2006 DODGE RAM 1500 Complaints

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. *TR

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. *TR

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. *TR

TL* 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.

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. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TURN SIGNALS WOULD ONLY FUNCTION ON AN INTERMITTENT BASIS. WHEN ENGAGING THE RIGHT TURN SIGNAL, THE LEFT TURN LIGHT WOULD FLASH AND VICE VERSA. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO HAVE THE FAILURE DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 82,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

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 YOU INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

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. *TR

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. *TR

TURN SIGNAL PROBLEM - SOMETIMES THE WRONG SIGNAL BLINKS CAUSING OTHER DRIVERS TO MISUNDERSTAND MY INTENT. *TR
