2010 DODGE RAM 2500 Complaints

ORIGINAL TIPM FAILED AT 151000 MILES CAUSING FRONT TURNING SIGNALS TO MALFUNCTION. THE TIPM CONTROLS ALL ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS AND SENSORS THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE VEHICLE INCLUDING FUEL PUMPS AND AIR BAGS. I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE ON A CITY STREET WHEN AN ALARM DISPLAYED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL NOTING A FRONT RIGHT TURN SIGNAL LAMP NEEDS REPLACEMENT. I REPLACED THE BULB PER REPLACEMENT BULB NUMBER SPECIFIED IN THE OWNERS MANUAL. ALSO, REPLACED THE TURN SIGNAL MULTI SWITCH WHICH BOTH ITEMS DID NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE. MADE THE DECISION TO HAVE A CERTIFIED MECHANIC TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM.

I WAS ABOUT TO GO ON A ELK HUNTING TRIP IN WYOMING AND MY MODE SELECTOR DOOR GOT STUCK BLOWING ONLY ON THE FLOOR. MY WINDOWS WOULDNT DEFROST BECAUSE THERE WAS NO HOT AIR WOULD COME OUT OF DEFROST VENTS. LUCKILY IM A DIESEL TECHNICIAN BY TRADE AND HAVE THE ABILITY TO REPAIR PROBLEM. I REPLACED MODE DOOR AND PROBLEM WAS RESOLVED. AFTER READING ONLINE I FOUND OUT THAT THIS IS A VERRY COMMON PROBLEM.

I WAS ISSUES A RECALL NOTIFICATION THAT MY YEAR MAKE AND MODEL COULD POP OUT OF PARK AND GO INTO NEUTRAL RESULTING IN THE VEHICLE NOT BEING SAFE. I CONTACTED THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND THEY ASSURED ME THE PART WAS IN. I WENT AND AFTER 2 HOURS WAS TOLD THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE PART. THEY SAID THEY WOULD CALL ME WHEN THE PART WAS IN. I NEVER HEARD BACK FROM THEM. IF THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE I WOULD THINK THIS MIGHT BE IMPORTANT?
