I WAS GETTING MY PICKUP SERVICED AT A SHOP (NOT A DEALER) AND THEY ADVISED ME OF THE FRONT END PROBLEMS AND THE DANGER OF CONTINUING TO DRIVE IT AND I COULD SEE THE PROBLEM WITH THE FRONT END. I HAD THE REPAIRS MADE AS I WAS UNABLE TO GET TO A DEALER WHICH WOULD BE 40 MILES AWAY. DODGE IS REFUSING TO PAY ANYTHING ON THE REPAIRS BECAUSE THEY WERE NOT MADE AT A DEALERSHIP. WE LIVE IN MONTANA AND THERE IS NOT A DEALER ON EVERY CORNER AND I WAS UNABLE TO GET TO ONE. IT WAS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE IT.

DRIVING AT A SPEED OVER 55 MPH AND HITTING A BUMP OR POT HOLE MY TRUCK STARTS TO SHAKE AND MY STEERING WHEEL SHAKES BACK AND FORTH VERY FAST AND UNCONTROLLABLE UNTIL I SLOW DOWN BELOW 35 MPH. I HAVE HEARD THIS CALLED THE DEATH WOBBLE AND I SEE HOW IT GOT ITS NAME, IF A SOLUTION ISN'T FOUND SOON ONE OF THESE TIMES I MAY NOT BE ABLE TO SLOW DOWN SAFELY AND KILL SOME ONE IN AN ACCIDENT OR MYSELF. *TR

ISSUE: LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT BULBS QUIT WORKING, AFTER SEVERAL REPLACEMENTS, INSTALLING NEW BULBS (LAMPS) DOES NOT REPAIR THE ISSUE. THE VEHICLE CURRENTLY HAS NO LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS, THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS HIGH BEAM HEADLIGHTS. NOT DRIVABLE AT NIGHT. TIPM (TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE) IS AT FAULT ACCORDING TO DODGE TECHNICIAN. THE LEFT (DRIVERS SIDE) LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT WENT OUT IN 2007, I REPLACED THE HEADLAMP BULB. OK. THE RIGHT (PASSENGER SIDE) LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT WENT OUT IN EARLY 2008. I REPLACED THE HEADLAMP BULB. OK. IN 2012 ,BOTH LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT. I REPLACED BOTH LAMPS.OK. IN 2013, THE RIGHT (PASSENGERS SIDE) LOW BEAM HEADLAMP WENT OUT. I REPLACED THE RIGHT (PASSENGERS SIDE) LOW BEAM LAMP, BUT THE LIGHT STILL DOES NOT WORK. I TOOK TO SHOP, AND THEY ATTEMPTED TO REPAIR, BUT COULD NOT LOCATE ISSUE. THEY SAID, NO FUSES TO REPLACE, IT HAS A TIPM MODULE THAT CONTROLS THE LIGHTING. IN 2014, THE LEFT (DRIVERS SIDE) LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT WENT OUT. I REPLACED THE HEADLAMP BULB. STILL NO LIGHTS. IN 2014, I CALLED THE DODGE DEALER, SPOKE WITH SERVICE. THE TECHNICIAN TOLD ME THAT THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM WITH THE 2006 DODGE RAM HEADLIGHTS, THAT IT IS PROBABLY THE TIPM (TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE) THAT NEEDS REPLACED. THE QUOTED COST OF THE TIPM WAS APPROXIMATELY $800 AND THE LABOR ABOUT $150. SUMMARY: MARCH 2015. THE 2006 DODGE RAM IS NOT OPERATIONAL EXCEPT DURING DAYLIGHT HOURS. IT ONLY HAS OPERATIONAL HIGH BEAM HEADLIGHTS, NO LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS. ALL NEW BULBS. I

THE DATE LISTED IS THE FIRST INSTANCE, TODAY, MARCH 3, 2015 WAS THE 2ND, WHILE DRIVING TOWING A TRAILER AND TRYING TO COME TO A STOP SIMULTANEOUSLY THE ELECTRIC TRAILER BRAKES FAILED TO ENERGIZE PUSHING THE TRUCK INTO A SKID AND THE ABS FAILED TO FUNCTION, UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION WE FOUND THAT THE BRAKE LIGHTS ON BOTH THE TRUCK AND TRAILER WERE NOT WORKING, TALKED TO THE DEALER TODAY AND THEY SAID "OH ITS PROBABLY JUST THE "TIPM" OR ONBOARD POWER MANAGEMENT SYSTEM" AS IF THIS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME. NEITHER INCIDENT CAUSED AN ACCIDENT HOWEVER FOR MY PART I HAVE BEEN TOWING TRAILERS AND DRIVING TRUCKS FOR A LONG TIME. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE RAM 2500. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH, THERE WAS A COMPLETE LOSS OF STEERING. THE VEHICLE WAS MANEUVERED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND THEN TOWED TO THE RESIDENCE. THE CONTACT WAS A CERTIFIED MECHANIC, WHO INFORMED THAT THE STEERING GEAR BOX SHAFT FRACTURED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 63,000.

MY TRUCK HAS WHAT IS KNOW AS "DEATH WOBBLE" AT CERTAIN HWY SPEEDS THE TRUCK SHAKES VIOLENTLY, YOU HAVE TO SLOW DOWN OR YOU WILL LOSE CONTROL. *TR

AFTER DRIVING THE TRUCK TO A DENTIST APPOINTMENT, THE TRUCK WOULD NOT START AND THERE WAS FUEL SPRAYING OUT OF THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT WHEN TURNING THE ENGINE OVER. A FEW DAYS EARLIER, I HAD COMMENTED ABOUT THE DIESEL ENGINE HAVING A "HICCUP". AFTER HAVING THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP, THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID "I BET I KNOW WHAT IT IS WITHOUT EVEN LOOKING". AS IT TURNS OUT, HE WAS ABSOLUTELY CORRECT. THE #4 CYLINDER FUEL INJECTOR LINE WAS RUPTURED AND SPAYING FUEL EVERYWHERE. HE INDICATED THAT THE '06 WAS VULNERABLE TO BREAKING THAT PARTICULAR INJECTOR LINE DUE TO VIBRATIONS. I LOOKED TB'S UP ON THE INTERNET AND THERE WERE NONE. HOWEVER, I FOUND NUMEROUS CONSUMER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME LINE FAILURE FOR '05 AND '06 MODELS. THIS CONDITION IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. IF THE FAILURE OCCURS WHILE ON THE ROAD AND THE ENGINE SHUTS DOWN, THERE COULD BE SERIOUS RISKS TO EVERYONE ON THE ROAD AS THESE RIGS ARE MADE TO PULL TRAILERS AND OTHER HEAVY EQUIPMENT. IN ADDITION, NUMEROUS OF THE COMPLAINTS CITED ENGINE COMPARTMENT FIRES. IF THIS SITUATION DOESN'T WARRANT AN NHTSA INVESTIGATION AND SUBSEQUENT RECALL, I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT WOULD TAKE. *TR

THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO RESTART BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE INTEGRATED POWER MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 155,000.

RECURRENT ELECTRICAL ISSUES, THAT DO NOT INVOLVE BLOWN FUSES OR BULBS. ENGINE DIAGNOSTIC CODES HAVE INDICATED TIPM PROBLEMS AND I HAVE HAD TO "ERASE CODES" TO RESTORE FUNCTIONALITY. THEN 2-3 MONTHS LATER RECURRENT PROBLEMS, ABNORMAL CODES AND ERASURE RESTORES FUNCTION. CODE DESCRIPTION INDICATES THAT THE TIPM WILL ONLY ALLOW 6 OR 8 RESETS ( DO NOT RECALL EXACT NUMBER) BEFORE TIPM WILL 'LOCK UP' AND NEED TO BE REPLACED. DESCRIPTION OF EPISODES: > RECURRENT MALFUNCTION OF INSTRUMENT LIGHTS. SUDDENLY ALL DASH LIGHTS AND TAIL LIGHTS SHUT OFF, YET BRAKE LIGHTS, HEADLIGHTS AND HAZARD LIGHTS REMAIN ON. HOWEVER, FOG LIGHTS CANNOT BE TURNED OFF, EVEN AFTER HEADLIGHTS OFF. THE DASH LIGHTS THEN FLASHED 4 TIMES, REMAINED OUT 2-3 MINS THEN FLASHED 4 TIMES. IN ADDITION TO THE LIGHTING PROBLEMS, THE VEHICLE BEGAN MISFIRING AND EVENTUALLY STALLED. WOULD NOT RESTART. ACTED LIKE NO SPARK AVAILABLE TO CYLINDERS. 5 MINS LATER, TRUCK STARTED HOWEVER DASH LIGHTS STILL OUT AND THEN INTERMITTENTLY FLASHING. I DROVE HOME USING HAZARD LIGHTS AS I HAD NO TAIL LIGHTS. SIMILAR EPISODE AS ABOVE HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES. > OTHER EPISODES OF TAIL LIGHT MALFUNCTION ALONG WITH INTERMITTENT LACK OF POWER TO RADIO. FUNCTION RESTORED AFTER STOPPING AND RESTARTING CAR > SUDDEN MISFIRING AND EVENTUAL STALL. RESTARTED AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS, RAN ROUGH BUT GOT TO DEALER. NO PROBLEM FOUND. RAN FINE FOR THEM. NO INJECTOR ISSUE. *TR

PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU CAN HELP [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

2006 DODGE RAM POWER WAGON, FIRST THE TRUCK STARTED WHEN IT WANT TO, WE WOULD HOLD THE KEY SEVERAL TIMES AND IT WOULD START, THEN AFTER ABOUT A WEEK THE TRUCK WOULD NOT TURN ON AT ALL: REPLACED BATTERY REPLACED STARTED REPLACED ALTERNATOR CHECK THE ELECTRONICS IN THE STEERING COLUMN A FRIEND CAME AND CHECK IT ON HIS COMPUTER AND IT SAID OVER VOLTAGE HE RESET THE COMPUTER AND IT STARTED. NOW I CAN NOT KEEP THE BATTERY CHARGED, I HAVE UNLOCKED ANY EXTRA LIGHTS I HAD ADDED MY REMOTE START. I READ LAST WEEK THAT THERE IS A FIBER OPTIC LINE THAT WOULD DISCONNECT IF THERE WAS AN EXTREME SHAKING, I GOT NEW TIRES AND THEY WERE BAD SO THE TRUCK SHOOK EVER BAD. WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS? *TR

2006 DODGE RAM. CONSUMER HAD CAR REPAIRED AND WOULD LIKE REIMBURSEMENT, DUE TO RECALL. *TA THE CONSUMER STATED THE LEFT TIE ROD SEPARATED, WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. RECALL # 13V528000. *JB

WHILE DRIVING MY 2006 RAM 2500 DIESEL PICKUP AT NORMAL HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED WITHOUT ANY OTHER ABNORMAL INSTRUMENT PANEL INDICATIONS OR CHANGE IN VEHICLE PERFORMANCE. BY THE TIME I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY PULL THE TRUCK OVER TO THE SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY (APPROX 1.5 MILES) I NOTICED A VERY STRONG DIESEL SMELL. UPON LOOKING THE TRUCK OVER I NOTICED AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF DIESEL FUEL DRIPPING ALL THE WAY FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT TO THE REAR BUMPER. DIAGNOSTICS REVILED THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL LINE FROM THE FUEL RAIL TO THE NUMBER 4 CYLINDER SPLIT AT THE ENGINE SIDE CONNECTOR AND THIS CAUSED A LARGE AMOUNT OF DIESEL FUEL TO BE SPRAYED INTO THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT, HOT EXHAUST COMPONENTS AND UNDERSIDE VEHICLE PARTS.. THE LOCAL DODGE DEALER (SMALL TOWN DEALERSHIP) HAD THE #4 FUEL LINE IN STOCK, THE PART WAS AN UPDATED DESIGN FROM THE ORIGINAL PART WITH AN IMPROVED CLAMPING BRACKET. REVIEW OF SEVERAL INTERNET LOCATIONS REVIEWED THIS IS A VERY COMMON MALFUNCTION FOR THE CUMMINGS 5.9L DIESEL ENGINES. MY OPINION IS THE KNOWN PROBLEMS WITH THIS PART COMBINED WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR A ENGINE COMPARTMENT FIRE IS SUFFICIENT RATIONAL FOR A MANUFACTURE'S RECALL TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF OPERATORS AND PASSENGERS IN THE 2006 DODGE RAM 2500 PICKUP.
