Description of the problem | I have a dodge ram 15000 crew cab laramie. Both tail lights are malfunctioning in the blinkers. When i turn the blinker on it blinks really fast and says the tail lights are bad and need to be replaced. The lights in the back are half out when this happens. It does not happen all the time. I did see there was a recall, but for my vin there is not. So it appears all 2013s seem to be affected. I also have a ticking noise in my engine when i start the vehicle. It lessens as the car warms up. I noticed there was a recall in 2012 for bad exhaust manifolds. I believe this is still occurring on these vehicles. I have not repaired either of the items on my truck because i believe it is just malfunctioning. I don't recall how long its been occurring but at least for over a year. |
