The problem started in 2009. Went to drive the truck and could not get the truck to drive over 20 MPH. Was able to get it to a dealer close by and had to have the throttle body positioning sensor replaced. Since that date I have had to have this same sensor changed 8 more times. Each time the private mechanic talks to chrysler and they recognize there is a faulty problem with this part and will not recall the item. When this sensor goes out it will not let you drive more than about 20mph. Also had to replace the accelerated pedal positioning sensor 4 times. Blinker problems noted by many other consumers I have also had. Where you turn on the left blinker and the right blinker comes on. As well as the A/C problem many consumers have mentioned the door breaks and then all you have is outside air coming in. My mechanic has tried to get replacement parts from chrysler to repair the problem and chrysler does not sell this part (please explain to me how they can make the vehicle and not sell the part to repair it when it breaks knowing it breaks often). Tie rods have also been a problem with my truck. No matter how tight they are they continue to come loose even after being replaced and then the truck will shake. My main concern at this point is it intermittently will die while driving down the highway. It will start right back up but will die again and then it wont duplicate the problem for 2 or 3 days and then will do it again. Have not been able to diagnose this problem yet. If anyone knows any suggestions to look at please advise.

No air from AC vents - defective design of recirculating door.
While driving my 2006 dodge 1500 megacab truck at 70 MPH, the truck started shaking violently and out of control. I held it as straight as I could and applied the brakes. The shaking finally stopped at about 20 MPH. This was especially dangerous, because it was in the fast lane of traffic during rush hour. I later read some forums on the internet that labeled this problem the "death wobble." it appears, from the many experiences described on the forums, that this is a common problem with dodge.

2006 dodge ram 1500 passable frame damage possible body and transmission damage. Buyer beware. They repoed this truck and pulled it backwards and it in 4 wheel drive then they used a roll back to pick up the truck under the back door. Then they set it on its nose to move it up on the roll back. This truck may have several problems that you can not see just by looking.
