2006 Dodge Ram 2500 complaints

I HAVE AN 06 DODGE RAM 2500 MEGACAB 4X4 WITH 55K MILES. THE NIGHT PRIOR TO THE INCIDENT I PARKED MY TRUCK AFTER MY COMMUTE HOME ON THE INTERSTATE. THE NEXT MORNING I WAS DEPARTING MY RESIDENCE TO PICK UP COMMUTERS AND DRIVE TO WORK ON THE INTERSTATE WHEN MY D/S TIE ROD BROKE AS I TURNED OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY. MY RIM AND BRAKE SPLASH GUARD WRE DAMAGED FROM THE TIE ROD STRIKING IT. DODGE STATED THERE WAS A TSB CORRECTING STEERING ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE AND I COULD NOT PURCHASE JUST THE TIE ROD AND I HAD TO PURCHASE THE ENTIRE STEERING ASSEMBLY FOR OVER $700 NOT INCLUDING LABOR. IT WAS ALSO RECOMENDED THE BALL JOINTS TO BE REPLACED FOR OVER $3000. THE WORK HAS NOT BEEN COMPLETED YET. I WILL MOST LIKELY FIND "QUALITY" AFTERMARKET PARTS AND DO THE WORK MYSELF. *TT

2006 DODGE 2500. WHEN TURNING ON THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL, BOTH INDICATORS ON THE DASH WILL FLICKER AND THE RIGHT INDICATOR ON THE VEHICLE WILL ACTUALLY BE WORKING INSTEAD OF THE LEFT. THIS HAPPENS ON A REGULAR BASIS WHEN DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. IT IS NOW THAT I DO NOT UTILIZE TURN SIGNALS FOR FEAR THAT VEHICLES WILL MIS INTERPRET INTENTIONS AND CAUSE VEHICLE ACCIDENT. WENT TO DEALER AND THEY ARE AWARE OF ISSUE RECOMMENDING TURN SWITCH. *TR

TRYING TO MERG ONTO A HIGHWAY IN THE RAIN MY VEHICLES BLINKERS, LIGHT ADJUSTMENT, AND WINDSHIELD WIPERS WOULD NOT ACTIVATE. THIS EVENT DIDN'T RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT BUT IS A DANGEROUS RESULT OF A POORLY DESIGNED MULTI-FUNCTION SWITCH THAT CONTROLS BLINKERS AND WINDSHEILD WIPERS. THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURED PREVIOUSLY BUT NOT TO THE EXTENT FOR MYSELF OR OTHER TO COME INTO HARM AS IT DID TODAY. *TR

H.V.A.C. CONTROLS START TO GO OUT, THEN GO OUT COMPLETELY. THE PART THAT FAILS IS THE BLEND DOORS. THIS CAUSES A LOSS OF TEMPERATURE CONTROL, DIRECTIONAL, AND OR POWER CONTROL. WHEN THE H.V.A.C. IS NOT WORKING CORRECTLY, THE WINDSHIELD AND SIDE WINDOWS CAN FOG UP OBSTRUCTING THE DRIVER'S VIEW. THE WHOLE PROBLEM IS DUE TO A PLASTIC PART WORKING AGAINST A METAL PART, THAT CAUSES FAILURE OF THE PLASTIC TABS. *TR

2006 DODGE RAM 2500 4 X 4 MEGA CAB DEATH WOBBLE. I'VE HAD THE FRONT END OF MY TRUCK SHAKE AT SPEEDS OVER 45 MPH AND TURNING LEFT ON ANY SURFACE THAT HAS BUMPS. WHEN YOU HIT A BUMP THE FRONT OF THE TRUCK SHAKES, THE DASH BEGINS TO SHAKE AND THE TRUCK FEELS LIKE ITS GOING TO FALL APART. AFTER SLOWING DOWN TO LESS THAN 15MPH YOU MAY BE LUCKY TO GET CONTROL. AFTER THE SIXTH TIME IT HAPPEDED TO ME, I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY GOING 55MPH, MAKING A LEFT TURN OVER AN EXPANSION JOINT IN THE HIGHWAY, THE FRONT WHEELS, STEERING WHEEL AND DASH STARTED TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. MY TRUCK SLAMMED OF THE SIDE RAIL BEFORE I COULD GET CONTROL. AFTER CALLING DODGE THEY TOLD ME I'M STUCK BUYING A 2009 TIE ROD ASSEMBLY, PITMAN ARM, STEERING STABLIZER BECAUSE THEY NO LONGER MADE IT FOR DODGE RAM 2500 4 X 4 TRUCKS 2003 ' 2008 DUE TO SAFTY REASON.

2006 DODGE RAM 2500 HEATER WILL NOT SWITCH TO THE DEFROST OR THE FLOOR. AIR ONLY COMES OUT THE DASH. TRUCK ONLY HAS 40800 MILES ON IT BUT DODGE REFUSES TO FIX IT UNLESS I PAY FOR IT.

2006 DODGE 2500 / TURN SIGNAL PROBLEMS. *TR

TURN SIGNAL INTERMITTENTLY FAILS OR SIGNALS THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION.

UPON ENTERING THE FREEWAY AND JUST GETTING UP TO FREEWAY SPEED, THE RIGHT (DRIVER-SIDE) REAR TIRE SEPARATED FROM THE TREAD CAUSING THE VEHICLE SWERVE VIOLENTLY. DRIVER WAS ABLE TO RECOVER AND STAY ON THE ROAD. EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO WHEEL WELL, RIGHT REAR QUARTER PANEL, BUMPER, TAILLIGHT, AND TAILGATE. NO OTHER VEHICLES INVOLVED. *TR

2006 DODGE DEATH WOBBLE, WHEN AT SPEEDS ABOVE 40MPH, HIT A BUMP AND FRONT END GOES INTO A VIOLENT SHAKE. DODGE HAS A SERVICE BULLETIN ABOUT THIS ISSUE BUT IT COST OVER $2000.00. THERE ARE NUMEROUS ARTICLES ABOUT THIS SITUATION ALL OVER THE INTERNET. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL FROM DODGE BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED. *TR

MY 2006 DODGE RAM 2500 SHAKES VIOLENTLY WHEN IT HITS A BUMP AT SPEEDS OVER 40 MPH. THIS TRUCK HAS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT MY DEALERSHIP WILL NOT HONOR. THIS "DEATH WOBBLE" CONDITION IS DOCUMENTED EVERYWHERE ON THE NET. CHRYSLER HAS FIGURED OUT A WAY TO CHARGE $1,000.00 FOR THE MANDATORY REPAIR BY CALLING IT AN "TIE ROD UPDATE" UPDATES ARE NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THIS CROOKED PRACTICE. THIS "DODGE DEATH WOBBLE" IS A CONDITION THAT SHOULD BE A MAJOR CONCERN TO THEM. I WAS CHARGED $100.00 FOR THEM TO INSPECT MY TRUCK AND TELL ME THAT IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM THAT THEY STOCK PARTS FOR IT. I HAVE NOT HAD A CRASH YET BUT, CAN'T AFFORD TO PAY CHRYSLER ANYMORE MONEY TO FIX THEIR PROBLEMS. I WILL CONTINUE TO DRIVE THIS TRUCK IN THIS CONDITION UNTIL THERE IS A RECALL. FOR THE SAFETY OF EVERYONE ONE THE ROAD I WOULD THINK THAT SOMEONE WOULD FORCE THIS ISSUE. I'VE SEEN NEWS STORIES ON THIS AND STILL NOTHING HAS HAPPENED.HTTP://WWW.WSOCTV.COM/NEWS/19518416/DETAIL.HTML. *TR

DRIVING MY 06 DODGE RAM MEGA CAB 2500 5.9L DIESEL, THE #4 FUEL LINE CRACKED DIRECTLY BEHIND THE NUT ON TOP OF THE ENGINE. THIS HAPPENED IN DEC 09 AND HAPPENED AGAIN IN JAN 11. THIS CAUSED A FEW GALLONS OF FUEL TO LEAK ONTO THE HOT ENGINE WHICH COULD HAVE CAUSED A FIRE DUE TO THE DISTANCE I HAD TO DRIVE (NO SERVICES NEAR FOR 15 MILES IN THE MIDDLE OF ALASKAN WINTER). TRUCK WAS TOWED TO THE LOCAL DODGE DEALER AND PART WAS REPLACED SINCE ENGINE WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. THIS TIME THE PART IS 64.00 DOLLARS AND LABOR IS 130.00. *TR

I HAVE 2006 DODGE RAM 2500 TRX4, I STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY RT REAR TURN SIGNAL APPROX 2 MONTHS AGO. THOUGHT IT WAS BULB, WASN'T! I TOOK TRUCK TO LOCAL AUTO ELECTRIC SHOP, WAS TOLD ON DEC 14TH, 2010 THAT THE PROBLEM WAS THE ENTIRE FUSE BLOCK THAT CONTROLS THE TURN SIGNALS. HE CALLED DODGE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE PART WOULD RUN OVER $700 AND THAT THERE WERE 200 ALREADY ON BACK-ORDER! NOW, JAN 3RD, 2011 WHEN I PUSH ON BRAKE THE RT REAR LIGHT FLICKERS/FLASHES AS IF THE TURN SIGNAL IS WORKING. I DON'T BELIEVE THAT $700 PLUS LABOR IS ACCEPTABLE FROM DODGE, AND EVEN IF I ORDERED THE PART THEY CAN'T TELL ME WHEN IT WOULD DELIVER DUE TO LARGE BACK LOG ON THEM. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THERE IS A MAJOR ISSUE AND I THINK THAT THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUED BY DODGE. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 50MPH GOING AROUND A SLIGHT BEND TO THE RIGHT WHEN I EXPERIENCED THE DODGE "DEATH WOBBLE." I HAD TO SLOW DOWN AND PULL OVER FOR IT TO GO AWAY. THIS IS THE 3RD TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. ALL THE FORUMS I'VE CHECKED SUGGEST PURCHASING AFTER MARKET HEAVIER DUTY STEERING COMPONENTS. THIS DOESN'T SEEM REASONABLE TO ME CONSIDERING THE COST OF THE VEHICLE IN THE FIRST PLACE. I ALSO GO THRU BALL JOINTS EVERY YEAR AND I'VE NEVER HAD TO CHANGE THEM ON ANY OTHER VEHICLE I'VE EVER OWNED. *TR

1. DODGE RAM "DEATH WOBBLE", TRUCK SHAKES VIOLENTLY WHEN DRIVING AND HITTING ANY POT HOLE OR BUMP. *TR

FAILURE OF WINDSHIELD WIPER LINKAGE CAUSED LOSS OF VISION DURING HEAVY RAIN STORM. THIS IS OBVIOUS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT. THE DEALERS ARE SELLING THE REPLACEMENTS AS FAST AS THEY GET THEM IN. MY DODGE TRUCK IS ONLY 4 YEARS OLD AND THE LINKAGE FAILED WHERE THE LINKAGE ARM IS CONNECT TO THE WINDSHIELD WIPER ARM MOUNT. THE PROBLEM STEMS FROM A BALL AND SOCKET DESIGN THAT REQUIRES AN NYLON BUSHING TO HOLD THE TWO PARTS TOGETHER. THE NYLON BUSHING IS FAILING PREMATURELY (ONLY 4 YEARS.) SINCE THE REPLACEMENT IS THE EXACT DUPLICATE, WE CAN EXPECT IT TO ALSO WEAR OUT (ANOTHER 4 YEARS) AND CREATE AND INSTANT DRIVING HAZARD. THIS NEEDS TO BE REDESIGNED BY DODGE AND REPLACED ON ALL VEHICLES IMMEDIATELY BEFORE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT HAPPENS. TO KEEP REPLACING IT WITH THE SAME FLAWED DESIGN IS ABSURD. *TR

DEATH WOBBLE. *TR

COLD WEATHER CAUSES ICE TO FORM ON THE INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD AND THE HEATER CONTROL WOULD NOT GO TO DEFROST. HAD TO STOP IN HEAVY TRAFFIC TO SCRAPE THE INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF WINDSHIELD TO REMOVE ICE. THE AIR FLOW,BLEND DOOR PLASTIC ACTUATOR THAT IS CONNECTED TO THE ELECTRIC MOTOR BROKE. THE DEALER TOLD ME IT IS VERY COMMON AND CHARGED ME 578.93 TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO HAVE THEM FIX IT BECAUSE IT WAS TO DANGEROUS TO DRIVE IN THE WINTER. *TR

2006 DODGE RAM 2500 TURN SIGNALS DON'T WORK PART TIME AND PART TIME TURN ON THE WRONG SIGNAL LIKE TURN ON LEFT AND IT TURNS ON THE RIGHT, ALSO THE WIPERS WON'T TURN ON SOME TIMES AND THEN WON'T TURN ON PAST SLOW WIPE, WHEN YOU TURN ON THE BRIGHTS IT TURNS ON THE WASHER AND WIPERS, I UNDERSTAND THIS IS THE SAME SWITCH, THE MULTIFUNCTION SWITCH, DODGE HAS REDESIGNED IT NOW TWICE ACCORDING TO A DEALER BUT HAS NOT RECALLED IT AND CHARGES HIGH DOLLARS TO FIX IT UP TO $700.00 THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED YEARS AGO WHAT IS THE HANG UP FOR THE RECALL? *TR
