problem #1

Ram 1500 4WD 8-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 46,874 miles
First there was an intermittant failure of brake lights then one failed completly and the other failed the following day. I had a close call (rear ended)when I took it to the dealer they knew right away what was wrong, and replaced tail light tree componet, that fixed the problem. The dealer was aware of this and had told me theyhad alot of them failing, iwas out of warranty and was charged full price for diagnostic and replacement parts etc. I was unhappy with the way they treated this safety problem.
