2006 DODGE RAM 1500 Complaints

TL* 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 VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THEY ADVISED HIM THAT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 54,500. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

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. *TR

MY AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT INDICATES AIRBAG FAILURE. DEALERSHIP CLAIMS IT'S MY FAULT. I BOUGHT IT NEW FOR THE SAFETY FEATURES. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHENEVER A TURN SIGNAL WAS ENGAGED, THE OPPOSITE SIGNAL WOULD ILLUMINATE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER TO HAVE THE FAILURE DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 89,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

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. *TR

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. *TR

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. *TR

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. *TT

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! *TR

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. *TR
