2006 DODGE RAM 1500 Complaints

TL*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.

TL*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 WERE CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000.

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. *TR

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.

2006 DODGE RAM 1500 BLOWER DOOR BROKEN CAN'T CONTROL WHERE HEAT IS DIRECTED, CANT DEFROST WINDSHIELD. *TR

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. *TR
