2006 DODGE RAM 2500 Complaints

FRONT SUSPENSION BOTTOMS OUT WHEN GOING OVER BUMPS I WAS TOLD THIS IS NORMAL BY THE DEALER BUT AS A TECHNICIAN I HAVE NEVER SEEN A VEHICLE THAT DOES THIS FROM THE FACTORY AND NOW AT ABOUT 42000 MILES MY LOWER BALL JOINTS ARE FAILING. *TR

WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT SOMETIMES WHEN YOU CHANGE THE HEADLIGHTS FROM LOW BEAM TO HIGH BEAM THEY COMPLETELY GO OUT AND SOMETIMES ONLY THE RIGHT HIGH BEAM DOESN'T WORK. *TR

2006 DODGE RAM 2500, TURN SIGNAL FAULT, TURN ON LEFT DIRECTIONAL, AND RIGHT DIRECTIONAL COMES ON VERY DANGEROUS....... *TR

I WAS DRIVING A DODGE SPRINTER, AND I STOPPED ON A LIGHT TO WAIT FOR A GREEN TO CAME, AND WHEN I STARED MOVING, AND ALL OF THE SUDDEN I HAD TO MAKE STOP, BECAUSE A CAR ON FRONT OF ME, STOPPED, I PUSHED A BRAKES A FEW TIMES, AND IT DIDN'T WORK, AND AFTER I MADE AN ACCIDENT, SOMEONE TRIED A CAR, AND IT DID WORK! I FOUND THIS MATERIAL ON THE WEB SITE, THAT I WILL GIVE YOU A LINK TO IT. IT WILL HELP YOU! HTTP://WWW.AUTOMOTIX.NET/AUTOREPAIR/RECALLS/9149-RECALL/. *TR

TIE-ROD END BROKE SUDDENLY. MINE BROKE DURING A TURN FROM A US HIGHWAY TO A COUNTY ROAD SO THAT I WAS MOVING SLOWLY. IMMEDIATE LOSS OF STEERING WAS THE RESULT. RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED ON ONE SET OF REPLACEMENT PARTS BUT NOT ON THE ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT PARTS THAT HAVE ALSO FAILED AT LEAST AS OFTEN. *TR

2006 DODGE RAM 2500 "DEATH WOBBLE" EXPERIENCE TWICE IN 30 MINUTES GOING OVER BRIDGES IN GEORGIA AT 70 MPH. *TR

2006 DODGE 2500 TRUCK. HAS HAD INTERMITTENT PROBLEM WITH TURN SIGNALS AND WIPERS. TURN ON SIGNAL AND OTHER SIGNAL COMES ON. WIPERS GO OFF WITH SWITCH ON. THIS HAS BEEN ISSUE SINCE BOUGHT VEHICLE IN 06. DOES NOT DO IT ALL THE TIME. *TR

THE TURN SIGNAL (MULTI-FUNCTION) SWITCH IN MY 2006 DODGE 2500 IS MALFUNCTIONING. WHEN I TURN ON MY LEFT TURN SIGNAL THE RIGHT TURN SIGNAL WILL FLASH AND SOMETIMES THE LEFT AS WELL. THE SAME THING HAPPENS WHEN I PUT ON MY RIGHT TURN SIGNAL, THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL WILL FLASH. I HAVE HAD TWO VERY CLOSE CALLS WITH THIS, THE MOST RECENT WHILE PULLING A 34 FOOT FIFTH WHEEL TRAILER. I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ON THE DIESEL TRUCK RESOURCE WEB PAGE AND SOME OF THE STORIES ARE OF VERY SERIOUS CLOSE CALLS. THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL. *TR

PURCHASED A NEW 06 DODGE RAM 2500 QUAD CAB 4X4. TRUCK CAME WITH 22INCH TIRES AND RIMS. REPLACED TIRES AT 60K MILES. ALMOST HAD VERY SEVERE ACCIDENT AT 60 MILES AN HOUR DUE TO DEATH WOBBLE (VIOLENT SHAKING OF TRUCK). DROVE TRUCK BACK TO TIRE DEALER. DEALER SAID MY FRONT END WAS BAD. BOUGHT ALL NEW COMPLETE FRONT END PARTS FROM DODGE INCLUDING UPPER/LOWER BALL JOINTS AND SHOCKS. HAD PARTS INSTALLED COST $2900. TOOK TRUCK OUT ON FREEWAY NOW I HAVE THE DEATH WOBBLE AT 70MPH. TOOK TRUCK BACK TO DODGE, THEY SAY NOTHING IS WRONG. *TR

2006 DODGE RAM 2500. MULTIFUNCTION SWITCH FAILS WHEN NEEDED THE MOST. THIS ITEM CONTROLS THE WIPERS, TURN SIGNALS, HIGH/LOW BEAMS, AS WELL AS EMERGENCY FLASHERS. THIS WAS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM WHEN I FIRST REPORTED IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, AND SURPRISE SURPRISE IT DIDN'T FAIL AT THE DEALERSHIP. NOW AFTER MY STANDARD WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED IT HAS COMPLETELY FAILED. THERE WAS NO EVENTS LEADING UP TO THE FAILURE. THE DEALERSHIPS ARE NOW SAYING THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE, BUT SINCE THE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED, I NOW HAVE TO PAY FOR PARTS AS WELL AS LABOR FOR AN ITEM THAT CAUSES A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. IMAGINE DRIVING IN A DOWN POOR, AND THE SWITCH THAT CONTROLS YOUR WIPERS FAILS TO PERFORM. *TR
