2006 DODGE RAM 2500 Complaints

I HAVE A 2006 DODGE RAM 2500 CUMMINS TURBO DIESEL. EVERYTHING WAS GREAT WITH MY TRUCK UP TILL ABOUT MAY OF 2009. WHILE DRIVING HOME AT ABOUT 40 MPH, I GOT THE "DEATH WOBBLE" ON MY TRUCK. EXTREMELY SCARY WHEN IT HAPPENS TO YOU. LUCKILY THERE WERE NO VEHICLES BEHIND ME. I HAD TO COME TO ALMOST A COMPLETE STOP FOR THE DEATH WOBBLE TO GO AWAY. I THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO BE A RARE THING TO HAPPEN, BUT IT PRETTY MUCH HAPPENS EVERY TIME I DRIVE MY TRUCK. ALL I HAVE TO DO IS GO OVER A COUPLE OF SMALL RUTS OR BUMPS ON THE ROAD AND THE TRUCK WILL GET INTO THE DEATH WOBBLE. *TR

I OWN A 2006 DODGE RAM 2500 MEGA CAB. JUST LAST WEEK MY BLINKERS STARTED GOING CRAZY. I WILL SIGNAL THE LEFT BLINKER AND IT WILL SIGNAL RIGHT AND VISA VERSA. THIS PROBLEM HAPPENS DAILY AND HAPPENS SO FREQUENT THAT I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE MY TRUCK ANYWHERE. I HAVE NOT REPLACED THE SWITCH YET. IN DOING RESEARCH, IT SAYS YOU MUST PULL THE STEERING WHEEL TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I JUST THOUGHT A WIRE MIGHT BE GROUNDING OUT. I THEN STARTED TO DO SOME RESEARCH AND MANY MANY OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE ON THEIR TRUCKS OF THE SAME YEAR. I DO HOPE YOU CONSIDER THIS A RECALL AS IT TO BE A VERY INTENSE SAFETY ISSUE AND I DO BELIEVE DODGE SHOULD FIX THE PROBLEM. DOING RESEARCH ON THE PROBLEM IT DOES COST A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT. IF I HAVE TO FIX A SAFETY ISSUE THAT IS ONGOING WITH A VEHICLE AND DODGE KNOWS ABOUT IT, IT IS TIME FOR THE GOVERNMENT TO STEP IN AND MAKE THIS CORPORATION FIX THE SAFETY PROBLEM. IF THEY KNOW ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND DON'T FIX IT, I AM SURE A LAWYER COULD BE CONTACTED TO LET EVERYONE KNOW ABOUT THE PROBLEM INCLUDING THE ONES WHO WON'T FIX IT. *TR

#4 FUEL INJECTOR LINE FAILURE, 2006 DODGE 2500 DIESEL, ONE OWNER,NEVER WRECKED. SPRAYED FUEL ALL OVER UNDER HOOD AND ON EXHAUST WITH A LOT OF SMOKE AND STRONG DIESEL SMELL. ACCORDING TO DODGE PARTS DEPARTMENT, THIS PART, CUMMINGS PART #508674AB, GOES BAD SO OFTEN THAT IT IS THE ONLY FUEL INJECTOR LINE OUT OF A POSSIBLE SIX LINES THAT THEY KEEP IN STOCK. THE POTENTIAL FOR A FIRE,WITH THIS FAILURE,IS, IN MY OPINION,IS VERY HIGH. A RECALL IS IN ORDER. I AM A RETIRED AUTO MECHANIC WITH ABOUT 40+ YEARS EXPERIENCE. *TR

2006 DODGE RAM 2500 LARAMIE. TURN SIGNALS OPERATE SPORADICALLY. MOVING THE TURN SIGNAL STALK TO SIGNAL A LEFT TURN CAN RESULT IN NO FLASHING OF THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL BUT IMPROPER FLASHING OF THE RIGHT TURN SIGNAL. LIKEWISE THE SAME OPPOSITE IMPROPER OPERATION OCCURS WHEN MOVING THE TURN SIGNAL STALK TO SIGNAL A RIGHT TURN. THE INCORRECT FLASHING SIGNAL APPEARS AT BOTH THE DASHBOARD INDICATOR LIGHT AND AT THE EXTERIOR FRONT AND REAR TURN SIGNAL LIGHTING POSITIONS. *TR

ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF YEARS MY TURN SIGNAL HAS MALFUNCTIONED. TRY TO SIGNAL A LEFT TURN AND THE RIGHT SIGNAL TURNS ON AND VICE VERSA. IT IS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM AND COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. *TR

I DRIVE A 2006 DODGE RAM 2500 4X4 MEGACAB. I PURCHASED THE TRUCK BRAND NEW IN JUNE 2006. AS IT STANDS I HAVE AROUND 65,600 MILES ON THE TRUCK. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE ON JUNE 11, 2010 WHEN I HIT A BUMP DOING 70 MPH. WHEN I HIT THE BUMP IT FELT AS IF I HAD A FLAT OR A TIRE LOOSE, I COULD BARELY CONTROL THE TRUCK AND AFTER I SLOWED TO 40 MPH I COULD STEER THE TRUCK AGAIN. I PULLED OVER AND CHECKED TO MAKE SURE NO DAMAGE WAS DONE. THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL MORE TIMES DURING MY TRIP, EACH TIME THE TRUCK SHOOK VIOLENTLY AND I COULDN'T CONTROL IT UNTIL I SLOWED DOWN TO ABOUT 40 MPH. THE FIRST TIME THAT DAY, I WAS LUCKY TO BE NEAR A DODGE DEALER WHO LOOKED AT IT AND INFORMED IT SHOULD BE SAFE TO DRIVE UNTIL I COULD GET TO MY DESTINATION TO HAVE IT LOOKED IT. HE INFORMED ME OF A CHRYSLER TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN NUMBER 22-005-06 ISSUED ON OCTOBER 6, 2006. I HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS DOCUMENT BEFORE THIS DAY. TOOK IT TO A DEALERSHIP AFTER I GOT TO MY DESTINATION TO CHECK THE PROBLEM AND THE SAME TECHNICAL SAFETY BULLETIN FROM CHRYSLER WAS ONCE AGAIN SHOWN TO ME, AND I WAS INFORMED THAT THE PROBLEMS LISTED IN THE BULLETIN HAD WORN OUT MY BALL JOINTS AND THAT WAS WHAT WAS CAUSING MY ISSUES WHICH HAVE TOTALED TO COST AROUND $3000. WE CALLED CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY HAVE REFUSED TO CALL ME BACK, BUT THEY HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP TO INFORM THEM THAT ALL THIS WAS NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR AND THAT THEY WOULD ONLY COVER $500 WORTH OF PARTS. NOW IF THIS WAS NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR, WHY WASN'T I AS A CUSTOMER EVER NOTIFIED AT ANY TIME I BROUGHT MY TRUCK IN FOR SERVICE AT ANY OF THEIR DEALERSHIPS OF THIS ISSUE SO IT COULD BE CHECKED? FURTHERMORE, WHY WASN'T ANYONE NOTIFIED WHEN THIS CAME TO LIGHT IN OCTOBER 2006? THIS IS IN MY OPINION A SAFETY ISSUE. HAD I BEEN PULLING A LOADED TRAILER BEHIND THIS TRUCK (AS IT'S DESIGNED TO DO), WHO KNOWS WHAT TYPE OF ACCIDENT I WOULD'VE HAD? *TR

2006 RAM PICK UP RIGHT TURN SIGNAL COMES ON WHEN LEFT TURN SIGNAL IS SWITCHED ON. IF THE TRICK REQUIRES TO BE FIXED BEFORE IT PASSES STATE INSPECTION, THEN IT IS A SAFETY PROBLEM AND SHOULD BE RECALLED. DODGE WANTS GREATER THAN 500 DOLLARS TO FIX AND THE PROBLEM EXISTS ALL OVER THE INTERNET. *TR
