Description of the problem | Tl* the contact owns a 2017 ram 1500. The contact stated that rear seats were drenched with water, which caused a foul odor inside the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to multiple unknown independent mechanics where the contact was informed that the seal on the third brake light was fractured and needed to be replaced. The failure caused water to enter the vehicle. After the vehicle was repaired, the "rear brake light out" and "key fob left the vehicle" warning messages illuminated. The vehicle was taken to another independent mechanic where the contact was informed that the third brake light was inoperable. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failures. The failure mileage was 26,320. |
