2006 DODGE RAM 2500 Complaints

WHEN DRIVING VEHICLE ON HIGHWAY AND HITTING BUMP IN ROAD A BAD WOBBLE OCCURS. NOTHING WAS EVER DONE TO FRONT END OTHER THAN NORMAL MAINTENANCE TO THE VEHICLE. DODGE HAS A RECALL FOR REPLACEMENT PARTS BUT NOT FOR THE ORIGINAL PARTS ON THE TRUCKS. I ALSO HAVE AN EMPLYEE THAT HAD THE SAME ISSUE ON HIS 05 DODGE RAM 2500 AND REPLACE WITH A KIT SOLD BY PAPAS DODGE IN NEW BRITAIN, CT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE RAM 2500. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 13V528000 (STEERING) BUT THE PART NEEDED FRO THE RECALL SERVICE WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO PROVIDE AN EXPECTED DATE FOR WHEN THE REMEDY PART WOULD BECOME AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. UPDATED 5/28/14*CN THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, AND INSPECTED. THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONSUMER, THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE, AND NOTHING NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE RAM 2500. HE RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE AND FEELS THE WAIT TIME WAS UNREASONABLE. WHILE DRIVING AROUND 20 MPH THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO MAKE A TURN THE STEERING WHEEL MADE A LOUD POPPING SOUND. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALERSHIP WHERE THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE LEFT TIE ROD NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED ABOUT THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 100,000 MILES.

I RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE N62/NHTSA 13V-528 REGARDING THE STEERING LINKAGE. I HAD A FAILURE OF THE LINKAGE IN 2011 AND IT WAS REPAIRED, BUT WITH THE SAME DEFECTIVE PARTS. WHEN I WENT TO THE DEALER TO HAVE HIM CHECK TO SEE IF THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN THE RECALL, AFTER INSPECTION HE STATED "YES". I WAS PUT ON A LONG LIST AND WAS TOLD IT MIGHT BE JUNE BEFORE THE REPAIR IS COMPLETED DUE TO UNAVAILABILITY OF PARTS FROM CHRYSLER. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE TO CONTINUE TO OPERATE THE VEHICLE FOR THIS LONG WITH THE POTENTIAL THAT THE DEFECT COULD CAUSE A LOSS OF DIRECTIONAL CONTROL AND/OR CRASH WITHOUT WARNING." (QUOTE DIRECTLY FROM THE RECALL NOTICE). CHRYSLER NEEDS TO PROVIDE PARTS, AND THE DEALERS NEED TO ADDRESS THIS RECALL ON A MUCH MORE TIMELY BASIS. *TR

LOST TURN SIGNAL ON LEFT SIDE OF VEHICLE ALSO LOST TRAILER TURN SIGNAL WAS TOLD AT DEALERSHIP IT WAS THE TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE WAS THE REASON .AT FIRST THE SIGNAL WOULD FLASH VERY FAST THEN IT QUIT ALL TOGETHER. GUESS THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH DODGE VEHICLES LOTS OF POST ABOUT IT ON THE INTERNET. *TR

I HAVE CALLED AND VISITED MY LOCAL CHRYSLER/DODGE DEALER (LIBERTY DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM- PATASKALA, OHIO) IN OHIO TO TRY AND GET MY TRUCK FIXED DUE TO THE RECALL. I HAVE HEARD EXCUSES FROM- WE DO NOT HAVE ANY PARTS YET, WE WILL CALL YOU IN 3-4 WEEKS WHEN WE HAVE PARTS (NO CALL BACK), OUR SERVICE SUPERVISOR IS NOT IN RIGHT NOW, YOU WILL HAVE TO COME BACK (WENT BACK A DAY LATER, THEY ARE IN MEETINGS ALL DAY, YOU WILL HAVE TO SPEAK WITH THEM ABOUT THE RECALL), CALLED AGAIN AND THEY SAID WE STILL DO NOT HAVE PARTS WE WILL CALL YOU BACK (NO CALL BACK, KEEP IN MIND THIS WAS 6 WEEKS AFTER THE ORIGINAL CALL DATE), THIS PAST WEEK I CALLED AGAIN AND THEY SAID LET ME CHECK WITH OUR PARTS DEPARTMENT AND WE WILL GIVE YOU A CALL BACK THIS AFTERNOON(NO CALL BACK). THEY HAVE HAD PLENTY OF OPPURTUNITIES TO ATLEAST BE CURTIOUS AND GIVE ME A CALL BACK TO UPDATE, LET ALONE FIX THE RECALL. I HAVE EVEN TOLD THEM MY FRONT TIRES HAVE EXTREME ABNORMAL WEAR ON THE INSIDES, AND THEY'RE RESPONSE WAS, WE WILL HAVE OUR SERVICE MANAGER CALL YOU BACK(NO CALL BACK). I AM VERY UPSET ABOUT THIS AS WE HAVE A 6 WEEK OLD BABY AND WE WILL NOT USE THE TRUCK TO TRANSPORT HER ANYWHERE DUE TO THE SAFETY CONCERN, SO WE HAVE TO JUMP THROUGH HOOPS TO TAKE HER TO APPOINTMENTS, ETC. I WOULD LILKE MY TRUCK FIXED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. THANK YOU *TR
