Description of the problem | When driving the vehicle, the headlights blink (as if you are on a bumpy road). Took to mack grubbs/columbia, ms for a recall issue and had them to look at lights. They told me they see that in a lot of those model trucks. I picked up my truck from the recall repair and was informed i owed $40 for diagnosis of the head light issue and that it would be $180 plus tax and labor to repair the passenger side and the same to repair the driver side. That is was a wiring harness issue. The service man told me and my husband that the is very common in the ram trucks. 1) that should mean a recall. 2) our truck was in our possession exactly 2 years, 1 day when we dropped it off for the recall issue to be fixed (which was about a week after i had them to diagnos the check engine/lights and was told of a recall and set up the appt). 3) we purchased an electrical insurance at time of vehicle purchase. I do not reccommend this vehicle to anyone! The lights blinking on/off as you are driving makes oncoming traffic blink their lights or think you are trying to stop them. Not safe at all. |
