried and all the headlights, brake lights, turn signals and wipers does not work any more they have to replace the tipm. i only had the truck for one week and this went out already. it's not good dodge or chrysler should come up with something else so all the safety things don't fail all at once. ## vin passed ## dodge ram 2500 2008 ## *tr | |||

| I purchased a new dodge ram 2500 pick-up in march 2008. within 5 weeks, vehicle started operating poorly. check engine light would come on, truck would lose power, heavy black smoke from exhauste. truck was brought back to dealership 8 times in first six months. dodge stated they could find no problems with vehicle. problems continues and escalated. truck continues to operate erratically. it has come to the point the vehicle loses all power and just shuts down while driving on the highway. this has occurred six times btween november 2009 and december 2010. this is a seriouse safety issue! the truck has lost power and stopped on the i95 and i narrowly missed being hit by tractor trailors. dodge still refused to take this vehicle back or even acknowledge there is a serious safety problem!! need your help to get dodge to do something to investigate and correct problem before someone is hurt or killed. | |||
