2006 Dodge Ram 1500 complaints

THE SWITCH ON MY 2006 DODGE RAM THAT CONTROLS THE TURN SIGNAL, WIPERS AND LIGHT DIMMER DOES NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. IT TURNS THE OPPOSITE SIGNAL ON THAT I HAVE SPECIFIED, MY WIPERS SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING AND IT WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO DIM MY HEADLIGHTS. DRIVING IN THE RAIN IS VERY DIFFICULT AND TURNING BECOMES A PROBLEM BECASUE I NEVER KNOW WHAT SIGNAL WILL TURN ON. I SPOKE WITH MECHANICS AT A DEALERSHIP WHO INFORMED ME THAT THE PROBLEM IS SO COMMON THAT THE MULIT FUNCTION SWITCH IS NOW REFERRED TO AS THE MALFUNCTION SWITCH. *TR

THIS IS NOT THE ONLY TIME THERE HAS BEEN A PROBLEM LIKE THIS . VERY SIMILAR ACCOUNTS ON THE WEBSITE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. ONE IN CANADA THAT IS VERY SIMILAR TO MINE.

THE BLINKER SWITCH ON MY 2006 1500 RAM DOESN'T WORK. WHEN I FLIP THE SWITCH TO TURN RIGHT THE LEFT BLINKER COMES ON. SOMETIMES NO BLINKER COMES ON. ALSO, AT TIMES, WHEN I TURN THE WIPERS ON THEY DON'T ALWAYS COME ON AND WHEN THEY DO COME ON THEY DON'T ALWAYS TURN OFF AFTER TURNING THEM OFF. *TR

I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS ON MY 2006 DODGE RAM 1500 QUAD CAB. THEY WILL NOT RUN FOR MORE THAN ONE TO TWO MINUTES ON CONTINUOUS WIPE. AFTER THAT TIME THEY WILL ONLY WIPE AT AN INTERMITTENT SPEED WHICH VARIES FROM ONCE EVERY TWO SECONDS TO ONCE EVERY TWENTY TO THIRTY SECONDS, WHATEVER THEY FEEL LIKE WIPING AT. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION WHICH I FOUND OUT JUST THE OTHER DAY WHILE TRAVELING HOME FROM WORK IN A STEADY RAIN. DURING THE TRIP HOME IT BECAME VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE AND VERY UNSAFE. IT IS A VERY INSECURE FEELING NOT KNOWING WHEN YOUR WIPERS WILL CLEAR YOUR WINDSHIELD AGAIN IN A STEADY RAIN. *TR

WHEN I PUT MY LEFT TURN SIGNAL ON, SOMETIMES THE RIGHT BLINKER COMES ON. THERE IS ALSO AN ISSUE WITH THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS NOT TURNING TO HIGH SPEED. *TR

MY NAME IS [XXX]AND I OWN A 2006 DODGE RAM 1500 PICKUP TRUCK. AFTER PURCHASING THE TRUCK I NOTICED THAT EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE WHEN I PRESSED THE TURN INDICATOR DOWN TO TURN LEFT, THE RIGHT TURN INDICATOR LIGHT WOULD TURN ON. THIS HAPPENED ONCE OR TWICE A DAY. A FEW WEEKS LATER THIS WAS HAPPENING EVERYTIME I DROVE, ALSO THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WOULD ONLY STAY ON LOW SPEED. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A MECHANIC, AND HE "RE-SET" THE SYSTEM. WELL, THIS WORKED FOR ONLY A COUPLE DAYS. I HAD PAID THE MECHANIC A LARGE SUM OF MONEY TO FIX THE PROBLEM SO I COULD NOT AFFORD TO TAKE THE VEHICLE BACK. I DROVE AROUND WITH THIS FAULTY TURN INDICATOR PROBLEM FOR AROUND 6 MONTHS. THIS PROBLEM WAS SUCH A NUISANCE FOR ME, AND NOT TO MENTION ILLEGAL! EVERYTIME I TOOK A LEFT TURN I WOULD HAVE TO PLACE MY ARM OUT THE WINDOW AND TURN. THIS WAS SUCH AN EMBARRASSMENT FOR ME. FINALLY I TOOK THE DODGE RAM TRUCK TO A DODGE DEALERSHIP, AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE PROBLEM WAS THAT I HAD A FAULTY "MULTIFUNCTION SWITCH" AND THAT IT WOULD COST $263.00 TO REPLACE. SO I GLADLY PAID THE MONEY AND GO IT FIXED DUE TO THE UN-SAFE TURN INDICATOR PROBLEM. I HAVE BEEN SEARCHING THE INTERNET FOR THIS PROBLEM AND FOUND THAT SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS "TURN INDICATOR" PROBLEM, AND IT SEEMS TO BE THAT CHRYSLER HAD INSTALLED FAULTY "MULTIFUNCTION SWITCHES" IN THEIR 06 DODGE RAM PICKUP TRUCKS. I AM ASKING YOU TO PLEASE ISSUE A RECALL ON THESE FAULTY "MULTIFUNCTION SWITCHES" IN THE 06 DODGE RAM TRUCKS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIO

I WENT TO TURN ON MY LEFT SIGNAL AND IT STARTED FLASHING BOTH WAYS THEN THE WRONG DIRECTION STAYED ON. THE FAILURE HAS BEEN RECURRING SINCE THEN AND THE MOST RECENT FAILURE WAS MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS STARTED SLOWING DOWN AND DELAYING EVEN WHEN I HAD NOT TOUCHED THE CONTROLS. THE TURN SIGNALS SOMETIME WILL NOT COME ON AT ALL. I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO THE ATTENTION OF DODGE/CHRYSLER BUT NO RECALL OR CAMPAIGN HAS BEEN ISSUE. THE PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT, BUT COULD RESULT IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. *TR

TURN SIGNAL PROBLEM - SOMETIMES THE WRONG SIGNAL BLINKS CAUSING OTHER DRIVERS TO MISUNDERSTAND MY INTENT. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY BETWEEN 45-50 MPH PROCEEDING TO CHANGE LANES, THE CONTACT ENGAGED THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL BUT THE RIGHT TURN SIGNAL RESPONDED. IN ADDITION, THE SAME FAILURE OCCURRED WHEN USING THE RIGHT TURN SIGNAL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER TWICE WHERE THE BATTERY CABLE WAS DISCONNECTED AND THEN RECONNECTED. ALSO, THE COMPUTERIZED SYSTEM WAS UPDATED. BOTH FAULTY TURN SIGNALS CONTINUED TO MALFUNCTION. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 24,000.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT BOTH TURN SIGNALS AND THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS FAILED. IF THE LEFT SIGNAL WAS ENGAGED THE RIGHT SIGNAL WOULD COME ON. WHEN THE RIGHT WAS ENGAGED THE LEFT SIGNAL WOULD COME ON. WHENEVER THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WERE ON THEY WOULD AUTOMATICALLY SWITCH TO A HIGH OR LOW MODE INTERMITTENTLY. THE DEALER OR MANUFACTURER WERE CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000.

PROBLEM WITH TURN SIGNAL SWITCH, WHEN SIGNALING LEFT TURN THE RIGHT TURN SIGNAL WILL BLINK OR SOMETIMES BOTH WILL BLINK AT SAME TIME, ALSO UNABLE TO SWITCH HIGH BEAMS ON, WHEN LEVER IS PULLED THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS SPRAY CLEANER FLUID, THIS SHOULD ACTIVATE BY PUSHING IN ON HANDLE NOT PULLING ON IT. IF YOU MOVE THE TURN SIGNAL HANDLE AROUND SOMETIMES IT WILL CORRECT THE TURN SIGNAL ISSUE BUT STILL HAVE NOT FOUND A WAY TO ACTIVATE THE HIGH BEAMS. *TR

TURN SIGNAL SIGNALS IN WRONG DIRECTION INTERMITTENTLY . SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE DODGE VEHICLES HAS LED TO NEAR MISS ACCIDENT. *LN

DODGE 1500 06 TIE ROD FAILURES.. ABOUT EVERY 30000 MILES I AM HAVING TO REPLACE TIE ROD ENDS DUE TO THE LACK OF FACTORY LUBE POINTS..(NO ZERK FITTING PER DEALER REASON FOR FAILURE).....THE LOOSER IT GOT THE HARDER IT IS TO CONTROL AT BREAKING... *TR

MY TURN SIGNAL ON MY 2006 DODGE RAM 1500 MEGA CAB GIVES A WRONG SIGNAL WHEN LEAST EXPECT IT. IF YOU TURN ON THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL THE RIGHT ONE BLINKS OR IT FLASHES BACK AND FORTH. JUST LEARNED OF WHAT WILL FIX THE PROBLEM, IT IS CAUSED BY THE MULTIFUNCTIONAL SWITCH. I HAVE NOT HAD IT FIXED YET BUT WHEN I DO I WILL KEEP THE OLD SWITCH. IT HAPPENES EVERY COUPLE OF DAYS THEN IT STOPS FOR A WHILE AND THEN IT STARTS AGAIN.

2006 DODGE RAM 1500 BLOWER DOOR BROKEN CAN'T CONTROL WHERE HEAT IS DIRECTED, CANT DEFROST WINDSHIELD. *TR

BRAKE FAILURE. *TR

THE RECIRCULATION DOOR BROKE FOR THE HEATER AND AIR CONDITIONING. THIS PROBLEM CAUSES A LOW FLOW RATE BECAUSE THE DOOR BLOCKS THE FAN OPENING, WHICH LEADS TO FOGGED WINDOWS AND SNOW BUILDUP ON THE WINDSHIELD. DODGE IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND HAS REENGINEERING THE DOOR ASSEMBLY, BUT IS NOT FIXING VEHICLES WITH THE PROBLEM IF THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY, INSTEAD THEY ARE CHARGING CUSTOMERS FOR THE PARTS AND LABOR TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THIS IS AN OBVIOUS DEFECT, BUT DODGE IS NOT REPAIRING VEHICLES WITH THE PROBLEM, INSTEAD THEY ARE CHARGING CUSTOMERS FOR THEIR MISTAKE. MY TRUCK IS A 2006 DODGE RAM 1500 WITH ONLY 35,000+ MILES ON IT, BUT OUTSIDE OF DODGE'S 3 YR OR 36,000 MILE WARRANTY. PLEASE MAKE THEM RECALL THIS ISSUE. GOOGLE "2006 DODGE RAM 1500 RECIRCULATION DOOR" AND YOU WILL SEE HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM. *TR

TURN SIGNAL LEVER DOESN'T WORK PROPERLY. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN HE ENGAGED THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL HE NOTICED THAT THE RIGHT SIGNAL INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 36,000. THE CONSUMER STATED THE AC FAILED TWICE. UPDATED 03/02/11

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE RAM 1500 SD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER ROUTINE MAINTENANCE WAS PERFORMED ON HIS VEHICLE HE WAS INFORMED THAT THEY WERE UNABLE TO COMPLETE AN ALIGNMENT BECAUSE THERE WAS A HOLE IN THE TIE RODS. THE TIE RODS WERE REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THEY WERE UNABLE TO ALIGN THE VEHICLE PROPERLY WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO PULL TO THE LEFT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 34,000. UPDATED 12/14/2011 *CN UPDATED 12/05/2011 *LN

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE RAM 1500. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH WHEN HE ENGAGED THE RIGHT TURN SIGNAL AND THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL BEGAN ILLUMINATING. THE FAILURE WOULD OCCUR INTERMITTENTLY WHEN TURNING LEFT OR RIGHT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO HAVE THE FAILURE DIAGNOSED AND WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 44,000.

THE VEHICLE IS A 2006 DODGE RAM 1500 QUAD CAB. WHILE DRIVING ON A FREEWAY AT THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT OF 70 MPH THE WINDSHIELD BECAME FOGGED UNEXPECTEDLY AND WOOD NOT CLEAR. NO AIR WOULD EXIT THE DEFROSTER VENTS AND THE SYSTEM WAS STUCK IN THE VENT MODE. THE RESULT WAS A NEAR HIGH SPEED COLLISION AS I WAS NOT ABLE TO SEE THE HIGHWAY. THIS HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES THIS SEASON AND THE LOCAL DODGE DEALER STATES THAT DODGE IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM INDICATING THAT THE SYSTEM WILL REQUIRE A NEW HOUSING AND HEATING DOOR. THE ESTIMATE FOR THE REPAIR IS BETWEEN $800 AND $1000. I HAVE SPENT $85 TO HAVE THE PROBLEM LOOKED AT AND ESTIMATED. AT THIS TIME THE VEHICLE HAS NO FLOOR HEAT, AND THE DEFROSTER WORKS ONLY INTERMITTENTLY AND COMPROMISES VISIBILITY IN CERTAIN WEATHER CONDITIONS. THIS PROBLEM FIRST PRESENTED ITSELF WITH 65,000 MILES ON THE TRUCK AND CONTINUES TO BE AN ONGOING PROBLEM EVEN AFTER THE PARTS WERE REPLACED LAST WINTER SEASON BY AND INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP WITH DODGE PARTS. IT WORKED OK FOR A WHILE, BUT IS ACTING UP AGAIN. THE DEALER STATED THAT MOISTURE CAUSES A DOOR TO STICK AND BREAK. *TR

MY 2006 DODGE RAM 1500 HAD THE TURN SIGNALS FAIL. FIRST WHEN I TOLD IT TO TURN RIGHT, IT BLINKED LEFT. THEN IT STOPPED WORKING. IT ROTATES TO WHATEVER IT WANTS RANDOMLY AND USUALLY SHOWS AN INCORRECT DIRECTION. I'M SAFER NOT USING A TURN SIGNAL THAN SHOWING A LEFT AND GOING RIGHT. I CAN'T USE HAND SIGNALS AT NIGHT AND MOST PEOPLE DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY I'M PUTTING MY ARM OUT THE WINDOW ANYWAY. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE ON THIS VEHICLE. THIS OCCURS ALL THE TIME NOW. IT WAS INTERMITTENT (PROBLEMATIC FOR ONE TRIP) THEN IT WOULD FIX ITSELF FOR A FEW DAYS. DODGE DEALER SAYS THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT IS WRONG OR NEVER HEARD OF IT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SHE WAS UNABLE TO CONTROL THE DEFROSTING IN THE VEHICLE CAUSING IT TO OBSCURE HER VISIBILITY. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY A DEALER WHO INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT SHE NEEDED TO REPLACE THE FRACTURED RECIRCULATION DOOR AND PARTS. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 22,000. UPDATED 02/23/11 *BF

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 WHEN MOVING THE TURN SIGNAL STALK TO SIGNAL A RIGHT TURN THE SIGNAL WILL NOT FLASH OR SOMETIMES WILL INCORRECTLY SIGNAL LEFT. THIS IMPROPER SIGNAL APPEARS AT BOTH THE DASHBOARD INDICATOR LIGHT AND AT THE EXTERIOR FRONT AND REAR TURN SIGNAL LIGHTING POSITIONS. ADDITIONALLY THE WIPER BLADES HAVE BEGUN FAILING TO OPERATE WHEN NEEDED. WHEN SELECTING AN ON POSITION ON THE TURN SIGNAL STALK THE WIPERS WILL SOMETIMES STUTTER ACROSS THE WINDSHIELD OR SOMETIMES NO MOVE AT ALL. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY THE MULTIFUNCTION SWITCH WAS REPLACED. THIS FIXED THE PROBLEM THE FIRST TIME. THE VEHICLE IS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AGAIN BUT IS NOW OUT OF WARRANTY. FACTORY REPAIR CLAIMS IT WILL BE THE SAME REPLACEMENT AT OWNER COST. THE PROBLEMS HAPPEN INTERMITTENTLY, AND CAN NOT BE REPRODUCED AT WILL. OVER TIME, HOWEVER, THEY ARE HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY. *TR

I WAS ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN OFF THE HIGHWAY, AND WHEN I SIGNALLED FOR A LEFT TURN WITH THE TURN SIGNAL, THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER SHOWED A SIGNAL FOR RIGHT TURN. I PULLED INTO THE LEFT TURN LANE, AND THE CAR WHICH WAS BEHIND ME AND CONTINUING STRAIGHT SLOWED DOWN AND REFUSED TO GO BY ME, EVEN THOUGH I WAS IN THE LEFT TURN LANE AND THEY HAD A CLEAR PATH AHEAD. THIS INDICATED TO ME THAT THE TAILLIGHTS WERE ALSO INDICATING A RIGHT TURN. THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT AS A RESULT OF THIS, BUT THE NORMAL FLOW OF TRAFFIC ON THE HIGHWAY WAS DISRUPTED. SINCE THIS INCIDENT, I HAVE WATCHED CLOSELY AND THE MULTIFUNCTION SWITCH HAS DONE THE SAME THING SEVERAL TIMES INTERMITTENTLY. WE LIVE NEAR A BUSY HIGHWAY IN THE COUNTRY, AND OFTEN WHEN SOMEONE IS SLOWING DOWN TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN, THE TRAFFIC BEHIND WILL PASS ON THE LEFT. IF SOMEONE IS ACTUALLY MAKING A LEFT TURN, BUT THE SIGNAL IS SHOWING RIGHT, THIS COULD LEAD TO A FATAL COLLISION. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER, AND THEY SIMPLY TOLD ME TO GET IT FIXED AND HANG ONTO THE RECEIPTS IN CASE THERE IS A RECALL. I ALSO FOUND THAT 2006 DODGE 3500 PICKUPS DID HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE MULTIFUNCTION SWITCH FOR THIS REASON.

2006 DODGE RAM 1500 QUAD CAB. 132000 KM. INDICATED LEFT BUT RIGHT INDICATOR LIGHT CAME. NOW ALSO BOTH SIDES FLASH INTERMITTENTLY WHEN INDICATING EITHER DIRECTION. NEARLY HAD A MAJOR ACCIDENT WHEN FOLLOWING VEHICLE MISINTEPRETED MY INTENTIONS AND JUST MISSED OVERTAKING ME ON THE WRONG SIDE. I UNDERSTAND SEVERAL OTHER CASES OF THIS HAVE BEEN REPORTED ON THIS VEHICLE AND SHOULD BE A N URGENT SAFETY RECALL! *TR

2006 DODGE RAM 1500 BIG HORN EDITION HEMI YESTERDAY I WENT TO PASS A TRUCK AND FLOORED THE PEDAL, I WENT TO LET UP AND NOTICED THE PEDAL WAS STUCK. SO I SLIGHTLY HIT THE BRAKE BUT THAT DIDN'T DO MUCH AT 85 MPH AND ACCELERATING. WAS LATE AT NIGHT AND NO 1 ON THE ROAD SO I LET IT ACCELERATE AND TRIED MESSING WITH THE GAS PEDAL WITH MY FOOT BUT NOTHING WOULD POP IT OUT. SO WITH THE SPEEDOMETER BURIED PAST 120 I PUT IT INTO NEUTRAL CAME TO A STOP ON SIDE OF THE ROAD. TRIED MESSING WITH THE GAS PEDAL WITH MY HAND BUT NOTHING WOULD POP IT OUT. SO SITTING WITH RPMS MAXED OUT IN NEUTRAL AND NO WAY TO DISENGAGE THE ACCELERATION I TURNED THE TRUCK OFF AND IMMEDIATELY THE GAS PEDAL POPPED OUT. I STARTED THE TRUCK BACK UP AND DROVE HOME 50 MILES WITH NO INCIDENTS I JUST DIDN'T FLOOR THE GAS PEDAL. BUT NEXT DAY WANTED TO SEE IF I COULD RECREATE THE INCIDENT. SO ON A SAFE ROAD TO TRY IT I FLOORED THE PEDAL AND SAME EXACT THING IT GOT STUCK ONLY WAY TO UNSTICK IS TURN TRUCK OFF. I DID THIS 5 TIMES AND EVERY TIME IT HAPPENS. THERE IS NO MATS OR ANYTHING CATCHING ON PEDAL AND NO WAY TO MANUALLY PULL THE PEDAL OUT IT IS REALLY STUCK WHEN THIS HAPPENS. ONLY THING TO GET IT UNSTUCK IS TURN TRUCK OFF AND IT POPS OUT LIKE INSTANTLY. TRUCK IS SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY AND I AM ABLE TO RECREATE THE PROBLEM AT ANY TIME. IM POSTING THIS FOR SOME SUGGESTIONS ON WHAT I SHOULD DO? POSSIBLE LAWSUIT? REPORT IT TO WHO? OR JUST TAKE IT TO DEALERSHIP AND GET CHARGED TO FIX IT AND NO REPORT OF MALFUNCTIONING TRUC

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE RAM 1500. THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO SHIFT INTO THE PARK POSITION AND WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS ENGAGED, THERE WAS AN UNINTENDED ACCELERATION WHICH RESULTED IN THE VEHICLE CRASHING INTO A BUILDING. THE VEHICLE SUSTAINED MODERATE FRONT END DAMAGES AND WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN INFORMED THAT THE DIAGNOSTIC CODES DETECTED A PROBLEM; HOWEVER, HE WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 60,000. UPDATED 01/24/11 *BF UPDATED 04/20/11

THE HEATER IN MY TRUCK DOES NOT BLOW IN THE DIRECTION THAT THE CONTROL KNOB IS DIRECTING IT TO. THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM ACCORDING TO CARCOMPLAINT.COM WITH THIS MAKE, MODEL AND YEAR. I HAD IT REPAIRED ON 03/02/2010 AT A COST OF ALMOST 800.00 DOLLARS. THE PROBLEM HAS RETURNED AGAIN ON 11/14/2010. IN ORDER TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM THE VENT DEFLECTOR DOOR MUST BE REPLACED, WHICH INVOLVES REMOVING THE ENTIRE DASH. THAT IS WHAT I'M TOLD BY THE DEALER. MY WINDOWS FOG UP WHILE DRIVING AND THE DRIVER CANNOT CHANGE THE DIRECTION OF THE AIRFLOW, THE FLOOR WILL GET ICE COLD, ALL AT UNKNOWN TIMES......PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE. *TR

CURRENTLY MY DODGE RAM 1500 IS HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE MULTIFUNCTION TURN SIGNAL. IF YOU TRY TO SIGNAL A TURN THE WRONG BLINKER COMES ON, IF YOU TRY TO TURN YOUR HIGH BEAMS ON OR OFF THE WASHER FLUID COMES ON, IF YOU TRY TO TURN THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS ON THEY RARELY WORK OFTEN GETTING STUCK IN THE INTERMITTENT PHASE. I FIRST FOUND THIS PROBLEM WHEN MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS WOULD NOT COME ON IN A FLASH THUNDERSTORM WHILE I WAS TRAVELING ON A HIGHWAY AT 65 MPH. THIS IS GOING TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT, IF YOU LOOK THERE ARE TOO MANY PEOPLE HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM FOR DODGE TO IGNORE IT. IF AN ACCIDENT OCCURS I WILL BE TAKING ANY LEGAL ACTIONS I CAN TO MAKE DODGE LIABLE, I JUST HOPE THAT NOBODY IS HURT OR KILLED BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE. *TR

I'VE BEEN HAVING A PROBLEM WITH MY 2006 DODGE RAM 1500 FOR A WHILE. THE TURN SIGNALS ARE ALL SCREWED UP. WHEN YOU TURN IT TO THE LEFT THE RIGHT SIGNAL COMES ON. I WAS ALMOST IN A WRECK YESTERDAY. HOW THIS ISN'T A SAFETY ISSUE IS BEYOND MY COMPREHENSION. WHEN I AM IN A WRECK BECAUSE OF THIS, I PLAN ON SUING THE BEJESUS OUT OF DODGE AND EVERYONE ELSE WHO I HAVE NOTIFIED AND WHO HAVE DONE NOTHING TO RECTIFY THIS CLEAR SAFETY PROBLEM. *TR

2006 DODGE MEGA CAB W/ HEMI. WHEN THE BLINKERS ARE TURNED ON ( LEFT OR RIGHT) THEY BLINK IN THE WRONG DIRECTION OR DO NOT BLINK AT ALL. ON MY TRUCK THEY STARTED ABOUT 1 MONTH AGO AND ARE INCREASINGLY GETTING WORSE. NOW EVERY TURN THEY ARE SURE TO MESS UP. THIS COULD BE A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE IF ANOTHER VEHICLE THINK YOU ARE TURNING 1 WAY AND YOU ARE ACTUAL TURNING ANOTHER. THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED.......... *TR

PREMATURE WARPING OF FRONT BRAKE ROTORS,CAUSING SEVERE FRONT END SHAKING WHEN BRAKING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS ALMOST CAUSING LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL.
