UPON RESTARTING MY 2006 DODGE RAM 2500 DIESEL, MY ABS LIGHT AND PARKING BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON AFTER DRIVING A FEW SHORT MOMENTS ,I ALSO NOTICED THAT SPEEDOMETER INDICATOR WAS NOT WORKING BUT THE VEHICLE RPM INDICATOR WAS. CAUSING MYSELF SOME CONCERN I CHECKED MY BRAKES AND NOTICED I HAD A HARD BRAKE PEDAL WHEN APPLIED BUT WAS STILL ABLE TO STOP. I CONTACTED MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND TOOK MY VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE FOR THIS ISSUE AND RECALL NOTICE CONCERNING THE DRIVERS AIR BAG INFLATOR. I WAS CONTACTED BACK BY MY SERVICE ADVISER, ASKING FOR APPROVAL FOR ADDITIONAL TWO HOURS OF DIAGNOSES TIME DUE TO THE FACT HIS MECHANIC COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM.I WAS NOTIFIED AT END OF THE DAY THAT THE ISSUE WAS FOUND TO BE FAULTY POWER DISTRIBUTION CENTER, OUTPUT FAILED FOR CIRCUIT F202 UNABLE TO RECOVER TIPM THRU RECONFIGURATION. NO PDC AVAILABLE THRU PARTS AT THIS TIME, FABRICATED JUMPER LEAD TO TO CIRCUIT F202 FROM FUSE 28 IN PDC. THIS IS A TEMPORARY FIX CUSTOMER ADVISED TO REPLACE PDC ASAP CURRENT PRICE $917.00 ADDITIONAL 1.5 HRS LABOR TO INSTALL AND PROGRAM UNIT . TOTAL HOURS FOR DIAGNOSIS WAS 3 HOURS AT A COST OF $315.00 TO CUSTOMER. I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD INVESTIGATED BY THE NHTSA AS A ON GOING CONCERN AND FOR CONSIDERATION OF A ISSUING A NEW SAFETY RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE.

AFTER BEING INSPECTED AT DEALERSHIP FOR PRIOR TIE ROD AND STEERING LINK RECALLS, MY RAM 2500 AT ABOUT THE 125K MILEAGE POINT BEGAN TO EXPERIENCE THE NOW WELL DOCUMENTED "DODGE DEATH RATTLLE", WHERE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE FRONT END WOULD VIOLENTLY SHIMMY. SOON THEREAFTER MY TIE ROD DID FRACTURE, CAUSING ME TO LOSE STEERING ABILITY ON A 40MPH ROADWAY, WHERE I NARROWLY AVOIDED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I HAD IT REPAIRED AT MY LOCAL SHOP AND IT WENT ANOTHER 10K BEFORE THE DODGE DEATH RATTLE REAPPEARED AGAIN, AND DESPITE NUMEROUS CHECKS ON ALIGNMENT, SHOCKS, FRONT END, THERE DID NOT SEEM TO BE AN ANSWER. THERE ALWAYS REMAINED A SHIMMY ON BUMPS ON THE HIGHWAY, AND I ONLY DROVE THIS TRUCK ON LOCAL ROADS THEREAFTER. TONIGHT BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY, THE STEERING LINK ASSEMBLY JUST FRACTURED AND I AGAIN LOST STEERING ABILITY COMPLETELY. THIS SAME RECALL WAS FOLLOWED BY ANOTHER RECALL BY DODGE ON THIS COMPONENT (H46 WAS FIRST, THEN N62) IT IS MY BELIEF THIS DEFECTIVE COMPONENTRY CAUSING THE "DEATH RATTLE" ALSO PUT SO MUCH STRESS ON THE REST OF THE FRONT END THAT THIS VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. AS I EXPLORE ON THE INTERNET IT IS QUITE OBVIOUS THAT DODGE WAS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM, AND DID NOTHING ABOUT IT FOR MY VEHICLE. I ALMOST DIED THE FIRST TIME, THANKFULLY THE SECOND TIME I WAS NOT EVEN ON THE ROAD YET ! I SPOKE WITH DODGE TONIGHT AND WAS TOLD THAT I COULD BRING IT TO A DEALER TO INSPECT AND "IF IT IS INDEED DUE TO ANY OF THE RECALLED ITEMS" THEY WOULD GLADLY REPAIR IT FOR ME AND PROVIDE ME A QUOTE. WHAT RECOURSE DO I AS AN OWNER HAVE ? THE LATER RECALLED MODELS ALL HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM, YET MY CAR IS NOT ON THEIR LIST, DO I HAVE TO TAKE THEIR WORD FOR IT THAT IT IS NOT THEIR FAULT ? AM I ENTITLED TO COMPENSATION FOR THE REPAIRS I HAVE ALREADY DONE AT MY EXPENSE ? THIS VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE AND I DO NOT WANT TO DRIVE IT AGAIN.

TRUCK IS NOT DRIVEN VERY OFTEN. I NOTICED THE POWER ADJUSTABLE BREAK PEDALS MOVES SIDE TO SIDE EARLY. BUT DO TO LACK OF DRIVING I WAS NEVER ABLE TO PHYSICALLY BRING IT TO A DEALER UNTIL JUST RECENTLY. I HAD IT THERE FOR THE AIR BAG RECALL. AND REMEMBERED TO ASK THEM TO LOOK AT THE PEDAL. THEY SAID IT WAS DEFINITELY BAD AND A SAFETY ISSUE. THEY NEVER DID THIS TYPE OF REPAIR. THEY WERE NOT SURE HOW TO DO IT AND I THINK THAT IT SHOULD BE FIXED FROM A DESIGN FAULT. I SEE THAT THIS IS SOMEWHAT COMMON FROM MY RESEARCH. ALSO I SEE THAT DODGE HAS A REPAIR KIT OUT FOR THIS FROM 2009. IF I HIT BREAK PEDAL IT WANTS TO SWING TO THE LEFT CAUSING MY FOOT TO SLIP OFF AND HIT HE ACCELERATOR.

I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE SINCE NEW AND ONLY USE FOR 6 WEEKS A YEAR AT OUR VACATION HOME. I HAVE HAD STEERING/ENGINE[INJECTORS]/DRIVELINE ISSUES BUT BIGGEST CONCERN IS THE TIPM. I MADE THE MISTAKE AND PLUGGED IN THE BOAT TRAILER AND THEN THE LEFT LOW BEAM WENT OUT. TOOK TO DEALER FOR A REFLASH AND THEY WERE ABLE TO MAKE THE HEADLIGHTS WORK BUT NOW HAVE THE TURN SIGNAL ISSUE. THEY INFORMED ME I NEED ANOTHER TIPM SO SINCE I HAVE BOUGHT 1 ALREADY[OFF WARRANTY] I AM HOPING WITH ALL THE COMPLAINTS, FIAT/RAM WILL ISSUE A RECALL AS THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE? I TURN LEFT AND THE RIGHT INDICATOR COMES ON???I WOULD RATHER HAVE NO LOW BEAM THAN THIS ISSUE. I WILL NEVER OWN A FIAT VEHICLE DUE TO MY PAST AND CURRENT ISSUES WITH THE TIPM IN THIS 2006 DODGE RAM [MADE IN MEXICO] 2500 LARAMIE WITH A 5.9 CUMMINS....
