Takata recall,i was told that the recall was invalid and if i had not received a notice directly from the car manufacturer then the dealership would not replace my parts. Another location asked for the vin number, i had to call back but they continuously put me on hold but then never picked up. I haven't had an incident, but to my knowledge this information and repair is supposed to be preventative. I'd rather not have to sue for money after i've been injured if it's not necessary. I just want my vehicle repaired.

Takata recall.contacted local dealer about 3-4 weeks ago to make an appointment and was told that there were 63 persons ahead of me. The dealer took my name and phone number and said they would contact me when it was my turn. I stopped in at the dealer this date to check on my status and to get a better idea of how much longer it would take and it was discovered they did not have me on their list. They took my information again and the service representative told me they were only getting 6 replacement bags at a time about every week or ten days or so. My concern is that it could take up to two months for me to get my vehicle corrected. Considering the potential hazards associated with this recall, i do not feel this is a reasonable timeframe for this to be corrected. The airbag warning light on my instrument cluster has been on now for several months and before i even received this recall notice. When i brought it into the dealer to have it checked out, they did not know what the problem was.

I have tried on many times too arrigo dodge in west palm beach ,floridatoo complete the safety recall .they have refused too address the issues with this truck . I have complained to the dodge motor division more times than a few ,they turn a blind-eye to the dealership . This truck was a lemon from the show-room floor ,i have replaced the computer , emissions system ,fuel injection system , wiring harness , and many more repairs .the brake system is very dangerous ,someone is going too get a serious injury from this issue. The truck also suffers from sudden acceleration, at any given time . I have called the chrysler rep countless times , and they have a care less attitude ,i voiced my opinion on the chat line ,and...they were quite amusedat the possibility of a crash or injury . I want a complete investigation of the dealership ,the factory , and bring in the department of justice on these criminal activities ! please do something soon , this is a matter of life and death !

Called to set an appointment to have the p80 / nhtsa14v-795 recall repaired done on my 2006 dodge ram 1500.set to drop off my vehicle at 8:30 am on 4/1/2015 at chris nikel chrysler, dodge, jeep (2920 n aspen ave broken arrow, ok 74012918-355-5000).i left my truck with them and i called back this afternoon to check the status on it. They stated that they would need it for another 3 days to complete the work.i had an appointment with a 1 day promise and now its a 3-4 day job.classic way of getting out from doing the job.i am a single father that cannot go 4 days without my truck.very unprofessional and deceptive business practices.me and my kids safety remains at risk because the recalls don't produce enough revenue for the dealership to remain a priority.
Takata recall, this recall was issued on july 1 of 2016. As of today there is still no replacement parts for this recall according to safercar.gov. This is ridiculous. This is at least the second recall since i've owned this truck that i've had to wait more than 3 months for parts to fix a potentially life threatening incident. I understand that by letting the public know that there's a potential life threatening problem mopar is "covering their butt", but if they fail to get parts out in a timely manner i feel they should still be held liable if something happens. There's no excuse for not getting replacement parts out faster than they do.

Takata inflator - this recall was issued on may 24th, 2016. I am not satisfied that a solution is not offered and new parts not installed. We use this vehicle daily and for my children to still be at risk of injury or even death appalls me that this is close to a year and no resolution.i am thankful we did not have an accident yet but this should not be just a complaint for after the fact. We need this resolved before someone is hurt or killed and at that point a it wont just be an informal complaint but a full fledged law suit.

Takata recalldodge has not completed the recall repair on our dodge ram because they say they do not have the part & do not know when they will get the part. We are constantly getting urgent calls telling us to schedule an appointment with our local dodge dealer. Our local dealer tells us they don't have the part & they tell us that they will call us when they have the part. We have contacted chrysler in an email & they say the same thing. Meanwhile we have to drive with fear, knowing that this defective part has killed people, it is scary. We are reaching out because this is wrong & no one else should lose their life or suffer injury. Our local dodge & chrysler have not offered any other remedy, yet they constantly call telling us how urgent this recall is & how important it is for us to get it repaired. It is nonsense & it is negligent on their part. I hope you can help all of us who are facing this gigantic problem.

Takata recall i was notified by safety recall notice s43/nhtsa 16v-352 and registered the vehicle on july 15, 2015 as instructed and haven't been contacted since to have vehicle repaired. Local dodge dealers have no information on the recall and will not repair the vehicle. What type of scam is this?must i be killed or injured before something is done.

I was in an accident on feb 11 at 7:00 am. I went off the road to the right taking out a mailbox, a couple of trees, side swiped a telephone pole before coming to rest up against a tree. When the truck finally came to a rest against a tree, the airbag did not deploy, because of the final impact of the tree i washit the steering wheel hard enough to bend it. The mounting of the airbag sensors are mounted on a frame rail which has rubber mount from the brace to the frame which would absorb the most of the impact. From a closer inspection of the impact zone i noticed the frame mount was bent where the mount was bolted. I was told by an inspector, that came out to look at my truck for the airbags, the insurance companies are putting pressure on the auto makers which make it harder for the airbags to deploy. It all comes down to insurance companies paying less on claims at our safety. The sensors were designed to help and did at one time but if you keep listening to outside sources instead of the consumer your creditability will be ruined.i am actually scared for my family to ride in this truck, knowing that the srs is not as safe as i was led to believe.the sensors need to be in a more solid position.rubber mounts absorb more of the impact than it should have needed to.
Dt*: the contact stated that the nhtsa notices for recall #06v353000, which pertains to the air bags, and recall # 06v354000, which pertains to the seat belts were received.four service dealers were contacted, who stated that the parts were not available.the manufacturer was also notified.the contact expressed a concern that the manufacturer took 3 months to notify the customers of the recall.
I have 3 safety recalls for my 2006 dodge ram 1500. I have called union dodge in garden grove,ca, where i purchased the auto, 3 times to schedule appointments to fix the problems. Each time i have been told that a part for one of the repairs is not in stock but that when the parts come ini will receive a call back.i'm still waiting for that call back?of course the letter and call i did get from union dodge was asking me to rate their service as top notch so they can get the 5 star award from chrysler!! i'm done dealing with union dodge but would still like my 3 safety recall items fixed.any advice or help is greatly appreciated.

The turn signal multiswitch malfunctions constantly. Sometimes both signals flash when your turning one way other times it is just the opposite side flashes. This is a major saftey issue that chrysler should have to recall. It could very easily cause an accident if another driver thinks you are turning the opposite way than you are going to turn. Needs a recall, many blogs on line talking about this!

Turn signals fail to work completely, or right turn signal will activate while using left signal or vise-versa. Headlights will fail while this "multi-function switch" shorts out. No wipers, no turn signals, no lights.
It started with the rear passenger window not working, then the locks, then all the windows.they work intermittently however it's becoming more of an issue than not.my truck goes through lamps quickly i replace a headlight at least 2 times a year and several reverse lights over the last 2 years.most recently i noticed the integrated controls on the steering wheel don't t work or work inappropriately. I can no longer turn my radio off with the push of a button.as of last week the interior lights shut off abruptly and don't work with one of my doors. It appears it is just getting worse and worse.

I own a 2006 dodge ram quad cab 1500 4x4 that has been having repeated problems with the multi-function switch that controls the wipers and the turn signals.several times while driving in the rain this issue has happened to were i have had my children in the truck with me and had to pull off the road because of not being able to see because of the wipers not working and in doing so drove into the median causing me to puncture the left front tire.i had to do this because i didn't want to have or cause an accident.my vehicle has been in the shop twice over this problem and it still isn't fixed.what does it take to get something done about this!there has been several, and i mean several complaints over this same part.does it take someone being killed or seriously injured before someone is held liable.i spent several thousand dollars on this truck, along with an extended warranty, but there is no price tag for loss of life do to someone not being held accountable for their equipment.please, we need something done to remedy this problem that millions of dodge owners are being forced to deal with.please don't let loss of life be the reason for a change because then it's too late.
2006 dodge ram 1500. Vehicle would shut down while driving. Engine would crank but not turn over. Mechanic had to tear into engine to find the problem.rods bent, valve sticking, timing chain jump.basically the engine was shot.repair cost $3,000.00.it appears that a lot of other people have the same problem and it cannot be diagnosed without tearing into the engine.also turn signal would blink opposite of where turning.dodge needs to do something about this.these are safety issues!i would like to be reimbursed my costs.mileage on vehicle:158,000.interesting enough, i have a 2001 dodge ram that has over 307,000 miles on it and never had this problem.

I have a 2006 dodge 1500 and my blinkers and my windshield wipers are not working properly. When i signal to turn left the right blinker comes on. And the windshield wipers on low start going really fast. This is very frustrating. It started at about 69,000 miles.
I have a 2006 dodge ram 1500 quad cab truck.i have had this problem since shortly after i purchased the truck.the turn signals and the wipers intermittently do not work.also, if i put on the left turn signal the right one goes on most of the time.from research i have done this is due to a faulty multi function switch that controls the turn signals, wipers and hazard lights.the dealer has replaced this switch twice under warranty and will not replace it now that it is out of warranty.this is a real safety hazard especially when the wipers stop working driving in the rain.i have researched this problem and there are thousands of posts on the internet with people having the same problems.there needs to be a recall for this.it is a real safety issue that needs to be fixed.

Dodge is aware of this issue.they have updated the part and there are many customer paid repairs.the control box for the heating and a/c system is defective and breaks at the blend door.when this happens, the blend door no longer works and it disables the defroster and a/c.on cool or cold days, the windshield can suddenly fog up and there is no way to clear the view as air does not blow in that direction.on hot days, the system can not push air out enough to keep the driver from excessive heat.the part number is 68004226ac.this part has been supersession chain of about 4 other numbers as dodge corrected design flaws over the years.i would also note that because this involved a/c and heating, many people do not notify nhtsa of the concern, but it is very well documented and known.it is a very common problem that causes driving issues without being reported.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge ram 1500. When driving over unleveled land, the vehicle veered to the left or right and was extremely difficult to control the steering wheel.

The turn signals and wipers on my 2006 dodge ram 1500 are not working properly. Nothing happens when i move the switch up, and when i move it down, the right blinker comes on. The wipers don't work properly, and sometimes they don't work at all. These are all controlled by the toggle switch on the left side of the steering column. Today 7/29/2010 i was driving through a heavy down pour and the wipers stopped as described. The problems have been occurring for 1 and 1/2 weeks. I have read online of others having the same problems, and the fix is a new switch.
The passenger side headlight does not turn on even after replacement when the headlight switch is in the on position. Dealer has determined that the fault is the tipm (totally integrated power module). Per dealer mfg no longer produces the tipm unit. Per dealer aftermarket no longer manufactures part either. Dealer suggests wrecking yard, however part is a computer based product that still must be reprogrammed by dealer after replacement. This is a safety issue with lighting, and the passenger side headlight will not function without this unit being replaced.

I was driving on highway 64 e near williamsburg speed limit on the highway is 70 mph which is the speed limit at which truck turned off on its own.no hard idling, no check engine light came on just turned off on its own.power steering was lost along with the brakes and could not control the truck.had to let it go as it until i impacted in a ditch causing the tire to come off the wheel well, damage to the undercarriage and front driver side bumper.the truck is not safe to drive due to it shutting off and now steers to the left.after some research all dodge rams 2006-2011 have experienced this issue but dodge has not done anything to rectify the problem.this is highly dangerous as it could of resulted in the loss of life if it wasn't because of the amount of soft mulch that braced my impact.i am in the military serving active duty and have come home deployment after deployment and to have it all end because of a faulty vehicle.
Turn signals fail to work completely, or right turn signal will activate while using left signal or vise-versa. Headlights will fail while this "multi-function switch" shorts out. No wipers, no turn signals, no lights.
I have a 2006 dodge ram quad cab and recently the turn signal / wiper switch has been acting up.quite often when i push down to turn the left turn signal on the right comes on and there are times when no turn signal comes on at all. I was almost rear-ended because of this.also sometimes the wipers will not come out of intermittent no matter what setting i have them on.again this almost caused an accident because during a heavy rainstorm all that i couldget to work was intermittent.i have read online of other 2006 dodge ram owners having these same issues.this is a huge safety concern and should be recalled.
I activated my left turn signal but noticed that my right turn signal indicator light was blinking.this problem nearly caused an accident.the problem occurs approximately 90% of the time (when using turn signal).also, my wipers have begun malfunctioning (turn signal and wiper switch located together on steering column).i do not know how to correct the problem (vehicle out of warranty).
After owning a dodge 1500 2006 mega cab for 4 years had to replace the multi function switch it stopped working had no wipers high beamsor signals. 5 years later have the same thing happen seems like an on going problem with these switches. When the don't work make it a safety issue due to no wipers, signals, or high beams...
Head light switch will not turn lights on an off, does not matter if stationary or in motion.
This first started a few years after i got the truck which i bought new. Occasionally when i would turn on my left turn signal, the right or both would come on. This would also make my windshield wipers not function correctly. Dealer replaced the multi function switch. Same thing happened 3 more times over the next few years. Now its happening again.i have narrowly avoided 2 accidents because of this happening. Next, the heater/ac only works through the defrost vents. In the summer when using ac the windshield starts to freeze on the inside. Causing visibility issues. Also when using heat or ac the tachometer bounces around not reading correctly. All these electrical problems concern me. Just waiting for the truck to catch fire going down the road!! dodge has not been much of a help. $300 a piece for multi function switch. $800 to fix the heater. And they can't figure our the tachometer. I have sent videos of the tachometer messing up, complained about the milking function switch. But nothing. All these problems definitely affect the safety. Please help. Lots of other people have the same problems.
Problem with turn signal switch, when signaling left turn the right turn signal will blink or sometimes both will blink at same time, also unable to switch high beams on, when lever is pulled the windshield wipers spray cleaner fluid, this should activate by pushing in on handle not pulling on it. If you move the turn signal handle around sometimes it will correct the turn signal issue but still have not found a way to activate the high beams.
I was attempting to make a left turn off the highway, and when i signalled for a left turn with the turn signal, the instrument cluster showed a signal for right turn.i pulled into the left turn lane, and the car which was behind me and continuing straight slowed down and refused to go by me, even though i was in the left turn lane and they had a clear path ahead.this indicated to me that the taillights were also indicating a right turn.there was no accident as a result of this, but the normal flow of traffic on the highway was disrupted.since this incident, i have watched closely and the multifunction switch has done the same thing several times intermittently.we live near a busy highway in the country, and often when someone is slowing down to make a right turn, the traffic behind will pass on the left.if someone is actually making a left turn, but the signal is showing right, this could lead to a fatal collision.i contacted chrysler, and they simply told me to get it fixed and hang onto the receipts in case there is a recall.i also found that 2006 dodge 3500 pickups did have an extended warranty on the multifunction switch for this reason.

The problem started a few months ago, but i thought it had corrected itself. The past few weeks it has been a constant problem and will not stop. When turning the wipers on mist, they do not work. I have to switch it to the next setting to make them move. The blinkers are either working intermittently or not at all. When turning left, the right one comes one, both flash and stop or it will switch from one to the other. The same thing happens when turning right. Turning on the brights does not work either. It makes the washer fluid and wipers work.
My 2006 dodge ram truck turns on the wrong turn signal, for instance if i am making a right turn and i push the stalk up, the left turn signal turns on. This is an intermittent problem and sometimes my turn signals work and sometimes they do not. I also have the related problem that i have no control over my windshield wipers. When i turn them on, they will stay on for minutes at a time on a high speed and not turn off. Other times they will only go one or two times and shut off completely while it is pouring rain.
The tipm needs to be replaced. The headlights went out on me driving to work at 3:00 am (in the morning) pitch black out. Almost wrecked or died. This is not something acceptable. There jhave been many complaints and nothing is being done. Dodge has a problem here and it needs to be fixed now!!!
My turn signals do not work at all i replaced the multi switch and still nothing i have been reading on different message boards that they have the same problem so any help would be very greatly appreciated.
First problem was one idiot light on the dash indicated the emergency brake was on (and it wasn't). But since the operation of the truck was not an issue, i continued driving for two more months while more and more idiot lights came on each time the vehicle was used, electronically reporting a problem with the vehicle when there wasn't one.finally two months later, the truck would not start at all or even turn over. When the key was turned to start the vehicle, the engine wouldn't even crank. Yet all the idiot lights came on which indicated to me it was an electronic problem and not a mechanical one like a bad ignition or bad battery. After repeated attempts, opening and closing the doors electronically with the key fob on and off repeatedly, disconnecting and reconnecting the battery, locking and unlocking the doors manually, and even jiggling the steering wheel, eventually the vehicle would start up completely normally, but with all the idiot lights on. This was erratic and there was no rhyme or reason why it was happening or what caused the problem.the situation continued like this about a week until the engine would not even shut down when the key was turned to the off position. Not only that, several times the engine continued running when the key was removed and there was no way to stop the engine from running except sitting in the vehicle and waiting for it to sputter to a stop, which was a colossal waste of time and money and a potentially dangerous situation.after a subsequent appointment at the local dodge dealer here in albuquerque where the vehicle sat in the service bay for a week while the issue was being evaluated, resulting in the issue eventually being diagnosed as a bad tipm, which needed to be replaced at a grossly overpriced cost of $1600, since the part is available online for less than $400.
When turn left turn signal on right turn signal comes on and vice versa. Windshield wipers sometimes will only work on low speed.
When trying to signal a left turn using the multifunction switch on the steering wheel, the right blinkers turn on.
Dodge issued an "extended" warranty for the signal really in the steering column. They stated it could break. It really malfunctions- one signaling leftit could/would change from signaling left to signaling right. They are aware of this - when i tried to get mine fixed they said that they truck would need to show the malfunction for them to honor the warranty. I feel this should be a recall do to faulty signals (safety issue)i spoke to corporate and they felt the issue was addressed.
The turn signal will intermittently malfunction, causing the right indicator to blink though the lever is in the down position which when operational should signal the left indicator.this is a serious safety concern for myself as i have had multiple instances where i'm positioned in the left turn lane attempting to execute a left turn and signaling to oncoming traffic my intentions only to have the right blinker activate and cause traffic to stop abruptly in the lane i just exited.i am not only exposing myself to a rear end collision but i am also exposing the unsuspecting driver being incorrectly signaled to the same potential fate. The inability to caution oncoming traffic of my intentions also creates a potentially hazardous situation in that my turn could startle them causing them to turn sharply or stop abruptly.both could have detrimental impact provided the conditions are less than perfect in a state that commonly has severe winter weather.
When the left turn signal is activated, immediately the right turn signal engages. The failure occurs intermittently. I've contacted the dealership and was told there is nothing theycan do because the vehicle is out of warranty and manufacturer has not made a recall on my vehicle.this is extremely dangerous especially when entering the interstate.
Turn signals operate sporadically. Moving the turn signal stalk to signal a left turn can result in no flashing of the left turn signal but improper flashing of the right turn signal. Likewise when moving the turn signal stalk to signal a right turn the signal will not flash or sometimes will incorrectly signal left.this improper signal appears at both the dashboard indicator light and at the exterior front and rear turn signal lighting positions. Additionally the wiper blades have begun failing to operate when needed.when selecting an on position on the turn signal stalkthe wipers will sometimes stutter across the windshield or sometimes no move at all.when the vehicle was under factory warranty the multifunction switch was replaced.this fixed the problem the first time.the vehicle is having the same problem again but is now out of warranty.factory repair claims it will be the same replacement at owner cost.the problems happen intermittently, and can not be reproduced at will.over time, however, they are happening more frequently.
My truck has been having safety issues over time. Most recently having over-heating issues and engine problems since february 2018. The electrical issues happened since last year,dashboard no longer lights up. My one of my front head lights no longer lights up. Ive changed it several times and it still goes out. My driver seat beat no longer buckles.
My blinker lever does not work properly.when i use the left turn signal it started to blink to the right.throughout the rest of the day it would do this intermittently.i was going down a heavy traffic area and used my left turn signal.a car two lanes over slightly behind me starting honking their horn at me because it was attempting to go one lane over to the right.we both tried to go into the middle lane at the same time and i initially thought it was the other driver's fault.i looked at my blinker lever and i did have it in the correct position for a left signal.i then looked at my light display for the blinker and it was flashing to the right.my wife told me about this happening before without me in the vehicle but this i finally got to experience it myself.if it wasnt for my awareness and the other vehicle honking their horn, then we would have collided.ever since that day i experienced it myself, i have noticed it happening more frequently now.sometimes i use the blinker lever and i get no turn signal at all anymore except for pressing the lever harder down or up.i am now more concerned about correct turn signals coming from the lever and it takes away from my situational awareness while driving.
Will driving on the highway the truck completely shut off and died. I was not able to safely maneuver the to the road and was almost rearended by the vehicle behind me. I had to get out of the truck and push it across 2 lanes of traffic to get it off the road. After further investigation i found that the tipm in 2006 dodge trucks are bad. There has been no recall to date and this is an extreme safety liability. This is the first dodge i have owned and i just purchased the vehicle 3 weeks ago. I will never own another dodge, chrysler or jeep vehicle as long as live. I have researched on the internet through multiple blogs and found that very many people have experienced the same issue some not as fortunate as me and were actually involved in bad car accidents do to this same problem.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge ram 1500. The contact stated that there was a premature failure with the cruise control feature activating or not functioning properly. There was alsounintended movement while the vehicle was in gear. The contact was unable to determine if there was an electrical failure that activated the cruise control, causing the vehicle to lunge and accelerate at a high rate of speed. Force was applied to the brake pedal when the failure happened. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who checked for dtc, but was unable to replicate and diagnose the failure. There was no repair recommendation from the independent mechanic. Additionally, a brake light switch was replaced by the independent mechanic. The dealer (whitten brothers of ashland, 11409 washington hwy, ashland, va 23005,(804) 798-6071) was also unable to determine the cause of the failure. The vin was not included in nhtsa campaign numbers: 14v795000 (electrical system) and 06v038000 (service brakes, hydraulic). The manufacturer issued six tsbs for the electrical system and was notified of the failure. The failure mileage approximately 130,000.
The total integrated power module or fuse box on 2006 dodge rams has a known problem of failing. To replace faulty headlight circuit it will cost 1000 dollar because of this tipm. It has a poor design and dodge should address this issue.
Driver side low beam head light does not work. Bulb replaced, continued to not be operational. Took to chrysler/dodge deal, who connected a 'code' reader which indicated the problem was the tipm. Tipm was not replaced due to cost & the vehicle was out of warranty due to mileage.
I was driving on the highway and attempting to change lanes , i pulled down my turn signal yoke to engage the signal and changed lanes - approx 500 yards later i was pulled over by a state highway patrolman who explained that i never signaled when i changed lanes. After assuring him that i did we explored the possibility that my lights were out - after going through all the motions we concluded that my lights worked fine but for some reason , my turn signals would randomly decide not to work and work at other times for no reason. The officer let me go with a warning and a promise to look into the situation right away. After doing some research , i have found many other people with the same problem from the same automaker - dodge needs to recall all of their 2006 ram's and replace their defective parts. I believe ( from what i have read) it is the multi-function switch that needs the replacing. This is a major safety concern if people are thinking that their turn signals are working properly and in fact they are not - if it is concern enough to warrant a failed inspection from a dealership or state mandated law , why does dodge believe that it is not necessary for them to replace their mistakes ? this is going to get people killed !!!!!
When driving trying to change lanes i tried to signal right and my left turn signal came on then the turn signalswere alternatingback and forth. This has been happening on and off for quite a few years it will start working again then later break again.
I have an 2006 dodge megacab with only 40,000 miles since we hit 34,000 miles the turn signals work intermittently or not at all. Recently my wife was on the freeway and activated the right turn signal indicator and the left blinker came on she was nearly hit by a fast approaching driver from behind. I contacted chrysler corp. And filed a complaint a rep called me and stated they would by happy to cover the cost of the part if it was deemed defective by and authorized tech i would however have to cover the service fees. I explained to her that our current financial situation would not allow this and in essence this was a defective part and the manufacturer should stand behind their product she gave me the impression that they were not concerned this was an issue or even a safety issue. I stated that the repercussions of such short sightedness could be fatal for some unfortunate chrysler product owners if this is not addressed immediately as i have noticed a growing number of online forum complaints regarding this very issue. All we ask is that this issue be addressed as a recall issue and repairs be completed satisfying customer requests to ensure a safer driving experience. Here is my ref #1974126 in deference to my complaint to chrysler corp.
Turn signal signals in wrong direction intermittently .seems to be a very common problem with these dodge vehicles has led tonear miss accident.*ln
Multi function switch intermittent failure causing turn signals to operate incorrectly, wipers and other functions also effected, occasionally causing truck to quit running along with gauges and information display to not work correctly.

My turn signal on my 2006 dodge ram 1500 mega cab gives a wrong signal when least expect it. If you turn on the left turn signal the right one blinks or it flashes back and forth. Just learned of what will fix the problem, it is caused by the multifunctional switch. I have not had it fixed yet but when i do i will keep the old switch. It happenes every couple of days then it stops for a while and then it starts again.

My airbag warning light indicates airbag failure. Dealership claims it's my fault. I bought it new for the safety features.
We went for a drive to medora nd. Where we spent the night and after we left to return home on hwy 94 when i was pulled over by a state highway patrol. The officer said i hadn't turned my signal on.i told her that i had and while she getting my information i was checking out my signals they would work and then they wouldn't then i turned on the left signal and the right would come on when it turned the right the right worked fine.i turned the four way flasher the left signal would come on. Weird. When the officer came back to the truck i told her there is something wrong with my signals.she said that i should take in and have it checked out.so i am now waiting to get it into the dodge dealership.they are really messed up nothing works as it should. I have noticed after doing a search that many dodge pickups have the same issue.i hope this will help encourage a recall for this vehicle.
2006 dodge quad cab pick up (4 wd)while driving horn, dome light and cargo light come on with no warning or reason.event happens every time i drive.some times the dash lights go out.which is hazardous in the dark.dealer put in a new cluster and i still have the problem.last time i drove got shocked when turning off the ignition, horn, dome light and cargo light come on.i have to pull the neg battery cable.system seems to reset, horn and lights go out.dealer can't find the problem.my guess is the key switch or the ground for switch.
While sitting at a red light turned on the left blinker and after a few seconds the blinker switched to blinking for the right both inside in the dash and outside at the front and rear and the indicator switch was still in the left turn position very dangerous has happened several time since date shown.
Turn signals and windshield wipers malfunction.if i press down on the turn signal lever, the right turn signal is activated instead of the left.sometimes no turn signal is activated.also, my windshield wipers will stop altogether without warning.these events occur at random and are hard for me to diagnose.i would estimate that ninety-five percent of the time, the turn signals and wipers work properly.however i am worried that a future occurrence may cause an accident.please let me know if there is a known cause, and or fix for this issue.
06 dodge ram turn signal indicates different direction than intended when making turns. Had several close calls in 08 before realizing what was wrong. Wipers also malfunction ninety % of the time. Have not repaired these problems just use a lot of rainx but not my turn signals.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge ram 1500. The contact stated that that battery was charged via a jump start. Later while the contact was driving 40 mph, all of the instrument panel lights illuminated and the vehicle would only shift into one gear. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the dealer confirmed that the tipm sensor needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was not contacted and the vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 58,725 and the current mileage was 58,730.
When u turn the signals on they go the opposite way or completely go off it causes the break lights to goout as well this is a major safety issue and can result in a crash this should have been recalled along time ago why haven't you done anything i my self feel this is a major safety issue it gives everyone a false direction and results "wreck" i have had multiple incidents with this it happens frequently i have replaced bulbs and it is not the problem the problem is in the factory screw up.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge ram megacab 1500 4x4. The contact was driving approximately 45 mph and attempting a left turn when the left turn signal failed to illuminate. The failure recurred continuously. The vehicle had not been diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the problem and they advised the contact there were no recalls related to the defect. The approximate failure mileage was 70,000. Updated 4/2/12 the rear left turn signal did not activate at any speed. The consumer stated it was not a bulb issue, but a computer problem. Updated 04/13/12
Has anelectrical short making the emergency brake light go on and off and a few other electrical things
I had my daughter out for drivers training when all of a sudden the turn signals stopped working.we pulled into a parking lot and checked fuses but found no problem.i took over driving and the signals started working by there selves.a week later i was at a stop sign turning right all of a sudden the left turn signal started flashing alternate of the right flashing.then they stopped working all together.when i restarted the truck the turn signals started working again.yesterday the signals would work once and then stop working until i would restart the truck.the dealership said they could not diagnose the problem until the signals acted up so they could see it.i guess it's time to go to the dealer and get it fixed.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge ram 1500. The contact stated that the multi- function switch was defective and the turn signal and the windshield wipers would not function properly. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer and the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vin was not available and the vehicle was not repaired. The failure and the current mileage was 105,000.
Over the life of the vehicle to date 4 - 5 times the engine electrical system has shut down when the vehicle struck a large pothole, jarring the truck. The engine shut down and after putting the truck in neutral, i am able to start the engine again. The dealer has not been able to find any reason for this failure. After recent publicity concerning other vehicle shut downs resulting in the air bag system being disabled, i am concerned over the safety of the vehicle.
The blinker switch on my 2006 1500 ram doesn't work.when i flip the switch to turn right the left blinker comes on.sometimes no blinker comes on.also, at times, when i turn the wipers on they don't always come on and when they do come on they don't always turn off after turning them off.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge ram 1500. The contact stated that the turn signals and the four wheel drive failed.the contact took the vehicle to the dealer and was told that the total integrated power module failed and needed to be replaced. The dealer stated that the failure could also cause the vehicle to not start. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was unknown, but the current mileage was 43,000.
The problem first occurred at highway speeds where the signal fails to operate, operates the opposite signal of what the driver selected or alternates rapidly both turn signals.additionally when this happens the high speed on the wipers and the hazards fail as well.the problem now occurs sitting still or any speed, it appears to be a bad multifunction switch.this is definitely a dangerous and from what i've read, far to common a problem.
Wire harness in rear driver side door was found completely severed inside boot from frame to door.effects window, door locks, dome light operation, and speaker.presence of voltage can cause fire if aching occurs.
The dash cluster started with the rpm guage stopped working at about 90,000 miles and now all of it is maxed out full gauges on the whole dash clucter and the speed odomiter still moves but is not correst its about 20mph off. I cant remember but i believe i was driving and noticed the rpm gauge first and weeks later i noticed all the other gauges
Turn signals not working correctly, turn on left signal and they both flash or the right signal flashes but never the left signal.
My 2006 dodge ram 1500 mega cab began to have problems with the rear controls, i.e. The door locks, power windows, speakers, dome lights. Doors to not lock or unlock nor does the safety auto lock work. Window rolled down but not up. Vehicle was taken to the place of purchase and discovered that under normal use of the rear door, the wiring harness had several broken wires in it. It was fixed for $340. I believe i now have problems with the passenger side wiring harness. Is this a manufacturer defect? how do the wires break inside the harness which are also inside the door and/or body of the truck. I now know of two other people with dodge ram 1500's that are also having the same problem. I have two small children, i should not have to worry about their safety because of faulty wiring!!
The vehicle is shuttering under braking and while applying directional inputs. All tire pressures are 35psi and are in good shape without cupping. While braking at speeds above 40mph the vehicle will shudder violently. The steering shudders while applying slight directional control.
For more than 1 year, the tachometer in my dodge ram has functioned intermittently.on 3/25/15i noticed that the driver-side low-beam headlight bulb was out.i replaced the bulb without effect.my mechanic diagnosed the tipm module as the culprit for both the headlight and tachometer failure.he will replace the module, at a cost of roughly $1000, when a replacement can be obtained.it is estimated that it will be at least 4 weeks from the time of diagnosis before that replacement tipm will be available.in the meantime, i must drive my truck with only one headlight and then i will have to pay more than $1000 to have this repaired.
I was driving on interstate 90 when my truck suddenly shut down for no reason. No check engine lights, just a total loss of power and the steering locked up.i was able to restart it by throwing it into neutral, but it would not restart in park.this has been happening off and on, and no mechanics can seem to figure it out since it doesn't happen all the time.i'm scared to drive it.i have been on dodgeforum.com, and there are many dodge models/years suffering this problem, but no recall has been issued.this is a major safety issue and i don't know what to do to get it fixed (nor do i have the money to keep taking it in again and again).it "codes out" as an electrical/computer issue of unknown origin that no one has yet been able to fix, despite replaced valves, relays, etc.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge ram 1500. The contact stated that when activating the right turn signal, the left turn signal would illuminate or the windshield wipers would activate abnormally. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer where the multi-function switch was replaced. The failure recurred. The vehicle was not further repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 20,000 and the current mileage was approximately 50,000.
At first the wipers would stop randomly (while driving in a rainstorm) but i would fiddle with the switch and they would normally come back on.in the last week theybasically quit working altogether other than a random stroke here or there.i replaced the wiper/signal control switch on the steering column yesterday thinking it must be worn out.to no avail, the wipers are not working and after researching on the internet, i find that it is a very common problem.people are replacing parts,spending money at service centers and not getting the problem solved.i live in the rainy northwest and i can tell you that it is a big safety issue not being able to see in front of you while navigating i-5 at 70mph at some random point during a trip. This problem started over a year ago but was always a momentary thing and would resolve itself, but it is now a permanent problem and i wish i knew what part replacement would resolve it.
2006 dodge mega cab w/ hemi. When the blinkers are turned on ( left or right) they blink in the wrong direction or do not blink at all. On my truck they started about 1 month ago and are increasingly getting worse. Now every turn they are sure to mess up. This could be a very serious issue if another vehicle think you are turning 1 way and you are actual turning another. This needs to be recalled..........
I have a 2006 dodge ram 1500 and the turn signals do not work correctly. The truck was functioning properly before and there has not been any changes or accidents to the vehicle that could have caused it.when you turn the right signal on, it will blink a few times, then the left will blink a few times, or it will go back and forth like a police car. Some times both will blink at the same time. Some times it has a strobe light effect. My truck had 70k miles on it when it started and it happens every day. It might not happen every time i turn the blinker on, but it does happen every day. It has made driving very dangerous, becausevehicles will cut me off because they are unable to determine what my turn signals are telling them. It makes it dangerous to change lanes and turn at intersections. Driving at night is even worse. This is a safety issue and should be recalled. I have done online research and found that it is a very common problem with this year and model truck. The solution to the problem is to replace the turn signal switch in the steering column. I called my local dodge dealership and they said it would cost around 500 dollars to fix. I highly stress thatthis issue be addressed. I strongly suggest this issue be addresses as it is only a matter of time until a serious crash will be caused by the malfunction.
2006 dodge ram turn signal switch, when activated for left turn both turn signals flash or will completely shut off. When activating windshield wipers during rain they sometimes turn off by themselves and i have to fiddle with the switch to get them going again while driving down the road.went to dealer they want $300.00 to fix it since its not a safety issue, wipers turning off in the rain is not a safety issue?
Turning on the wrong turn signal, for instance you are making a left turn and you push the stalk down, the right turn signal turns on.
When it is very hot and the windows have been up, the ignition switch will not turn.the steering wheel will not turn and the key will not rotate from locked position.i have contacted dodge and they say they have made notes on the issue, but they don't see a problem that they are responsible for.if this was an issue that i would have control of creating - it would be my problem.this is an issue with safety in that if i had an emergency and this happened i would not be able to start my car. Or, have a car-full of groceries and find out the car won't start!!!bad enough i have to wait for the car to cool off when this happens.this is a summertime issue which makes me have to find shade or park where the sun doesn't shine into the front of the car.problem seems to be a part (probably plastic) that expands when it gets very hot and prevents the key cylinder from rotating.this can't be the only car with this issue as dodge would elude to . . .
The contact owns a 2006 dodge ram 1500. The vehicle was experiencing two recurring failures.while driving at any speed the turn signals either would not function or the opposite turn signal from which he intended to turn on would illuminate.he also stated that when the high beams were engaged and then turned off, the windshield wiper fluid would activate.the vehicle was not taken to be examined for the cause of failure and was not repaired.the failures continued to recur intermittently.the failure mileage was 22,000 and the current mileage was 25,000.the vin was unavailable.
When turning on the left turn signal the right one comes on.also sometimes when activating turn signals the wipers will come on as well as the window wash/spray.to correct the problem i have to hit the steering column and it will correct.i have spoken with other ram owners who have had the same experience.
Turn signal lever doesn't work properly.
Right low beam fails to light. Bulb has been replaced. Socket is good. Failure is in tipm. Appears to be a common problem in 06 to 08 dodge trucks. Dealer charge $750 to $900 to replace and reprogram tipm unit. This is an extravagant charge for an item that should last the life of the vehicle.
My name is [xxx]and i own a 2006 dodge ram 1500 pickup truck. After purchasing the truck i noticed that every once in a while when i pressed the turn indicator down to turn left, the right turn indicator light would turn on. This happened once or twice a day. A few weeks later this was happening everytime i drove, also the windshield wipers would only stay on low speed. I took the vehicle to a mechanic, and he "re-set" the system. Well, this worked for only a couple days. I had paid the mechanic a large sum of money to fix the problem so i could not afford to take the vehicle back. I drove around with this faulty turn indicator problem for around 6 months. This problem was such a nuisance for me, and not to mention illegal! everytime i took a left turn i would have to place my arm out the window and turn. This was such an embarrassment for me. Finally i took the dodge ram truck to a dodge dealership, and they informed me that the problem was that i had a faulty "multifunction switch" and that it would cost $263.00 to replace. So i gladly paid the money and go it fixed due to the un-safe turn indicator problem. I have been searching the internet for this problem and found that several people have had this "turn indicator" problem, and it seems to be that chrysler had installed faulty "multifunction switches" in their 06 dodge ram pickup trucks. I am asking you to please issue a recall on these faulty "multifunction switches" in the 06 dodge ram trucks before someone gets seriously injured or loses their life. Thank youinformation redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
The switch on my 2006 dodge ram that controls the turn signal, wipers and light dimmer does not function properly.it turns the opposite signal on that i have specified, my wipers shut off while driving and it will not allow me to dim my headlights.driving in the rain is very difficult and turning becomes a problem becasue i never know what signal will turn on.i spoke with mechanics at a dealership who informed me that the problem is so common that the mulit function switch is now referred to as the malfunction switch.
The ignition switch gets stuck and will not turn.it starting to happen more frequently now about 3 times per week.
Turn signal malfunction. When i move turn signal lever for left turn, the right turn lamps flash.sometimes it does not signal at all.
Electric window control buttons on all doors(driver, passenger, and both back doors became glitchy. Sometimes they worked sometimes they did not. Unable to roll up or roll down. Then hours or days later they would randomly work again, and then randomly stop working.
Truck started rumbling that sounded like when you go over rumble strips on the freeway if i replace the rear end and it's still doing it. The second thing is the transfer case has some kind of short in it that no one can figure out driving down the road it locks in lights out periodically so i had to disengage it so it wouldn't do that so i can drive itwould also go into neutral just randomly i was driving uphill when it happened and i had to replace the transmission that cost me $4,200 which i thought would fix the problem but it did not.
Dropped truck off for detailing. Truck was off. When employee tried to start truck battery was dead. After jumping battery, it started but once driven 50 feet to park, the truck key could be turned off, key removed, but truck still running. Could not get it to turn off. Electric windows closed themselves, air conditioning would not operate. Dash board lights came on. Manual brake was set and could be released, but light never went out. Truck was about 90 degrees in hawaii heat, so couldn't drive it to dodge dealer with no air and windows inoperable. Scary. Had it hauled to dealer on truck while it was running. Dealer said battery drained and tipm needs replacement, and then further investigation. Est. $3,000 already for repairs. In month leading up to this, vehicle had vibration. Dealers replaced fuel injector, rear end differential, brake pads and rotors and calipers, all which had passed an inspection just a couple months earlier. Costestimate on these combined $3,000 also. Saw recall 05v461000 online for 2006 dodge ram 1500 transfer case. Could this be related?i had similar thing happen with my dodge nitro which was on recall.
All of the gaugo haywire,periodically. The ck doesn't want to start periodically. It even died while driving.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving approximately 30 mph over a bump, the vehicle stalled without warning. The failure recurred several times. The vehicle was taken to the dealer. However, the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 24.
There has be a number of occasions this has happened about probably 100 times but paid not much attention until this winter. The turn signal level is also used to turn on the wipers on the vehicle. The problem arises when the vehicle lights are turned on, the wipers are on, and the turn signal are turned on. For no reason the turn signal from the opposite side of the vehicle is the one that operates. Normally when you are turning to the right the turn signal does not turn on andthe left side signal turn on. In order to alleviate this problem i have to turn the wipers off completely. This causes a problem because this impairs visibility an also is giving other drivers the wrong signals. I have no idea what caused this issue but since i reside in the state of virginia it is a requirement that when it rains you must turn your lights and wipers this has caused me a problems since i depend on this vehicle and when it snows or rain i cannot operate the vehicle. I am taking the vehicle to the dodge dealer tomorrow to see what is the problem. I have not caused any accidents. Some drivers had got aggravated since some times i give them the wrong turn signals. The incidents have occurred many times in the last 8 months and i have noted that is getting more frequent since we have got more snow and rain in the north east i whish i can provide specific dated but it has happened so many times that i got tired of it and i am taking the vehicle to the dealer tomorrow. I am putting today as the most current date.
I signaled for a left hand turn and after about 2 seconds the blinker went from left to right.now whenever i signal for a left hand turn, the blinker goes left then right after a few seconds.
Turn signals malfunction. When signaling for left turn, right signal operates.
Turn signals began to randomly blink on either side (or both sides) regardless which directional signal was being used.code reader at dealership showed problem with tipm.
The tail light function of the trailer wiring harness stopped functioning. Still have use of brake and turn lights. This is hard to catch on a visual test since i usually check turn and brake functions. Towed for weeks before i was told of the malfunction. Therefore cannot see trailer at night. Dealership could not fix problem.
Based on a thorough troubleshooting process, it was found that the tipm unit in my 2006 dodge ram 1500 slt 4.7l is faulted / bad. My left exterior signal will not function and flashes in the instrument cluster aty a rapid rate. Per dodge, this is indicative of a bad bulb or short circuit. I replaced all bulbs and the rear lamp circuit board as directed. Neither repaired the problem. After two days of searching for a short, a dodge technician and myself found the tipm to have a high side short which will not allow current to continue through the circuit to the lamps. An internet search finds this to be a very common fault of the dodge module in many dodge models, yet dodge continues to expect the vehicle owners to pay for these repairs. Many owners such as myself have this issue outside of the warranty period resulting in a inappropriate repair bill for a safety item dodge knows is faulty and will at some point, fail, resulting in other safety features other than just a flasher and brake light going out. I cannot accept that dodge is continually allowed to use such faulty safety modules without being required to fix this problem, without the owners suffering the costs.please contact me at [xxx] for any followup on this issue.v/r,[xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
I've been having a problem with my 2006 dodge ram 1500 for a while.the turn signals are all screwed up.when you turn it to the left the right signal comes on.i was almost in a wreck yesterday.how this isn't a safety issue is beyond my comprehension. When i am in a wreck because of this, i plan on suing the bejesus out of dodge and everyone else who i have notified and who have done nothing to rectify this clear safety problem.
On a 2006 dodge ram when u turn the left turn signal on u might get right left or both and it messes with windshield wipers to not good when raining or turning.
The turn signal on the vehicle began activating the wrong signal. At times the signal will not work at all. At other times it signals the opposite direction i am attempting to turn. The signal switch also controls my high beams and windshield wipers. Both of these are also affected at times by the problem. I am very concerned anyone of these issues could cause a serious accident.
Turn signals stopped working. Got a notice several years ago but the were fine then, not now. Apparently the x42 multifunction switch has now gone bad. I have 105,000 miles on truck which is still within the mileage range for coverage. Would like dodge to replace this part at no charge for me it is a major safety issue.
In cold dry weather the ignition system shorts causing the horn lights and chimes to activate.the dealer has witnessed this three times, but said that chrysler has no history of this happening and has no fix for the problem.the truck has been back to the dealer numerous times, several inhouse fixes were tried, but the problem still exists.a representative from chrysler customer assistance told me that the problem is an act of nature and chrysler in not responsible, but he refused to give me the statement in writing.the problem started about 3 weeks after i got the truck in january 2006.
Dodge ram 1500 2006 - turn signal problems.on occasion the turn signals show opposite exterior lighting when used.for example, turn switch to left or counter clockwise, the right side exterior signals will light up.sometimes they do not work at all and thehazards will not work either.this is a very significant safety issue.
I went to turn on my left signal and it started flashing both ways then the wrong direction stayed on. The failure has been recurring since then and the most recent failure was my windshield wipers started slowing down and delaying even when i had not touched the controls. The turn signals sometime will not come on at all.i understand that this has been brought to the attention of dodge/chrysler but no recall or campaign has been issue.the problem is intermittent, but could result in a serious accident.
The tipm needs to be replaced. The air condition is cycling because of the problem with the tipm
I have a problem with the windshield wipers on my 2006 dodge ram 1500 quad cab. They will not run for more than one to two minutes on continuous wipe. After that time they will only wipe at an intermittent speed which varies from once every two seconds to once every twenty to thirty seconds, whatever they feel like wiping at. This is a very dangerous situation which i found out just the other day while traveling home from work in a steady rain. During the trip home it became very difficult to see and very unsafe. It is a very insecure feeling not knowing when your wipers will clear your windshield again in a steady rain.
Check gauges light comes on very often.taken to dealer can not find problem & it still is happening.

Owner [xxx] was traveling up a longhill on dirt road when about half way up hillvehicle suddenly quit running (no warning) and "check gage light" (cgl) came on. Truck restarted, but would not pull hill.i slowly backed truck down hill without engine -- and started truck on level ground and turned around.truck ran fine the about two miles home , but "check gage light" remained on. (all gages and liquid levels checked normal) thegas gage showed just below half full. After arriving home, i added a gallon of gasoline, but cgl remained on.i called service manager at sloan ford in columbia , tn. Who suggested having truck towed to sloan ford to be checked(about 20 miles). When wrecker arrived at my home for truck, the truck started andcgl was off. Sloan technicians kept the truck for a week, and the problem never occurred again and has not since. This isvery dangerous because of the possibility of the truck stalling suddenly again infast moving traffic, etc.. I would like to hear of any similar cases , and the possible cause. I consider this unknown mystery potentially very dangerous causing me to be reluctant to drive truck in heavy traffic or long distances.

I have a 2006 dodge ram 1500 4x4 st.the problem is static electricity in the ignition switch which chrysler engineer have acknowledged that their is a problem and the problem is when the weather is dry and i go to start my vehicle the surge of the static electricity in the air sets of my horn, my chimes, my interior lights, my cargo lights and my open door lights.the horn blare for up to 3 to 4 minutes and the rest takes an hour or more to reset themselves or i have to disconnect the battery to get them to stop.the dealer ship gave me a can of static guard to spray on my seats to keep this from happening.at night when this happens, i have to cut off my instrument panel lights in order to drive because of the interior lights staying on.i have tried the lemon law etc.dave weinberger a spokesman with chrysler has not kept me abreast of what is going on.i want my truck fixed or replace with another.my family has allergies and the spraying of this static guard is not helping their conditions either!again chrysler is the ones who told me that they knew of the problem and are dragging their feet to fix it.

I have tried on many times too arrigo dodge in west palm beach ,floridatoo complete the safety recall .they have refused too address the issues with this truck . I have complained to the dodge motor division more times than a few ,they turn a blind-eye to the dealership . This truck was a lemon from the show-room floor ,i have replaced the computer , emissions system ,fuel injection system , wiring harness , and many more repairs .the brake system is very dangerous ,someone is going too get a serious injury from this issue. The truck also suffers from sudden acceleration, at any given time . I have called the chrysler rep countless times , and they have a care less attitude ,i voiced my opinion on the chat line ,and...they were quite amusedat the possibility of a crash or injury . I want a complete investigation of the dealership ,the factory , and bring in the department of justice on these criminal activities ! please do something soon , this is a matter of life and death !
Brake failure.
Dropped truck off for detailing. Truck was off. When employee tried to start truck battery was dead. After jumping battery, it started but once driven 50 feet to park, the truck key could be turned off, key removed, but truck still running. Could not get it to turn off. Electric windows closed themselves, air conditioning would not operate. Dash board lights came on. Manual brake was set and could be released, but light never went out. Truck was about 90 degrees in hawaii heat, so couldn't drive it to dodge dealer with no air and windows inoperable. Scary. Had it hauled to dealer on truck while it was running. Dealer said battery drained and tipm needs replacement, and then further investigation. Est. $3,000 already for repairs. In month leading up to this, vehicle had vibration. Dealers replaced fuel injector, rear end differential, brake pads and rotors and calipers, all which had passed an inspection just a couple months earlier. Costestimate on these combined $3,000 also. Saw recall 05v461000 online for 2006 dodge ram 1500 transfer case. Could this be related?i had similar thing happen with my dodge nitro which was on recall.
Wheel hub assembly are coming off, i hear noise, and broken exhaust manifold bolts
Truck will idle at 100 rpms and every once in awhile it will stall out as i am rolling up to a stop light. The truck will cut off without warning. The truck will start back up with no issues after this happens but this seems that it could be a serious issue especially if you have no control when it stalls out at low rpms.
Strange vibration in suspension system when reaching speeds between 50 - 70 mph.i am experiencing rough riding as i excellerate to the above speeds on the highway.
Traveling west bound on i/10 mile marker 109 vinton la. My 06 dodge ram hemi 1500 5.7 quad cabtwo wheel drive engine shut off was in the left 3rd lane had to move over two lanes to get to the right side of theinterstate. I tried starting turn over good but would not start.
The problem started in 2009. Went to drive the truck and could not get the truck to drive over 20 mph. Was able to get it to a dealer close by and had to have the throttle body positioning sensor replaced. Since that date i have had to have this same sensor changed 8 more times. Each time the private mechanic talks to chrysler and they recognize there is a faulty problem with this part and will not recall the item. When this sensor goes out it will not let you drive more than about 20mph. Also had to replace the accelerated pedal positioning sensor 4 times. Blinker problems noted by many other consumers i have also had. Where you turn on the left blinker and the right blinker comes on. As well as the a/c problem many consumers have mentioned the door breaks and then all you have is outside air coming in. My mechanic has tried to get replacement parts from chrysler to repair the problem and chrysler does not sell this part (please explain to me how they can make the vehicle and not sell the part to repair it when it breaks knowing it breaks often). Tie rods have also been a problem with my truck. No matter how tight they are they continue to come loose even after being replaced and then the truck will shake. My main concern at this point is it intermittently will die while driving down the highway. It will start right back up but will die again and then it wont duplicate the problem for 2 or 3 days and then will do it again. Have not been able to diagnose this problem yet. If anyone knows any suggestions to look at please advise.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge ram 1500. While driving at a low speed, the contact heard a noise coming from underneath the vehicle. The contact noticed that the head of the bolts that were attached to the exhaust manifold fractured. The vehicle was taken to multiple independent mechanics who diagnosed that the bolts needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 95,000.
When raining the engine misfires to the point of stalling the engine and when hitting the gas the engine will big down when idleing for more that 10 minutes the engine idles rough and begins to putter and stahls out.the rear differential but came loose causing the pinion gear to shift which had resulted in a loud whirling sound when driving at any speed and gets louder when the faster the truck goes and also clunks when coming to a stop.when hitting the brake pedal the front passenger blinker/running light illuminates.front driver side wheel bearing consistently fails after 8,000-20,000 miles causing a loud humming noise and causing me tons of money.check engine light comes on telling me to check gas cap even though i've replace it twice now which leads me to believe there is a engineering defect and also through the code for misfire in cylinder 7 even though i've replaced the spark plugs and coils after the code was generated and it went if for about 4 weeks and came back on.i'm conclusion i believe chrysler is knowingly selling unsafe and, unreliable vehicles which end to costing the consumer thousands in repairs and time something we can't get back. This has been happening since 20,000-40,000 miles into owning the vehicle.my vehicle was manufactured 05/2005 but is titled as a 2006 dodge ram 1500 slt crew cab
2006 dodge ram 1500. Vehicle would shut down while driving. Engine would crank but not turn over. Mechanic had to tear into engine to find the problem.rods bent, valve sticking, timing chain jump.basically the engine was shot.repair cost $3,000.00.it appears that a lot of other people have the same problem and it cannot be diagnosed without tearing into the engine.also turn signal would blink opposite of where turning.dodge needs to do something about this.these are safety issues!i would like to be reimbursed my costs.mileage on vehicle:158,000.interesting enough, i have a 2001 dodge ram that has over 307,000 miles on it and never had this problem.
Exhaust manifold bolts are rusted away. Thinking this could be a emission issue.did research on it looks like there is alot of issue complaints out there on it.
After getting off work around11:30 p.m.i went to gas up at a chevron station. I left the station and went tothe atm. After leaving the atm i got back into my vehicleit cranked, went dead and would not start again . I had the truck tow to a shop and according to the mechanic the valve fell from the engine .now according to mechanic this is an ongoing problem with dodge. I am concerned because the only major trouble i've had with this vehicle is getting spark plugs.if this is an ongoing problem then my 2014 dodge that i have purchased will do the same time.

Intake valve seat fell out of cylinder head, breaking piston top, rendering the engine useless.
Will driving on the highway the truck completely shut off and died. I was not able to safely maneuver the to the road and was almost rearended by the vehicle behind me. I had to get out of the truck and push it across 2 lanes of traffic to get it off the road. After further investigation i found that the tipm in 2006 dodge trucks are bad. There has been no recall to date and this is an extreme safety liability. This is the first dodge i have owned and i just purchased the vehicle 3 weeks ago. I will never own another dodge, chrysler or jeep vehicle as long as live. I have researched on the internet through multiple blogs and found that very many people have experienced the same issue some not as fortunate as me and were actually involved in bad car accidents do to this same problem.

This is the tenth time my truck has stalled out since i have owned it. There is no warning, errors or codes. It has taken place while driving, turning at low speeds and while stopped. Most recently was today in which i was almost rear ended and a victim of road rage by the other driver. The truck does start again, but it takes a few minutes. The truck will then run fine for a while and then it occurs again. Weather and road conditions do not have a factor in this. Ii have noticed that this is a common problem with many dodge owners. This is a severe safety issue. I have been to the dealer and they have found no issues. All of the maintenance is up to date and beyond. I have all documents to prove the above mentioned. Dodge has replied by stating that the vehicle is out of warranty. There has to be an answer to this. This is a life safety issue. Please look into this.

Without any warning, no gauge signs or anything, the truck just shut down.it would not start again and the engine seems to be locked up it will not crank over. I was sitting at a stop light and the check engine light came on, oil gauge dropped, and the truck shut off all within seconds.

About 2 1/2 years ago i was driving my truck on a state highway travelling around 55 to 60 mph when the engine suddenly died. Of course my power steering no longer worked but i was able to pull off the road. This was a scary situation that could have turned out very badly. Luckily, i was in a spot where i could pull over. This particular highway doesn't have a lot of shoulder area. I turned the key off and turned it back on and the truck started back up and everything was fine. This happened a couple of more times when i was travelling on the highway at higher speeds and also driving on a city street at lower speeds. I took it to my mechanic and he connected a code reader and based on the codes it was showing he changed both the cam shaft position sensor and the crank shaft position sensor but the engine continued to die while the vehicle was in motion. The last time it happened was on 1/21/2018 on the same state highway except that this time it didn't want to start back up. I had it towed to a different mechanic and he ran compression tests that showed very little compression on one side of the engine and no compression on the other side. He said he wouldn't be able to tell me what was wrong with it until he opened the engine which would cost several hundred dollars and then who knows how much after the problem was determined. I have not had the money to do that so it has been sitting at the mechanic's garage for the past 2 1/2 years. Every other mechanic i talked to said that i should just go ahead and replace the engine, which i cannot afford to do. They said 2006 was one of the worst years for the dodge ram engine. When it died it was 11 years old but had less than 110,000 miles on it.
Owner of j.p. Direct auto sales in florence, ky sold me a vehicle with odometer discrepancies. The owner sold the vehicle at a little over 133,000 miles but the odometer has never rolled over since i drove the truck off the lot. Furthermore, a mechanic performed an engine light reading that indicated an issue tripped around 146,000 miles. The owner is not owning up to the odometer discrepancy and making returning the truck very difficult.
I was driving on interstate 90 when my truck suddenly shut down for no reason. No check engine lights, just a total loss of power and the steering locked up.i was able to restart it by throwing it into neutral, but it would not restart in park.this has been happening off and on, and no mechanics can seem to figure it out since it doesn't happen all the time.i'm scared to drive it.i have been on dodgeforum.com, and there are many dodge models/years suffering this problem, but no recall has been issued.this is a major safety issue and i don't know what to do to get it fixed (nor do i have the money to keep taking it in again and again).it "codes out" as an electrical/computer issue of unknown origin that no one has yet been able to fix, despite replaced valves, relays, etc.

The failure mileage was 40,000 and the current mileage was 42,000.
We have (2) 2006 dodge rams and both of them have a broken a/c heater flapper. When the heater or a/c is on most of the aie vents outside.
2006 dodge ram 1500 currently has 63,000 miles. Has had the front struts replaced 3 times, motor was replaced, transmission has been replaced, rack and pinion has been replaced, ball joints have been replaced countless times, tie rods have been replaced, wheel bearings have been replaced approx a yr ago and are defective again. Currently waiting for them since there on nationwide back order the dealership claims. All of these have been under warranty. But i have spent countless $$$ on tires and having to rent a vehicle while this on is in the garage constantly.
Dt*:the contact stated on several occasions, the rear left safety belt tightened so tightly that the passenger was choked.the vehicle was taken to a service dealer who was unable to determine the problem.the vehicle also stalled completely upon starting and removing pressure from the brake pedal but restarted after 45 minutes.the vehicle was again taken to the service dealer who was unable to duplicate the problem.the manufacturer was contacted, but did not provide any follow-up information.
Truck shuts of without warning, during low idle situation, either coming to a stop, or upon entering a turn at low speed, or even at a stop light.idle falls to 500rpms, engine shudders and then shuts off.usually only happens after fuel tank is filled full with gasoline.no check engine codes are present, no malfunctions seemingly present.condition is sporadic, and unpredictable, and can cause loss of control of vehicle, as power steering shuts off.i have taken the truck to a dealership, and have had diagnostics ran on fuel systems, but no apparent reasons exist that could be tested.service dealership recommended replacement of fuel tank, due to check valve malfunction, requiring full fuel tank replacement, but no guarantee of repair of problem.this is a dangerous malfunction,as the issue is sporadic, and happens during operation, usually whenever a turn or a stop is involved.loss of power without notice creates a condition where the driver has to figure out what's going on before reacting, and can cause overruns, or dangers to other vehicles and motorists.
Recently i was driving my 2006 dodge ram 1500 when suddenly while going over a bridge doing 60mph, the truck engine shuts down and the truck dash engine lights come on. Immediately the truck loses its power steering and brakes. It was all i could to hold it to the road and i was headed into oncoming traffic. I barely escaped with my life and now to make matters worse the dealership told me that the engine had seized up and was ruined (not to mention the 36,000 miles warranty had just expired). The cost of a new motor $7,000 not counting labor. I would also like to add that this was the second dodge ram pick-up that did this same thing. I am filing a law-suit immediately and need help anywhere i can get it. The dealership states it will not cover the repair costs. The truck had 49,000 miles on it...ruined!!!..
The ac recirculation dooris brokenwithin the fan chambercausing restricted air floe to heat the interioror to coolbought used this yearand dealer sold with issueeven though it is a known issue'afraid to run heat or acas it may overheat the fan motorcausing a fire.
Multiple problems since day 1. Unresolved vibration issues-related to tires and driveline and alignment. Outer tierod failure. Frt right brake assy failure - near accident , vehicle veered uncontrollably off road at 40mph-towed to dealer.intermittent stalling and hesitating and low oil pressure during operation- truck stalled several occasions while driving - unresolved at this time. Multiple fluid leaksfrom failed vehicle seals and gasket-issue resolved. Vehicle has been to authorized dodge dealers for 9 visits for a total of 45 days down time. In my opinion, this is an unsafe and unreliable vehicle.not eligible for massachusettes strict lemon laws due to being a multitude of different problems.
2006 dodge ram 1500 with several problems. Consumer states that the vehicles main rear engine seal blown. Multi hemi motor has no power. Brakes have been replaced twice, wheel bearings were replaced due to a recall, plus other recalls were fixed.the abs had a minor vibration when the brakes were applied hard. The consumer had air condition, stereo and heater problems.
Air conditioner does not perform correct speeds are to slow 3rd speed feels like 1st and water leaks on floor in front floorboards i think something came loose please let me know of any defects.
Air conditioning, will not blow cold air inside the cabin, a lot of noise but no air.dealer fixed it.flapper got stock in the down position. Not under warranty.
My recirculation door on my 2006 dodge ram 1500 broke the other night for noreason other then adjusting the ac controls. It seems that this seems to be a common problem caused by the recirculation door actuator putting to much torque on the plastic door. I only have 6,00 miles on the truck right now.
At 26,000 miles the blend door for the air system broke (part # 68004226-ab). This caused the vents to be stuck in one position and could not get the defrost to work which became a safety issue since i could not defrost/defog the windshield. The part was replaced under warranty. I am now at 52,000 miles and the same part needs to be repaired again. This time outof warranty and at a cost of $740.
2006 dodge ram 1500 5.7l hemi engines stalls.when traveling below 15mph truck engines stalls.this is the second time it has happened in a month.took it to chrysler dealership said couldn't find anything.check engine light is on.
I have two complaints.i will start with the serious one first.while driving my 2006 dodge ram truck down the interstate, it suddenly shut down.i had no power steering.this was a very dangerous situation trying to steer over to the emergency lane.once over i put the vehicle in park, and it started up, like nothing happen.this happen twice within 2years.i see that the same complaint was filed by another dodge owner(#10270010).im taking my truck to the dealer tomorrow to see what the problem is. The second complaint is the rear middle seat belt locks up and will not release.i see this is also a problem with other owners.complaint #'s 10248480, and 10237215.these problems, especially the first should put on a recall list.

- the contact stated that while driving his 2001 dodge ram 1500 (56000 failure mileage) at 3 mph over a hole on a dirt road, the contact heard a rubbing sound as if the tire was rubbing against the fender. He stopped the vehicle to take a look and found the drive shaft rubbing against the side of the gas tank.the contact proceeded to drive over the hole then the rubbing noise stopped.the contact thinks there is a design flaw in his vehicle because it is a 4 wheel drive and should be able to drive over holes without rubbing against the gas tank.
Engine has a ticking noise, sounds like the lifters tapping when at idle.
I tried to get the scissors jack from under the passenger seat. The handled screw that screws it to the floor would not turn and the jack couldn't be removed. I tried to clean the threads that protrude through the truck's floor, to no avail (fine threads). After removing it later with pliers, i ran a thread die over it, reinstalled it, and painted it.
A recall is definitely in order here for the cabin air blend door breaking, 2006 through 2002 models have had a large number of complaints filed and in 2006 had the most filed yet in 2007 zero complaints filed for this problem , let me explain why. I contacted daimler chrysler filed a complaint and got nowhere, they just don't care about their bad design, or stand behind their product!! i will never buy a product from them again. The air box has an opening with one tab protruding out so when the blend door closes it stops at the tab, well the tab isn't strong enough to receive the impact of the door slamming it and breaks off thus jamming closed or falling off, the engineers at delmar chrysler figured this out and engendered a new box with two tabs so it wont break yet the service dept at the dealers keep replacing the doors and not the entire box (because it's a bigger more expensive job) and that's why some people have had it fixed several times, because they are not fixing it correctly so in turn you then are out of warranty and now it cost the consumer to fix this expensive poorly engineered box that they know is a design flaw.sad, very sad. Daimler chrysler put this newly designed box in their 2007 and newer models and have not one complaint, so why wont they recall these bad design boxes and broken blend doors (which are the number one biggest problem with the 2006 trucks) and put their newly engineered boxes-blend doors in the trucks at their expense not the consumer, delmer chrysler knows they have a bad design and still wont own up to it, we the consumer need to flood their phones until they fix this poorly engineered very expensive problem that they created until they recall it. This problem is a safety issue because you cannot control where the air flow is going like the windshield for visibility in foggy or snowy conditions,forced to pul over cant see, thank you in advance for taking the time and effort putting pressure on them to correct their mistake.
Brakes pressure increases while driving dealer replace 4 times front 2 times rear still brakes fail also tie rods fall off or go bad 2 timeall under 18000 miles also there was other problems with front end hubs ,ect.
The problem started in 2009. Went to drive the truck and could not get the truck to drive over 20 mph. Was able to get it to a dealer close by and had to have the throttle body positioning sensor replaced. Since that date i have had to have this same sensor changed 8 more times. Each time the private mechanic talks to chrysler and they recognize there is a faulty problem with this part and will not recall the item. When this sensor goes out it will not let you drive more than about 20mph. Also had to replace the accelerated pedal positioning sensor 4 times. Blinker problems noted by many other consumers i have also had. Where you turn on the left blinker and the right blinker comes on. As well as the a/c problem many consumers have mentioned the door breaks and then all you have is outside air coming in. My mechanic has tried to get replacement parts from chrysler to repair the problem and chrysler does not sell this part (please explain to me how they can make the vehicle and not sell the part to repair it when it breaks knowing it breaks often). Tie rods have also been a problem with my truck. No matter how tight they are they continue to come loose even after being replaced and then the truck will shake. My main concern at this point is it intermittently will die while driving down the highway. It will start right back up but will die again and then it wont duplicate the problem for 2 or 3 days and then will do it again. Have not been able to diagnose this problem yet. If anyone knows any suggestions to look at please advise.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge ram 1500. The contact stated that the air conditioning unit would jam when an attempt was made to switch the unit to or from defrost. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the blend door actuator and the unit needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact also referenced nhtsa campaign number: 09v158000 (visibility), but the vin was not included. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 110,000.updated 04/04/16*lj
The contact owns a 2006 dodge ram 1500. The contact stated that when he engaged the left turn signal he noticed that the right signal indicator illuminated. The vehicle was not repaired.the failure and current mileages were 36,000. The consumer stated the ac failed twice. Updated 03/02/11
The contact owns a 2006 dodge ram 1500.the contact heard a grumbling noise and the air conditioner stopped working.the dealer stated that a piece of the air conditioning unit fell into the fans and caused more damage to the unit.the repairs were made under warranty.a year later, the contact heard the exact same noise as before and, shortly after, the air conditioning unit failed.the dealer stated that the repairs could be performed at the estimated cost of $800 because the warranty expired.the failure mileage was 31,000 and current mileage was 52,000.
2006 dodge ram 1500 with several problems. Consumer states that the vehicles main rear engine seal blown. Multi hemi motor has no power. Brakes have been replaced twice, wheel bearings were replaced due to a recall, plus other recalls were fixed.the abs had a minor vibration when the brakes were applied hard.

The passenger side headlight does not turn on even after replacement when the headlight switch is in the on position. Dealer has determined that the fault is the tipm (totally integrated power module). Per dealer mfg no longer produces the tipm unit. Per dealer aftermarket no longer manufactures part either. Dealer suggests wrecking yard, however part is a computer based product that still must be reprogrammed by dealer after replacement. This is a safety issue with lighting, and the passenger side headlight will not function without this unit being replaced.
The total integrated power module or fuse box on 2006 dodge rams has a known problem of failing. To replace faulty headlight circuit it will cost 1000 dollar because of this tipm. It has a poor design and dodge should address this issue.
When the left turn signal is activated, immediately the right turn signal engages. The failure occurs intermittently. I've contacted the dealership and was told there is nothing theycan do because the vehicle is out of warranty and manufacturer has not made a recall on my vehicle.this is extremely dangerous especially when entering the interstate.
The tipm needs to be replaced. The headlights went out on me driving to work at 3:00 am (in the morning) pitch black out. Almost wrecked or died. This is not something acceptable. There jhave been many complaints and nothing is being done. Dodge has a problem here and it needs to be fixed now!!!
The contact owns a 2006 dodge ram megacab 1500 4x4. The contact was driving approximately 45 mph and attempting a left turn when the left turn signal failed to illuminate. The failure recurred continuously. The vehicle had not been diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the problem and they advised the contact there were no recalls related to the defect. The approximate failure mileage was 70,000. Updated 4/2/12 the rear left turn signal did not activate at any speed. The consumer stated it was not a bulb issue, but a computer problem. Updated 04/13/12
Driver side low beam head light does not work. Bulb replaced, continued to not be operational. Took to chrysler/dodge deal, who connected a 'code' reader which indicated the problem was the tipm. Tipm was not replaced due to cost & the vehicle was out of warranty due to mileage.
My turn signals do not work at all i replaced the multi switch and still nothing i have been reading on different message boards that they have the same problem so any help would be very greatly appreciated.
My truck's turn signal has malfunctioned and when your signaling to go left the rear left turn signal would not activate including the left rear flashers. Several months ago the dealer reflashed my tipm and it did resolved the issue temporarily. What had happened was that the same incident occurred but instead when activating the left turn signals it would start working for a couple seconds before jumping activating the opposite turn signal(rightside) almost causing a near collision with other vehicles out on the roadways. I am very frustrated and i don't have $1,000.00 to have the dealer replace my tipm which i've found via online on several dodge forums stating that it will definitely rectify and fix the issue.
My husband has a 2006 dodge ram 1500.he is in iraq and only home every 4 months.i do not drive his truck except to the mail box and back once a week to keep the battery going.about 6 months ago the wipers did not want to work.it was not all the time.we thought maybe a glitch.then it was the blinkers.sometimes they would not come on at all and others the opposite blinker would come on.but since he is only home for 2 weeks and it would only happen once or twice we didn't think about it.now the wipers will not come on at all and when you turn the left blinker on the right one comes on.i did not realize it until i was nearly hit by some one trying to pass me on my left while i was trying to make a left turn.i got online to see if there was already a recall for this and saw there are many people with this same complaint.the only tsb i can find is for the dodge ram 3500.also when driving over 50mph the truck will shake violently when you press the brakes.the harder you have to press the brakes the harder the truck shakes.we have replaced the brake pads, calipers, and had the rotors turned.this is costing too much money for maybes and it is scary when you are on the high way in rush hour traffic when this starts happening.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge ram 1500. The contact stated that when using the right turn signal, the left turn light would illuminate instead.

The failure mileage was approximately 54,500. The vin was unavailable.
My 2006 dodge ram truck turns on the wrong turn signal, for instance if i am making a right turn and i push the stalk up, the left turn signal turns on. This is an intermittent problem and sometimes my turn signals work and sometimes they do not. I also have the related problem that i have no control over my windshield wipers. When i turn them on, they will stay on for minutes at a time on a high speed and not turn off. Other times they will only go one or two times and shut off completely while it is pouring rain.
The turn signal switch will occasionally be faulty causing a hazard when turning or switching lanes. When signaling a left turn the right turn signal will come on and when signaling a right turn the signal does not work. I contacted the dealer and they were all out of the part and waiting for inventory to come in.
Tipm issue:low beam on driver's side went out while driving at night in a rural area; after buying 3 new bulbs @ $16/each with no luck, having system scanned by auto parts store with no luck, took to a dealer who said it was a know tipm issue and would cost upwards of $1,200 to fix, however part is on backorder due to the number of trucks needing them; flashing the system apparently was not an option; commented it was not a recall item as it was not a safety concern. How are losing your lights unexpectedly not a safety concern, not to mention the rest of the issues this tipm is known to cause after this one...it is the brain of the entire truck. I am now driving with high beams on praying the rest of the computer system is not in jeopardy while trying to resolve.
I had my daughter out for drivers training when all of a sudden the turn signals stopped working.we pulled into a parking lot and checked fuses but found no problem.i took over driving and the signals started working by there selves.a week later i was at a stop sign turning right all of a sudden the left turn signal started flashing alternate of the right flashing.then they stopped working all together.when i restarted the truck the turn signals started working again.yesterday the signals would work once and then stop working until i would restart the truck.the dealership said they could not diagnose the problem until the signals acted up so they could see it.i guess it's time to go to the dealer and get it fixed.
When i put my left turn signal on, sometimes the right blinker comes on. There is also an issue with the windshield wipers not turning to high speed.
Dodge ram 1500 2006 - turn signal problems.on occasion the turn signals show opposite exterior lighting when used.for example, turn switch to left or counter clockwise, the right side exterior signals will light up.sometimes they do not work at all and thehazards will not work either.this is a very significant safety issue.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge ram 1500. The contact stated was driving 15 mph and activated the left turn signal however, the right turn signal light flashed instead. The failure was the same when the right turn signal was activated.the dealer was contacted and advised that there were no recalls and they would have to replace the multi function switch at a cost to the contact. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 121,000.
I was attempting to make a left turn off the highway, and when i signalled for a left turn with the turn signal, the instrument cluster showed a signal for right turn.i pulled into the left turn lane, and the car which was behind me and continuing straight slowed down and refused to go by me, even though i was in the left turn lane and they had a clear path ahead.this indicated to me that the taillights were also indicating a right turn.there was no accident as a result of this, but the normal flow of traffic on the highway was disrupted.since this incident, i have watched closely and the multifunction switch has done the same thing several times intermittently.we live near a busy highway in the country, and often when someone is slowing down to make a right turn, the traffic behind will pass on the left.if someone is actually making a left turn, but the signal is showing right, this could lead to a fatal collision.i contacted chrysler, and they simply told me to get it fixed and hang onto the receipts in case there is a recall.i also found that 2006 dodge 3500 pickups did have an extended warranty on the multifunction switch for this reason.
The problem first occurred at highway speeds where the signal fails to operate, operates the opposite signal of what the driver selected or alternates rapidly both turn signals.additionally when this happens the high speed on the wipers and the hazards fail as well.the problem now occurs sitting still or any speed, it appears to be a bad multifunction switch.this is definitely a dangerous and from what i've read, far to common a problem.
I have a 2006 dodge ram 1500trx4. I have a serious issue with my blinkers and windshield wipers.if i turn my left blinker on, my right blinkers comes on a few times, then my left a few times, then both, and next they don't work at all.it is the same result if i turn on my left blinker, while all of this is happening my windshield wipers come on and it usually washes my windshield.it happens 9 out of 10 times i try to use a turn signal. The issue started back in march of 07 but happened very rarely, lately it is happening more frequently. This is a very serious safety issue and chrysler will not do anything about it.i have read many complaints online about this issue.should this not be a recall?
The contact owns a 2006 dodge ram 1500. The contact stated that the turn signals, windshield wipers, and hazard lights failed intermittently. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who performed a diagnostic test, but was unable to duplicate the failure. The dealer replaced the multi functional switch, but the failure was not remedied. The failure continued. The vehicle was not repaired a second time. The failure mileage was 40,000 and the current mileage was 64,200.
The turn signals and wipers on my 2006 dodge ram 1500 are not working properly. Nothing happens when i move the switch up, and when i move it down, the right blinker comes on. The wipers don't work properly, and sometimes they don't work at all. These are all controlled by the toggle switch on the left side of the steering column. Today 7/29/2010 i was driving through a heavy down pour and the wipers stopped as described. The problems have been occurring for 1 and 1/2 weeks. I have read online of others having the same problems, and the fix is a new switch.
The turn signal multiswitch malfunctions constantly. Sometimes both signals flash when your turning one way other times it is just the opposite side flashes. This is a major saftey issue that chrysler should have to recall. It could very easily cause an accident if another driver thinks you are turning the opposite way than you are going to turn. Needs a recall, many blogs on line talking about this!
Much like the ram 3500, the turn signal on my2006 ram 1500 began malfunctioning several months ago and continues to do so intermittently.at times, the left turn signal turns on the right blinker; other times, the opposite happens - left turns on right.still other times, the multi-function switch does nothing at all.in response to similar complaints about the 3500, chrysler has voluntarily issued an extended warranty on this issue for the 2006 model year.they should do the same for 1500 models as well as this is a very distracting and an obviously serious potential safety hazard.
My 2006 dodge ram pick up has had intermittent problems with the wiper blades coming on, or not, slowing down or speeding up with out assistance from the operator. Last week my turn signals started to act up. I turn the left signal on, it shows up inside and out as a right turn, or nothing at all. My emergency flashers are not working either. I had to turn them on and only the right blinker came on, then everything shut down. I can not count on making a lane change safely, i can not count on my wipers working in the rain, and if i have an emergency stop, i can not use my emergency flashers.
The turn signal will intermittently malfunction, causing the right indicator to blink though the lever is in the down position which when operational should signal the left indicator.this is a serious safety concern for myself as i have had multiple instances where i'm positioned in the left turn lane attempting to execute a left turn and signaling to oncoming traffic my intentions only to have the right blinker activate and cause traffic to stop abruptly in the lane i just exited.i am not only exposing myself to a rear end collision but i am also exposing the unsuspecting driver being incorrectly signaled to the same potential fate. The inability to caution oncoming traffic of my intentions also creates a potentially hazardous situation in that my turn could startle them causing them to turn sharply or stop abruptly.both could have detrimental impact provided the conditions are less than perfect in a state that commonly has severe winter weather.
When driving trying to change lanes i tried to signal right and my left turn signal came on then the turn signalswere alternatingback and forth. This has been happening on and off for quite a few years it will start working again then later break again.
2006 dodge ram truckturning on the wrong turn signal, for instance you are making a right turn and you push the stalk up, the left turn signal turns on.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge ram 1500. While driving approximately 40 mph, the contact activated the left turn signal and the right turn signal illuminated. The flashing hazard lights also did not function. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer for diagnostics or repairs. The vin was not available. The approximate failure mileage was 65,000.
While sitting at a red light turned on the left blinker and after a few seconds the blinker switched to blinking for the right both inside in the dash and outside at the front and rear and the indicator switch was still in the left turn position very dangerous has happened several time since date shown.
I have an 2006 dodge megacab with only 40,000 miles since we hit 34,000 miles the turn signals work intermittently or not at all. Recently my wife was on the freeway and activated the right turn signal indicator and the left blinker came on she was nearly hit by a fast approaching driver from behind. I contacted chrysler corp. And filed a complaint a rep called me and stated they would by happy to cover the cost of the part if it was deemed defective by and authorized tech i would however have to cover the service fees. I explained to her that our current financial situation would not allow this and in essence this was a defective part and the manufacturer should stand behind their product she gave me the impression that they were not concerned this was an issue or even a safety issue. I stated that the repercussions of such short sightedness could be fatal for some unfortunate chrysler product owners if this is not addressed immediately as i have noticed a growing number of online forum complaints regarding this very issue. All we ask is that this issue be addressed as a recall issue and repairs be completed satisfying customer requests to ensure a safer driving experience. Here is my ref #1974126 in deference to my complaint to chrysler corp.
I activated my left turn signal but noticed that my right turn signal indicator light was blinking.this problem nearly caused an accident.the problem occurs approximately 90% of the time (when using turn signal).also, my wipers have begun malfunctioning (turn signal and wiper switch located together on steering column).i do not know how to correct the problem (vehicle out of warranty).
I signaled for a left hand turn and after about 2 seconds the blinker went from left to right.now whenever i signal for a left hand turn, the blinker goes left then right after a few seconds.

Wire harness in rear driver side door was found completely severed inside boot from frame to door.effects window, door locks, dome light operation, and speaker.presence of voltage can cause fire if aching occurs.
Turn signals malfunction. When signaling for left turn, right signal operates.
My truck has been having safety issues over time. Most recently having over-heating issues and engine problems since february 2018. The electrical issues happened since last year,dashboard no longer lights up. My one of my front head lights no longer lights up. Ive changed it several times and it still goes out. My driver seat beat no longer buckles.
Turn signal malfunctions.when left turn is selected, sometimes right signal flasher comes on, sometimes no turn signal comes on, sometimes it works correctly.the problem is intermittent.when right turn signal is selected, right signal flasher works normally.the problem is very dangerous as i had someone pass me on the left while i was making a left turn because my right signal was on due to the malfunction.

The failure and current mileages were 60,000. The vin was unavailable.
Turn signals fail to work completely, or right turn signal will activate while using left signal or vise-versa. Headlights will fail while this "multi-function switch" shorts out. No wipers, no turn signals, no lights.
Purchased a new 2006 dodge quad cap at 33,000 miles the turn signal switch malfunctioned (if you signal to turn right the left signal would come on, and vise-versa, high beam would not turn off after getting it turned on, windshield wipers, would turn while signaling, and stop periodically during rain storms). The dealer replaced the faulty switch, and at 54,000 miles the switch malfunctioned again, and is doing same things.
The blinker switch on my 2006 1500 ram doesn't work.when i flip the switch to turn right the left blinker comes on.sometimes no blinker comes on.also, at times, when i turn the wipers on they don't always come on and when they do come on they don't always turn off after turning them off.
Multi-function turn signal/windshield wiper control handle on left side of steering wheel column. The defect was causing the turn signals to flash right to left when in the right turn position. I took it in for repair just a day or two after noticing the problem. The dealer service writer said there was a short in the switch and they replaced it. The vehicle was approximately two months out of warranty and my bill was approximately $300.00. I believe this to be a safety issue and would expect functioning equipment for more than three years/36000 miles. My vehicle had 35,000 miles on it at the time of repair. I was not offered the old part.
The switch on my 2006 dodge ram that controls the turn signal, wipers and light dimmer does not function properly.it turns the opposite signal on that i have specified, my wipers shut off while driving and it will not allow me to dim my headlights.driving in the rain is very difficult and turning becomes a problem becasue i never know what signal will turn on.i spoke with mechanics at a dealership who informed me that the problem is so common that the mulit function switch is now referred to as the malfunction switch.
Turn signal problem - sometimes the wrong signal blinks causing other drivers to misunderstand my intent.
Right low beam fails to light. Bulb has been replaced. Socket is good. Failure is in tipm. Appears to be a common problem in 06 to 08 dodge trucks. Dealer charge $750 to $900 to replace and reprogram tipm unit. This is an extravagant charge for an item that should last the life of the vehicle.
When turn left turn signal on right turn signal comes on and vice versa. Windshield wipers sometimes will only work on low speed.
Turn signals fail to operate correctly .when left turn signal switch is operated the right signal flashes ..the windshieldwipers fail to operate...
The contact owns a 2006 dodge ram 1500.the contact stated that the turn signals and the hazard lights were inoperable.the dealer advised the contact that there were no recalls for the failure and to bring the vehicle in for diagnostic testing.the vehicle was not inspected or repaired.the manufacturer was made aware of the failure however, did not offer any assistance.the current mileage was 65,000 and the approximate failure mileage was 64,995.

Turn signal problems. I turn on the turn signals and either they don't work or you never know which one will come on. Sometimes nothings works and other times you turn on a turn signal and the 4 ways come on. Today 5/13/10 while in heavy traffic i was going to make a right turn,put on the right turn signal and nothing worked,turned on the left signal and the right one came on..now i made my turn and i cant get turn signal to go off. Drove that way for 5 miles when turn signal went off by itself.
Winding noise at low speed also have problem with head light it don't turn on (driver side ) directional door for a/c heather broken.
2006 dodge mega cab w/ hemi. When the blinkers are turned on ( left or right) they blink in the wrong direction or do not blink at all. On my truck they started about 1 month ago and are increasingly getting worse. Now every turn they are sure to mess up. This could be a very serious issue if another vehicle think you are turning 1 way and you are actual turning another. This needs to be recalled..........
I have a 2006 dodge 1500 and my blinkers and my windshield wipers are not working properly. When i signal to turn left the right blinker comes on. And the windshield wipers on low start going really fast. This is very frustrating. It started at about 69,000 miles.
I have a 2006 dodge ram 1500 quad cab truck.i have had this problem since shortly after i purchased the truck.the turn signals and the wipers intermittently do not work.also, if i put on the left turn signal the right one goes on most of the time.from research i have done this is due to a faulty multi function switch that controls the turn signals, wipers and hazard lights.the dealer has replaced this switch twice under warranty and will not replace it now that it is out of warranty.this is a real safety hazard especially when the wipers stop working driving in the rain.i have researched this problem and there are thousands of posts on the internet with people having the same problems.there needs to be a recall for this.it is a real safety issue that needs to be fixed.
Multi function switch intermittent failure causing turn signals to operate incorrectly, wipers and other functions also effected, occasionally causing truck to quit running along with gauges and information display to not work correctly.
The tail light function of the trailer wiring harness stopped functioning. Still have use of brake and turn lights. This is hard to catch on a visual test since i usually check turn and brake functions. Towed for weeks before i was told of the malfunction. Therefore cannot see trailer at night. Dealership could not fix problem.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge ram 1500. The contact stated that the turn signals malfunctioned. When signaling to turn left, the right turn signal would illuminate instead and vice versa. The dealer was contacted and advised him to bring the vehicle in for inspection. The manufacturer was also contacted and advised the contacts that he would need to take the vehicle to the dealer for diagnosis before they would be able to provide any assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 23,000.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge ram 1500.the contact stated that the multi-function switch for the turn signals, washer and wipers, headlights and bright lights would fail intermittently and operated inaccurately.the dealer and the manufacturer were notified of the failure, but denied any assistance with repairs to the vehicle.the vehicle was not repaired.the failure mileage was 48,000 and the current mileage was 77,000.
The turn signal on the vehicle began activating the wrong signal. At times the signal will not work at all. At other times it signals the opposite direction i am attempting to turn. The signal switch also controls my high beams and windshield wipers. Both of these are also affected at times by the problem. I am very concerned anyone of these issues could cause a serious accident.
Turned on turn signal for a left hand turn and right signal started flashing then it flashed left and right then finally left. It has been doing this same thing for either direction you signal every so often . The hazard lights flash left and right alternately when activated once and awhile.
2006 dodge ram 1500left turn signal turns on right turn signal as well. Almost caused huge accident on freeway.found out this is a very common problem.why is this not recalled?everyone is having this problem!!!!
For more than 1 year, the tachometer in my dodge ram has functioned intermittently.on 3/25/15i noticed that the driver-side low-beam headlight bulb was out.i replaced the bulb without effect.my mechanic diagnosed the tipm module as the culprit for both the headlight and tachometer failure.he will replace the module, at a cost of roughly $1000, when a replacement can be obtained.it is estimated that it will be at least 4 weeks from the time of diagnosis before that replacement tipm will be available.in the meantime, i must drive my truck with only one headlight and then i will have to pay more than $1000 to have this repaired.
Turn signals began to randomly blink on either side (or both sides) regardless which directional signal was being used.code reader at dealership showed problem with tipm.
Turn signal blinks opposite of direction the switch is on. I was turning left and a car almost hit me when i turned left. I noticed my signal was blinking on the right indicator light on the dash.i have now noticed it does it quite a lot.
Driver's side turn signal intermittently does not work.started when brake pedal was pushed.works, then stops working when brakes are pushed and continues not to work after that.this is a safety issue and there are 100s if not 1,000s of people that have reported turn signal problems on the 2006 dodge ram.this is a safety issue!!please make them fix this, because they obviously have no respect for their namebrand and don't care about their customers.check out this linkhttp://vlane.com/discuss-topic/1336/2006-dodge-ram-turn-signal-problem.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge ram 1500. The contact stated that the driver side turn signal light failed to signal and the driver side brake light failed to illuminate. The failure only occurred when towing another vehicle. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 80,000.
When u turn the signals on they go the opposite way or completely go off it causes the break lights to goout as well this is a major safety issue and can result in a crash this should have been recalled along time ago why haven't you done anything i my self feel this is a major safety issue it gives everyone a false direction and results "wreck" i have had multiple incidents with this it happens frequently i have replaced bulbs and it is not the problem the problem is in the factory screw up.
We went for a drive to medora nd. Where we spent the night and after we left to return home on hwy 94 when i was pulled over by a state highway patrol. The officer said i hadn't turned my signal on.i told her that i had and while she getting my information i was checking out my signals they would work and then they wouldn't then i turned on the left signal and the right would come on when it turned the right the right worked fine.i turned the four way flasher the left signal would come on. Weird. When the officer came back to the truck i told her there is something wrong with my signals.she said that i should take in and have it checked out.so i am now waiting to get it into the dodge dealership.they are really messed up nothing works as it should. I have noticed after doing a search that many dodge pickups have the same issue.i hope this will help encourage a recall for this vehicle.
When trying to signal a left turn using the multifunction switch on the steering wheel, the right blinkers turn on.
I own a 2006 dodge ram quad cab 1500 4x4 that has been having repeated problems with the multi-function switch that controls the wipers and the turn signals.several times while driving in the rain this issue has happened to were i have had my children in the truck with me and had to pull off the road because of not being able to see because of the wipers not working and in doing so drove into the median causing me to puncture the left front tire.i had to do this because i didn't want to have or cause an accident.my vehicle has been in the shop twice over this problem and it still isn't fixed.what does it take to get something done about this!there has been several, and i mean several complaints over this same part.does it take someone being killed or seriously injured before someone is held liable.i spent several thousand dollars on this truck, along with an extended warranty, but there is no price tag for loss of life do to someone not being held accountable for their equipment.please, we need something done to remedy this problem that millions of dodge owners are being forced to deal with.please don't let loss of life be the reason for a change because then it's too late.
I have a 2006 dodge ram 1500 and the multifunction switches go out very early. It causes the turn signals to come on in the opposite direction intended, and causes the windshield wipers to slow or cut off completely out of no where.
2006 dodge ram turn signal switch, when activated for left turn both turn signals flash or will completely shut off. When activating windshield wipers during rain they sometimes turn off by themselves and i have to fiddle with the switch to get them going again while driving down the road.went to dealer they want $300.00 to fix it since its not a safety issue, wipers turning off in the rain is not a safety issue?
I own 2006 dodge ram 1500 mega cab the turn signal and wiper switch works at best some of the time it is impossible to use the turn signals when they are turned on they just go haywire and the windshield wipers have to be turned on and of to get to work then they stop.trying to get dodge to fix the issue..
2006 dodge ram 1500 quad cab.132000 km.indicated left but right indicator light came.now also both sides flash intermittently when indicating either direction.nearly had a major accident when following vehicle misintepreted my intentions and just missed overtaking me on the wrong side.i understand several other cases of this have been reported on this vehicle and should be a n urgent safety recall!
Turn signal randomly flashes the opposite direction than indicated. Also will flash back and forth between left and right when either the left or right turn signal is turned on.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge ram 1500.the contact heard a loud grinding noise coming from the front passenger side wheel bearing while driving.in addition, when activating the right turn signal, the left turn signal would illuminate and when she activated the left turn signal, the right turn signal would illuminate.sporadically, both turn signals would become inoperable.the dealer advised the contact that her vin was not included in the recall associated with nhtsa campaign id number:07v038000 (suspension:front:wheel bearing ) and offered no further assistance.the manufacturer was made aware of the failure.no repairs were performed nor was the vehicle diagnosed for the failure.the current and the failure mileages were 69,579.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge ram 1500. The contact stated the turn signals would not function properly. The right turn signal would activate upon engaging the left turn signal.

Driver side headlight stopped working. High beam works but low beam does not. Replaced bulb 3 times and still won't work..
My name is [xxx]and i own a 2006 dodge ram 1500 pickup truck. After purchasing the truck i noticed that every once in a while when i pressed the turn indicator down to turn left, the right turn indicator light would turn on. This happened once or twice a day. A few weeks later this was happening everytime i drove, also the windshield wipers would only stay on low speed. I took the vehicle to a mechanic, and he "re-set" the system. Well, this worked for only a couple days. I had paid the mechanic a large sum of money to fix the problem so i could not afford to take the vehicle back. I drove around with this faulty turn indicator problem for around 6 months. This problem was such a nuisance for me, and not to mention illegal! everytime i took a left turn i would have to place my arm out the window and turn. This was such an embarrassment for me. Finally i took the dodge ram truck to a dodge dealership, and they informed me that the problem was that i had a faulty "multifunction switch" and that it would cost $263.00 to replace. So i gladly paid the money and go it fixed due to the un-safe turn indicator problem. I have been searching the internet for this problem and found that several people have had this "turn indicator" problem, and it seems to be that chrysler had installed faulty "multifunction switches" in their 06 dodge ram pickup trucks. I am asking you to please issue a recall on these faulty "multifunction switches" in the 06 dodge ram trucks before someone gets seriously injured or loses their life. Thank youinformation redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
On my 2006 dodge ram 1500 i hit a pot hole in the road i thought that it just blowed the bulb i replaced the bulb that did not help the light burns on high beam but not low beam mechanic told me it could be the control module have not replaced pot hole should have not caused that to malfuntion.problem is still there. Also heater /ac blower motor went out now i have one speed and that's high speed i replaced the motor.
High beams will not work only low beams work while running down highway.

My 2006 dodge ram 1500 is having issues with the signals and wipers.serious problem when i am driving in the rain and my left blinker says i'm turning right and vice versa.wipers not working at all. I was caught in the rain today and manually had to flip my wipers and signals almost caused a wreck.
Turn signal lever doesn't work properly.
I have a 2006 dodge ram quad cab and recently the turn signal / wiper switch has been acting up.quite often when i push down to turn the left turn signal on the right comes on and there are times when no turn signal comes on at all. I was almost rear-ended because of this.also sometimes the wipers will not come out of intermittent no matter what setting i have them on.again this almost caused an accident because during a heavy rainstorm all that i couldget to work was intermittent.i have read online of other 2006 dodge ram owners having these same issues.this is a huge safety concern and should be recalled.
My 2006 dodge ram 1500 had the turn signals fail.first when i told it to turn right, it blinked left.then it stopped working.it rotates to whatever it wants randomly and usually shows an incorrect direction.i'm safer not using a turn signal than showing a left and going right.i can't use hand signals at night and most people don't understand why i'm putting my arm out the window anyway.this is a major safety issue on this vehicle.this occurs all the time now.it was intermittent (problematic for one trip) then it would fix itself for a few days.dodge dealer says they don't know what is wrong or never heard of it.
The turn signal on 2006 dodge ram 1500 fails on daily basis.turn signal to left and it turns on right signal. Push indicator forward for bright lights and it turns on windshield washer and wipers.this issue has been going on for approximately two months, daily.
On a 2006 dodge ram when u turn the left turn signal on u might get right left or both and it messes with windshield wipers to not good when raining or turning.
After owning a dodge 1500 2006 mega cab for 4 years had to replace the multi function switch it stopped working had no wipers high beamsor signals. 5 years later have the same thing happen seems like an on going problem with these switches. When the don't work make it a safety issue due to no wipers, signals, or high beams...
Turning on the wrong turn signal, for instance you are making a left turn and you push the stalk down, the right turn signal turns on.
The interior light stays on for mere seconds, then shuts off. This is the interior light that turns on when the door is opened or the push button to turn on is pushed. After a few seconds, the light shuts off.
Turn signals not working correctly, turn on left signal and they both flash or the right signal flashes but never the left signal.
This first started a few years after i got the truck which i bought new. Occasionally when i would turn on my left turn signal, the right or both would come on. This would also make my windshield wipers not function correctly. Dealer replaced the multi function switch. Same thing happened 3 more times over the next few years. Now its happening again.i have narrowly avoided 2 accidents because of this happening. Next, the heater/ac only works through the defrost vents. In the summer when using ac the windshield starts to freeze on the inside. Causing visibility issues. Also when using heat or ac the tachometer bounces around not reading correctly. All these electrical problems concern me. Just waiting for the truck to catch fire going down the road!! dodge has not been much of a help. $300 a piece for multi function switch. $800 to fix the heater. And they can't figure our the tachometer. I have sent videos of the tachometer messing up, complained about the milking function switch. But nothing. All these problems definitely affect the safety. Please help. Lots of other people have the same problems.
06 dodge ram turn signal indicates different direction than intended when making turns. Had several close calls in 08 before realizing what was wrong. Wipers also malfunction ninety % of the time. Have not repaired these problems just use a lot of rainx but not my turn signals.
Turn signals operate sporadically. Moving the turn signal stalk to signal a left turn can result in no flashing of the left turn signal but improper flashing of the right turn signal. Likewise when moving the turn signal stalk to signal a right turn the signal will not flash or sometimes will incorrectly signal left.this improper signal appears at both the dashboard indicator light and at the exterior front and rear turn signal lighting positions. Additionally the wiper blades have begun failing to operate when needed.when selecting an on position on the turn signal stalkthe wipers will sometimes stutter across the windshield or sometimes no move at all.when the vehicle was under factory warranty the multifunction switch was replaced.this fixed the problem the first time.the vehicle is having the same problem again but is now out of warranty.factory repair claims it will be the same replacement at owner cost.the problems happen intermittently, and can not be reproduced at will.over time, however, they are happening more frequently.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge ram 1500.the contact stated that the when the right turn signal was engaged, the left turn light would illuminate and when engaging the left turn signal, the right turn light would illuminate. In addition, the windshield wipers would also activate intermittently without being engaged.the contact stated that the battery failed and was replaced numerous times. The dealer was in the process of repairing the vehicle.the manufacturer was not made aware of the electrical failures.the failure mileage was 33,000 and the current mileage was 35,000.
Well some times the wipers will not work or do not work properly and the signals are completely different than chosen it does this most all the time i can press forward on the switch lever sometimes and get it to work properly but sometimes it does not.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge ram 1500. The contact stated that both turn signals and the windshield wipers failed. If the left signal was engaged the right signal would come on. When the right was engaged the left signal would come on. Whenever the windshield wipers were on they would automatically switch to a high or low mode intermittently. The dealer or manufacturer werecontacted. The failure mileage was 110,000.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge ram 1500.when the contact activated the driver's side turn signal, the passenger side turn signal became activated instead.another vehicle nearly crashed into him due to the failure.the failure was noticed while driving 10 mph.the vehicle was towed to the dealer and is in the process of being diagnosed.the failure mileage was 25,000 and current mileage was 26,283. Updated 3/16/09 the turn signal control was replaced in thee steering. Updated 03/19/09.
I have a 2006 dodge ram 1500 and the turn signals do not work correctly. The truck was functioning properly before and there has not been any changes or accidents to the vehicle that could have caused it.when you turn the right signal on, it will blink a few times, then the left will blink a few times, or it will go back and forth like a police car. Some times both will blink at the same time. Some times it has a strobe light effect. My truck had 70k miles on it when it started and it happens every day. It might not happen every time i turn the blinker on, but it does happen every day. It has made driving very dangerous, becausevehicles will cut me off because they are unable to determine what my turn signals are telling them. It makes it dangerous to change lanes and turn at intersections. Driving at night is even worse. This is a safety issue and should be recalled. I have done online research and found that it is a very common problem with this year and model truck. The solution to the problem is to replace the turn signal switch in the steering column. I called my local dodge dealership and they said it would cost around 500 dollars to fix. I highly stress thatthis issue be addressed. I strongly suggest this issue be addresses as it is only a matter of time until a serious crash will be caused by the malfunction.
Currently my dodge ram 1500 is having a problem with the multifunction turn signal.if you try to signal a turn the wrong blinker comes on, if you try to turn your high beams on or off the washer fluid comes on, if you try to turn the windshield wipers on they rarely work often getting stuck in the intermittent phase.i first found this problem when my windshield wipers would not come on in a flash thunderstorm while i was traveling on a highway at 65 mph.this is going to cause an accident, if you look there are too many people having this same problem for dodge to ignore it.if an accident occurs i will be taking any legal actions i can to make dodge liable, i just hope that nobody is hurt or killed before it is too late.
Turn signal malfunction. When i move turn signal lever for left turn, the right turn lamps flash.sometimes it does not signal at all.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge ram 1500. The contact stated that the turn signals malfunctioned. When the right turn signal was engaged, the left turn light would flash and when the right turn signal was engaged, the left turn signal light would flash. The vehicle was not inspected. The vin was not available. The failure mileage was unknown, but the current mileage was 99,000.
I was driving on the highway and attempting to change lanes , i pulled down my turn signal yoke to engage the signal and changed lanes - approx 500 yards later i was pulled over by a state highway patrolman who explained that i never signaled when i changed lanes. After assuring him that i did we explored the possibility that my lights were out - after going through all the motions we concluded that my lights worked fine but for some reason , my turn signals would randomly decide not to work and work at other times for no reason. The officer let me go with a warning and a promise to look into the situation right away. After doing some research , i have found many other people with the same problem from the same automaker - dodge needs to recall all of their 2006 ram's and replace their defective parts. I believe ( from what i have read) it is the multi-function switch that needs the replacing. This is a major safety concern if people are thinking that their turn signals are working properly and in fact they are not - if it is concern enough to warrant a failed inspection from a dealership or state mandated law , why does dodge believe that it is not necessary for them to replace their mistakes ? this is going to get people killed !!!!!
Turn signals fail to work completely, or right turn signal will activate while using left signal or vise-versa. Headlights will fail while this "multi-function switch" shorts out. No wipers, no turn signals, no lights.
Right turn signal illuminates when left turn signal is activated and vise versa.
There has be a number of occasions this has happened about probably 100 times but paid not much attention until this winter. The turn signal level is also used to turn on the wipers on the vehicle. The problem arises when the vehicle lights are turned on, the wipers are on, and the turn signal are turned on. For no reason the turn signal from the opposite side of the vehicle is the one that operates. Normally when you are turning to the right the turn signal does not turn on andthe left side signal turn on. In order to alleviate this problem i have to turn the wipers off completely. This causes a problem because this impairs visibility an also is giving other drivers the wrong signals. I have no idea what caused this issue but since i reside in the state of virginia it is a requirement that when it rains you must turn your lights and wipers this has caused me a problems since i depend on this vehicle and when it snows or rain i cannot operate the vehicle. I am taking the vehicle to the dodge dealer tomorrow to see what is the problem. I have not caused any accidents. Some drivers had got aggravated since some times i give them the wrong turn signals. The incidents have occurred many times in the last 8 months and i have noted that is getting more frequent since we have got more snow and rain in the north east i whish i can provide specific dated but it has happened so many times that i got tired of it and i am taking the vehicle to the dealer tomorrow. I am putting today as the most current date.
I have a 2006 dodge ram 1500 slt that when you turn the left turn signal on the right turn signal flashes. When you turn the windshield wipers on the fastest speed is delay. The problem was happening once in awhile now it is happening on a daily basis. Took it to a dodge dealership they couldn't find any problem but did change the multifunction switch.
Head light switch will not turn lights on an off, does not matter if stationary or in motion.
No incident prior to failure. Head lights failed while driven at night on the express way at 65 mph, given no prior notice that it will fail. Dealer was contacted and will be replaced.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge ram 1500. While driving various speeds, the low beam headlights became inoperable. The vehicle was taken to an unknown dealer where it was diagnosed that the fuse panel needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 214,552.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge ram 1500. The vehicle was experiencing two recurring failures.while driving at any speed the turn signals either would not function or the opposite turn signal from which he intended to turn on would illuminate.he also stated that when the high beams were engaged and then turned off, the windshield wiper fluid would activate.the vehicle was not taken to be examined for the cause of failure and was not repaired.the failures continued to recur intermittently.the failure mileage was 22,000 and the current mileage was 25,000.the vin was unavailable.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge ram 1500. While driving approximately between 45-50 mph proceeding to change lanes, the contact engaged the left turn signal but the right turn signal responded. In addition, the same failure occurred when using the right turn signal. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer twice where the battery cable was disconnected and then reconnected. Also, the computerized system was updated. Both faulty turn signals continued to malfunction. The failure mileage was approximately 24,000.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge ram 1500. While driving approximately 70 mph, the contact noticed that when engaging the left turn signal, the right turn signal light would illuminate. The contact stated that the failure recurred intermittently and became a constant failure as time progressed. The emergency lights would also flash on and off intermittently. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer for diagnostics testing and the manufacturer was not contacted. The vehicle was not repaired. The vin was unavailable. The approximate failure mileage was 50,000.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge ram 1500. While the contact was driving approximately 55 mph approaching a turn, the right turn signal was engaged; however the left turn signal responded. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The malfunction continued to occur. The manufacturer was notified of the malfunction. The approximate failure mileage was 45,000.
When activating left turn signal, the right signal lights up.sometimes no signal lights come on at all.this caused a minor accident. And several close callsi see a tsb for the 3500, but not the 1500, sb-08-011-09, nhtsa item number : 10030905
Turn signal malfunction. Left one would make the right turn signal come on, right turn signal would make the flashers come on.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge ram 1500. When the vehicle slowed down with the left signal onthe right signal also came on. He stated at times they both began blinking intermittently. The failure had occurred for approximately three months. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who did not have the parts to repair it.he was advised by the dealer to notify them the next time he took the vehicle in to be service so that they could order the part. The contact was unable to provide a vin. The failure mileage was 86,500 and the current mileage was 87,300.
The problem started in 2009. Went to drive the truck and could not get the truck to drive over 20 mph. Was able to get it to a dealer close by and had to have the throttle body positioning sensor replaced. Since that date i have had to have this same sensor changed 8 more times. Each time the private mechanic talks to chrysler and they recognize there is a faulty problem with this part and will not recall the item. When this sensor goes out it will not let you drive more than about 20mph. Also had to replace the accelerated pedal positioning sensor 4 times. Blinker problems noted by many other consumers i have also had. Where you turn on the left blinker and the right blinker comes on. As well as the a/c problem many consumers have mentioned the door breaks and then all you have is outside air coming in. My mechanic has tried to get replacement parts from chrysler to repair the problem and chrysler does not sell this part (please explain to me how they can make the vehicle and not sell the part to repair it when it breaks knowing it breaks often). Tie rods have also been a problem with my truck. No matter how tight they are they continue to come loose even after being replaced and then the truck will shake. My main concern at this point is it intermittently will die while driving down the highway. It will start right back up but will die again and then it wont duplicate the problem for 2 or 3 days and then will do it again. Have not been able to diagnose this problem yet. If anyone knows any suggestions to look at please advise.

I own a 2006 dodge ram 1500, purchased brand new, 40,000 miles on it now.for the past several months, i have had an increasingly frequent problem with the turn signal switch.when the turn signal is activated, sometimes nothing works at all.sometimes the wrong signal comes on.sometimes the hazard lights and windshield wipers don't work when the turn signal is activated.this occurs about 1 out of every 4 times.in researching this online, i am finding many other dodge truck owners experiencing the same issues.i contacted the dodge recall center, inquiring about possibly recalls on this and was told there are none.it is my understanding that the problem lies in the multi function switch located within the turn signal indicator and it is my opinion that with so many people reporting the same problem with fairly new vehicles, dodge should replace the defective switch at no cost to the owner.

While refueling truck, gas nozzle at gas station kept triggering off and causing fuel to spray out.this happened at a number of different gas stations.i brought the truck to dodge dealer and was advised today that the gas tank has to be replaced because of bad check valves.truck is not under warranty nor there is any recalls on it for this.i heard of this problem with other dodge cars and trucks.i believe and want an investigation and a recall for this because of the fuel spraying out and possibly causing serious injury, fire and maybe even death because of their faulty fuel tanks.the truck is only 5 years old and has only approx 43k miles on it.

Roll over valve is cracked in 2006 dodge ram 1500 pickup truck gas tank.the check engine light came on at about 75,000 miles (8/09) butthe cracked roll over valve was not identified until4 visits later, about 79,000miles (10/09). Computer codes do not readily identify the cracked roll over valve.the gas tank has to be replaced because the roll over valve is built in. Dodge will not cover a new gas tank under warranty.it is not a usual procedure to replace gas tanks and i wanted to report this defect in the roll over valve. A quick search of the internet found recalls on 2006 model 2500 and 3500 seriesgas tanks for pickup trucks but none for the 1500 series trucks. Have other complaints for cracked roll over valves been file? i am in the process of scheduling gas tank replacement with in the next week.do you want the old tank for inspection or have a representative look at it when it is removed from the truck?
Truck shuts of without warning, during low idle situation, either coming to a stop, or upon entering a turn at low speed, or even at a stop light.idle falls to 500rpms, engine shudders and then shuts off.usually only happens after fuel tank is filled full with gasoline.no check engine codes are present, no malfunctions seemingly present.condition is sporadic, and unpredictable, and can cause loss of control of vehicle, as power steering shuts off.i have taken the truck to a dealership, and have had diagnostics ran on fuel systems, but no apparent reasons exist that could be tested.service dealership recommended replacement of fuel tank, due to check valve malfunction, requiring full fuel tank replacement, but no guarantee of repair of problem.this is a dangerous malfunction,as the issue is sporadic, and happens during operation, usually whenever a turn or a stop is involved.loss of power without notice creates a condition where the driver has to figure out what's going on before reacting, and can cause overruns, or dangers to other vehicles and motorists.
I have taken my 2006 dodge pickup 4 times to the dealer i bought it new from with the check engine light coming on and saying on the led readout to check gas cap. I can smell gas very strongly when i exit the vehicle.i have earnestly tried to get the dealer to fix this problem but to no avail. I have talked with the general manager at the dealer about this too. His response was i'll talked to the service manager on tuesday after labor day weekend. And call when they decide what to do...a week later and still no call to me. I feel they are not upholding my warranty and ignoring a very serious problem that can be combustible just by someone walking by smoking . The fumes from the gas is very strong ...but don't see any leaks.an innocent life or lives could be lost due to this.
Accelerator sticks to the floor if stepped on too quickly. Multiple attempts to repair and diagnose the cause have failed. Attempts to reproduce the problem at many dealerships has not helped because the sticking of the pedal is very difficult to reproduce when you want it to. Nonetheless,it has occurred at least six times and has made it so my wife is scared to death of the vehicle.
The vehicle was, in motion, on city streets or and highways, accelerating, turning, braking, etc., the fault or problem that created the unsafe condition to be fuel/propulsion system-includes systems that manage energy to power the vehicle such as fuel tanks, pumps, injectors, filters, pipes/lines and hoses for gasoline and diesel vehicles, and for electric, hybrid, hydrogen, lpn/natural gas or other alternative power vehicles including high voltage batteries and energy storage devices, controls, safety disconnects, pressure relief valves, and other safety related devices that may present a safety hazard the component parts or system that i believe may be the cause of the safety risk. After my best assessment of the incident and cause in my description. The vehicle was taken to two known mechanics for an estimate, and an auto service for a computerised diagnosis. I have other information - repair invoices, diagnosis reports, police accident reports, insurance claim forms, etc. - i can not scan them electronically and upload them along with my complaint at this time. The wheels were not properly assessed or replaced according to standards later causing our accident and injuries.this complaint is also about the recalls.

I have a 2006 dodge ram 1500 that has developed a leak in the gas tank. After doing some research, there are so many owners who are having to replace these tanks that the price has skyrocketed and i cant get one for over a month. This is a safety issue and dodge should be required to replace these for free. It is going to cost me well over $1,000.
I have tried on many times too arrigo dodge in west palm beach ,floridatoo complete the safety recall .they have refused too address the issues with this truck . I have complained to the dodge motor division more times than a few ,they turn a blind-eye to the dealership . This truck was a lemon from the show-room floor ,i have replaced the computer , emissions system ,fuel injection system , wiring harness , and many more repairs .the brake system is very dangerous ,someone is going too get a serious injury from this issue. The truck also suffers from sudden acceleration, at any given time . I have called the chrysler rep countless times , and they have a care less attitude ,i voiced my opinion on the chat line ,and...they were quite amusedat the possibility of a crash or injury . I want a complete investigation of the dealership ,the factory , and bring in the department of justice on these criminal activities ! please do something soon , this is a matter of life and death !
About 2 1/2 years ago i was driving my truck on a state highway travelling around 55 to 60 mph when the engine suddenly died. Of course my power steering no longer worked but i was able to pull off the road. This was a scary situation that could have turned out very badly. Luckily, i was in a spot where i could pull over. This particular highway doesn't have a lot of shoulder area. I turned the key off and turned it back on and the truck started back up and everything was fine. This happened a couple of more times when i was travelling on the highway at higher speeds and also driving on a city street at lower speeds. I took it to my mechanic and he connected a code reader and based on the codes it was showing he changed both the cam shaft position sensor and the crank shaft position sensor but the engine continued to die while the vehicle was in motion. The last time it happened was on 1/21/2018 on the same state highway except that this time it didn't want to start back up. I had it towed to a different mechanic and he ran compression tests that showed very little compression on one side of the engine and no compression on the other side. He said he wouldn't be able to tell me what was wrong with it until he opened the engine which would cost several hundred dollars and then who knows how much after the problem was determined. I have not had the money to do that so it has been sitting at the mechanic's garage for the past 2 1/2 years. Every other mechanic i talked to said that i should just go ahead and replace the engine, which i cannot afford to do. They said 2006 was one of the worst years for the dodge ram engine. When it died it was 11 years old but had less than 110,000 miles on it.
When raining the engine misfires to the point of stalling the engine and when hitting the gas the engine will big down when idleing for more that 10 minutes the engine idles rough and begins to putter and stahls out.the rear differential but came loose causing the pinion gear to shift which had resulted in a loud whirling sound when driving at any speed and gets louder when the faster the truck goes and also clunks when coming to a stop.when hitting the brake pedal the front passenger blinker/running light illuminates.front driver side wheel bearing consistently fails after 8,000-20,000 miles causing a loud humming noise and causing me tons of money.check engine light comes on telling me to check gas cap even though i've replace it twice now which leads me to believe there is a engineering defect and also through the code for misfire in cylinder 7 even though i've replaced the spark plugs and coils after the code was generated and it went if for about 4 weeks and came back on.i'm conclusion i believe chrysler is knowingly selling unsafe and, unreliable vehicles which end to costing the consumer thousands in repairs and time something we can't get back. This has been happening since 20,000-40,000 miles into owning the vehicle.my vehicle was manufactured 05/2005 but is titled as a 2006 dodge ram 1500 slt crew cab
Fuel tank is cracked and leaks fuel.i took the vehicle to my mechanic for repairs.my mechanic ordered a new fuel tank from the local dodge dealer.the dodge dealer reports the tank is on back order due to 59 fuel tanks on order for the same problem, that is cracked fuel tanks on dodge pickups.
Filler port replacement for 2006 dodge 1500 notbeing recalled although 2007/2008 were (please see recall number x49 and x53). Vehicle stalled on low idle and during turns. My dodge truck stalled while making turn in a busy intersection and almost create an accident..after researching the web, i found out that it's a common problem and some models are being recalled per x49 and x53.
Stalls at stops, slow speeds (especially when braking downhill) only when gas tank has been completely filled (full). Loss of steering and brakes.
When filling gas tank after the gas pump handle clicks shut to stop flow from the hose the gas from the tank comes back through the fill line and pours out over the side of the truck, approximately 1 pint so it is quite a spill.this happens at every gas station, i use gasoline with 10% ethanol gas, and if i stop the gas flow from the hose manually it also happens.
Traveling down the highway at 65mph when the engine just shut off and luckily i pulled into the shoulder and put the truck in park and turned the ignition and the truck came on line nothing was wrong, this has happened a handful of times and also has happened when sitting at a light and accelerating into the intersection when the truck engine shuts off leaving me to shift into park which n quickly and then restart the truck and get one of dangers way. This is very very scary and i absolutely refuse to let anyone ride in my backseat out of fear i'll stahl out and get t-boned .
The contact owns a 2006 dodge ram 1500. While driving, the strap that held the fuel tank fractured. As a result, another motorist informed the contact that the fuel tank was dragging on the ground, leaking, and damaged. Zeigler chrysler dodge jeep of downers grove (2311 ogden ave, downers grove, il 60515, (630) 241-5500) stated that there was no recall on the vehicle. The dealer quoted a repair cost of over $1,000. The contact stated that an independent mechanic would repair the vehicle. The manufacturer was contacted and ordered a fuel tank on back order. The failure mileage was 222,000.
Every time i fill fuel tank the engine starts stalling for up to and hour after.it now if it has more thana half of a tank, it not only stalls, but pushes raw gasoline out of the evap canaster.the truck is not safe to drive.the problem appears to be the same problem that chrysler has had with chrysler 300. It is malfunctioning shut off float that is allowing fuel to enter purge line.the float is part of the fuel tank and can only be fixed by replacing the $750.00 fuel tank.
When you fill up the gas tank gas shoots out the filler hole. Its not like normal vehicle when the gas handle clicks and stops. On my dodge ram, the gas nozzle stops but as soon as it does gas come pouring out my filler hole. This is got to be a safetyissue. If you search the internet im the only one with this problem.
After filling gas tank in truck in the process of turning out of the parking lot on to a busy road the truck stalled out and would not start. Since then i have learned that in order to prevent this from happening anytime after filling the truck in the first few miles after driving if o plan to cove to a stop i must change gears in to neutral and rev the engine above 1500 rpm to keep it from dying. I feel that this is a serious safety issue with the risk of being run in to if the truck stalls turning on top a road.
The interior light stays on for mere seconds, then shuts off. This is the interior light that turns on when the door is opened or the push button to turn on is pushed. After a few seconds, the light shuts off.
Heater door broken and made defrosting very slow. This appears to be a constant problem on dodge trucks etc.

While traveling on us 290 west toward austin, tx, my rear axle locked without warning. There was no indication of any issue prior to the lock. No sound or vibration occurred prior to the incident. The rear wheels locked and the drive shaft dropped. I was able to control the truck and slide onto the shoulder. The only reason that i was at such a low speed was that i was about to pull over. Had this occurred 5 minutes prior or after i resumed travel, i would have been at 75 mph as that is the speed limit on that particular stretch of roadway. This could have been a very serious accident had it happened in city traffic or at a higher speed. The vehicle is not repaired.

I have tipm problems where i had to disconnect the plug connections and replug. Then i was told by a 20 year dodge ram certified mechanic to actually beat on the outside of the box the tipm was in. I was stranded for 3 days not being able to start my truck. The beating part worked to get me on the road again. He said it needs replacing. I found several small companies that have started business exclusively to repair dodge ram tipm units. They all have different levels of repair options and costs. If that alone doesn't disclose a need for a recall i'm not sure if anything else could. I'm disabled and alone and isolated in the desert for covid when this problem started last week on the last tuesday in feb 2021 and called the indio ca dodge service on saturday to schedule repair to the tipm when the mechanic advised me of the beating technique which has worked since that sat. My truck has experienced issues since i purchased it showing multiple different codes yet none really affecting the general performance. Other then lights on and not passing smog the truck was running decent with bad gas mileage. Now it's remained with varied check lights and codes have since changed since the beating. It appears that dodge has this tipm problem with many of it's lines within the entire network of related vehicals.in my case i was out of food, ice, gas for heat in freezing temps and 70+ mph winds with no vehical to use. I'm 70 this year and it was not a fun few days. I bought the truck the end of summer 2020. I've purchased several parts and products at auto suppliers and also several used parts at pull your own part places. I think dodge knows this is a huge issue that they should be recalling but since they aren't forced to and people pay for parts and repairs their actually profiting from their own faulty parts and laughing all the way to the bank while people suffer
Approx. In 2012 i filed a complaint that the rear pinion gear had snapped on my truck. The dealership recommended installing a new / used rear end. I had the used rear end installed. On 5-7-2015 while on the highway the axle on the rear end abruptly broke. This occurred at approx. 60 mph. Almost causing a catastrophe. The wheel broke away as well as the brake caliper, thus loosing my brakes. As a result damage to the body also occurred. As i said i did file a previous complaint but was told that even though there is a recall on the rear ends on some of these models mine was not one. I paid the$2,500 or so to have that resolved. I feel this shouldn't have ever happened as this vehicle let alone twice. As of now my vehicle is awaiting a inspection from the dealership as well as insurance.

I was driving in west hartford, ct, at ~3:00 pm, on the interstate ramp, from park avenue to i-84 eastbound, when my dodge ram skidded to a stop, in the travel lane.at the time, my foot was on the accelerator, as i was accelerating up to speed.i immediately put on my hazard flashers, put the vehicle in park, grabbed my phone, and got out of the vehicle, since it was in the travel lane, and was at risk of being hit.once i got clear of the vehicle, in the shoulder, i looked under the vehicle, and the back end of the driveshaft was laying on the pavement (it had become disconnected from the rear axle).i called 911 to request police assistance.when the police officer arrived, he couldn't even push the dodge ram off to the shoulder, because the rear axle would not turn.the officer set up flares and warning devices, and called a tow truck.when the tow truck arrived, even the tow rig had trouble getting the truck onto it's bed due to the rear wheels not turning.the dodge ram was towed to a garage.the mechanic has told me that the nut holding the pinion to the drive shaft came loose, allowing the pinion to slip into the rear differential, and jaming the differential, which locked up the rear wheels, even thought my foot was not on the brakes at the time.this incident is very serious.if a tractor trailer or any other vehicle had been immediately behind me when the dodge ram's rear axle locked up, i would have been rear-ended, causing an accident, injury, and possibly fatality.if my son was with me, he would have also been hurt.i had just left a wedding, and was driving to the reception, when this happened.the only reason my son was not with me, was because he asked to ride with his grandfather when we left the church...updated 06/25/14 updated 06/30/2014..updated 01/07/15

Transmission makes load snapping noise when shifting into any gear from park.front brakes caliper sticking causing brakes and rotors to over heat creating sequel and massive amount of dust and vehicle is sluggish from the brakes sticking so acceleration is basically non existent.load humming from front wheels which leads to a shimmy and eventually a shake.
2006 dodge ram 1500 slt trx4 while driving the 4lo lights starts to flash and tries to engage 4wd without turning the switch to 4hi or 4lo. Then the light stops flashing and the service 4wd light comes on and stays on. This goes on while driving the truck at normal and highway speeds. Also the transfer case 4wd actuator motor cycles while using keyless entry to access the vehicle. If the 4lo was to activate while driving at highway speeds this could cause an accident and potential loss of life.
While driving down toll way at 70mph the drive shaft came off the pinion . The nut to hold shaft to pinion came off.
Vibration on acceleration worse with trailer attached. Truck has been to dealer 12-13 times for problem. They have replaced harmonic balancer,complete driveshaft,8 different center carriers shim and bracket,and i don't know what else. The service manager made the mistake of telling me it is what it is. That's a whole other story. A chrysler case rep called me personally and told me to send in the lemon card. After doing so three weeks passed at this time i called chrysler and they stated that the case worker no longer worked there. I am now in the process of taking them to court. I will never buy another dodge in my lifetime!!!2006 mega cab
Vehicle has a delayed engagement after sitting for an extended period of time. Particularly happens in colder weather. Delayed engagement will also make transmission start off in higher gear. Will take roughly 30 seconds to engage into gear.issue is sporadic therefore local dodge garage has failed to diagnose problem. Dodge has had many tsa notices concerning this same delayed engagement but still neglects to take responsibility for their flaw. After speaking to multiple transmission shops i have been made aware that the 2006 ram transmission pump is faulty and even the manager at the local dodge garage verified that dodge has replaced the pump with a different model because of the delayed engagement but yet they still are not replacing the faulty pumps that are currently in the vehicle they sold.

Tamara recall i recently was driving down the highway to pick up my child from his fathers inohio my truck.we are driving down route 8 north going 45 and all of a sudden we here this noise and shaking and the drive shaft literally just snappedoff, we ran over it.

This is the tenth time my truck has stalled out since i have owned it. There is no warning, errors or codes. It has taken place while driving, turning at low speeds and while stopped. Most recently was today in which i was almost rear ended and a victim of road rage by the other driver. The truck does start again, but it takes a few minutes. The truck will then run fine for a while and then it occurs again. Weather and road conditions do not have a factor in this. Ii have noticed that this is a common problem with many dodge owners. This is a severe safety issue. I have been to the dealer and they have found no issues. All of the maintenance is up to date and beyond. I have all documents to prove the above mentioned. Dodge has replied by stating that the vehicle is out of warranty. There has to be an answer to this. This is a life safety issue. Please look into this.

Hub assembly on right front broke and the right front wheel came of at highway speed
While driving at 40mph rear pinion flange separated from pinion shaft causing rear differential damage and driveshaft to fall out and rear wheels locked up. I was instructed by police officer to have towed immediately due to dangerous location.
The problem started in 2009. Went to drive the truck and could not get the truck to drive over 20 mph. Was able to get it to a dealer close by and had to have the throttle body positioning sensor replaced. Since that date i have had to have this same sensor changed 8 more times. Each time the private mechanic talks to chrysler and they recognize there is a faulty problem with this part and will not recall the item. When this sensor goes out it will not let you drive more than about 20mph. Also had to replace the accelerated pedal positioning sensor 4 times. Blinker problems noted by many other consumers i have also had. Where you turn on the left blinker and the right blinker comes on. As well as the a/c problem many consumers have mentioned the door breaks and then all you have is outside air coming in. My mechanic has tried to get replacement parts from chrysler to repair the problem and chrysler does not sell this part (please explain to me how they can make the vehicle and not sell the part to repair it when it breaks knowing it breaks often). Tie rods have also been a problem with my truck. No matter how tight they are they continue to come loose even after being replaced and then the truck will shake. My main concern at this point is it intermittently will die while driving down the highway. It will start right back up but will die again and then it wont duplicate the problem for 2 or 3 days and then will do it again. Have not been able to diagnose this problem yet. If anyone knows any suggestions to look at please advise.

Bought 2006 dodge ram 1500 slt june 2006 100 miles on it on way home brakes pulled sharpley.glendale,ca dodge replaced brake rotors, pads, & calipers@500 miles, due to leaking...front end has been messed up since...vibrates at various speeds, so badly at times feels like front end is going to shake off...front right tire feels like it's warped at times, pulsing in brake pedal when braking, not always, have taken it in to dealer various times they claim nothing wrong...dealer replaced drive shaft last visit, 07/2007, with 20,000 miles...no change....additionally, transmission feels like it's slipping at times and at 60 mph, on level road, transmission feels like it's in to high of a gear, if i was driving a manuel i'd shift down at least 1 gear, at times the vehicle shakes with acceleration, the dealer states, you guessed it, there's no problem..i do not even like driving the truck on the fwy...finally, truck jumps whenever you hit a bump, suspension feels loose, like the shocks are blown, any uneven surface makes the truck unstable.. To say i am frustrated is an understatement!!!the incident dates are various i have been dealing with this for a year!!
I have a 2006 dodge ram 1500.it was bought in november 2005.the transmission started leaking so i took into the dealership that i bought it from.it is a silicone seal on the transmission was it was leaking.the dealership replaced the seal.the next day it was leaking way worse than before.i called the dealership and let them know of the problem and they told me that they could replace it again but most likely it would still leak because it was a silicone seal and they couldn't put any other seal on it because it was against dodges regulations.that is what the put on the truck from the factory so the can't put anything else on it.so the transmission will continue to leak.i don't agree with this especially the amount of money that i paid for the vehicle and also my safety as well as others.also it is still under warranty.so now if this problem isn't fixed my transmission will have to be replaced.
2006 dodge ram 1500 currently has 63,000 miles. Has had the front struts replaced 3 times, motor was replaced, transmission has been replaced, rack and pinion has been replaced, ball joints have been replaced countless times, tie rods have been replaced, wheel bearings have been replaced approx a yr ago and are defective again. Currently waiting for them since there on nationwide back order the dealership claims. All of these have been under warranty. But i have spent countless $$$ on tires and having to rent a vehicle while this on is in the garage constantly.
Since new the 2006 dodge 1500 quad cab has excessive shaking at idle position. Dealer said shaking is due to the vehicle type. When cold the truck doesn't engage in reverse fully which causes slippage... It doesn't want to move without hard accelerator depression.

Dt*: the contact stated when hitched up to a trailer, there was a vibration from the drive shaft during acceleration.the vehicle was serviced by an authorized service dealer, who replaced the drive shaft hanger.this helped reduce the vibration, but became worse with continued driving.the vehicle was returned a second time, where a more heavy duty replacement hanger was installed.the vibration continued during acceleration at all speeds, although it was not noticed when the accelerator pedal was not depressed.the manufacturer was not notified.
Vibration at 60mph. Had 2 tires replaced did not help. Dealer put 4 new tires and rims on same problem. Problem is worse when towing trailer. 5 trips to dealer and they say it is normal to have vibration. Vibration is in seat and floorboard all tires ballanced properly they claim this is normal. Have found that this only seems to be a problem with 06 dodge ram 1500 4x4s.

1.. All 02-2005 (maybe 2006) 9.25" lsds are affected.2.. The retaining clips fail.3.. After enough wear on the housing the clips can come loose, which at a high rate of speed could get lodged in the ring and pinion and cause the rear end to lock up. And at 75 mph having the rear tires lock up surely spell out injury or death.4.. That even when the problem is found and repaired under warranty the parts are replaced with the same junk as before.

I have 3 safety recalls for my 2006 dodge ram 1500. I have called union dodge in garden grove,ca, where i purchased the auto, 3 times to schedule appointments to fix the problems.

The drivers seat foam is falling apart due contact with sharp edges in the support basket and frame welds. The seat motor has also stopped working. I contacted dodge customer service (care #[xxx])and was referred to the dealership to have the vehicle inspected. I had the vehicle inspected and dodge refused to make repairs. The vehicle only has 33,000 miles and the seat foam has to be replaced, along with the cloth fabric, that has a hole due to the rubbing of the fabric in the metal frame. I had to cover the seat with a towel to protect my pants, after i ripped three pair of pants on the sharp edges. I looked at a number of dodge owner websites and many owners are complaining about the same problem. One owner even posted detailed photos of how he repaired the sharp parts and replaced the seat foam after dodge refused to repair his truck. It is a clear defect and the truck should be recalled due to the risk of injury by the sharp parts.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
I have been noticing since i got my truck in march that the front driver side seat makes a popping noise when going around corners.it also feels like it is coming up off the ground or out of the track.i checked it and it is securely fastened to the ground.i took it into freemont dodge yesterday to get some recall work done, and they informed me that the brackets and the pinions in the track of the seat are defective.they tried to get the parts but they are on backorder.how long do they have to fix this problem and how dangerous is it.the dealership says it is ok but my wife drives the truck and i want to make sure that she will be safe.

I have had to replace brake rotors/pads 5 times in 70,000 miles.the rotors warp prematurely causing severe shaking and pulsation while braking, creating an unsafe control issue. It is particularly disturbing when slowing down from highway speed.
Approx. In 2012 i filed a complaint that the rear pinion gear had snapped on my truck. The dealership recommended installing a new / used rear end. I had the used rear end installed. On 5-7-2015 while on the highway the axle on the rear end abruptly broke. This occurred at approx. 60 mph. Almost causing a catastrophe. The wheel broke away as well as the brake caliper, thus loosing my brakes. As a result damage to the body also occurred. As i said i did file a previous complaint but was told that even though there is a recall on the rear ends on some of these models mine was not one. I paid the$2,500 or so to have that resolved. I feel this shouldn't have ever happened as this vehicle let alone twice. As of now my vehicle is awaiting a inspection from the dealership as well as insurance.
The truck is driving very poorly when you accelerate and the front wheel is making a humming noise. It also shakes a lot when you accelerate pass 50. This happened on the highway. The abs and brake light comes on all the time. I had the part replaced that the mechanic say it was with no change. Nhtsa campaign id number : 07v038000
Suspension/brakes: front end wheel bearing vibration/rubbing noise. Replaced several sets of worn tires after spending $189.00 through firestone for lifetime alignments/tire balance/rotations the constant rubbing vibration noise have not alleviated. Brake rotors warped & replaced because of the issue with the pitman arm & front wheel bearings. Chrysler recall campaigns f05, g02, n62, nhtsa campaign 13v528000, 10e040000, 10e013000, 07v038000, 06v038000. Front wheel bearings still noisy, front end vibration still present & alignments constantly necessary. Service bulletins 08-004, 41, & 1900805 related to suspension steering part of this issue. Electrical: ignition key locking up & unable to turn the key to start the vehicle. Had to forcibly turn or wiggle the steering wheel, which is locked, in order to get the key to turn.numerous occasions had to leave the vehicle & return in the future to attempt to turn the ignition key. Turn signal (service bulletin 08-002-12) flashes &intermittent wipers operate incorrectly. Sudden flashing back & forth of signals has almost caused car crashes on numerous occasions. Intermittent wipers stop suddenly at mid windshield point obstructing view. Both operated from the same left handle. Cruise control surges constantly when engaged. Numerous occasions surged suddenly on a hill or bridge almost causing loss of control. Tachometer shows anywhere from 0 to 250 rpm when stopped & has caused stalling of the engine. Operating the vehicle at speed (55mpm for instance), it only shows 1000rpm.during the period of ownership had to replace 3 batteries.this seems excessive for the age of the vehicle.therefore, considering all the electrical related issues there must be a defect since all of these problems still exist. Service bulletin 5015 related to electrical systems are also parts of this issue.
Owner of j.p. Direct auto sales in florence, ky sold me a vehicle with odometer discrepancies. The owner sold the vehicle at a little over 133,000 miles but the odometer has never rolled over since i drove the truck off the lot. Furthermore, a mechanic performed an engine light reading that indicated an issue tripped around 146,000 miles. The owner is not owning up to the odometer discrepancy and making returning the truck very difficult.
While in motion, when you apply pressure to the brake pedal, the pedal will travel towards the gas pedal. This brake pedal bushing seems to be worn out and causes the brake pedal to slightly slide from left to right (like a pendulum on a clock). The gas and brake pedals are fairly close together and if your foot is off set on the brake pedal, your shoe will catch the gas pedal when pressing down on the brake pedal. This will cause the engine to speed up while you are trying to stop the vehicle. To replace this brake pedal bushing part seems to be not in production any more and therefore no replacement is available according to the service manager at the dealership.- waterford, mi, usa
The contact owns a 2006 dodge ram 1500. The contact stated that there was a premature failure with the cruise control feature activating or not functioning properly. There was alsounintended movement while the vehicle was in gear. The contact was unable to determine if there was an electrical failure that activated the cruise control, causing the vehicle to lunge and accelerate at a high rate of speed. Force was applied to the brake pedal when the failure happened. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who checked for dtc, but was unable to replicate and diagnose the failure. There was no repair recommendation from the independent mechanic. Additionally, a brake light switch was replaced by the independent mechanic. The dealer (whitten brothers of ashland, 11409 washington hwy, ashland, va 23005,(804) 798-6071) was also unable to determine the cause of the failure. The vin was not included in nhtsa campaign numbers: 14v795000 (electrical system) and 06v038000 (service brakes, hydraulic). The manufacturer issued six tsbs for the electrical system and was notified of the failure. The failure mileage approximately 130,000.
I was driving on highway 64 e near williamsburg speed limit on the highway is 70 mph which is the speed limit at which truck turned off on its own.no hard idling, no check engine light came on just turned off on its own.power steering was lost along with the brakes and could not control the truck.had to let it go as it until i impacted in a ditch causing the tire to come off the wheel well, damage to the undercarriage and front driver side bumper.the truck is not safe to drive due to it shutting off and now steers to the left.after some research all dodge rams 2006-2011 have experienced this issue but dodge has not done anything to rectify the problem.this is highly dangerous as it could of resulted in the loss of life if it wasn't because of the amount of soft mulch that braced my impact.i am in the military serving active duty and have come home deployment after deployment and to have it all end because of a faulty vehicle.
Traveling 50 to 70 miles an hour and applying the brakes truck shakes from side to side (death wobble). Replaced brake pads, rotors, and spindles but problem persists.
Transmission makes load snapping noise when shifting into any gear from park.front brakes caliper sticking causing brakes and rotors to over heat creating sequel and massive amount of dust and vehicle is sluggish from the brakes sticking so acceleration is basically non existent.load humming from front wheels which leads to a shimmy and eventually a shake.
I have a 2006 dodge ram 1500 with aprox. 54,000. The rotor and brakes went out on the left side only, when i took it to the dealership they stated my caliper was bad, thus causing the rotor and brakes, the caliper is covered by warranty not the rotor & brakes, a check shows the abs module was recalled on 2006 dodge rams, my vin is in the range for the recall, but mine is not in the recall (according to them), however they have no explanation of why so much damage at so little miles. A review of complaints shows several issues with rotor, pads & calipers on these vehicles all with low mileage.
Bought 2006 dodge ram 1500 slt june 2006 100 miles on it on way home brakes pulled sharpley.glendale,ca dodge replaced brake rotors, pads, & calipers@500 miles, due to leaking...front end has been messed up since...vibrates at various speeds, so badly at times feels like front end is going to shake off...front right tire feels like it's warped at times, pulsing in brake pedal when braking, not always, have taken it in to dealer various times they claim nothing wrong...dealer replaced drive shaft last visit, 07/2007, with 20,000 miles...no change....additionally, transmission feels like it's slipping at times and at 60 mph, on level road, transmission feels like it's in to high of a gear, if i was driving a manuel i'd shift down at least 1 gear, at times the vehicle shakes with acceleration, the dealer states, you guessed it, there's no problem..i do not even like driving the truck on the fwy...finally, truck jumps whenever you hit a bump, suspension feels loose, like the shocks are blown, any uneven surface makes the truck unstable.. To say i am frustrated is an understatement!!!the incident dates are various i have been dealing with this for a year!!
Brakes pressure increases while driving dealer replace 4 times front 2 times rear still brakes fail also tie rods fall off or go bad 2 timeall under 18000 miles also there was other problems with front end hubs ,ect.
Brake performance failure beginning at 9,000 odometer miles: at approximately 9,000 miles the brakes on my ram 1500 2 wheel drive began to vibrate when applied. .normal brake use with 65 to 80% at highway speeds up to 75 mph, with no excessive or extreme load conditions, from purchase up to the initial failure. Being 2300 miles from home i waited to visit the dealer upon return. Now at 12,000 odometer miles the vehicle was experiencing severe chatter when applying brakes and exhibited what i thought was 'parallelism or rotor warping. The dealer informed me that brakes were out of warranty but didprovide a visual check and concluded the rear rotors were warped and should be turned. I had the brakes serviced and the rotors turned within days. Again, prior to 10,000 additional miles, application of the brakes produced vibration. As time and miles progressed the vibration became extreme just as before so at some point the rotors were turned again with little if any improvement. I continued to use the vehicle until the situation was so severe the truck would appear to jump rapidly under braking and the more pressure applied the more violent the reaction. The severity was worse at increased speeds.finally in fear for passenger safety i purchased performance ebc drilled and slotted brake rotors and performance pads and had those installed. The result after a short time was a worse, and even more severe, problem beginning well short of 10,000 miles. The situation is now so bad i have actually been thrown into adjoining traffic lanes. I am convinced a systemic problem exist.
After only about 8,000 miles the brake rotors were so warped they needed replacement.the dealership chose only to turn them down removing rotor material to take out the warp.obviously, the warping returned at 14,000 miles and the dealership claims the rotors are no longer covered by the warranty and wants to charge me for replacement. The factory rotor is absolute junk.the dealership denies that they are having widespread problems with the defective rotors but the internet indicates otherwise.please force a recall.
2006 dodge ram 4x4 quad cab - front rotors replaced at 22,000 miles; rears at 42,000 miles, now at 60,000 miles all four are warped again.rotors used to be good for 80,000 +; now only go for 20,000, and at $300 each set of 2; is really way too expensive.
Hands down the worst vehicle i have ever owned when it comes to brakes. After the initial brake warranty of 12,000 miles ran out, the rotors warped. Now at 97k+ miles i am about to install a fourth set of rotors (all four) at my own expense. At approximately $250 in parts per repair, plus my own lost labor time, and the sheer disappointment of knowing that my brakes could fail at any given moment, needless to say i am a little apprehensive about purchasing another dodge truck. I do think that if something is not done to resolve the brake inadequacies then maybe legal action may have to take place. I have read countless complaints about the brake rotors installed on the "big horn" and "lone star" editions with the 20" wheels. I realize it may be a vendor issue and not necessarily dodge's fault, but if dodge knows about it, why won't they do anything about it; thus placing the blame on dodge for continuing to utilize the supplier of the brake rotors in question.
Brake failure.
Premature warping of front brake rotors,causing severe front end shaking when braking at highway speeds almost causing loss of vehicle control. Even after replacing defective or prematurely worn parts,problem recurs in a relatively short time causing additional problems with front end components,such as tie rod ends,and wheel spindles,and bearings.
There is a (tsb 02-001-07 rev. A) that calls out a shudder, braking, shimmer... Blah blah blah... On level ground and certain speeds. My issue is not on level ground, my problem exist on decline of 7% when the brake is applied very slightly the front brakes or front suspension shudders, and shakes so violently that the entire truck and the steering wheel is out of control, if you grab to tight on the steering wheel you may over correct your steering and eventually could cause you to overturn your vehicle. There is no excuse for this, i have had my rotors changed, brakes changed, tires balanced, and rotated but the problem still exists. I am telling you that this is a very dangerous situation for anyone to be in. I would love to take the owner of the dodge co. And his family for a ride. I will almost guarantee that something would get done about this issue. Rotors should last for more than 6 months, but the truck is violently out of control and too dangerous for me to allow my wife or other family members to drive this vehicle until it is fixed or i sell it. Once i sell it i will not purchase another dodge product again, i am tired of wasting my time and money on this issue. I am tired of the dealerships giving me the run around and oh it;s your rotor are quote "warped" un-quote is how it is documented on my paperwork..
The vehicle is shuttering under braking and while applying directional inputs. All tire pressures are 35psi and are in good shape without cupping. While braking at speeds above 40mph the vehicle will shudder violently. The steering shudders while applying slight directional control.
Front brakes have seized up three times in 48,000 miles from purchasing vehicle new.
My 2006 ram 1500 2 wheel drive, big horn edition shakes while braking at approximately 70 mph until it slows to approximately 55 mph. Noone can find the problem. Thetruck shakes sobadly, it feels like the front end is going to shake off! i have replace all 4 tires, had wheels balanced, replaced all 4 rotors, brakes, calipers, inner and outer tierods, front wheel hubs, shocks and the truck still shakes so bad that im scared i will be thrown into oncoming traffic if i had to stop fast....i cannot find the problem andno one, not even the dealer can find the cause!
Multiple problems since day 1. Unresolved vibration issues-related to tires and driveline and alignment. Outer tierod failure. Frt right brake assy failure - near accident , vehicle veered uncontrollably off road at 40mph-towed to dealer.intermittent stalling and hesitating and low oil pressure during operation- truck stalled several occasions while driving - unresolved at this time. Multiple fluid leaksfrom failed vehicle seals and gasket-issue resolved. Vehicle has been to authorized dodge dealers for 9 visits for a total of 45 days down time. In my opinion, this is an unsafe and unreliable vehicle.not eligible for massachusettes strict lemon laws due to being a multitude of different problems.
I bought a 2006 dodge ram 1500 in 2006. After 27,000 miles the rotors had to be replaced. The truck now has 57,000 miles on it, and i've had to replace the rotors a total of 3 times, and i've had to have the rotors resurfaced once. Each time i have to replace the rotors, the cost is about $260. There is no significant event leading up to the rotors warping. My truck is my general use vehicle. I tow a boat on occasion, which weighs less then 2000 pounds. This truck is rated for far more than that. Last rotor resurfacing took place on 24 apr 09.

I have a 2006 dodge ram 1500 quad cabwith 16,000 miles . I recently discovered that the front rotors are warped and after talking to the dealership they informed me that this would not be covered under warranty. After inspecting i discovered that the brake pads are hardly worn at all. The service advisor told me that this was a problem they were seeing on these new trucks. I feel that this is unacceptable and should be taken care of by dodge.
With 13,500 miles on my 2006 dodge ram 1500 i started to feel a shudder when braking.i inquired with the dealer and he informed me that it was the rotors.he also informed me that chryslers warranty on the rotors was 12,000 miles.basically telling me i was sol!
Front rotors have vibrated sence about 12,000 mile.
At 15,000 miles my truck would start pulsating when i applied the brake.found out the front rotors were warped.happened again at 30,000 miles.had rotors turned at my expense.
My (new) '06 ram 1500 4x4 suffered from pulsating brakes at 9k miles. Took it to the dealer and advised that my '03 dakota had the same problem. They inspected the front brakes and confirmed the rotors had some "run out".they were resurfaced at no cost. Not long after....at 19k miles, the condition arose again. This time, i had to make a 2500 mile trip and couldn't get the truck in beforehand. The dealer "might have considered" fixing them, based on a 12mo/12,000 mile warranty from the first repair. Nevertheless, now at 22k i am told i, too, am sol. We need to contact the manufacture and urge them to consider replacement before accidents occur.
If you apply hard pressure to the brake pedal, the pedal will travel almost to the floor going past the gas pedal. The gas and brake pedals are fairly close together and if your foot is off set on the brake pedal, your shoe will catch the gas pedal when pressing down on the brake pedal.this will cause the engine to speed up while you are trying to stop the vehicle.trying to stop the vehicle at the same time you are making it go faster, just isn't very good.
I was driving on highway 64 e near williamsburg speed limit on the highway is 70 mph which is the speed limit at which truck turned off on its own.no hard idling, no check engine light came on just turned off on its own.power steering was lost along with the brakes and could not control the truck.had to let it go as it until i impacted in a ditch causing the tire to come off the wheel well, damage to the undercarriage and front driver side bumper.the truck is not safe to drive due to it shutting off and now steers to the left.after some research all dodge rams 2006-2011 have experienced this issue but dodge has not done anything to rectify the problem.this is highly dangerous as it could of resulted in the loss of life if it wasn't because of the amount of soft mulch that braced my impact.i am in the military serving active duty and have come home deployment after deployment and to have it all end because of a faulty vehicle.

My husband's dodge ram 1500 has had 2 power steering pumps replaced.the last pump was replaced in less than 39 days.within the last week we have had 4 different episodes of the power steering gpoes out.when the power steering does go out there is a hard jerk to the right side.this is very dangerous.this past time my family and i was pulling a 27 foot camper behind us when the steering went out.we also had to replace the struts on the truck. This is ridiculous to keep having these dangerous problems.i will no longer let my son ride with his father because of the parental of the steering going out.this should not happen.

The bushings are bad in the truck. Cause shaking while breaking, uneven tread wear on tires, and truck never has a good alignment. Also trying to replace them, the bushings are seized to the bolts. Needing a torch or grinder to remove. Very bad design that needs to be noticed and fixed.
When it is very hot and the windows have been up, the ignition switch will not turn.the steering wheel will not turn and the key will not rotate from locked position.i have contacted dodge and they say they have made notes on the issue, but they don't see a problem that they are responsible for.if this was an issue that i would have control of creating - it would be my problem.this is an issue with safety in that if i had an emergency and this happened i would not be able to start my car. Or, have a car-full of groceries and find out the car won't start!!!bad enough i have to wait for the car to cool off when this happens.this is a summertime issue which makes me have to find shade or park where the sun doesn't shine into the front of the car.problem seems to be a part (probably plastic) that expands when it gets very hot and prevents the key cylinder from rotating.this can't be the only car with this issue as dodge would elude to . . .

I purchased this vehicle from a used car dealer in clanton, alabama in april 2014. I was driving to my mom's, who lives in mississippi when i came upon a bridge on the interstate while passing a 18 wheeler. When entering the bridge there was a small bump up and when the front wheels of the truck hit the bump the front of the truck started bouncing (death bounce or roll) uncontrollable.i had to cut off the 18 wheeler that i was passing and pulled to the side of the interstate and come to a complete stop for it to stop. It happened 4 more times before i got to my destination andit has happened on numerous occasions since and causing me to almost wreck each time.this is a very dangerous problem with this vehicle. You have no control over the steering while it is doing this it just bounces you all over the road. I have talked to a mechanic and he said it was the entire front end of all dodge trucks that was causing this problem and had to be replaced. I wish to have an investigation on this matter, please.with only 82k miles on this truck the entire frt end should not be bad!! this problem, i was told by the mechanic was a defect from factory and should have been a recall on the entire frt suspension not just the tie rod, because the tie rod is not correcting the death bounce/roll problem with this trucks. I have a young son and a grand baby who has to ride in this vehicle and i do not feel safe driving this truck with my self in it. I will be looking forward to hearing from you.thank you very much.
Noticed vehicle steering had slack and jerked the steering wheel from side to side all the sudden.took vehicle to family mechanic who inspected the vehicle and said he did not seen any external damage however he could tell there was slack in the steering and possible something with the tie rods or hub of drivers side on vehicle.he knew there was a current recall on the dodge models concerning the steering linkage and tie rod assembly and also the gearbox shaft pitman.we researched the recalls and found that it covered the 2500 series in the 4x4 so took to our local dodge dealership and they stated the recall did not cover our 1500 megacab 4x4 series vehicles even though they have the 2500 series parts under them.we scheduled immediate repair of the vehicle in order to prevent having a frontal crash or loss of steering of the vehicle.chrysler advised us to file complaint since we were not able to claim the cost under recall.i believe that nhtsa should review and expand recall on all dodge models with the steering problem and issue recall on any parts that are related to the steering or linkage from the 2500 series.
I was traveling 50 to 55 mph my vehicle veered to the left out of control. I attempted corrective steering with no response from the steering. I hit the guardrail direct with the front of the vehicle causing substantial damage. On 1/2/2014 i went and looked at my truck and noticed that part of the steering knuckle was broke off from the center of the hole for the tie rod and missing. The tie rod shaft was not bent indicating the steering knuckle may have failed.
I had to replace the front wheel hub, there is a recall for this on my make and model but not my truck.... The recall # is 07v038000, i paid almost $300. For one side and i believe the other side is getting ready to fail.

Currently waiting for them since there on nationwide back order the dealership claims. All of these have been under warranty.

Had vehicle aligned due to the front end bouncing. Tie rod was replaced and vehicle had a vibration and popping noise from the front end after that. Today i took it to the shop and they said the wheel bearing is worn beyond safe conditions. My vin did not fall under the current recall but i seem to be having the same problem with my vehicle and my family has been put at risk with this vehicle problem. I have new parts being put on today which is going will be paid out of pocket again. I have driven with this vibration for some time now not even aware that it could possibly be under a recall. A fault this serious could cause death and injury to my family and someone else's.
This violently shaking and bouncing of the front end can be reproduced at any imperfection in the highway at 65+ mph. The entire front end of the truck bounces and shakes violently. The only way to stop the out of control shaking is to slam on the brakes and attempt to get to the shoulder of the road.on numerous occasions the traffic following my truck has been forced to take action to avoid plowing into the back end of my truck.dodge should be ashamed of the run around and misdiagnosis of this life threatening issue.
I was coming out of the hills after a day of hunting and as i made it back to town luckly going slowly i turned the corner and my driver side tie rod end broke. Leaving my truck stranded in a small town about 5 miles frommy camp. Took my truck to the local shop the next day cause this happend on a sunday and got it fixed. The mecanic at the local shop told me this was a recalled part. So after returning home from my hunting trip i looked it up and it is a recalled part on many dodge vehicles. Why was i not notified? if this happend at 65 miles an hour my 4 kids probley wouldent have a father today. I have a recite for the work done. Not only do i want my money back and compensation for my timei alsowould like to be notified of any ohter recalls. This dodge of mine is a pavement pounder. It drives freeways only most of the year and only a couple weeks out of the year driives moutain roads during hunting season to get me to and from my locations to get out and hike behind closed gates. It hauls nothing other than a few animals and a small 19 ft travel trailer during hunting season.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge ram 1500.while driving approximately 45 mph, the vehicle began to spontaneously drift to the right of the road.the contact crashed into a bridge and the vehicle was completely destroyed.none of the air bags deployed.the driver sustained severe injuries and a police report was filed.the contact has pictures of the crash.the dealer stated that the crash was not significant enough to warrant air bag deployment.the vin and mileages were unknown.
At just about any speed , if you hit the right bump, the left front shakes out of control have spent $1000's of my own money trying to correct , the death wobble.
While traveling on interstate at ~ 65 mph, i hit a series of bumps that caused the front suspension to shake violently. This only subsided after slowing to < 35 mph and (fortunately) avoiding a crash. After doing some research, this is consistent with "death wobble". I am amazed that there is not a recall regarding this issue. I had new ball joints and tie rod ends installed ~ 6 months ago.

Was driving on gravel road after a heavy rain.came upon a water puddle and when i crossed it the front wheels hit fairly hard.at that point the front steering locked.i let the vehicle roll to a stop as i feared loosing control and leaving the road.the steering wheel remained locked until i had stopped.i then turned off the motor and restarted the vehicle.i turned the steering wheel at stopped position and with effort i was able to turn left then right.i feel something is wrong with this truck.it is not covered in the buy back on dodge ram trucks as i understand it,so what is up with that?what could be the difference between 2006 & 2008-2012 vehicles?i am very unhappy with this truck for other issues, which i do not find with other brands such as gmc or ford.she is beautiful to look at, but seems to have inherent problems in all these trucks.my brother-in-law and his son own the same models but one is an 2008 and the other 2012 with much the same issues as my truck.heating and cooling is bad.wind at the side windows is intolerable. Cannot carry on any conversation with the family when going 65 mph because of the excessive noise level from these poorly constructed cab window frames.ok that's it from me.please tell why this 2006 dodge ram 1500 was not offered a buy back?best regardsrcm

My dodge truck is becoming unsafe to drive.i bought new tires, had alignments for my steering done, balance of tires, rotation of tires, new brakes, new shocks, and now i have to take it to the dealer to get a known "concern" taken care of and pay out of my pocket once again.i have spent over $2,500 dollars of my own money trying to fix a known "concern" that chrysler knows about.now i have to take it to the dealer and pay $70.00 just to get it looked at, and then pay for whatever fix chrysler has to do.why is this happening and not getting fixed?
Driving home from the lake and the wheel locked up and went into the ditch after we had it in chrysler and it was not fixed.they took it in and gave it back and coming home from work the steering wheel locked up again and i almost hit 3 cars.so went back in to get fixed.then i was out hunting and my kids were with and the steering wheel locked up and we went in the ditch again.so now i just want to get rid of this vehicle.we have had it in 3 times in one month for the same problem and it is not getting fixed.

Dodge issued an "extended" warranty for the signal really in the steering column. They stated it could break. It really malfunctions- one signaling leftit could/would change from signaling left to signaling right. They are aware of this - when i tried to get mine fixed they said that they truck would need to show the malfunction for them to honor the warranty. I feel this should be a recall do to faulty signals (safety issue)i spoke to corporate and they felt the issue was addressed.

I told the service manager that i heard there was a recall on my year model for that very reason, he stated that he never heard of it, i informed him of the reason for the recall, and his answer was that my truck was 6 years old and those things wear out. I said are you crazy the truck has only 38000 miles on it, his answer was it was a good thing i purchased a extened sevice contract. It cost me $107.00 deductable.i called chrysler and was told there was no recall on my truck.this was my first chrysler product and if this is how they stand behind there product, when they were aware that there was a problem at the factory it will be my last. My truck should have been part of that recall, just like many others that were not.i will be trading it in for a ford next year. Now i know why the govt. Had to bail chrysler out so many times.

I have experienced the dodge death wobble, a violent shaking, a sudden pulling to the left, then a sudden sharp pulling to the right, with not being able to control by steering, all the while the steering wheel is still violently shaking and with hard braking my vehicle came to a stop with two wheels off of the road in the ditch.i took the pickup in to be checked right away with no real signs of why and decided to replace two of the tie rod ends. The vehicle drove ok for a short time and the death wobble started again, this time not as bad, but very often, like at least 100 times in the last month. As i have spent many hours researching this problem, it seams that 1,000's and 1000's of dodge 2500 series pickup have this problem which as lead to tie rods breaking . I have not heard of any deaths yet, but does someone have to die before this becomes a safty recall.

While driving my 2006 dodge 1500 megacab truck at 70 mph, the truck started shaking violently and out of control. I held it as straight as i could and applied the brakes. The shaking finally stopped at about 20 mph. This was especially dangerous, because it was in the fast lane of traffic during rush hour. I later read some forums on the internet that labeled this problem the "death wobble." it appears, from the many experiences described on the forums, that this is a common problem with dodge.

I constantly suffer back pain and although i was told by the hospital to get the treatment i lost my job due to the pain i get plus i did not have any transportation.and now i see that there is a recall for this vehicle for the air bag.
Dodge rams have a big rust problem. Right over the wheels on both sides of the truck (wheel wells) they rust horribly because of them making a lip on the inside that holds water and debrit and erode the wheel well which eventually brakes apart. This is a problem with all dodge trucks from 2003- 2008. There are hundreds of these incidents reported. The cost to repair is horrible for a person to pay also. This is a factory defect.
I noticed the paint puckering above the rear wheel well on the driver side last fall. Over the winter, the puckers gave way and severe rusting is visible the full length of the wheel well from the base to about 6 inches above the wheel well.today i noticed the same thing happening on the passenger side.i have been informed that the metal has rusted out and both side inner and outer panels need to be replaced.the truck is kept clean and waxed, and has not been submerged in water nor exposed to salt water as it is used to commute on inland interstate highways almost exclusively. I noticed that other owners of this vehicle are having similar issues with the paint in this area.is this a defect in the metal, paint, or welds that cause this problem. .
I had an accident related to the driver's side grab handle. I never usually use it to get into the truck, but decided to use it on june 7th, 2017.the truck is hardly ever driven and in very, very good condition. The grab handle was not loose in any way prior to the accident and had never been worked on or replaced. When i grabbed the handle to pull myself into the truck, which was stationary and parked in a driveway, the whole panel ripped right off and sent me falling hard to the asphalt driveway. I fell about 3 feet. By the way, i only weigh about 120 lbs. The fall caused me to break my left hip. I laid in the driveway screaming in excruciating pain and for help until someone found me. An ambulance transported me to a hospital. I had a partial hip replacement due to the hip fracture. Upon inspection, it looked like the panel/grab handle was secured into the body of the truck by plastic discs and clips! i was shocked and assumed something like that would've been secured by a more sturdy material. This accident has been physically and financially devastating for me.
Approx. In 2012 i filed a complaint that the rear pinion gear had snapped on my truck. The dealership recommended installing a new / used rear end. I had the used rear end installed. On 5-7-2015 while on the highway the axle on the rear end abruptly broke. This occurred at approx. 60 mph. Almost causing a catastrophe. The wheel broke away as well as the brake caliper, thus loosing my brakes. As a result damage to the body also occurred. As i said i did file a previous complaint but was told that even though there is a recall on the rear ends on some of these models mine was not one. I paid the$2,500 or so to have that resolved. I feel this shouldn't have ever happened as this vehicle let alone twice. As of now my vehicle is awaiting a inspection from the dealership as well as insurance.

The problem started in 2009. Went to drive the truck and could not get the truck to drive over 20 mph. Was able to get it to a dealer close by and had to have the throttle body positioning sensor replaced. Since that date i have had to have this same sensor changed 8 more times. Each time the private mechanic talks to chrysler and they recognize there is a faulty problem with this part and will not recall the item. When this sensor goes out it will not let you drive more than about 20mph. Also had to replace the accelerated pedal positioning sensor 4 times. Blinker problems noted by many other consumers i have also had. Where you turn on the left blinker and the right blinker comes on. As well as the a/c problem many consumers have mentioned the door breaks and then all you have is outside air coming in. My mechanic has tried to get replacement parts from chrysler to repair the problem and chrysler does not sell this part (please explain to me how they can make the vehicle and not sell the part to repair it when it breaks knowing it breaks often). Tie rods have also been a problem with my truck. No matter how tight they are they continue to come loose even after being replaced and then the truck will shake. My main concern at this point is it intermittently will die while driving down the highway. It will start right back up but will die again and then it wont duplicate the problem for 2 or 3 days and then will do it again. Have not been able to diagnose this problem yet. If anyone knows any suggestions to look at please advise.
2006 dodge ram 1500 passable frame damage possible body and transmission damage.buyer beware. They repoed this truck and pulled it backwards and it in 4 wheel drive then they used a roll back to pick up the truck under the back door.then they set it on its nose to move it up on the roll back.this truck may have several problems that you can not see just by looking.
2006 dodge ram 1500 currently has 63,000 miles. Has had the front struts replaced 3 times, motor was replaced, transmission has been replaced, rack and pinion has been replaced, ball joints have been replaced countless times, tie rods have been replaced, wheel bearings have been replaced approx a yr ago and are defective again. Currently waiting for them since there on nationwide back order the dealership claims. All of these have been under warranty. But i have spent countless $$$ on tires and having to rent a vehicle while this on is in the garage constantly.
The vehicle has a vibration mainly between the speeds of 55 to 60 mph. However i have noticed the vibrations at other speeds as well. The vibration is significant enough to shake the vehicle occupants. The first visit to the service department i was told one wheel was found out of balance and the problem was remedied. On the way home the vibration was still present. I immediately called the service department and brought the vehicle back. The service manager rode with me and indeed acknowledged there was a problem. During this second visit it was determined all 4 tires were not within acceptable limits and replaced. (mind you the tires only had approximately 1600 miles.) after driving with the new tires for a few days the vibration still persists. I took the vehicle in for a third visit to the service department, however the service manager could not duplicate the problem and i was sent on my way with no attempted remedy.i have been researching the problem, and have found nearly 40 other consumers complaining of the same vibration on their 2006 dodge rams. They have also not had any success at fixing the problem after as many as five visits to their respective service departments.

I purchased this vehicle from a used car dealer in clanton, alabama in april 2014. I was driving to my mom's, who lives in mississippi when i came upon a bridge on the interstate while passing a 18 wheeler. When entering the bridge there was a small bump up and when the front wheels of the truck hit the bump the front of the truck started bouncing (death bounce or roll) uncontrollable.i had to cut off the 18 wheeler that i was passing and pulled to the side of the interstate and come to a complete stop for it to stop. It happened 4 more times before i got to my destination andit has happened on numerous occasions since and causing me to almost wreck each time.this is a very dangerous problem with this vehicle. You have no control over the steering while it is doing this it just bounces you all over the road. I have talked to a mechanic and he said it was the entire front end of all dodge trucks that was causing this problem and had to be replaced. I wish to have an investigation on this matter, please.with only 82k miles on this truck the entire frt end should not be bad!! this problem, i was told by the mechanic was a defect from factory and should have been a recall on the entire frt suspension not just the tie rod, because the tie rod is not correcting the death bounce/roll problem with this trucks. I have a young son and a grand baby who has to ride in this vehicle and i do not feel safe driving this truck with my self in it. I will be looking forward to hearing from you.thank you very much.

At highway speeds of 70 mph, hitting a bump at highway speeds sends the truck into violent almost uncontrollable bouncing with the only way to settle the truck down is to slam on the brakes reducing the speed in highway traffic to 40 mph.the truck bounces violently and tracks into other lanes.no solution from dealer, i have owned this truck since new, well maintained.but repeated front end replacements and repairs, some recalls, some at my expense.this is being epidemic.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge ram 1500.while driving 40 mph and attempting to apply the brakes the front end of the vehicle began shaking until it came to a complete stop.the dealer stated that the failure was due to the front end suspension and brakes.the dealerwas unable to repair the vehiclesince the the parts were unavailable.the contact received recall notice #g02.the current and failure mileage were 15000.
Traveling at speeds approximately 40 mph and above; when apply brakes abruptly; the steering wheel and front end of the vehicle shake, higher the speed, shaking increases.
There is a (tsb 02-001-07 rev. A) that calls out a shudder, braking, shimmer... Blah blah blah... On level ground and certain speeds. My issue is not on level ground, my problem exist on decline of 7% when the brake is applied very slightly the front brakes or front suspension shudders, and shakes so violently that the entire truck and the steering wheel is out of control, if you grab to tight on the steering wheel you may over correct your steering and eventually could cause you to overturn your vehicle. There is no excuse for this, i have had my rotors changed, brakes changed, tires balanced, and rotated but the problem still exists. I am telling you that this is a very dangerous situation for anyone to be in. I would love to take the owner of the dodge co. And his family for a ride. I will almost guarantee that something would get done about this issue. Rotors should last for more than 6 months, but the truck is violently out of control and too dangerous for me to allow my wife or other family members to drive this vehicle until it is fixed or i sell it. Once i sell it i will not purchase another dodge product again, i am tired of wasting my time and money on this issue. I am tired of the dealerships giving me the run around and oh it;s your rotor are quote "warped" un-quote is how it is documented on my paperwork..
5 months ago my vehicle started a vibration in the steering wheel as i would drive and then my truck would shake as slowing....i went to the dealership for a fuel service and was notified of several recalls including a hub assembly that i had replaced the year before. I was told i would be called within 2 weeks to schedule a appt to have it fixed but when i attempted to call, the person i had talked to was let go or fired...since then i have been going to school and working fulltime. 2 weeks ago mytruck started with a noise sounding like a squeal/squeak...and i was told it just needed penetrating oil but the noise has gotten worse....
Front end/steering shakes when you hit a bump or the road is rough.all most makes the vehicle uncontrolable.
Driving down the road my front left struts blew out without warning and at same time the front sway bar broke off on same side it was hard tocontrol i slowed down n stopped and had truck hauled to dealership dealership wouldn't change both front struts said other one looked fine charged me 750 dollars and one month latter opposite side strut blew out n sway arm snapped off.. And now i have problems where the rear end of my truck walks all over the road.
The truck has had intermittent problems with the front end, assembly on right and left side. The truck was repaired by the shop and still not able to perform correctly. Firestone investigated the truck after it was fixed with me taking it back to the shop to get re-fixed. Now after it has been fixed again, the axle area is still popping and i don't know if it is fixed or not. I am tired of spending my money on it. I want to blame the shop but i think it is a manufacturer error. Also, with these front end issues. The front end hit a dip in the road at about 30-35--no dip warning and locked up the front end. I spent nearly $1000 replacing brakes, calipers, and rotors. Not to mention the 300-500 replacing front end parts on this truck. Updated 12/08/2017
The contact owns a 2006 dodge ram 1500. While driving at 55 mph, suddenly the front end of the vehicle began to shake violently. The failure occurred previously while driving approximately 55-60 mph on several occasions. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure.

Owner of j.p. Direct auto sales in florence, ky sold me a vehicle with odometer discrepancies. The owner sold the vehicle at a little over 133,000 miles but the odometer has never rolled over since i drove the truck off the lot. Furthermore, a mechanic performed an engine light reading that indicated an issue tripped around 146,000 miles. The owner is not owning up to the odometer discrepancy and making returning the truck very difficult.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge ram 1500. While driving approximately 60 mph, the front end of the vehicle started to vibrate. The contact received a recall notification for nhtsa campaign number: 13v528000 (suspension); however, the parts needed were unavailable. The dealer stated that there were some components that were loose and they were uncertain when the parts would become available to service the vehicle. The manufacturer was not notified. The approximate failure mileage was 90,000.
Suspension/brakes: front end wheel bearing vibration/rubbing noise. Replaced several sets of worn tires after spending $189.00 through firestone for lifetime alignments/tire balance/rotations the constant rubbing vibration noise have not alleviated. Brake rotors warped & replaced because of the issue with the pitman arm & front wheel bearings. Chrysler recall campaigns f05, g02, n62, nhtsa campaign 13v528000, 10e040000, 10e013000, 07v038000, 06v038000. Front wheel bearings still noisy, front end vibration still present & alignments constantly necessary. Service bulletins 08-004, 41, & 1900805 related to suspension steering part of this issue. Electrical: ignition key locking up & unable to turn the key to start the vehicle. Had to forcibly turn or wiggle the steering wheel, which is locked, in order to get the key to turn.numerous occasions had to leave the vehicle & return in the future to attempt to turn the ignition key. Turn signal (service bulletin 08-002-12) flashes &intermittent wipers operate incorrectly. Sudden flashing back & forth of signals has almost caused car crashes on numerous occasions. Intermittent wipers stop suddenly at mid windshield point obstructing view. Both operated from the same left handle. Cruise control surges constantly when engaged. Numerous occasions surged suddenly on a hill or bridge almost causing loss of control. Tachometer shows anywhere from 0 to 250 rpm when stopped & has caused stalling of the engine. Operating the vehicle at speed (55mpm for instance), it only shows 1000rpm.during the period of ownership had to replace 3 batteries.this seems excessive for the age of the vehicle.therefore, considering all the electrical related issues there must be a defect since all of these problems still exist. Service bulletin 5015 related to electrical systems are also parts of this issue.
Had vehicle aligned due to the front end bouncing. Tie rod was replaced and vehicle had a vibration and popping noise from the front end after that. Today i took it to the shop and they said the wheel bearing is worn beyond safe conditions. My vin did not fall under the current recall but i seem to be having the same problem with my vehicle and my family has been put at risk with this vehicle problem. I have new parts being put on today which is going will be paid out of pocket again. I have driven with this vibration for some time now not even aware that it could possibly be under a recall. A fault this serious could cause death and injury to my family and someone else's.
This violently shaking and bouncing of the front end can be reproduced at any imperfection in the highway at 65+ mph. The entire front end of the truck bounces and shakes violently. The only way to stop the out of control shaking is to slam on the brakes and attempt to get to the shoulder of the road.on numerous occasions the traffic following my truck has been forced to take action to avoid plowing into the back end of my truck.dodge should be ashamed of the run around and misdiagnosis of this life threatening issue.i will be reposting each occurrence here.
Death wobble. We almost died due to the truck violently shaking after hitting a bump in the road. Dodge obviously has a defective and very dangerous set up with what ever is making it do that. The problem is this is well known and the federal government must be protecting them. I say the ceo and the retard who designed it go for a ride with me in heavy traffic with their kids in the back seat. I'm just about out of my mind, i am already on my second rear end, and second radiator. I'm bout ready to drive to chrysler hq and put the truck through the front window of it. The truck has to come to a complete stop in order for the shaking to stop. When are you bureaucrats going to get off your ass and do something about it. You have known about this for years.
The bushings are bad in the truck. Cause shaking while breaking, uneven tread wear on tires, and truck never has a good alignment. Also trying to replace them, the bushings are seized to the bolts. Needing a torch or grinder to remove. Very bad design that needs to be noticed and fixed.
Traveling 50 to 70 miles an hour and applying the brakes truck shakes from side to side (death wobble). Replaced brake pads, rotors, and spindles but problem persists.
When you turn tight you feel and hear vibrations something does not feel right.
Hi, well i begin as a guy who loves trucks we bought a dodge ram 06' 1500 mega cab heavy duty,now the mega cabs r 1500's on a 2500 hd chassis. My dodge ram started doing the death wobble about 1year ago give or take.i have replaced the pitman arm and the tie rods and no difference. I am begging to think this is a factory issue because i hear cases by the dozen on youtube and people do not seem to know what the issue is. My family & i have almost been in numerous accidents luckily god was watching over us.i recently got into a pretty horrible death wobble in my truck,it was so intense that my muffler ripped right off the truck. If chrysler is saying that is not a recall that we have fix it our selves,well that's crapbecause obviously it looks like a defective part in my truck. My truck is dangerous to be driving like that and i hope this becomes a recall because its not just me it's a couple hundred,who knows now how many.thank you for your time.
My truck's left front wheel bearing split in half destroying the entire left side including my tire. I called daimlerchrysler as your website suggested and gave the campaign #07v038000 and recall #g02 and was informed my truck was not part of this recall. What happened was exactly as described on your recall except without the noise or vibration. What upsets me the most is the recall was issued 2/2007 they knew there were questionable part installed. They should widen the vin range affected by this recall, looks like they missed by at least one. One site lists 86,333 vehicles affected by this recall but not mine? i am just lucky this didn't happen three weeks from now as i am pulling a camper across tennessee with my family. Thank you for any help you can provide. [xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
My dodge truck is becoming unsafe to drive.i bought new tires, had alignments for my steering done, balance of tires, rotation of tires, new brakes, new shocks, and now i have to take it to the dealer to get a known "concern" taken care of and pay out of my pocket once again.i have spent over $2,500 dollars of my own money trying to fix a known "concern" that chrysler knows about.now i have to take it to the dealer and pay $70.00 just to get it looked at, and then pay for whatever fix chrysler has to do.why is this happening and not getting fixed?
I have experienced the dodge death wobble, a violent shaking, a sudden pulling to the left, then a sudden sharp pulling to the right, with not being able to control by steering, all the while the steering wheel is still violently shaking and with hard braking my vehicle came to a stop with two wheels off of the road in the ditch.i took the pickup in to be checked right away with no real signs of why and decided to replace two of the tie rod ends. The vehicle drove ok for a short time and the death wobble started again, this time not as bad, but very often, like at least 100 times in the last month. As i have spent many hours researching this problem, it seams that 1,000's and 1000's of dodge 2500 series pickup have this problem which as lead to tie rods breaking . I have not heard of any deaths yet, but does someone have to die before this becomes a safty recall.
Dt*:the contact stated while driving straight and at more than 40mph the vehicle veered toward the left or right.while attempting to straighten the vehicle it veered toward the opposite direction.the vehicle was taken to multiple dealerships on six different occasions.although, the vehicle alignment was readjusted four times the problem still continued.the manufacturer was alerted.ak
Started hearing a low howling noise in my front end when going around curves in the road, it progressively got louder after a couple weeks to a grinding sound,took it to the dealer where i bought it performance dodge, woodbury, nj. They stated that both front wheel bearings were bad. I told the service manager that i heard there was a recall on my year model for that very reason, he stated that he never heard of it, i informed him of the reason for the recall, and his answer was that my truck was 6 years old and those things wear out. I said are you crazy the truck has only 38000 miles on it, his answer was it was a good thing i purchased a extened sevice contract. It cost me $107.00 deductable.i called chrysler and was told there was no recall on my truck.this was my first chrysler product and if this is how they stand behind there product, when they were aware that there was a problem at the factory it will be my last. My truck should have been part of that recall, just like many others that were not.i will be trading it in for a ford next year. Now i know why the govt. Had to bail chrysler out so many times.

While traveling on interstate at ~ 65 mph, i hit a series of bumps that caused the front suspension to shake violently. This only subsided after slowing to < 35 mph and (fortunately) avoiding a crash. After doing some research, this is consistent with "death wobble". I am amazed that there is not a recall regarding this issue. I had new ball joints and tie rod ends installed ~ 6 months ago.

I was driving on the interstate got the truck up two 65 miles an hour and the front end starts to shake real bad. I had too slow down some to get it to stop shaking as bad.

I never got a recall noticed about the air bag recall.

On 2/21/2006, i purchased a 2006 dodge ram, 1500, 4x2. Recently my truck encountereda front wheel bearing malfunction, when going around left hand curves i would hear a loud "thumping" noise. In doing some research on automobile recalls, i foung manf. Compaign # g02 and nhtsa campaign # 07v038000 has recalled 2006 dodge ram pickup trucks for "suspension; front; wheel bearing, the summary of the recall reads "on certain p/u trucks, the front wheel bearings may have received an insufficent quantity oof grease during the manufacturing process, but only those that were built between 11/7/05 and 4/27/06, my truck was built on 10/1/05 (5 weeks prior to the recall.) currently, i have owned my truck for 46 mos. However it only has 21,800 miles, back on 9/10/08 i had taken it to the dealership account of frontend viberation, their determination was tie-rod ends and they replaced them under warranty.in contacting chrysler, they said they would replace the bearing if i would pay a $50.00 co-pay, which i did and they made the repairs. The dealership said that they could not tell if the malfunction was due to lack of grease account of the bearing being a "sealed unit". I find it very odd that this malfunction has happeneedwith only this few miles and is not included in the recall, i am also wondering if any other dodge customers have had the same problem and also wondering if the recall should not include dates prior to and/or after the original recall dates. Thank you for your time in this matter.

My truck was included in recall:nhtsa campaign id number : 07v038000 which states:remedy:dealers will replace the front hub and bearing units...however, when the dealership performed the recall (daimler chrysler recall no.

Owner [xxx] was traveling up a longhill on dirt road when about half way up hillvehicle suddenly quit running (no warning) and "check gage light" (cgl) came on. Truck restarted, but would not pull hill.i slowly backed truck down hill without engine -- and started truck on level ground and turned around.truck ran fine the about two miles home , but "check gage light" remained on. (all gages and liquid levels checked normal) thegas gage showed just below half full. After arriving home, i added a gallon of gasoline, but cgl remained on.i called service manager at sloan ford in columbia , tn. Who suggested having truck towed to sloan ford to be checked(about 20 miles). When wrecker arrived at my home for truck, the truck started andcgl was off. Sloan technicians kept the truck for a week, and the problem never occurred again and has not since. This isvery dangerous because of the possibility of the truck stalling suddenly again infast moving traffic, etc.. I would like to hear of any similar cases , and the possible cause. I consider this unknown mystery potentially very dangerous causing me to be reluctant to drive truck in heavy traffic or long distances.

A recall is definitely in order here for the cabin air blend door breaking, 2006 through 2002 models have had a large number of complaints filed and in 2006 had the most filed yet in 2007 zero complaints filed for this problem , let me explain why. I contacted daimler chrysler filed a complaint and got nowhere, they just don't care about their bad design, or stand behind their product!! i will never buy a product from them again. The air box has an opening with one tab protruding out so when the blend door closes it stops at the tab, well the tab isn't strong enough to receive the impact of the door slamming it and breaks off thus jamming closed or falling off, the engineers at delmar chrysler figured this out and engendered a new box with two tabs so it wont break yet the service dept at the dealers keep replacing the doors and not the entire box (because it's a bigger more expensive job) and that's why some people have had it fixed several times, because they are not fixing it correctly so in turn you then are out of warranty and now it cost the consumer to fix this expensive poorly engineered box that they know is a design flaw.sad, very sad. Daimler chrysler put this newly designed box in their 2007 and newer models and have not one complaint, so why wont they recall these bad design boxes and broken blend doors (which are the number one biggest problem with the 2006 trucks) and put their newly engineered boxes-blend doors in the trucks at their expense not the consumer, delmer chrysler knows they have a bad design and still wont own up to it, we the consumer need to flood their phones until they fix this poorly engineered very expensive problem that they created until they recall it. This problem is a safety issue because you cannot control where the air flow is going like the windshield for visibility in foggy or snowy conditions,forced to pul over cant see, thank you in advance for taking the time and effort putting pressure on them to correct their mistake.
Driveshaft fell off while driving.
My blinker lever does not work properly.when i use the left turn signal it started to blink to the right.throughout the rest of the day it would do this intermittently.i was going down a heavy traffic area and used my left turn signal.a car two lanes over slightly behind me starting honking their horn at me because it was attempting to go one lane over to the right.we both tried to go into the middle lane at the same time and i initially thought it was the other driver's fault.i looked at my blinker lever and i did have it in the correct position for a left signal.i then looked at my light display for the blinker and it was flashing to the right.my wife told me about this happening before without me in the vehicle but this i finally got to experience it myself.if it wasnt for my awareness and the other vehicle honking their horn, then we would have collided.ever since that day i experienced it myself, i have noticed it happening more frequently now.sometimes i use the blinker lever and i get no turn signal at all anymore except for pressing the lever harder down or up.i am now more concerned about correct turn signals coming from the lever and it takes away from my situational awareness while driving.
When coming to a stop or turning the engine shuts off.no power steering or brakes when this happens. Also shuts of when slowing down to turns.no check engine light and no diagnostic codes. Dealer has had the vehicle for over 2 weeks now. It has died at least 15 times in the last 4 months. I almost hit a vehicle and curbs.
Filler port replacement for 2006 dodge 1500 notbeing recalled although 2007/2008 were (please see recall number x49 and x53). Vehicle stalled on low idle and during turns.

Dash heat and air vent deflectors inside the dash brake and do not work proper.dealership knows what the ongoing problem is but they want 12 to 15 hundred to fix it.
When filling gas tank after the gas pump handle clicks shut to stop flow from the hose the gas from the tank comes back through the fill line and pours out over the side of the truck, approximately 1 pint so it is quite a spill.this happens at every gas station, i use gasoline with 10% ethanol gas, and if i stop the gas flow from the hose manually it also happens.
Heat blend doors are not functioning and stuck on vent. Got heat but not at defroster or floor. As a resident in ohio and it being winter there is no way to defrost windows in inclamate weather. Was using the defroster then tried to swith it to foor as it was no longer neccesary to be using the defroster only to have the system get stuck on the vent position. I belive the problem to be the mode 1 door is broken as it is, as well as the other4 doors in the heater box all made of plastic and accuator motors that have too much torque. These doors should be made out of steel and breakage would not occure and dodge should recall the vehickles to replace the defective parts at no cost to the vehicle owners. This could lead to death under the right conditions.
Dodge is aware of this issue.they have updated the part and there are many customer paid repairs.the control box for the heating and a/c system is defective and breaks at the blend door.when this happens, the blend door no longer works and it disables the defroster and a/c.on cool or cold days, the windshield can suddenly fog up and there is no way to clear the view as air does not blow in that direction.on hot days, the system can not push air out enough to keep the driver from excessive heat.the part number is 68004226ac.this part has been supersession chain of about 4 other numbers as dodge corrected design flaws over the years.i would also note that because this involved a/c and heating, many people do not notify nhtsa of the concern, but it is very well documented and known.it is a very common problem that causes driving issues without being reported.
I was on my way home with my children in my truck cruising along at about 55 mph when out of nowhere the steering wheel started wobbling very horribly.so, i stopped in a gas station parking lot that was out by the interstate and called a few people and tried to take a look at it.the rf wheel was extremely hot but couldn't find anything else wrong with it.if i got above 50 mph the wobble got bad but if i kept it around 45mph, it was not as bad and was able to drive home.had it looked at and nobody could seem to find the issue.we tried changing the brakes on it from the caliper down to the brake pads but it didn't fix the issue.i don't hardly drive it now due to not knowing if it is going to do it and when something bad is going to happen.especially if i have my 4 children in the truck with me.
Suspension/brakes: front end wheel bearing vibration/rubbing noise. Replaced several sets of worn tires after spending $189.00 through firestone for lifetime alignments/tire balance/rotations the constant rubbing vibration noise have not alleviated. Brake rotors warped & replaced because of the issue with the pitman arm & front wheel bearings. Chrysler recall campaigns f05, g02, n62, nhtsa campaign 13v528000, 10e040000, 10e013000, 07v038000, 06v038000. Front wheel bearings still noisy, front end vibration still present & alignments constantly necessary. Service bulletins 08-004, 41, & 1900805 related to suspension steering part of this issue. Electrical: ignition key locking up & unable to turn the key to start the vehicle. Had to forcibly turn or wiggle the steering wheel, which is locked, in order to get the key to turn.numerous occasions had to leave the vehicle & return in the future to attempt to turn the ignition key. Turn signal (service bulletin 08-002-12) flashes &intermittent wipers operate incorrectly. Sudden flashing back & forth of signals has almost caused car crashes on numerous occasions. Intermittent wipers stop suddenly at mid windshield point obstructing view. Both operated from the same left handle. Cruise control surges constantly when engaged. Numerous occasions surged suddenly on a hill or bridge almost causing loss of control. Tachometer shows anywhere from 0 to 250 rpm when stopped & has caused stalling of the engine. Operating the vehicle at speed (55mpm for instance), it only shows 1000rpm.during the period of ownership had to replace 3 batteries.this seems excessive for the age of the vehicle.therefore, considering all the electrical related issues there must be a defect since all of these problems still exist. Service bulletin 5015 related to electrical systems are also parts of this issue.
2006 1500 series dodge pick up truck customer states that the parts are not available and they have been waiting since december 2006**ccthe consumer has received 3 recall notices and there are no parts available for any of the recalls.
The truck has had intermittent problems with the front end, assembly on right and left side. The truck was repaired by the shop and still not able to perform correctly. Firestone investigated the truck after it was fixed with me taking it back to the shop to get re-fixed. Now after it has been fixed again, the axle area is still popping and i don't know if it is fixed or not. I am tired of spending my money on it. I want to blame the shop but i think it is a manufacturer error. Also, with these front end issues. The front end hit a dip in the road at about 30-35--no dip warning and locked up the front end. I spent nearly $1000 replacing brakes, calipers, and rotors. Not to mention the 300-500 replacing front end parts on this truck. Updated 12/08/2017
I had an accident related to the driver's side grab handle. I never usually use it to get into the truck, but decided to use it on june 7th, 2017.the truck is hardly ever driven and in very, very good condition. The grab handle was not loose in any way prior to the accident and had never been worked on or replaced. When i grabbed the handle to pull myself into the truck, which was stationary and parked in a driveway, the whole panel ripped right off and sent me falling hard to the asphalt driveway. I fell about 3 feet. By the way, i only weigh about 120 lbs. The fall caused me to break my left hip. I laid in the driveway screaming in excruciating pain and for help until someone found me. An ambulance transported me to a hospital. I had a partial hip replacement due to the hip fracture. Upon inspection, it looked like the panel/grab handle was secured into the body of the truck by plastic discs and clips! i was shocked and assumed something like that would've been secured by a more sturdy material. This accident has been physically and financially devastating for me.

As i was driving down flat pavement, my truck accelerated on it's own. I pulled my foot off the pedal and it continued to accelerate at the same speed for approximately fifteen seconds. I was not using the cruise control and it was not wet weather, so there were dry driving conditions. I drive a peterbilt truck for a living and i transport cars, and trucks of all size and makes, so i know what is not right for a vehicle engine. I would like to see dodge take responsibility for this and be able to have this looked at by a trained dodge mechanic. My wife is frightened to drive this truck now and we have our son who rides in this truck too. Sure would like to see them in asafe vehicle, was hoping dodge was it.
Dt*: the contact stated while turning left, the vehicle accelerated without warning across traffic and collided with a retaining wall.also, the brakes failed.the contact was rendered unconscious and sustained neck injuries.the vehicle was taken to a service dealer, who was unable to determine the cause of the problem.
2006 dodge ram 1500 big horn edition hemiyesterday i went to pass a truck and floored the pedal, i went to let up and noticed the pedal was stuck. So i slightly hit the brake but that didn't do much at 85 mph and accelerating. Was late at night and no 1 on the road so i let it accelerate and tried messing with the gas pedal with my foot but nothing would pop it out. So with the speedometer buried past 120 i put it into neutral came to a stop on side of the road. Tried messing with the gas pedal with my hand but nothing would pop it out. So sitting with rpms maxed out in neutral and no way to disengage the acceleration i turned the truck off and immediately the gas pedal popped out. I started the truck back up and drove home 50 miles with no incidents i just didn't floor the gas pedal.but next day wanted to see if i could recreate the incident. So on a safe road to try it i floored the pedal and same exact thing it got stuck only way to unstick is turn truck off. I did this 5 times and every time it happens. There is no mats or anything catching on pedal and no way to manually pull the pedal out it is really stuck when this happens. Only thing to get it unstuck is turn truck off and it pops out like instantly.truck is sitting in my driveway and i am able to recreate the problem at any time.im posting this for some suggestions on what i should do? possible lawsuit? report it to who? or just take it to dealership and get charged to fix it and no report of malfunctioning truck? if this had happened the first time during daylight or commute traffic not late night who knows what would have happened. And there are few reports of same thing happening to similar dodge trucks on the various dodge forums.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving approximately 25 mph, the vehicle would not accelerate and the steering suddenly malfunctioned. The contact was unable to control the vehicle and crashed into a tree. No injuries were reported and a police report was not filed. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and repaired. The contact was not aware of the exact repairs made to the vehicle. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 94,000.
If you apply hard pressure to the brake pedal, the pedal will travel almost to the floor going past the gas pedal. The gas and brake pedals are fairly close together and if your foot is off set on the brake pedal, your shoe will catch the gas pedal when pressing down on the brake pedal.this will cause the engine to speed up while you are trying to stop the vehicle.trying to stop the vehicle at the same time you are making it go faster, just isn't very good.
1) the windshield wiper module assembly and fluid froze.that in turn shorted out the totally integrated power module (main computer)was told fcm internal fault needs tipm.do not have windshield wiper fluid.2) 1-27-10 heater/defroster quit working.had to replace the blower motor assembly.when replacing found a broken door in the motor assembly.have not replaced the door. 3) very bad front end vibration.was just told that both bearings need to be replaced. 4) check engine light with code need exhaust gas recirculation system valve.
When turn left turn signal on right turn signal comes on and vice versa. Windshield wipers sometimes will only work on low speed.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge ram 1500. The contact stated that the turn signals, windshield wipers, and hazard lights failed intermittently. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who performed a diagnostic test, but was unable to duplicate the failure. The dealer replaced the multi functional switch, but the failure was not remedied. The failure continued. The vehicle was not repaired a second time. The failure mileage was 40,000 and the current mileage was 64,200.
While driving towards flagstaff at night in the rain, the wipers went off. After i pressed the wash control, the wiper function, washed the window and wiped it enough to allow us to pull over. The wipers continued to work sporadically allowing us to creep to town for the night. Now, they do not work at all and we are waiting for the repair service to obtain back ordered parts. This was very dangerous and we were fortunate to have avoided a serious accident.surely this function is a safety issue.
2006 dodge ram 1500 windows have frost,ice,or fog on them making it impossible to see to drive safely. The dealership's estimate is for $850.00 to replace a blender door with a new 2007 door because the original unit breaks to easily.
Well some times the wipers will not work or do not work properly and the signals are completely different than chosen it does this most all the time i can press forward on the switch lever sometimes and get it to work properly but sometimes it does not.
2006 dodge ram 1500 blower door broken can't control where heat is directed, cant defrost windshield.
Recirculation door on heating/cooling system broke off inside duct work and was resting on the blower fan of 2006 dodge ram 1500. Cannot use defrost mode because broken door is restricting air flow. Seems to be a common problem with 2003-2008 dodge ram trucks. Truck has 26,000 mile and is out of warranty. Dealer wants 850-1,000 dollars to repair.
Purchased a new 2006 dodge quad cap at 33,000 miles the turn signal switch malfunctioned (if you signal to turn right the left signal would come on, and vise-versa, high beam would not turn off after getting it turned on, windshield wipers, would turn while signaling, and stop periodically during rain storms). The dealer replaced the faulty switch, and at 54,000 miles the switch malfunctioned again, and is doing same things.
Air no longer blows out of defroster. Windows fog up.
Turn signals fail to work completely, or right turn signal will activate while using left signal or vise-versa. Headlights will fail while this "multi-function switch" shorts out. No wipers, no turn signals, no lights.
The vehicle is a 2006 dodge ram 1500 quad cab. While driving on a freeway at the posted speed limit of 70 mph the windshield became fogged unexpectedly and wood not clear. No air would exit the defroster vents and the system was stuck in the vent mode. The result was a near high speed collision as i was not able to see the highway. This has happened 4 times this season and the local dodge dealer states that dodge is aware of the problem indicating that the system will require a new housing and heating door. The estimate for the repair is between $800 and $1000. I have spent $85 to have the problem looked at and estimated. At this time the vehicle has no floor heat, and the defroster works only intermittently and compromises visibility in certain weather conditions. This problem first presented itself with 65,000 miles on the truck and continues to be an ongoing problem even after the parts were replaced last winter season by and independent repair shop with dodge parts. It worked ok for a while, but is acting up again. The dealer stated that moisture causes a door to stick and break.
2006 dodge ram 1500 with several problems. Consumer states that the vehicles main rear engine seal blown. Multi hemi motor has no power. Brakes have been replaced twice, wheel bearings were replaced due to a recall, plus other recalls were fixed.the abs had a minor vibration when the brakes were applied hard. The consumer had air condition, stereo and heater problems.
The recirculation door broke for the heater and air conditioning.this problem causes a low flow rate because the door blocks the fan opening, which leads to fogged windows and snow buildup on the windshield.dodge is aware of the problem and has reengineering the door assembly, but is not fixing vehicles with the problem if the vehicle is out of warranty, instead they are charging customers for the parts and labor to fix the problem.this is an obvious defect, but dodge is not repairing vehicles with the problem, instead they are charging customers for their mistake.my truck is a 2006 dodge ram 1500 with only 35,000+ miles on it, but outside of dodge's 3 yr or 36,000 mile warranty.please make them recall this issue.google "2006 dodge ram 1500 recirculation door" and you will see how many people have had this same problem.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge ram 1500. The contact stated that both turn signals and the windshield wipers failed. If the left signal was engaged the right signal would come on. When the right was engaged the left signal would come on. Whenever the windshield wipers were on they would automatically switch to a high or low mode intermittently. The dealer or manufacturer werecontacted. The failure mileage was 110,000.
Hvac system blend air door failed. Preventing control of air to windshield during inclement weather conditions.
I own 2006 dodge ram 1500 mega cab the turn signal and wiper switch works at best some of the time it is impossible to use the turn signals when they are turned on they just go haywire and the windshield wipers have to be turned on and of to get to work then they stop.trying to get dodge to fix the issue..
No air from ac vents - defective design of recirculating door.
The blend door on my truck broke. This door is used to mix outside air for the hvac system. The door prevents air flow through the vents.
Turn signals fail to operate correctly .when left turn signal switch is operated the right signal flashes ..the windshieldwipers fail to operate...
I have a 2006 dodge ram quad cab and recently the turn signal / wiper switch has been acting up.quite often when i push down to turn the left turn signal on the right comes on and there are times when no turn signal comes on at all. I was almost rear-ended because of this.also sometimes the wipers will not come out of intermittent no matter what setting i have them on.again this almost caused an accident because during a heavy rainstorm all that i couldget to work was intermittent.i have read online of other 2006 dodge ram owners having these same issues.this is a huge safety concern and should be recalled.
A recall is definitely in order here for the cabin air blend door breaking, 2006 through 2002 models have had a large number of complaints filed and in 2006 had the most filed yet in 2007 zero complaints filed for this problem , let me explain why. I contacted daimler chrysler filed a complaint and got nowhere, they just don't care about their bad design, or stand behind their product!! i will never buy a product from them again. The air box has an opening with one tab protruding out so when the blend door closes it stops at the tab, well the tab isn't strong enough to receive the impact of the door slamming it and breaks off thus jamming closed or falling off, the engineers at delmar chrysler figured this out and engendered a new box with two tabs so it wont break yet the service dept at the dealers keep replacing the doors and not the entire box (because it's a bigger more expensive job) and that's why some people have had it fixed several times, because they are not fixing it correctly so in turn you then are out of warranty and now it cost the consumer to fix this expensive poorly engineered box that they know is a design flaw.sad, very sad. Daimler chrysler put this newly designed box in their 2007 and newer models and have not one complaint, so why wont they recall these bad design boxes and broken blend doors (which are the number one biggest problem with the 2006 trucks) and put their newly engineered boxes-blend doors in the trucks at their expense not the consumer, delmer chrysler knows they have a bad design and still wont own up to it, we the consumer need to flood their phones until they fix this poorly engineered very expensive problem that they created until they recall it. This problem is a safety issue because you cannot control where the air flow is going like the windshield for visibility in foggy or snowy conditions,forced to pul over cant see, thank you in advance for taking the time and effort putting pressure on them to correct their mistake.
All control of defroster, heat and a/c was lost. Fan continued to operate with no way to clear windshield, heat or cool truck. Dodge had knowledge of failure and update to correct. This was not covered under the factory warantee and is a safty issue as far as i am concerned. You must be able to see thru the windshield to drive.
The problem started a few months ago, but i thought it had corrected itself. The past few weeks it has been a constant problem and will not stop. When turning the wipers on mist, they do not work. I have to switch it to the next setting to make them move. The blinkers are either working intermittently or not at all. When turning left, the right one comes one, both flash and stop or it will switch from one to the other. The same thing happens when turning right. Turning on the brights does not work either. It makes the washer fluid and wipers work.
I have a 2006 dodge 1500 and my blinkers and my windshield wipers are not working properly. When i signal to turn left the right blinker comes on. And the windshield wipers on low start going really fast. This is very frustrating. It started at about 69,000 miles.
My 2006 dodge ram truck turns on the wrong turn signal, for instance if i am making a right turn and i push the stalk up, the left turn signal turns on. This is an intermittent problem and sometimes my turn signals work and sometimes they do not. I also have the related problem that i have no control over my windshield wipers. When i turn them on, they will stay on for minutes at a time on a high speed and not turn off. Other times they will only go one or two times and shut off completely while it is pouring rain.
When u turn the signals on they go the opposite way or completely go off it causes the break lights to goout as well this is a major safety issue and can result in a crash this should have been recalled along time ago why haven't you done anything i my self feel this is a major safety issue it gives everyone a false direction and results "wreck" i have had multiple incidents with this it happens frequently i have replaced bulbs and it is not the problem the problem is in the factory screw up.
Heater door broken and made defrosting very slow. This appears to be a constant problem on dodge trucks etc.
There has be a number of occasions this has happened about probably 100 times but paid not much attention until this winter. The turn signal level is also used to turn on the wipers on the vehicle. The problem arises when the vehicle lights are turned on, the wipers are on, and the turn signal are turned on. For no reason the turn signal from the opposite side of the vehicle is the one that operates. Normally when you are turning to the right the turn signal does not turn on andthe left side signal turn on. In order to alleviate this problem i have to turn the wipers off completely. This causes a problem because this impairs visibility an also is giving other drivers the wrong signals. I have no idea what caused this issue but since i reside in the state of virginia it is a requirement that when it rains you must turn your lights and wipers this has caused me a problems since i depend on this vehicle and when it snows or rain i cannot operate the vehicle. I am taking the vehicle to the dodge dealer tomorrow to see what is the problem. I have not caused any accidents. Some drivers had got aggravated since some times i give them the wrong turn signals. The incidents have occurred many times in the last 8 months and i have noted that is getting more frequent since we have got more snow and rain in the north east i whish i can provide specific dated but it has happened so many times that i got tired of it and i am taking the vehicle to the dealer tomorrow. I am putting today as the most current date.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge ram 1500. The contact stated that she was unable to control the defrosting in the vehicle causing it to obscure her visibility. The vehicle was inspected by a dealer who informed the contact that she needed to replace the fractured recirculation door and parts. The vehicle was repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 22,000.updated 02/23/11
Blend door on the hvac system has failed. Unable to get heat up to the windshield for proper defrost/defogging. Dealership states that this is an ongoing issue for the 2006 ram 1500 and that the 2007 ram 1500 featured a design change that corrected this issue.
My 2006 dodge ram 1500 is having issues with the signals and wipers.serious problem when i am driving in the rain and my left blinker says i'm turning right and vice versa.wipers not working at all. I was caught in the rain today and manually had to flip my wipers and signals almost caused a wreck.
I have a 2006 dodge ram 1500 quad cab.my a/c, heat, or defrost has not worked properly since i bought it used in 2008. I can hear the flan blowing hard but hardly any air comes out of any of the vents.my concern is that it does not defrost my windows properly and could cause an accident in the future. I have been lucky enough to be living in texas for most of my military career but am planning on moving to a cooler climate and i know that not being able to defrost my windows will become an issue.it also becomes an issue on long trips when i can't get the cab cooled enough when it's 110 degrees outside and can't get it below 95 degrees inside my truck.
Dodge is aware of this issue.they have updated the part and there are many customer paid repairs.the control box for the heating and a/c system is defective and breaks at the blend door.when this happens, the blend door no longer works and it disables the defroster and a/c.on cool or cold days, the windshield can suddenly fog up and there is no way to clear the view as air does not blow in that direction.on hot days, the system can not push air out enough to keep the driver from excessive heat.the part number is 68004226ac.this part has been supersession chain of about 4 other numbers as dodge corrected design flaws over the years.i would also note that because this involved a/c and heating, many people do not notify nhtsa of the concern, but it is very well documented and known.it is a very common problem that causes driving issues without being reported.
The windshield wipers just stop working.it would occasionally work at times but it wouldn't correspond to the correct speed.you can put the wipers on the fastest setting and it will only work on the slowest setting or just work intermittently and sometimes not work at all.this seems to be a common problem with other owners of the 2006 dodge ram 1500 and maybe it is adefective control module or defective fuse box.
At first the wipers would stop randomly (while driving in a rainstorm) but i would fiddle with the switch and they would normally come back on.in the last week theybasically quit working altogether other than a random stroke here or there.i replaced the wiper/signal control switch on the steering column yesterday thinking it must be worn out.to no avail, the wipers are not working and after researching on the internet, i find that it is a very common problem.people are replacing parts,spending money at service centers and not getting the problem solved.i live in the rainy northwest and i can tell you that it is a big safety issue not being able to see in front of you while navigating i-5 at 70mph at some random point during a trip. This problem started over a year ago but was always a momentary thing and would resolve itself, but it is now a permanent problem and i wish i knew what part replacement would resolve it.
Blower blend doors/ defrost doors that send airflow to windshield for proper visibility. Outside air doors that allow frigid air to mix with air being delivered to windshield allowing for freezing of moisture in air on windshield. Doors failed due to defective inferior plastic materials being connected to drive motors. This failure is prevalent among 2002- up ram pickups from my research online.

After owning a dodge 1500 2006 mega cab for 4 years had to replace the multi function switch it stopped working had no wipers high beamsor signals. 5 years later have the same thing happen seems like an on going problem with these switches. When the don't work make it a safety issue due to no wipers, signals, or high beams...
The contact owns a 2006 dodge ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving 20 mph, he heard a loud clunking noise. The heater then failed, causing the air to flow toward the floorboard. In addition, the windshield could not be cleared using the defroster and the windshield became fogged, blocking the contact's visibility of the roadway. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but did not offer any assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and current mileage was 84,000.returned by usps. 2nd attempt on 2/21/2013 failed.
In driving rain, and on a major highway, the windshield wipers suddenly stopped working.i had to repeatedly turn them on in order to clear the rain from the windshield.there was a recall for this very defect and for this year vehicle.i called chrysler, but its customer service person, dennis, refused to honor the recall, claiming the vin wasn't included.he also, magnanimously, offered to "reimburse" for the expense "if the recall is expanded."unacceptable response and obvious, blatant lack of concern for safety, and especially for this vehicle which it knows has this very defect.
Defrost won't work. Heat works on floor and vents. I understand from on line forums that this is an on going problem with these trucks. I feel this is a safety issue and this need recall. Someone is going to get hurt or killed some day because of this.
This first started a few years after i got the truck which i bought new. Occasionally when i would turn on my left turn signal, the right or both would come on. This would also make my windshield wipers not function correctly. Dealer replaced the multi function switch. Same thing happened 3 more times over the next few years. Now its happening again.i have narrowly avoided 2 accidents because of this happening. Next, the heater/ac only works through the defrost vents. In the summer when using ac the windshield starts to freeze on the inside. Causing visibility issues. Also when using heat or ac the tachometer bounces around not reading correctly. All these electrical problems concern me. Just waiting for the truck to catch fire going down the road!! dodge has not been much of a help. $300 a piece for multi function switch. $800 to fix the heater. And they can't figure our the tachometer. I have sent videos of the tachometer messing up, complained about the milking function switch. But nothing. All these problems definitely affect the safety. Please help. Lots of other people have the same problems.
Blend door failure (hvac) on 2006 dodge ram. Renders the hvac systems in-op, no air flow through the ducts (no heat, no defogging, no a/c). This a design issue that has plagued dodge for numerous years in the rams series of trucks. Chyrsler has chosen not to correct this is an perform a recall. Repair is not covered under warranty and is quite expensive, $800-$2000 depending on local labor rates.
Here in texas some days tend to be hotter then others from time 2 time... I have a fully loaded 2006 dodge ram 1500 that i honestly enjoy driving; although my problems begins with that [xxx] blending door... Cool a/c air only blows from the driver side which inreturn leaves my passenger side warm... Not good when i got a lil honey on that side asking me why i'm not sweating like she is... The part is only $43 bucks to replace. And it's been replaced 3 times already. Cheap ass plastic.... Also the rubber sealing around the sunroof isn't thick enough to with stand the opening and closing for a long period of time..go figure... Something needs to be done asap or dodge might find alot of there vehicles on the side of the rode behind plain bs.
While driving on the interstate a few weeks ago, my windshield fogged over.unbeknownst to me the recirculation door on my '06 dodge ram 1500 truck had broken. Because the broken door blocked the airflow for the defroster, i could not clear the fog from the windshield.i was extremely lucky that i was able to roll the driver's side window down in time to keep from rear-ending the car in front of me.when i took the truck to the local dodge dealer, they indicated that this is a very common problem for certain ram trucks.as a matter of fact, the dealer also said that they keep the "newly designed" housings in stock to ensure that they can meet the demand for the repairs.
Winding noise at low speed also have problem with head light it don't turn on (driver side ) directional door for a/c heather broken.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge ram 1500. The contact stated while driving approximately 35 mph, the h back blend air door failed. The contact was no longer able to control the air flow to the windshield. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing. The dealer advised that the replacement h back blend air door was not covered under the vehicle warranty. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 42,000 and the current mileage was 50,000.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge ram 1500.the contact engaged the window defroster but no air would blow from the air vents. The dealer was unable to duplicate the failure and advised the vehicle was operating as designed. The contact stated the failure was present from the date of purchase. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 1,000 and the current mileage was 19,000.
Recirculation door on heating/cooling system broke off inside duct work and was resting on the blower fan of 2006 dodge ram 1500 2x2 mega cab. Cannot use defrost mode because broken door is restricting air flow. Seems to be a common problem with 2003-2008 dodge ram trucks. Truck has 65,000 mile and is out of warranty. Dealer wants 1,200.00 dollars to repair. I had another policy that covered the whole cost of repair. Policy runs out 2013 or 125,000 miles which ever comes first. Love my truck though!
The contact owns a 2006 dodge ram 1500.the contact stated that the heating and air conditioning system has malfunctioned.the blend door broke that the controls the air flow. The dealer informed the contact that there was not a problem with the case door and that the manufacturer will not be responsible for the repairs. The contact is concerned about the safety risks since this the case door controls the defroster and is impossible for the contact to see out of the windows when the defroster malfunctions. The failure mileage was 55,000.updated 2/1/10 updated 02/02/10.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge ram 1500. While driving 55 mph, the contact engaged the front windshield defroster and there was a lack of air circulation. The contact had to pull off the roadway to wipe the windshield off and repeated twice throughout her travel. The dealer advised that the heater box door was fractured. The vehicle was not repaired. The vin was not available. The failure mileage was unknown and the current mileage was 58,000.
Truck was involved in pass side front crash, resulting in pass wheel separating from truck, since truck was repaired heater deflector does not work correctly to blow heat and or defrost correctly, ins wants proof it happened in accident. No inside of truck damaged dealer say can not prove. Deflector broke during collision with tree, was working before accident, maybe deployment of airbag caused there is a problem with deflectors now windows ae steaming up vision is impaired, and no heat on feet are, very dangerous situation.
The defrost portion of the hvac unit does not work and has only worked intermitantly for several years. At first i could not get any air on the feet position, but thought this was just low air flow. The defrost now does not work and doesnt matter what position i have the unit on, floor, defrost etc. This to me is a safety issue and i see numerous complaints regarding the same issue. I dont believe it has ever worked properly. When you need the defrost, it is usually out of concern for visility. This is a safety concern for many other ram owners.
Can you tell me if there is a safety recall for the recir ac/heat flapper. Mine broke and blocked the ac from blowing...also can you tell me if there is any recalls that my truck is eligible for.this is not a complaint just general info wasn't sure where to send my request. If this is the wrong email address please provide correct address.. Thank you
The heater in my truck does not blow in the direction that the control knob is directing it to. This is an ongoing problem according to carcomplaint.com with this make, model and year. I had it repaired on 03/02/2010 at a cost of almost 800.00 dollars. The problem has returned again on 11/14/2010. In order to repair the problem the vent deflector door must be replaced, which involves removing the entire dash. That is what i'm told by the dealer. My windows fog up while driving and the driver cannot change the direction of the airflow, the floor will get ice cold, all at unknown times......please look into this issue.
The ac recirculation dooris brokenwithin the fan chambercausing restricted air floe to heat the interioror to coolbought used this yearand dealer sold with issueeven though it is a known issue'afraid to run heat or acas it may overheat the fan motorcausing a fire.
The a/c won't blow on 1, 2 or 3, only on high and i've heard this from other owners who own the dodge ram bighorn.our vehicle s a 2006 with only 33,690 which we just purchased from the dodge dealership located in merritt island florida.we purchased this vehicle5 days ago and the a/c was working fine, pulled up in our driveway last night and just stopped working. My husband went through the low to high settings and the only setting it will work on is high. In researching this on the internet, we've seen this complaint on this vehicle over and over.has dodge put out a recall on this model yet?
Dt*:the contact stated that the rear window had leaked during raining conditions.mold began to grow in the vehicle because the problem was discovered two months after the incident occurred.the dealership has replaced the rear window and installed a new track.
My 2006 dodge ram pick up has had intermittent problems with the wiper blades coming on, or not, slowing down or speeding up with out assistance from the operator. Last week my turn signals started to act up. I turn the left signal on, it shows up inside and out as a right turn, or nothing at all. My emergency flashers are not working either. I had to turn them on and only the right blinker came on, then everything shut down. I can not count on making a lane change safely, i can not count on my wipers working in the rain, and if i have an emergency stop, i can not use my emergency flashers.
Currently my dodge ram 1500 is having a problem with the multifunction turn signal.if you try to signal a turn the wrong blinker comes on, if you try to turn your high beams on or off the washer fluid comes on, if you try to turn the windshield wipers on they rarely work often getting stuck in the intermittent phase.i first found this problem when my windshield wipers would not come on in a flash thunderstorm while i was traveling on a highway at 65 mph.this is going to cause an accident, if you look there are too many people having this same problem for dodge to ignore it.if an accident occurs i will be taking any legal actions i can to make dodge liable, i just hope that nobody is hurt or killed before it is too late.
I have a problem with the windshield wipers on my 2006 dodge ram 1500 quad cab. They will not run for more than one to two minutes on continuous wipe. After that time they will only wipe at an intermittent speed which varies from once every two seconds to once every twenty to thirty seconds, whatever they feel like wiping at. This is a very dangerous situation which i found out just the other day while traveling home from work in a steady rain. During the trip home it became very difficult to see and very unsafe. It is a very insecure feeling not knowing when your wipers will clear your windshield again in a steady rain.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge ram 1500. While driving approximately 35 mph, the contact attempted to engage the left turn signal but it did not respond. The failure had become intermittent and when engaging the turn signals either the opposite turn signal would illuminate or neither would function. He also stated that the windshield wiper would not operate intermittently. The vehicle was not examined for the cause of failure and was not repaired. The contact stated that the multifunction switch was previously replaced to correct the failure. The vin was not available.the failure and current mileage was 55,000.
I have a 2006 dodge ram 1500 slt that when you turn the left turn signal on the right turn signal flashes. When you turn the windshield wipers on the fastest speed is delay. The problem was happening once in awhile now it is happening on a daily basis. Took it to a dodge dealership they couldn't find any problem but did change the multifunction switch.
In regards to the windshield wipers:they will either not turn on at all or they willstop working while in use.at other times, my turn signals will not work.i have brought my 2007 dodge ram to the dealership to have this issue resolved, but have not had any success in their admitting to or fixing the problem.

Transmission makes load snapping noise when shifting into any gear from park.front brakes caliper sticking causing brakes and rotors to over heat creating sequel and massive amount of dust and vehicle is sluggish from the brakes sticking so acceleration is basically non existent.load humming from front wheels which leads to a shimmy and eventually a shake.
There is a (tsb 02-001-07 rev. A) that calls out a shudder, braking, shimmer... Blah blah blah... On level ground and certain speeds. My issue is not on level ground, my problem exist on decline of 7% when the brake is applied very slightly the front brakes or front suspension shudders, and shakes so violently that the entire truck and the steering wheel is out of control, if you grab to tight on the steering wheel you may over correct your steering and eventually could cause you to overturn your vehicle. There is no excuse for this, i have had my rotors changed, brakes changed, tires balanced, and rotated but the problem still exists. I am telling you that this is a very dangerous situation for anyone to be in. I would love to take the owner of the dodge co. And his family for a ride. I will almost guarantee that something would get done about this issue. Rotors should last for more than 6 months, but the truck is violently out of control and too dangerous for me to allow my wife or other family members to drive this vehicle until it is fixed or i sell it. Once i sell it i will not purchase another dodge product again, i am tired of wasting my time and money on this issue. I am tired of the dealerships giving me the run around and oh it;s your rotor are quote "warped" un-quote is how it is documented on my paperwork..
I have a 2006 dodge ram that has a recall on the front wheels due to improper grease on the bearings.http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/cars/problems/recalls/results.cfmwhen contacting dodge about this problem, they said that they would not perform the recall because my truck has a rebuilt title on it.because this is a manufacture issue, i feel that it is still their responsibility to perform this because they have a recall.i understand that the warranty is void with a rebuilt title, but a recall has no effect on the warranty.if the vehicle has 200,000 miles on it, they still have to fix the recall even though the vehicles is no longer under warranty.now, my wheel is making a horrible noise, and when i jack it up, the wheel will rock back and forth.
Front wheel bearings/hub.4x4...severe grinding/ vibration in turns.bearings were dry and worn badly .this caused uncontrollable wheel movement during breaking. Loss of vehicle control in the rain when braking..luckily no damage to vehicle in incident.

I purchased this vehicle from a used car dealer in clanton, alabama in april 2014. I was driving to my mom's, who lives in mississippi when i came upon a bridge on the interstate while passing a 18 wheeler. When entering the bridge there was a small bump up and when the front wheels of the truck hit the bump the front of the truck started bouncing (death bounce or roll) uncontrollable.i had to cut off the 18 wheeler that i was passing and pulled to the side of the interstate and come to a complete stop for it to stop. It happened 4 more times before i got to my destination andit has happened on numerous occasions since and causing me to almost wreck each time.this is a very dangerous problem with this vehicle. You have no control over the steering while it is doing this it just bounces you all over the road. I have talked to a mechanic and he said it was the entire front end of all dodge trucks that was causing this problem and had to be replaced. I wish to have an investigation on this matter, please.with only 82k miles on this truck the entire frt end should not be bad!! this problem, i was told by the mechanic was a defect from factory and should have been a recall on the entire frt suspension not just the tie rod, because the tie rod is not correcting the death bounce/roll problem with this trucks. I have a young son and a grand baby who has to ride in this vehicle and i do not feel safe driving this truck with my self in it. I will be looking forward to hearing from you.thank you very much.
Turning left or right and sometimes backing up, the truck constantly squeaks.i had the hubs replaced recently as the mechanic said that was the problem but it wasn't.i don't want something to fall out from under the truck or lock up.i was at at local lowe's recently and a woman was backing her dodge truck to load lumber and it was making the same noises as mine.

Front wheel bearings had to be replaced at 36384 miles. The bearings had just been replaced on july 11, 2008 under manufacturers recall g02. At that time it had 13,971 miles. This time it came out of my pocket. It seems that they haven't solved the problem.

5 months ago my vehicle started a vibration in the steering wheel as i would drive and then my truck would shake as slowing....i went to the dealership for a fuel service and was notified of several recalls including a hub assembly that i had replaced the year before. I was told i would be called within 2 weeks to schedule a appt to have it fixed but when i attempted to call, the person i had talked to was let go or fired...since then i have been going to school and working fulltime. 2 weeks ago mytruck started with a noise sounding like a squeal/squeak...and i was told it just needed penetrating oil but the noise has gotten worse....
Wheel hub assembly are coming off, i hear noise, and broken exhaust manifold bolts
I have 3 safety recalls for my 2006 dodge ram 1500. I have called union dodge in garden grove,ca, where i purchased the auto, 3 times to schedule appointments to fix the problems. Each time i have been told that a part for one of the repairs is not in stock but that when the parts come ini will receive a call back.i'm still waiting for that call back?of course the letter and call i did get from union dodge was asking me to rate their service as top notch so they can get the 5 star award from chrysler!! i'm done dealing with union dodge but would still like my 3 safety recall items fixed.any advice or help is greatly appreciated.
Vibrationand noisewhile moving-- abs light on. I took the vehicle for repair and was told both front wheel hub and bearings were bad.i was then made aware that there was a recall on this years truck's front wheel hub and bearing units . I called chrysler and was told that this vin was not part of the recall even though it was manufactured one month from the reported recalled vehicles and manufactured at one of the plants in question in missouri.please have the dates checked on the recall before someone gets hurt.
Started hearing a low howling noise in my front end when going around curves in the road, it progressively got louder after a couple weeks to a grinding sound,took it to the dealer where i bought it performance dodge, woodbury, nj. They stated that both front wheel bearings were bad. I told the service manager that i heard there was a recall on my year model for that very reason, he stated that he never heard of it, i informed him of the reason for the recall, and his answer was that my truck was 6 years old and those things wear out. I said are you crazy the truck has only 38000 miles on it, his answer was it was a good thing i purchased a extened sevice contract. It cost me $107.00 deductable.i called chrysler and was told there was no recall on my truck.this was my first chrysler product and if this is how they stand behind there product, when they were aware that there was a problem at the factory it will be my last. My truck should have been part of that recall, just like many others that were not.i will be trading it in for a ford next year. Now i know why the govt. Had to bail chrysler out so many times.

In 2008, i purchased the above described 2006 vehicle brand new through the dodge dealer with 400 miles on the odometer. At 49,085 miles, 09/18/2012, i've had to replace the lf wheel hub bearings at my personal expense.this mechanical work was completed through the dodge dealer.the dodge dealer warranty the work for 1 year.1.5 years later, i've encountered the exact same mechanical failure and the vehicle is in the dodge dealer service shop again, as of today's date of 06/27/2014, now for the third (3rd) set of wheel hub bearings.due to the frequency of this type of mechanical failure, i looked on the internet discovering a recall for 2006 dodge ram wheel hub bearing assembly. Dodge dealer states there is no open recall for this type of described recall and will not repair the vehicle under recall provisions.confused, i phoned chrysler at 1.800.247.9753. A chrysler representative stated, according to my vin, my 2006 vehicle build date is october of 2005 and the recall is for vehicles built november 2005 and up.clearly there is a matter of build date semantics of october 2005 -vs- november 2005, but, the facts clearly show i have inferior, unsatifactory wheel-hub bearing parts installed on my 2006 vehicle.my biggest fear is the horrible scenario of complete mechanical failure happening without warning (possible wheel separation) while my family is in the vehicle and the possibility of a crash occurring. Simply put.....dodge manufacturers and dealers, please do the morally right thing and place superior parts on your vehicles and honor your work, parts and recalls & quit using semantics and splitting hairs in recall language.lives are depending on you!!!!!!this is all i respectfully ask of you.thank you.
