| EXTERIOR LIGHTING | |||

| I have a 2001 dodge ram 1500 ext cab that i bought new from the dealership. at 42,000mi the dash had a crack in the center. i took it back to the dealership but they said it was out of warranty and to use something with uv protection. at 101,000mi the front speakers went out. now my dash is missing big pieces. i was driving down the road last month and hit a bump in the road. a piece of dash flew up and hit my wife in the forehead. she will no longer let the grandchildren ride in my truck. she is afraid the air bag will go off or a piece of dash will hit them in the eye. now the front lights have blinked on and off 2 or 3 times on seprate occasion. i've called dodge and they sent me to a service center. they agreed to replace the dash, instrument cover and glove box all which have cracked. but now i have to pay 580.00$. my tax dollars bailed them out and now i have to pay for their defected parts? this is a danger to drivers. | |||
| EXTERIOR LIGHTING - HEADLIGHTS - HIGH/LOW BEAM DIMMER SWITCH | |||

| When switching from high beams to low beams i lost my headlights - and this is apparently a very big problem with these vehicles. this is a huge safety problem. i have to quickly switch back and forth many many times to regain my lights. as i understand this is the multi-function switch in the steering column...this is a 2001 dodge 2500 4x4, quad cab, diesel pickup. i belong to a website for these trucks and it is a common complaint!*ak | |||
