2006 DODGE RAM 1500 Electrical System Problems

Several safety-critical systems on my vehicle are failing, and the symptoms match existing recalls shown on Kelley Blue Book for my VIN. However, the manufacturer (Dodge/Stellantis) shows only 4 recalls, all marked completed — despite ongoing issues. 1. ABS / Brake System: The ABS warning light is on continuously, indicating a malfunction in the ABS control module. This disables anti-lock braking, increasing the risk of skidding or loss of control during emergency stops. KBB shows a recall for this issue, but Dodge says it’s either not open for my VIN or already completed. The ABS light has remained on since 2. Front Wheel Bearing: There is a grinding noise and vibration from the front wheel area, suggesting a worn or failing wheel bearing. This poses a risk of steering loss or wheel detachment. No warning lights have appeared for this issue. 3. Transfer Case / 4WD: The 4WD system intermittently fails to engage or disengage, sometimes with clunking noises or jerking. This can cause unpredictable handling or loss of traction. Issue is still ongoing. 4. Electrical System: Intermittent electrical issues include random warning messages, dimming lights, and occasional no-starts. These affect essential safety systems and match known electrical recalls. These issues have not been confirmed by a dealer but are ongoing and present serious SAFETY risks. I believe my vehicle may have been incorrectly excluded from applicable recalls or that prior recall work was not properly completed. These components are available for inspection.

I was adjusting the steering wheel and the power completely shuts off. I had no steering power.

UNKNOWN TURN SIGNALS FAIL TO WORK

The contact owns a 2006 Dodge Ram 1500. The contact stated that while attempting to accelerate after the vehicle was idling, the vehicle inadvertently stalled without warning. The failure occurred intermittently and became more frequent. The vehicle was lunging forward while idling and was shifting hard while driving. The contact stated that the coil pack relay might have malfunctioned. While inspecting the vehicle, the contact noticed that the main fuse box under the hood had exposed fuses and the box was easily accessible. The contact took the vehicle to a certified mechanic and the fuel pump was replaced. The failure persisted. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 168,000.

I'm always having issues with the airbag light coming on while driving it goes away then come back when there is a sudden move and causes something to trigger. also, I'm having issues with my headlight low mode not working I did a lot of research stating that many people are having the same issue and the problems have to do with the fuse box close to the battery. I'm also having an issue with the brake lamp going off on my dashboard not sure what that could be tried so many repairs and nothing seems to work.

THE TIPM NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE AIR CONDITION IS CYCLING BECAUSE OF THE PROBLEM WITH THE TIPM

Mileage: 75,000

TRUCK STARTED RUMBLING THAT SOUNDED LIKE WHEN YOU GO OVER RUMBLE STRIPS ON THE FREEWAY IF I REPLACE THE REAR END AND IT'S STILL DOING IT. THE SECOND THING IS THE TRANSFER CASE HAS SOME KIND OF SHORT IN IT THAT NO ONE CAN FIGURE OUT DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD IT LOCKS IN LIGHTS OUT PERIODICALLY SO I HAD TO DISENGAGE IT SO IT WOULDN'T DO THAT SO I CAN DRIVE IT WOULD ALSO GO INTO NEUTRAL JUST RANDOMLY I WAS DRIVING UPHILL WHEN IT HAPPENED AND I HAD TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION THAT COST ME $4,200 WHICH I THOUGHT WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM BUT IT DID NOT. *TR

Mileage: 134,000

DODGE IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE. THEY HAVE UPDATED THE PART AND THERE ARE MANY CUSTOMER PAID REPAIRS. THE CONTROL BOX FOR THE HEATING AND A/C SYSTEM IS DEFECTIVE AND BREAKS AT THE BLEND DOOR. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THE BLEND DOOR NO LONGER WORKS AND IT DISABLES THE DEFROSTER AND A/C. ON COOL OR COLD DAYS, THE WINDSHIELD CAN SUDDENLY FOG UP AND THERE IS NO WAY TO CLEAR THE VIEW AS AIR DOES NOT BLOW IN THAT DIRECTION. ON HOT DAYS, THE SYSTEM CAN NOT PUSH AIR OUT ENOUGH TO KEEP THE DRIVER FROM EXCESSIVE HEAT. THE PART NUMBER IS 68004226AC. THIS PART HAS BEEN SUPERSESSION CHAIN OF ABOUT 4 OTHER NUMBERS AS DODGE CORRECTED DESIGN FLAWS OVER THE YEARS. I WOULD ALSO NOTE THAT BECAUSE THIS INVOLVED A/C AND HEATING, MANY PEOPLE DO NOT NOTIFY NHTSA OF THE CONCERN, BUT IT IS VERY WELL DOCUMENTED AND KNOWN. IT IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM THAT CAUSES DRIVING ISSUES WITHOUT BEING REPORTED.

MY TRUCK HAS BEEN HAVING SAFETY ISSUES OVER TIME. MOST RECENTLY HAVING OVER-HEATING ISSUES AND ENGINE PROBLEMS SINCE FEBRUARY 2018. THE ELECTRICAL ISSUES HAPPENED SINCE LAST YEAR, DASHBOARD NO LONGER LIGHTS UP. MY ONE OF MY FRONT HEAD LIGHTS NO LONGER LIGHTS UP. IVE CHANGED IT SEVERAL TIMES AND IT STILL GOES OUT. MY DRIVER SEAT BEAT NO LONGER BUCKLES.

THE DASH CLUSTER STARTED WITH THE RPM GUAGE STOPPED WORKING AT ABOUT 90,000 MILES AND NOW ALL OF IT IS MAXED OUT FULL GAUGES ON THE WHOLE DASH CLUCTER AND THE SPEED ODOMITER STILL MOVES BUT IS NOT CORREST ITS ABOUT 20MPH OFF. I CANT REMEMBER BUT I BELIEVE I WAS DRIVING AND NOTICED THE RPM GAUGE FIRST AND WEEKS LATER I NOTICED ALL THE OTHER GAUGES

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS A PREMATURE FAILURE WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL FEATURE ACTIVATING OR NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. THERE WAS ALSO UNINTENDED MOVEMENT WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN GEAR. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE IF THERE WAS AN ELECTRICAL FAILURE THAT ACTIVATED THE CRUISE CONTROL, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO LUNGE AND ACCELERATE AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. FORCE WAS APPLIED TO THE BRAKE PEDAL WHEN THE FAILURE HAPPENED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO CHECKED FOR DTC, BUT WAS UNABLE TO REPLICATE AND DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THERE WAS NO REPAIR RECOMMENDATION FROM THE INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. ADDITIONALLY, A BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH WAS REPLACED BY THE INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE DEALER (WHITTEN BROTHERS OF ASHLAND, 11409 WASHINGTON HWY, ASHLAND, VA 23005, (804) 798-6071) WAS ALSO UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 14V795000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) AND 06V038000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC). THE MANUFACTURER ISSUED SIX TSBS FOR THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AND WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE APPROXIMATELY 130,000. *TT

FIRST PROBLEM WAS ONE IDIOT LIGHT ON THE DASH INDICATED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS ON (AND IT WASN'T). BUT SINCE THE OPERATION OF THE TRUCK WAS NOT AN ISSUE, I CONTINUED DRIVING FOR TWO MORE MONTHS WHILE MORE AND MORE IDIOT LIGHTS CAME ON EACH TIME THE VEHICLE WAS USED, ELECTRONICALLY REPORTING A PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE WHEN THERE WASN'T ONE. FINALLY TWO MONTHS LATER, THE TRUCK WOULD NOT START AT ALL OR EVEN TURN OVER. WHEN THE KEY WAS TURNED TO START THE VEHICLE, THE ENGINE WOULDN'T EVEN CRANK. YET ALL THE IDIOT LIGHTS CAME ON WHICH INDICATED TO ME IT WAS AN ELECTRONIC PROBLEM AND NOT A MECHANICAL ONE LIKE A BAD IGNITION OR BAD BATTERY. AFTER REPEATED ATTEMPTS, OPENING AND CLOSING THE DOORS ELECTRONICALLY WITH THE KEY FOB ON AND OFF REPEATEDLY, DISCONNECTING AND RECONNECTING THE BATTERY, LOCKING AND UNLOCKING THE DOORS MANUALLY, AND EVEN JIGGLING THE STEERING WHEEL, EVENTUALLY THE VEHICLE WOULD START UP COMPLETELY NORMALLY, BUT WITH ALL THE IDIOT LIGHTS ON. THIS WAS ERRATIC AND THERE WAS NO RHYME OR REASON WHY IT WAS HAPPENING OR WHAT CAUSED THE PROBLEM. THE SITUATION CONTINUED LIKE THIS ABOUT A WEEK UNTIL THE ENGINE WOULD NOT EVEN SHUT DOWN WHEN THE KEY WAS TURNED TO THE OFF POSITION. NOT ONLY THAT, SEVERAL TIMES THE ENGINE CONTINUED RUNNING WHEN THE KEY WAS REMOVED AND THERE WAS NO WAY TO STOP THE ENGINE FROM RUNNING EXCEPT SITTING IN THE VEHICLE AND WAITING FOR IT TO SPUTTER TO A STOP, WHICH WAS A COLOSSAL WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY AND A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION. AFTER A SUBSEQUENT APPOINTMENT AT THE LOCAL DODGE DEALER HERE IN ALBUQUERQUE WHERE THE VEHICLE SAT IN THE SERVICE BAY FOR A WEEK WHILE THE ISSUE WAS BEING EVALUATED, RESULTING IN THE ISSUE EVENTUALLY BEING DIAGNOSED AS A BAD TIPM, WHICH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT A GROSSLY OVERPRICED COST OF $1600, SINCE THE PART IS AVAILABLE ONLINE FOR LESS THAN $400.

Mileage: 98,000

THE TIPM NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT ON ME DRIVING TO WORK AT 3:00 AM (IN THE MORNING) PITCH BLACK OUT. ALMOST WRECKED OR DIED. THIS IS NOT SOMETHING ACCEPTABLE. THERE JHAVE BEEN MANY COMPLAINTS AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE. DODGE HAS A PROBLEM HERE AND IT NEEDS TO BE FIXED NOW!!!

DROPPED TRUCK OFF FOR DETAILING. TRUCK WAS OFF. WHEN EMPLOYEE TRIED TO START TRUCK BATTERY WAS DEAD. AFTER JUMPING BATTERY, IT STARTED BUT ONCE DRIVEN 50 FEET TO PARK, THE TRUCK KEY COULD BE TURNED OFF, KEY REMOVED, BUT TRUCK STILL RUNNING. COULD NOT GET IT TO TURN OFF. ELECTRIC WINDOWS CLOSED THEMSELVES, AIR CONDITIONING WOULD NOT OPERATE. DASH BOARD LIGHTS CAME ON. MANUAL BRAKE WAS SET AND COULD BE RELEASED, BUT LIGHT NEVER WENT OUT. TRUCK WAS ABOUT 90 DEGREES IN HAWAII HEAT, SO COULDN'T DRIVE IT TO DODGE DEALER WITH NO AIR AND WINDOWS INOPERABLE. SCARY. HAD IT HAULED TO DEALER ON TRUCK WHILE IT WAS RUNNING. DEALER SAID BATTERY DRAINED AND TIPM NEEDS REPLACEMENT, AND THEN FURTHER INVESTIGATION. EST. $3,000 ALREADY FOR REPAIRS. IN MONTH LEADING UP TO THIS, VEHICLE HAD VIBRATION. DEALERS REPLACED FUEL INJECTOR, REAR END DIFFERENTIAL, BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS AND CALIPERS, ALL WHICH HAD PASSED AN INSPECTION JUST A COUPLE MONTHS EARLIER. COST ESTIMATE ON THESE COMBINED $3,000 ALSO. SAW RECALL 05V461000 ONLINE FOR 2006 DODGE RAM 1500 TRANSFER CASE. COULD THIS BE RELATED? I HAD SIMILAR THING HAPPEN WITH MY DODGE NITRO WHICH WAS ON RECALL.

AT FIRST THE WIPERS WOULD STOP RANDOMLY (WHILE DRIVING IN A RAINSTORM) BUT I WOULD FIDDLE WITH THE SWITCH AND THEY WOULD NORMALLY COME BACK ON. IN THE LAST WEEK THEY BASICALLY QUIT WORKING ALTOGETHER OTHER THAN A RANDOM STROKE HERE OR THERE. I REPLACED THE WIPER/SIGNAL CONTROL SWITCH ON THE STEERING COLUMN YESTERDAY THINKING IT MUST BE WORN OUT. TO NO AVAIL, THE WIPERS ARE NOT WORKING AND AFTER RESEARCHING ON THE INTERNET, I FIND THAT IT IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM. PEOPLE ARE REPLACING PARTS, SPENDING MONEY AT SERVICE CENTERS AND NOT GETTING THE PROBLEM SOLVED. I LIVE IN THE RAINY NORTHWEST AND I CAN TELL YOU THAT IT IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE NOT BEING ABLE TO SEE IN FRONT OF YOU WHILE NAVIGATING I-5 AT 70MPH AT SOME RANDOM POINT DURING A TRIP. THIS PROBLEM STARTED OVER A YEAR AGO BUT WAS ALWAYS A MOMENTARY THING AND WOULD RESOLVE ITSELF, BUT IT IS NOW A PERMANENT PROBLEM AND I WISH I KNEW WHAT PART REPLACEMENT WOULD RESOLVE IT.

WHEN IT IS VERY HOT AND THE WINDOWS HAVE BEEN UP, THE IGNITION SWITCH WILL NOT TURN. THE STEERING WHEEL WILL NOT TURN AND THE KEY WILL NOT ROTATE FROM LOCKED POSITION. I HAVE CONTACTED DODGE AND THEY SAY THEY HAVE MADE NOTES ON THE ISSUE, BUT THEY DON'T SEE A PROBLEM THAT THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR. IF THIS WAS AN ISSUE THAT I WOULD HAVE CONTROL OF CREATING - IT WOULD BE MY PROBLEM. THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH SAFETY IN THAT IF I HAD AN EMERGENCY AND THIS HAPPENED I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO START MY CAR. OR, HAVE A CAR-FULL OF GROCERIES AND FIND OUT THE CAR WON'T START!!! BAD ENOUGH I HAVE TO WAIT FOR THE CAR TO COOL OFF WHEN THIS HAPPENS. THIS IS A SUMMERTIME ISSUE WHICH MAKES ME HAVE TO FIND SHADE OR PARK WHERE THE SUN DOESN'T SHINE INTO THE FRONT OF THE CAR. PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE A PART (PROBABLY PLASTIC) THAT EXPANDS WHEN IT GETS VERY HOT AND PREVENTS THE KEY CYLINDER FROM ROTATING. THIS CAN'T BE THE ONLY CAR WITH THIS ISSUE AS DODGE WOULD ELUDE TO . . .

OWNER [XXX] WAS TRAVELING UP A LONG HILL ON DIRT ROAD WHEN ABOUT HALF WAY UP HILL VEHICLE SUDDENLY QUIT RUNNING (NO WARNING) AND "CHECK GAGE LIGHT" (CGL) CAME ON. TRUCK RESTARTED, BUT WOULD NOT PULL HILL. I SLOWLY BACKED TRUCK DOWN HILL WITHOUT ENGINE -- AND STARTED TRUCK ON LEVEL GROUND AND TURNED AROUND. TRUCK RAN FINE THE ABOUT TWO MILES HOME , BUT "CHECK GAGE LIGHT" REMAINED ON. (ALL GAGES AND LIQUID LEVELS CHECKED NORMAL) THE GAS GAGE SHOWED JUST BELOW HALF FULL. AFTER ARRIVING HOME, I ADDED A GALLON OF GASOLINE, BUT CGL REMAINED ON. I CALLED SERVICE MANAGER AT SLOAN FORD IN COLUMBIA , TN. WHO SUGGESTED HAVING TRUCK TOWED TO SLOAN FORD TO BE CHECKED (ABOUT 20 MILES). WHEN WRECKER ARRIVED AT MY HOME FOR TRUCK, THE TRUCK STARTED AND CGL WAS OFF. SLOAN TECHNICIANS KEPT THE TRUCK FOR A WEEK, AND THE PROBLEM NEVER OCCURRED AGAIN AND HAS NOT SINCE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF THE TRUCK STALLING SUDDENLY AGAIN IN FAST MOVING TRAFFIC, ETC.. I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR OF ANY SIMILAR CASES , AND THE POSSIBLE CAUSE. I CONSIDER THIS UNKNOWN MYSTERY POTENTIALLY VERY DANGEROUS CAUSING ME TO BE RELUCTANT TO DRIVE TRUCK IN HEAVY TRAFFIC OR LONG DISTANCES.

I WAS DRIVING ON HIGHWAY 64 E NEAR WILLIAMSBURG SPEED LIMIT ON THE HIGHWAY IS 70 MPH WHICH IS THE SPEED LIMIT AT WHICH TRUCK TURNED OFF ON ITS OWN. NO HARD IDLING, NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON JUST TURNED OFF ON ITS OWN. POWER STEERING WAS LOST ALONG WITH THE BRAKES AND COULD NOT CONTROL THE TRUCK. HAD TO LET IT GO AS IT UNTIL I IMPACTED IN A DITCH CAUSING THE TIRE TO COME OFF THE WHEEL WELL, DAMAGE TO THE UNDERCARRIAGE AND FRONT DRIVER SIDE BUMPER. THE TRUCK IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE DUE TO IT SHUTTING OFF AND NOW STEERS TO THE LEFT. AFTER SOME RESEARCH ALL DODGE RAMS 2006-2011 HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS ISSUE BUT DODGE HAS NOT DONE ANYTHING TO RECTIFY THE PROBLEM. THIS IS HIGHLY DANGEROUS AS IT COULD OF RESULTED IN THE LOSS OF LIFE IF IT WASN'T BECAUSE OF THE AMOUNT OF SOFT MULCH THAT BRACED MY IMPACT. I AM IN THE MILITARY SERVING ACTIVE DUTY AND HAVE COME HOME DEPLOYMENT AFTER DEPLOYMENT AND TO HAVE IT ALL END BECAUSE OF A FAULTY VEHICLE. *TR

WILL DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE TRUCK COMPLETELY SHUT OFF AND DIED. I WAS NOT ABLE TO SAFELY MANEUVER THE TO THE ROAD AND WAS ALMOST REARENDED BY THE VEHICLE BEHIND ME. I HAD TO GET OUT OF THE TRUCK AND PUSH IT ACROSS 2 LANES OF TRAFFIC TO GET IT OFF THE ROAD. AFTER FURTHER INVESTIGATION I FOUND THAT THE TIPM IN 2006 DODGE TRUCKS ARE BAD. THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL TO DATE AND THIS IS AN EXTREME SAFETY LIABILITY. THIS IS THE FIRST DODGE I HAVE OWNED AND I JUST PURCHASED THE VEHICLE 3 WEEKS AGO. I WILL NEVER OWN ANOTHER DODGE, CHRYSLER OR JEEP VEHICLE AS LONG AS LIVE.

THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING OFF AND ON, AND NO MECHANICS CAN SEEM TO FIGURE IT OUT SINCE IT DOESN'T HAPPEN ALL THE TIME. I'M SCARED TO DRIVE IT. I HAVE BEEN ON DODGEFORUM.COM, AND THERE ARE MANY DODGE MODELS/YEARS SUFFERING THIS PROBLEM, BUT NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO TO GET IT FIXED (NOR DO I HAVE THE MONEY TO KEEP TAKING IT IN AGAIN AND AGAIN). IT "CODES OUT" AS AN ELECTRICAL/COMPUTER ISSUE OF UNKNOWN ORIGIN THAT NO ONE HAS YET BEEN ABLE TO FIX, DESPITE REPLACED VALVES, RELAYS, ETC. *TR

DODGE ISSUED AN "EXTENDED" WARRANTY FOR THE SIGNAL REALLY IN THE STEERING COLUMN. THEY STATED IT COULD BREAK. IT REALLY MALFUNCTIONS- ONE SIGNALING LEFT IT COULD/WOULD CHANGE FROM SIGNALING LEFT TO SIGNALING RIGHT. THEY ARE AWARE OF THIS - WHEN I TRIED TO GET MINE FIXED THEY SAID THAT THEY TRUCK WOULD NEED TO SHOW THE MALFUNCTION FOR THEM TO HONOR THE WARRANTY. I FEEL THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL DO TO FAULTY SIGNALS (SAFETY ISSUE) I SPOKE TO CORPORATE AND THEY FELT THE ISSUE WAS ADDRESSED. *TR

MY BLINKER LEVER DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY. WHEN I USE THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL IT STARTED TO BLINK TO THE RIGHT. THROUGHOUT THE REST OF THE DAY IT WOULD DO THIS INTERMITTENTLY. I WAS GOING DOWN A HEAVY TRAFFIC AREA AND USED MY LEFT TURN SIGNAL. A CAR TWO LANES OVER SLIGHTLY BEHIND ME STARTING HONKING THEIR HORN AT ME BECAUSE IT WAS ATTEMPTING TO GO ONE LANE OVER TO THE RIGHT. WE BOTH TRIED TO GO INTO THE MIDDLE LANE AT THE SAME TIME AND I INITIALLY THOUGHT IT WAS THE OTHER DRIVER'S FAULT. I LOOKED AT MY BLINKER LEVER AND I DID HAVE IT IN THE CORRECT POSITION FOR A LEFT SIGNAL. I THEN LOOKED AT MY LIGHT DISPLAY FOR THE BLINKER AND IT WAS FLASHING TO THE RIGHT. MY WIFE TOLD ME ABOUT THIS HAPPENING BEFORE WITHOUT ME IN THE VEHICLE BUT THIS I FINALLY GOT TO EXPERIENCE IT MYSELF. IF IT WASNT FOR MY AWARENESS AND THE OTHER VEHICLE HONKING THEIR HORN, THEN WE WOULD HAVE COLLIDED. EVER SINCE THAT DAY I EXPERIENCED IT MYSELF, I HAVE NOTICED IT HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY NOW. SOMETIMES I USE THE BLINKER LEVER AND I GET NO TURN SIGNAL AT ALL ANYMORE EXCEPT FOR PRESSING THE LEVER HARDER DOWN OR UP.

THE TURN SIGNAL WILL INTERMITTENTLY MALFUNCTION, CAUSING THE RIGHT INDICATOR TO BLINK THOUGH THE LEVER IS IN THE DOWN POSITION WHICH WHEN OPERATIONAL SHOULD SIGNAL THE LEFT INDICATOR.

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.

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.

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.

AFTER ASSURING HIM THAT I DID WE EXPLORED THE POSSIBILITY THAT MY LIGHTS WERE OUT - AFTER GOING THROUGH ALL THE MOTIONS WE CONCLUDED THAT MY LIGHTS WORKED FINE BUT FOR SOME REASON , MY TURN SIGNALS WOULD RANDOMLY DECIDE NOT TO WORK AND WORK AT OTHER TIMES FOR NO REASON. THE OFFICER LET ME GO WITH A WARNING AND A PROMISE TO LOOK INTO THE SITUATION RIGHT AWAY. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH , I HAVE FOUND MANY OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM FROM THE SAME AUTOMAKER - DODGE NEEDS TO RECALL ALL OF THEIR 2006 RAM'S AND REPLACE THEIR DEFECTIVE PARTS. I BELIEVE ( FROM WHAT I HAVE READ) IT IS THE MULTI-FUNCTION SWITCH THAT NEEDS THE REPLACING. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN IF PEOPLE ARE THINKING THAT THEIR TURN SIGNALS ARE WORKING PROPERLY AND IN FACT THEY ARE NOT - IF IT IS CONCERN ENOUGH TO WARRANT A FAILED INSPECTION FROM A DEALERSHIP OR STATE MANDATED LAW , WHY DOES DODGE BELIEVE THAT IT IS NOT NECESSARY FOR THEM TO REPLACE THEIR MISTAKES ?

I HAVE A 2006 DODGE RAM 1500 AND THE TURN SIGNALS DO NOT WORK CORRECTLY. THE TRUCK WAS FUNCTIONING PROPERLY BEFORE AND THERE HAS NOT BEEN ANY CHANGES OR ACCIDENTS TO THE VEHICLE THAT COULD HAVE CAUSED IT. WHEN YOU TURN THE RIGHT SIGNAL ON, IT WILL BLINK A FEW TIMES, THEN THE LEFT WILL BLINK A FEW TIMES, OR IT WILL GO BACK AND FORTH LIKE A POLICE CAR. SOME TIMES BOTH WILL BLINK AT THE SAME TIME. SOME TIMES IT HAS A STROBE LIGHT EFFECT. MY TRUCK HAD 70K MILES ON IT WHEN IT STARTED AND IT HAPPENS EVERY DAY. IT MIGHT NOT HAPPEN EVERY TIME I TURN THE BLINKER ON, BUT IT DOES HAPPEN EVERY DAY. IT HAS MADE DRIVING VERY DANGEROUS, BECAUSE VEHICLES WILL CUT ME OFF BECAUSE THEY ARE UNABLE TO DETERMINE WHAT MY TURN SIGNALS ARE TELLING THEM. IT MAKES IT DANGEROUS TO CHANGE LANES AND TURN AT INTERSECTIONS. DRIVING AT NIGHT IS EVEN WORSE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE RECALLED. I HAVE DONE ONLINE RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT IT IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS YEAR AND MODEL TRUCK. THE SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM IS TO REPLACE THE TURN SIGNAL SWITCH IN THE STEERING COLUMN. I CALLED MY LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT WOULD COST AROUND 500 DOLLARS TO FIX. I HIGHLY STRESS THAT THIS ISSUE BE ADDRESSED.

2006 DODGE RAM TURN SIGNAL SWITCH, WHEN ACTIVATED FOR LEFT TURN BOTH TURN SIGNALS FLASH OR WILL COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. WHEN ACTIVATING WINDSHIELD WIPERS DURING RAIN THEY SOMETIMES TURN OFF BY THEMSELVES AND I HAVE TO FIDDLE WITH THE SWITCH TO GET THEM GOING AGAIN WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. WENT TO DEALER THEY WANT $300.00 TO FIX IT SINCE ITS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE, WIPERS TURNING OFF IN THE RAIN IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE? *TR

I HAVE A 2006 DODGE RAM 1500 QUAD CAB TRUCK. I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM SINCE SHORTLY AFTER I PURCHASED THE TRUCK. THE TURN SIGNALS AND THE WIPERS INTERMITTENTLY DO NOT WORK. ALSO, IF I PUT ON THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL THE RIGHT ONE GOES ON MOST OF THE TIME. FROM RESEARCH I HAVE DONE THIS IS DUE TO A FAULTY MULTI FUNCTION SWITCH THAT CONTROLS THE TURN SIGNALS, WIPERS AND HAZARD LIGHTS. THE DEALER HAS REPLACED THIS SWITCH TWICE UNDER WARRANTY AND WILL NOT REPLACE IT NOW THAT IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY. THIS IS A REAL SAFETY HAZARD ESPECIALLY WHEN THE WIPERS STOP WORKING DRIVING IN THE RAIN. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM AND THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF POSTS ON THE INTERNET WITH PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL FOR THIS. IT IS A REAL SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE FIXED. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 DODGE RAM QUAD CAB AND RECENTLY THE TURN SIGNAL / WIPER SWITCH HAS BEEN ACTING UP. QUITE OFTEN WHEN I PUSH DOWN TO TURN THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL ON THE RIGHT COMES ON AND THERE ARE TIMES WHEN NO TURN SIGNAL COMES ON AT ALL. I WAS ALMOST REAR-ENDED BECAUSE OF THIS. ALSO SOMETIMES THE WIPERS WILL NOT COME OUT OF INTERMITTENT NO MATTER WHAT SETTING I HAVE THEM ON. AGAIN THIS ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE DURING A HEAVY RAINSTORM ALL THAT I COULD GET TO WORK WAS INTERMITTENT. I HAVE READ ONLINE OF OTHER 2006 DODGE RAM OWNERS HAVING THESE SAME ISSUES. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN AND SHOULD BE RECALLED. *TR

THE TURN SIGNALS AND WIPERS ON MY 2006 DODGE RAM 1500 ARE NOT WORKING PROPERLY. NOTHING HAPPENS WHEN I MOVE THE SWITCH UP, AND WHEN I MOVE IT DOWN, THE RIGHT BLINKER COMES ON. THE WIPERS DON'T WORK PROPERLY, AND SOMETIMES THEY DON'T WORK AT ALL. THESE ARE ALL CONTROLLED BY THE TOGGLE SWITCH ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE STEERING COLUMN. TODAY 7/29/2010 I WAS DRIVING THROUGH A HEAVY DOWN POUR AND THE WIPERS STOPPED AS DESCRIBED. THE PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN OCCURRING FOR 1 AND 1/2 WEEKS. I HAVE READ ONLINE OF OTHERS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS, AND THE FIX IS A NEW SWITCH. *TR

I HAD MY DAUGHTER OUT FOR DRIVERS TRAINING WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE TURN SIGNALS STOPPED WORKING. WE PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT AND CHECKED FUSES BUT FOUND NO PROBLEM. I TOOK OVER DRIVING AND THE SIGNALS STARTED WORKING BY THERE SELVES. A WEEK LATER I WAS AT A STOP SIGN TURNING RIGHT ALL OF A SUDDEN THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL STARTED FLASHING ALTERNATE OF THE RIGHT FLASHING. THEN THEY STOPPED WORKING ALL TOGETHER. WHEN I RESTARTED THE TRUCK THE TURN SIGNALS STARTED WORKING AGAIN. YESTERDAY THE SIGNALS WOULD WORK ONCE AND THEN STOP WORKING UNTIL I WOULD RESTART THE TRUCK. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY COULD NOT DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM UNTIL THE SIGNALS ACTED UP SO THEY COULD SEE IT. I GUESS IT'S TIME TO GO TO THE DEALER AND GET IT FIXED. *TR

DODGE RAM 1500 2006 - TURN SIGNAL PROBLEMS. ON OCCASION THE TURN SIGNALS SHOW OPPOSITE EXTERIOR LIGHTING WHEN USED. FOR EXAMPLE, TURN SWITCH TO LEFT OR COUNTER CLOCKWISE, THE RIGHT SIDE EXTERIOR SIGNALS WILL LIGHT UP. SOMETIMES THEY DO NOT WORK AT ALL AND THE HAZARDS WILL NOT WORK EITHER. THIS IS A VERY SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

BASED ON A THOROUGH TROUBLESHOOTING PROCESS, IT WAS FOUND THAT THE TIPM UNIT IN MY 2006 DODGE RAM 1500 SLT 4.7L IS FAULTED / BAD. MY LEFT EXTERIOR SIGNAL WILL NOT FUNCTION AND FLASHES IN THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER ATY A RAPID RATE. PER DODGE, THIS IS INDICATIVE OF A BAD BULB OR SHORT CIRCUIT. I REPLACED ALL BULBS AND THE REAR LAMP CIRCUIT BOARD AS DIRECTED. NEITHER REPAIRED THE PROBLEM. AFTER TWO DAYS OF SEARCHING FOR A SHORT, A DODGE TECHNICIAN AND MYSELF FOUND THE TIPM TO HAVE A HIGH SIDE SHORT WHICH WILL NOT ALLOW CURRENT TO CONTINUE THROUGH THE CIRCUIT TO THE LAMPS. AN INTERNET SEARCH FINDS THIS TO BE A VERY COMMON FAULT OF THE DODGE MODULE IN MANY DODGE MODELS, YET DODGE CONTINUES TO EXPECT THE VEHICLE OWNERS TO PAY FOR THESE REPAIRS. MANY OWNERS SUCH AS MYSELF HAVE THIS ISSUE OUTSIDE OF THE WARRANTY PERIOD RESULTING IN A INAPPROPRIATE REPAIR BILL FOR A SAFETY ITEM DODGE KNOWS IS FAULTY AND WILL AT SOME POINT, FAIL, RESULTING IN OTHER SAFETY FEATURES OTHER THAN JUST A FLASHER AND BRAKE LIGHT GOING OUT. I CANNOT ACCEPT THAT DODGE IS CONTINUALLY ALLOWED TO USE SUCH FAULTY SAFETY MODULES WITHOUT BEING REQUIRED TO FIX THIS PROBLEM, WITHOUT THE OWNERS SUFFERING THE COSTS.

I HAVE AN 2006 DODGE MEGACAB WITH ONLY 40,000 MILES SINCE WE HIT 34,000 MILES THE TURN SIGNALS WORK INTERMITTENTLY OR NOT AT ALL. RECENTLY MY WIFE WAS ON THE FREEWAY AND ACTIVATED THE RIGHT TURN SIGNAL INDICATOR AND THE LEFT BLINKER CAME ON SHE WAS NEARLY HIT BY A FAST APPROACHING DRIVER FROM BEHIND. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER CORP. AND FILED A COMPLAINT A REP CALLED ME AND STATED THEY WOULD BY HAPPY TO COVER THE COST OF THE PART IF IT WAS DEEMED DEFECTIVE BY AND AUTHORIZED TECH I WOULD HOWEVER HAVE TO COVER THE SERVICE FEES. I EXPLAINED TO HER THAT OUR CURRENT FINANCIAL SITUATION WOULD NOT ALLOW THIS AND IN ESSENCE THIS WAS A DEFECTIVE PART AND THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT SHE GAVE ME THE IMPRESSION THAT THEY WERE NOT CONCERNED THIS WAS AN ISSUE OR EVEN A SAFETY ISSUE. I STATED THAT THE REPERCUSSIONS OF SUCH SHORT SIGHTEDNESS COULD BE FATAL FOR SOME UNFORTUNATE CHRYSLER PRODUCT OWNERS IF THIS IS NOT ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY AS I HAVE NOTICED A GROWING NUMBER OF ONLINE FORUM COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS VERY ISSUE. ALL WE ASK IS THAT THIS ISSUE BE ADDRESSED AS A RECALL ISSUE AND REPAIRS BE COMPLETED SATISFYING CUSTOMER REQUESTS TO ENSURE A SAFER DRIVING EXPERIENCE.

THERE HAS BE A NUMBER OF OCCASIONS THIS HAS HAPPENED ABOUT PROBABLY 100 TIMES BUT PAID NOT MUCH ATTENTION UNTIL THIS WINTER. THE TURN SIGNAL LEVEL IS ALSO USED TO TURN ON THE WIPERS ON THE VEHICLE. THE PROBLEM ARISES WHEN THE VEHICLE LIGHTS ARE TURNED ON, THE WIPERS ARE ON, AND THE TURN SIGNAL ARE TURNED ON. FOR NO REASON THE TURN SIGNAL FROM THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE IS THE ONE THAT OPERATES. NORMALLY WHEN YOU ARE TURNING TO THE RIGHT THE TURN SIGNAL DOES NOT TURN ON AND THE LEFT SIDE SIGNAL TURN ON. IN ORDER TO ALLEVIATE THIS PROBLEM I HAVE TO TURN THE WIPERS OFF COMPLETELY. THIS CAUSES A PROBLEM BECAUSE THIS IMPAIRS VISIBILITY AN ALSO IS GIVING OTHER DRIVERS THE WRONG SIGNALS. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT CAUSED THIS ISSUE BUT SINCE I RESIDE IN THE STATE OF VIRGINIA IT IS A REQUIREMENT THAT WHEN IT RAINS YOU MUST TURN YOUR LIGHTS AND WIPERS THIS HAS CAUSED ME A PROBLEMS SINCE I DEPEND ON THIS VEHICLE AND WHEN IT SNOWS OR RAIN I CANNOT OPERATE THE VEHICLE. I AM TAKING THE VEHICLE TO THE DODGE DEALER TOMORROW TO SEE WHAT IS THE PROBLEM. I HAVE NOT CAUSED ANY ACCIDENTS. SOME DRIVERS HAD GOT AGGRAVATED SINCE SOME TIMES I GIVE THEM THE WRONG TURN SIGNALS. THE INCIDENTS HAVE OCCURRED MANY TIMES IN THE LAST 8 MONTHS AND I HAVE NOTED THAT IS GETTING MORE FREQUENT SINCE WE HAVE GOT MORE SNOW AND RAIN IN THE NORTH EAST I WHISH I CAN PROVIDE SPECIFIC DATED BUT IT HAS HAPPENED SO MANY TIMES THAT I GOT TIRED OF IT AND I AM TAKING THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER TOMORROW. I AM PUTTING TODAY AS THE MOST CURRENT DATE. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 DODGE RAM 1500 4X4 ST. THE PROBLEM IS STATIC ELECTRICITY IN THE IGNITION SWITCH WHICH CHRYSLER ENGINEER HAVE ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THEIR IS A PROBLEM AND THE PROBLEM IS WHEN THE WEATHER IS DRY AND I GO TO START MY VEHICLE THE SURGE OF THE STATIC ELECTRICITY IN THE AIR SETS OF MY HORN, MY CHIMES, MY INTERIOR LIGHTS, MY CARGO LIGHTS AND MY OPEN DOOR LIGHTS. THE HORN BLARE FOR UP TO 3 TO 4 MINUTES AND THE REST TAKES AN HOUR OR MORE TO RESET THEMSELVES OR I HAVE TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY TO GET THEM TO STOP. THE DEALER SHIP GAVE ME A CAN OF STATIC GUARD TO SPRAY ON MY SEATS TO KEEP THIS FROM HAPPENING. AT NIGHT WHEN THIS HAPPENS, I HAVE TO CUT OFF MY INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS IN ORDER TO DRIVE BECAUSE OF THE INTERIOR LIGHTS STAYING ON. I HAVE TRIED THE LEMON LAW ETC. DAVE WEINBERGER A SPOKESMAN WITH CHRYSLER HAS NOT KEPT ME ABREAST OF WHAT IS GOING ON. I WANT MY TRUCK FIXED OR REPLACE WITH ANOTHER. MY FAMILY HAS ALLERGIES AND THE SPRAYING OF THIS STATIC GUARD IS NOT HELPING THEIR CONDITIONS EITHER!
