2006 Dodge Ram 1500 complaints

TRAVELING AT SPEEDS APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH AND ABOVE; WHEN APPLY BRAKES ABRUPTLY; THE STEERING WHEEL AND FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE SHAKE, HIGHER THE SPEED, SHAKING INCREASES.

I WAS COMING OUT OF THE HILLS AFTER A DAY OF HUNTING AND AS I MADE IT BACK TO TOWN LUCKLY GOING SLOWLY I TURNED THE CORNER AND MY DRIVER SIDE TIE ROD END BROKE. LEAVING MY TRUCK STRANDED IN A SMALL TOWN ABOUT 5 MILES FROM MY CAMP. TOOK MY TRUCK TO THE LOCAL SHOP THE NEXT DAY CAUSE THIS HAPPEND ON A SUNDAY AND GOT IT FIXED. THE MECANIC AT THE LOCAL SHOP TOLD ME THIS WAS A RECALLED PART. SO AFTER RETURNING HOME FROM MY HUNTING TRIP I LOOKED IT UP AND IT IS A RECALLED PART ON MANY DODGE VEHICLES. WHY WAS I NOT NOTIFIED? IF THIS HAPPEND AT 65 MILES AN HOUR MY 4 KIDS PROBLEY WOULDENT HAVE A FATHER TODAY. I HAVE A RECITE FOR THE WORK DONE. NOT ONLY DO I WANT MY MONEY BACK AND COMPENSATION FOR MY TIME I ALSO WOULD LIKE TO BE NOTIFIED OF ANY OHTER RECALLS. THIS DODGE OF MINE IS A PAVEMENT POUNDER. IT DRIVES FREEWAYS ONLY MOST OF THE YEAR AND ONLY A COUPLE WEEKS OUT OF THE YEAR DRIIVES MOUTAIN ROADS DURING HUNTING SEASON TO GET ME TO AND FROM MY LOCATIONS TO GET OUT AND HIKE BEHIND CLOSED GATES. IT HAULS NOTHING OTHER THAN A FEW ANIMALS AND A SMALL 19 FT TRAVEL TRAILER DURING HUNTING SEASON.

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FROM A USED CAR DEALER IN CLANTON, ALABAMA IN APRIL 2014. I WAS DRIVING TO MY MOM'S, WHO LIVES IN MISSISSIPPI WHEN I CAME UPON A BRIDGE ON THE INTERSTATE WHILE PASSING A 18 WHEELER. WHEN ENTERING THE BRIDGE THERE WAS A SMALL BUMP UP AND WHEN THE FRONT WHEELS OF THE TRUCK HIT THE BUMP THE FRONT OF THE TRUCK STARTED BOUNCING (DEATH BOUNCE OR ROLL) UNCONTROLLABLE. I HAD TO CUT OFF THE 18 WHEELER THAT I WAS PASSING AND PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE INTERSTATE AND COME TO A COMPLETE STOP FOR IT TO STOP. IT HAPPENED 4 MORE TIMES BEFORE I GOT TO MY DESTINATION AND IT HAS HAPPENED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS SINCE AND CAUSING ME TO ALMOST WRECK EACH TIME. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. YOU HAVE NO CONTROL OVER THE STEERING WHILE IT IS DOING THIS IT JUST BOUNCES YOU ALL OVER THE ROAD. I HAVE TALKED TO A MECHANIC AND HE SAID IT WAS THE ENTIRE FRONT END OF ALL DODGE TRUCKS THAT WAS CAUSING THIS PROBLEM AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. I WISH TO HAVE AN INVESTIGATION ON THIS MATTER, PLEASE. WITH ONLY 82K MILES ON THIS TRUCK THE ENTIRE FRT END SHOULD NOT BE BAD!! THIS PROBLEM, I WAS TOLD BY THE MECHANIC WAS A DEFECT FROM FACTORY AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL ON THE ENTIRE FRT SUSPENSION NOT JUST THE TIE ROD, BECAUSE THE TIE ROD IS NOT CORRECTING THE DEATH BOUNCE/ROLL PROBLEM WITH THIS TRUCKS. I HAVE A YOUNG SON AND A GRAND BABY WHO HAS TO RIDE IN THIS VEHICLE AND I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS TRUCK WITH MY SELF IN IT. I WILL BE LOOKING FORWARD TO HEARING FROM

I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE GOT THE TRUCK UP TWO 65 MILES AN HOUR AND THE FRONT END STARTS TO SHAKE REAL BAD. I HAD TOO SLOW DOWN SOME TO GET IT TO STOP SHAKING AS BAD. I HAD THE TIRES REBALANCED AND THAT DIDN'T HELP THAT MADE IT WORSE. I WANT TO KNOW HOW COME THEY HAVEN'T RECALLED ALL THE DODGE 1500 FOR FRONT END PROBLEMS. I NEVER GOT A RECALL NOTICED ABOUT THE AIR BAG RECALL.

MY HUSBAND'S DODGE RAM 1500 HAS HAD 2 POWER STEERING PUMPS REPLACED. THE LAST PUMP WAS REPLACED IN LESS THAN 39 DAYS. WITHIN THE LAST WEEK WE HAVE HAD 4 DIFFERENT EPISODES OF THE POWER STEERING GPOES OUT. WHEN THE POWER STEERING DOES GO OUT THERE IS A HARD JERK TO THE RIGHT SIDE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. THIS PAST TIME MY FAMILY AND I WAS PULLING A 27 FOOT CAMPER BEHIND US WHEN THE STEERING WENT OUT. WE ALSO HAD TO REPLACE THE STRUTS ON THE TRUCK. THIS IS RIDICULOUS TO KEEP HAVING THESE DANGEROUS PROBLEMS. I WILL NO LONGER LET MY SON RIDE WITH HIS FATHER BECAUSE OF THE PARENTAL OF THE STEERING GOING OUT. THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN.

RECEIVED A LETTER ABOUT DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG GOES OFF FROM HEAT

WAS DRIVING ON GRAVEL ROAD AFTER A HEAVY RAIN. CAME UPON A WATER PUDDLE AND WHEN I CROSSED IT THE FRONT WHEELS HIT FAIRLY HARD. AT THAT POINT THE FRONT STEERING LOCKED. I LET THE VEHICLE ROLL TO A STOP AS I FEARED LOOSING CONTROL AND LEAVING THE ROAD. THE STEERING WHEEL REMAINED LOCKED UNTIL I HAD STOPPED. I THEN TURNED OFF THE MOTOR AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE. I TURNED THE STEERING WHEEL AT STOPPED POSITION AND WITH EFFORT I WAS ABLE TO TURN LEFT THEN RIGHT. I FEEL SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THIS TRUCK. IT IS NOT COVERED IN THE BUY BACK ON DODGE RAM TRUCKS AS I UNDERSTAND IT, SO WHAT IS UP WITH THAT? WHAT COULD BE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN 2006 & 2008-2012 VEHICLES? I AM VERY UNHAPPY WITH THIS TRUCK FOR OTHER ISSUES, WHICH I DO NOT FIND WITH OTHER BRANDS SUCH AS GMC OR FORD. SHE IS BEAUTIFUL TO LOOK AT, BUT SEEMS TO HAVE INHERENT PROBLEMS IN ALL THESE TRUCKS. MY BROTHER-IN-LAW AND HIS SON OWN THE SAME MODELS BUT ONE IS AN 2008 AND THE OTHER 2012 WITH MUCH THE SAME ISSUES AS MY TRUCK. HEATING AND COOLING IS BAD. WIND AT THE SIDE WINDOWS IS INTOLERABLE. CANNOT CARRY ON ANY CONVERSATION WITH THE FAMILY WHEN GOING 65 MPH BECAUSE OF THE EXCESSIVE NOISE LEVEL FROM THESE POORLY CONSTRUCTED CAB WINDOW FRAMES. OK THAT'S IT FROM ME. PLEASE TELL WHY THIS 2006 DODGE RAM 1500 WAS NOT OFFERED A BUY BACK? BEST REGARDS RCM

THE TRUCK HAS HAD INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS WITH THE FRONT END, ASSEMBLY ON RIGHT AND LEFT SIDE. THE TRUCK WAS REPAIRED BY THE SHOP AND STILL NOT ABLE TO PERFORM CORRECTLY. FIRESTONE INVESTIGATED THE TRUCK AFTER IT WAS FIXED WITH ME TAKING IT BACK TO THE SHOP TO GET RE-FIXED. NOW AFTER IT HAS BEEN FIXED AGAIN, THE AXLE AREA IS STILL POPPING AND I DON'T KNOW IF IT IS FIXED OR NOT. I AM TIRED OF SPENDING MY MONEY ON IT. I WANT TO BLAME THE SHOP BUT I THINK IT IS A MANUFACTURER ERROR. ALSO, WITH THESE FRONT END ISSUES. THE FRONT END HIT A DIP IN THE ROAD AT ABOUT 30-35--NO DIP WARNING AND LOCKED UP THE FRONT END. I SPENT NEARLY $1000 REPLACING BRAKES, CALIPERS, AND ROTORS. NOT TO MENTION THE 300-500 REPLACING FRONT END PARTS ON THIS TRUCK. UPDATED 12/08/2017*CN

WHEN DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 74 JUST WEST OF GOODFIELD, ILLINOIS ON 7-25-15, I SPED UP TO ABOUT 60 MPH AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE STEERING AND FRONT END STARTED TO SHAKE AND IT SHOOK UNTIL I LOWERED THE SPEED DOWN UNDER 50 MPH AND CONTINUED ON FOR ABOUT 7-8 MILES. WHEN RETURNING I DIDN'T GET BACK UP TO 60 MPH. THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM BUT NOT AS GREAT SINCE I BOUGHT IT BACK IN NOVEMBER OF 2013.

I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK WHEN I CRASHED INTO A DUMP TRUCK AND MY CAR WAS PRETTY MUCH TOTALLED THE ACCIDENT WAS HORRIBLE AND THE AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOYED. I CONSTANTLY SUFFER BACK PAIN AND ALTHOUGH I WAS TOLD BY THE HOSPITAL TO GET THE TREATMENT I LOST MY JOB DUE TO THE PAIN I GET PLUS I DID NOT HAVE ANY TRANSPORTATION. AND NOW I SEE THAT THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS VEHICLE FOR THE AIR BAG.

I WAS ON MY WAY HOME WITH MY CHILDREN IN MY TRUCK CRUISING ALONG AT ABOUT 55 MPH WHEN OUT OF NOWHERE THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED WOBBLING VERY HORRIBLY. SO, I STOPPED IN A GAS STATION PARKING LOT THAT WAS OUT BY THE INTERSTATE AND CALLED A FEW PEOPLE AND TRIED TO TAKE A LOOK AT IT. THE RF WHEEL WAS EXTREMELY HOT BUT COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING ELSE WRONG WITH IT. IF I GOT ABOVE 50 MPH THE WOBBLE GOT BAD BUT IF I KEPT IT AROUND 45MPH, IT WAS NOT AS BAD AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME. HAD IT LOOKED AT AND NOBODY COULD SEEM TO FIND THE ISSUE. WE TRIED CHANGING THE BRAKES ON IT FROM THE CALIPER DOWN TO THE BRAKE PADS BUT IT DIDN'T FIX THE ISSUE. I DON'T HARDLY DRIVE IT NOW DUE TO NOT KNOWING IF IT IS GOING TO DO IT AND WHEN SOMETHING BAD IS GOING TO HAPPEN. ESPECIALLY IF I HAVE MY 4 CHILDREN IN THE TRUCK WITH ME.
