| Took truck to dealer because the headlights, taillights were going on and off intermitently whether the light switch was on of off and the key was in the run position (started or not) and windshield wipers would turn off when this happens. i about had a terrible accident when i found out the wipers quit working, imagine that! took my 2002 dodge ram 4x4, 3.7l quad cab sport to dealer and they said it was the pdc (power distribution center (fuse box)) that they are prone to corrosion and they have replaced many of them. why no recall when many lives are at stake here and so many problems with these found? could have been me, and i have 3 children that depend on me, so chrysler own up to it and do the right thing. | |||

| Headlights, wipers, and turn signals do not work properly on my 2002 dodge ram pickup. headlights switched to high beam, will not switch to low beam and vice a versa. wipers will not go to steady wiping, or fast wiping sporadically. turn signals will signal 'right turn' when i switch the lever for a 'left turn', and vice a versa, and sometimes they will not work at all. there has been no accidents yet, and i have refrained from driving at night or when it is raining if possible. | |||

| Currently own a 2002 dodge ram quad cab. i have had numerous problems with my truck. i myself have also experienced the same problems with the transmission jerking as well as the vehicle completely shutting off when idling (and not even at long periods of time). at times when putting into reverse, the vehicle will not move at all and i have to completely shut off the truck and restart it to get it to move. i haven't had it reported at the dealer yet because they will be unable to duplicate. just noticed a problem with my rear taillights. at different times, different bulbs would seem to go out causing the lamp out indicator lamp to illuminate. when i went to change the bulb myself (cause bulbs are not warranty), i found that the sockets were causing the bulb housing to melt inside the sockets as well as on the bulbs. i took it to the dealer and they only replaced one side because the other they did not have in stock, yet they did not even bother ordering the other side. i have already had my rack & pinion replaced because it was leaking and also have had to have my tcm and pcm reprogramed because they were causing my check engine light to come on as well as making my air conditioning inoperative. *ak | |||

| While attempting to make a left hand turn with the directional signal activated, several vehicles attempted to pass on my left. to my dismay i discovered that the directional indicator was signaling a right turn while in the left activated position. this has happened several times. dealer cannot reproduce problem, so no action is taken. the problem has progressed to now i can change the directional from left to right by raising or lowering the tilt steering wheel when the signal indicator is activated. some times it just does not go on at all. *tr | |||
