WHEN DRIVING IN RAIN AT A SAFE SPEED, WIPERS WOULD NOT COME ON, AND THEN THE WIPERS WOULD START AND STOP WORKING. WHEN I SWITCHED ON A TURN BLINKER, BOTH BLINKERS BEGAN TO FLASH. OUR LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIP SAYS THERE ON BACK ORDER 4,000 OF THIS PART REQUIRED TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. THERE HAVE BEEN COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SINCE 2009. DOES IT TAKE A LOSS OF LIFE FOR A RECALL TO TAKE PLACE? *KB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE RAM 2500 MEGA CAB 4X4. WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE EXCESSIVELY AND THE TIRES BEGAN TO SQUEAK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE RAM 2500 QUAD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TURN SIGNAL LIGHTS WERE FAULTY.

I HAVE A 2006 DODGE MEGA CAB THAT I HAVE HAD SINCE NEW. I HAD TO HAVE THE MULTIFUNCTION SWITCH REPLACED AT 40,000 MILES ALMOST TWO YEARS AGO, NOW AFTER DRIVING IT ALMOST ANOTHER 20,000 MILES IT IS DOING THE SAME THING. IS THERE A RECALL ON THIS PART OR DO I HAVE ANY RECOURSE TO GET THIS REPLACED AGAIN? THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AS YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT IS GOING TO HAPPEN. THE BLINKERS WILL FLASH THE WRONG WAY AND THE WIPERS MIGHT WORK OR THEY MIGHT NOT OR THEY MAY COME ON WHEN THE BLINKERS ARE ON. THIS IS VERY DISTRACTING WHEN YOU ARE IN A LOT OF TRAFFIC. PLEASE HELP. THANK YOU. *TR

FRONT END FAILURE AND NOT JUST ONCE .I HAVE HAD IT FIXED 3 TIMES . THERE IS ONLY 53000 MILES ON THE TRUCK .LAST TIME THE TIE ROD BROKE AND THE TRUCK ENDED UP HALF WAY IN A 10FT DITCH. THE LAST TIME A WHOLE NEW STEERING LINKAGE AND STEERING BOX WAS PUT ON. I HAVE REPLACED ALL OF THE BALL JOINTS TWICE. THIS IS A STOCK FROM THE DEALER 2500 HD TRUCK. *TR

WHILE PULLING A TRAILER THE LEFT SIDE BRAKE AND SIGNAL DOES NOT WORK. THIS IS DUE TO A FAULTY TIPM. THE TRAILER LIGHTS WORK ON ALL OUR OTHER VEHICLES. WE WERE ACTUALLY PULLED OVER BY THE STATE HIGHWAY PATROL BECAUSE OF IT. THIS IS A SEVERE SAFETY ISSUE AND FROM THE RESEARCH I'VE DONE IT IS A COMMON COMPLIANT WITH THE 2006 DODGE RAM 2500 MODELS. WE WERE TOLD BY OUR LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIP THAT EVERY TIME THIS HAPPENS YOU HAVE TO TAKE THE TRUCK IN AND HAVE IT "REFLASHED" BUT IT CAN ONLY BE DONE 5 TIMES. AFTER THAT YOU HAVE TO REPLACE THE TIPM BUT THEN YOU START ALL OVER AGAIN WITH IT HAPPENING AGAIN. THE TIPM IS NOT EQUIPPED TO HANDLE THE TOW PACKAGE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE RAM 2500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TURN SIGNALS, WINDSHIELD WIPERS, AND THE HEADLIGHTS WERE ALL INOPERABLE. THE DEALER REPLACED THE STALK IN AUGUST 2010 TO REMEDY THE FAILURE; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE HAD RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 76,000 AND THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.
