MY 2008 DODGE RAM 1500 TRUCK IS HAVING ISSUES WITH THE TURN SIGNALS. MY TURN SIGNALS WORK 25% OF THE TIME AND 50% OF THE TIME THEY DO WORK, THEY ACTIVATE THE OPPOSITE SIDE (WRONG SIDE) I AM TRYING TO SELECT. I HAVE VISITED MANY INTERNET SITES THAT DISCUSS THIS PROBLEM, AND I HAVE FOUND THAT THIS ISSUE IS A MAJOR SAFETY PROBLEM THAT WILL LEAD TO ACCIDENTS. I FEEL THIS TURN SIGNAL PROBLEM SHOULD LEAD TO A CHRYSLER RECALL AS IT IS A DESIGN DEFECT. *TR
