Sorry guys and gals but I have to VENT!

A few months ago the "light outage indicator" illuminated. After looking at the lights I determined that the right rear tail/brake light was burnt. I went to the dealership and ordered a new tail light as they had none in stock. After a couple of days I replaced it and was pleasantly surprised when I was only charged $3.21. Ever since then, the indicator would come on everytime you pressed on the brake peddle. The manual says that if a tail light is out, it will come on when you press the brake and stay on. Well, it would go off when you took your foot off the brake. Hummm... I looked several times at all the lights from the glovebox to the hood and could never find an error. Inspection time is this month so I decided I had better get on the stick and find the defective light because the peoples republic of NJ would fail me for the indicator. I went back to the dealership and ordered another one. Once again they had none in stock so I figured they must have given me an incorrect one because since there are not a lot of crossfires out there they couldn't have sold the last batch they ordered. I got tired of waiting so I go down to the local Manny, Moe, and Jacks and get a pack of 2 cheap'os. Much to my surprise but the one the dealership gave me was a single filament and I needed a double (of course, tail and brake) but dummy me I never questioned the first bulb from the dealer and even worse, when the new bulb came in, it also was single.

I have owned Chrysler/Dodge/Plymouth all my life and loved them but I can't put up with these incompetent dealers and their unwillingness to service their own products.

Whew! Thanks, I feel better now.

P.S. Funny thing is the cruise control worked when the lights were off, but when you turned them on, it would not work. When you turned the lights on, the indicator would illuminate and remain on until you shut off the car.
