The room fcm power distribution module corrodes and causes electrical problems. Headlights can go out while driving, taillights, break lights etc. There is many complaints on the web about this issue and dodge has not fixed the problem. I was driving at night and my headlights went completely out. Luckily I was able to avoid any accident and come to a controlled stop. If I had been on a curve I would have lost sight of the road. This is a well known issue among dodge trucks. This is a safety recall as it can cause an accident and death.

THE TRUCK WITH ATTACHED TRAILER WAS PARKED ON AN INCLINED DRIVEWAY. THE TRUCK WAS PLACED IN PARK AND THE KEY WAS REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION. I PROCEEDED TO LOAD A COMPACT TRACTOR APPROXIMATELY 2500 LBS. THE TRUCK STARTED TO ROLL DOWN THE HILL AND CRASHED THRU A FENCE DOING EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO THE TRUCK. I DID NOT TRY TO START THE TRUCK AND WAITED FOR MECHANIC TO ASSESS ANY MECHANICAL DAMAGE. THE MECHANIC CAME TO MY PLACE AND WHEN HE GOT IN THE TRUCK THE TRANSMISSION INDICATED THAT IT WAS STILL IN PARK. DODGE TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THIS TYPE VEHICLE WITH THE TRANSMISSION NOT HOLDING. THE REPRESENTATIVE TOLD ME THAT THERE HAD BEEN SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH GAS POWERED ENGINES BUT NOT THE DIESEL. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THIS CAN BE EVALUATED FOR RECALL. NO ONE GOT HURT IN THIS INSTANCE BUT CAUSED EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO THE TRUCK MECHANICALLY AND COSMETICALLY.
