2006 DODGE RAM 2500 Complaints

ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS WHEN I PUT THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL ON, THE SIGNAL WILL START FLASHING AS THOUGH THE RIGHT TURN SIGNAL HAD BEEN ACTUATED. SOMETIMES THE RIGHT SIGNAL STARTS FLASHING AS SOON AS I TURN THE LEFT SIGNAL ON. ON OTHER OCCASIONS I WILL BE STOPPED WITH THE LEFT SIGNAL FLASHING AND IT WILL INTERMITTENTLY START FLASHING TO THE RIGHT FOR NO APPARENT REASON. OCCASIONALLY NEITHER OF THE SIGNALS WILL FLASH. *TR

2006 DODGE RAM 2500. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO SAFETY RECALL NOTICE CONCERNING THE LEFT OUTER TIE ROD *TGW THE REPAIRS WERE MADE ON THE VEHICLE, PRIOR TO RECEIVING THE RECALL.

IN 2010 DRIVING TO GATOR NAT DRAG RACE THE WIPERS JUST STOP THEN IT HAPPEN ABOUT EVERYTIME I USED THEM NOW AND THE AC HAS STOP WORKING 863 00 FOR A NEW ONE IN JUNE OF 2006 AND THEN 600 00 DOLLARS MORE IN SEPT AND THEY SAY IT THE TIPM 860 00 DOLLARS MORE THE WIPERS STILL DON'T WORK RIGHT 170000 MILES AND NO ONES WANTS TO HELP THE TRUCK JUST SIT TO HOT TO DRIVE IN FL WITH GRAND KIDS AND NO AC I WILL NOT BUT A DODGE EVER. *TR

DRIVING IN TRAFFIC AT NIGHT AND LOST TURN SIGNALS AND BRAKE LIGHTS ON TRAILER ALMOST CAUSED REAR END COLLISION. FOUND PROBLEM WAS WITH THE TIPM OR FUSE BOX. THE TRAILER WIRING FROM THE TIPM HAS NO FUSE AND IS SOME SORT OF RELAY AND CAN ONLY BE REPAIRED BY A DEALER. HAVE FOUND THIS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH OTHER DODGE TRUCK OWNERS. MANY DIFFERENT CIRCUMSTANCES CAN CAUSE THIS FAILURE DUE TO ONLY A 15 AMP LIMIT BEFORE FAILURE. DEALERS SAY THEY CAN DO A REFLASH FOR AROUND $100.00 AND IF THAT DOES NOT WORK THE TIPM MUST BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $1000.00 AND THIS WOULD BE THE CASE EACH AND EVERY TIME THERE WAS A 15 AMP OVERLOAD TO THIS CIRCUIT. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AS DEALERS OR NOT OPEN 24 HOURS OR 7 DAYS A WEEK AND ALSO VERY EXPENSIVE. THIS SHOULD BE A SIMPLE FUSED CIRCUIT AS IT IS WITH ALMOST ALL VEHICLES AND THE REPAIR COULD BE MADE BY SIMPLY REPLACING THE BLOWN 25 CENT FUSE FOUND AT ALL GAS STATIONS AND CONVENIENCE STORES. I HOPE NO ONE HAS BEEN KILLED OR INJURED OVER THIS SAME TYPE ISSUE. *TR

VEHICLE WAS PARKED. AS I STARTED TO BACK OUT OF A PARKING SPOT, I BEGAN TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL COUNTERCLOCKWISE. THE SECTOR SHAFT ON THE STEERING BOX SHEARED IN HALF AND THE PITMAN ARM AND DRAG LINK FELL TO THE GROUND. LOST COMPLETE STEERING CONTROL. LET IT BE NOTED THAT THIS TRUCK IS NOT DRIVEN OFF-ROAD IN 4X4 ENVIRONMENTS. TRUCK HAS A 4 INCH LIFT AND 35 INCH TIRES. WHEELS ARE OF A FACTORY SIZE. CHRYSLER WAS ASKED FOR ASSISTANCE IN THIS REPAIR, BECAUSE OF THE TYPE OF FAILURE AND THE FACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT WITHIN THE FACTORY WARRANTY PERIOD. THE CLAIM WAS CONSIDERED BUT DENIED BECAUSE OF THE OVERSIZE TIRES. NO CONSIDERATION WAS GIVEN. PICTURES ARE AVAILABLE. *TR

DASH LIGHTS STOPPED WORKING. THEY HAD WENT OUT ONCE BEFORE BUT CAME BACK ON THE NEXT DAY. AFTER ANOTHER DAY THEY WENT BACK OUT AND HAVEN'T WORKED SINCE. *TR

THE CONTACT REFERRED TO THE SHAKING AS THE DEATH WOBBLE. THE CONTACT REPLACED THE TIE ROD AND STEERING LINKAGE, BUT NONE OF THE REPAIRS REMEDIED THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 160,000.

WAS DRIVING 45-50 MPH WHEN TRUCK HIT A ROUGH SPOT IN ROAD AND BEGAN VIOLENTLY SHAKING AND WAS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO CONTROL. HAD TO SLOW DOWN IN ORDER FOR SHAKING TO STOP. STEERING WAS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE WHILE THIS WAS HAPPENING.\VERY SCARY! HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIME SINCE. MY 19 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER DRIVES THIS TRUCK! (MAYBE NOT FOR LONG). *TR

I HAVE BEEN WATCHING THE NEWS RECENTLY AND SAW THE JEEP DEATH WOBBLE REPORTS. I HAVE THE SAME EXPERIENCE AND SAME PROBLEM WITH MY 2006 DODGE RAM 2500. I ALMOST GOT INTO TWO ACCIDENTS ON THE HIGH WAY AND ONCE MY TRUCK LOST CONTROL DUE TO THE DEATH WOBBLE AND TURNED 180 DEGREES ON THE HIGHWAY FACING ONCOMING TRAFFIC. BUT, LUCKILY NO ONE WAS HURT. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS AND THE MECHANICS SAID I HAVE TO PAY A COUPLE THOUSAND TO REPAIR. HOWEVER, THE MECHANIC SAID HE HAS SEEN MANY JEEP AND DODGE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AND SAID THE COMPANY SHOULD HAVE A RECALL BECAUSE IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND IT IS THE MANUFACTURES FAULT. DUE TO HARD ECONOMIC TIMES I CAN NOT AFFORD TO FIX MY TRUCK AND I AM VERY SCARED FOR MY SAFETY AND MY FAMILIES. SO PLEASE HELP ME IN THIS TERRIBLE SITUATION ALONG WITH OTHER DODGE RAM AND JEEP OWNERS. THIS IS VERY COMMON PROBLEM AND CAN BE SEEN ALL OVER THE INTERNET, YOUTUBE AND THE NEWS. I LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING BACK FROM YOU AND GETTING HELP. *TR
